Level of Fail: Windows 11 24H2 and AC Shadows, Veilguard, Avowed +R.I.P. Ubisoft +Completed 3/22/2025 +Story is cringe though can be fun +Buying cars +Marcus has some moves +Sitara has some awesome moves also +Horatio's end story was funny +Collecting car paint jobs +Ubistolen - Why didn't you try and make a space game?. Did look a bit like a Borderlands clone. I think it would of been cool though. We'll never know what a AC: Mars Gets Revenge game would've been like. +Worth the $8. Good game on sale. +Beautiful game world +All the clothes you can buy. Some of them are actually worth buying. +The scenic views are worth it +Miranda was a good character. Even though his job was pretty useless and pretty much did nothing. +Car and bike boost mode +Some funny texts and voice calls +Calling hits out of cops, hitmen and civilians. Calling cops on civilians and hitmen. Good for a distraction and the boredom. +Some really good cool looking vehicles +Killing civilians is always a win.. in a digital world of course ;-) +/- Some music is alright. The rest of of it is bad. -Timed puzzles can kiss my a.ss -Fu.ck You tencent -Lack of real background stories on other main dedsec members -Any form of timed missions -Reverse discrimination -Can't customize billboards like you can in Watch_Dogs Legion. I know this came first. Still though. -Can't customize cars like you can in GTA V sadly -Vehicles still handle like crap. though not as bad as Watch_Dogs

Watchdogs 2 Improves on every aspect of Watchdogs 1 except for one thing; the story. The story in this one is incredibly stupid. They trade the dark tone of the first for a lighthearted goofy clown show that doesn't make any sense on a narrative level. You will go through a mission killing like 50 guys just so you can play a stupid prank on a corporation. They could have easily written the story to match the tone of the first one, but decided to go with this route instead. It just feels like no one who made this game had even seen or heard of the first game. It's still a fun game because the world, puzzles, movement, and gameplay is improved from the first, but the story is just plain stupid. I'd recommend if you are a fan of the series, but this is where the series started to go downhill and I would stop at this one and Ignore Legion ever existed.

The story is great but it's to buggy to actually play. bodies flying everywhere, cranes launching me out, game freezing. It's just a whole mess. It's hard to play the game with all these bugs.

Amazing, I bought this game just to be told I don't have the Uplay key and after hours of trying to fix I still can't play a game I paid for. Ubisoft is the worst fucking game company. At least I didn't accumulate unplayed hours so I can refund this shit.

This game is a disappointing mess. Congratulations Ubisoft, You once again nearly made a game that doesn't suck. So much of this game was made well but then sloppily finished, driving is better then the WD1 but still woeful and same with the cops, they are still an unstoppable force that know where you are going, no matter what or spawning in basically on top of you. Such a great idea for a game made by an incompetent studio, what a waste.

Watch Dogs 1, 2 and Ghost Recon Wildlands are the only Ubisoft games I can recall being genuinely enjoyable. This game is damn near nine years old and somehow blows the newest AC game out of the water.

Amazing game! Really got into it thanks to the characters, the music was a vibe. Fairly broken though, had flickering shadows I needed to patch and several times the game refused to start thanks to issues with Ubisoft Connect I also needed to fix Aside from the broken nature of it I really enjoyed it! 10/10 game

Ubisoft Connect/Easy Anti-Cheat made this game literally unplayable. I tried booting up this game for like 3 days but I kept getting "Untrusted system file uplay_aux_r164.dll" pop ups and would just close out the game. I tried verifying files, redownloading the game, uninstall and reinstall UC, etc. I love the game itself but holy crap just let me play the game without this headache.
