Aiden's niece is killed, so he murders 10,000 people and commits atrocities on a massive scale and ruins the lives of millions of innocent people. This game shouldn't just have a morality system, it should have a sanity system. It should have had an entire angle of the game like Spec Ops: The Line where you slowly realize you're a far bigger monster than the forces you are fighting and that you, in fact, created a crusade in your own head just so you can be a hero.

On top of all of this, your ammo is fully replenished on EVERY SINGLE LOADING SCREEN. Every death. Every mission restart. Every checkpoint. All 360 pistol and rifle rounds, 120 shotgun shells, 60 sniper rifle bullets, and 8 grenade launcher grenades (including reloading all your individual guns), are just given back to you. It's a stealth game that is too afraid to be a stealth game.

That was my exact reaction when I finally killed Default too. I emptied every round of ammo I had into him. He was such an annoying character, yet there was no catharsis in ending the fight with him, so I sat there shooting his lifeless corpse, feeling empty.

Disagree entirely with this and everything said here. The game is fine as is. Tbh, the next game needs to be more like this one. Maybe bring Aiden back and explore more of what he did inbetween 2 and Legion. Give me all the firearms (AT ONCE) so I can just switch to whatever suits my needs at will.

I like how the entire theme of the game is 'a pervasive security state network that knows everything all the time', and yet so many of the story's huge explosive occurences are just like, not noticed. By the pervasive security net. And it doesn't seem to be a deliberate commentary on the futile nature of a security state or anything. It's just, as you said, the police don't notice multiple gun battles and acts of terror in one of America's most important cities. Rip. Also given that the whole point and theme is the whole 'network' thing, uh. It doesn't feel like ctOS really was, like, important in the plot. It facilitated everything but only in the background, like Deadsec. If your summary is accurate then that's a little like Deus Ex barely bringing up human augmentation and transhumanism and just letting it hum along in the background the whole time while the prtagonist stops organizing gambling rings. I'll reference Mrbtongue's 'slow down the violence' video here, too. Some games benefit from running gun battles where you butcher hundreds or thousands of enemies as a god of war, and some games do not.

But when i figured out how much of a badass you can be i got highly addicted to high dynamic shootouts on a realistic difficulty. You can shoot grenades in the air (it is highly effective against group of opponents in front of you), shoot somebody in the chest during vaulting over cover (like E3 2012 demo) and every little combat skill gained from side activity can be at times a game changer (especially "disrupt comms", 'cause veterans with assault rifles are one hell of a deadly mothefuckers). Car explositions look really dope in this game and if you learn how to use all of the equipment the whole combat system turns into a fantastic action symphony.

I'd agree but it is said MANY times Aiden is not a hero. The first thing you see with Aiden is him trying to steal a ton of money. He's told repeatedly throughout the game he's NOT a good guy. He admits that he's just after revenge. In the end he is PUNISHED for his actions. Clara dies, t-bone leaves, and his family is terrified of him. You're thinking too one dimensional and going "We play as him, he is automatically the "good" guy". I think Watch dogs is phenomenal because you DON'T play as the good guy. You play as a criminal. Sure you take down Lucky Quinn but you don't do it because Quinn is bad. You do it because Quinn screwed you over. If he hadn't called in the hit, Aiden wouldn't give two shits about Quinn. Personally I love that because how against the grain it is

Aiden did the best he could with the time that he had on his hands to do what’s right even though many do see him as criminal just like the ones he catches on a regular basis whenever he’s on his vigilante patrols because of his strong desire of justice. The way I see him, he’s a very humanizing and relatable character with a very understandable character arch. You know for a man who Grew up in a very corrupt city in tough neighborhood, you can’t really except Aiden to be as light hearted, or optimistic as protagonist are before him after everything he’s been through as he got older. What’s unsurprising is that most players who played the game were playing as a menace instead of playing as vigilante according to the reputation system.

Even though it's a completely different sort of game with a completely different narrative and tone, the analysis of Aiden Pearce's character as an underhanded hacker with a gun in one hand and a phone in the other VS. the unstoppable killing machine he is in gameplay really reminded me of Gunpoint by Tom Francis. Any sort of comparison between the two games is pointless just because of how different they are, but it still made me think about how Gunpoint managed to do a good job of making a protagonist that is successful due to their infiltration/combat skills in conjunction with their hacking, not able to get by on just brute force despite being more-than-capable of it. Conway is able to K.O security with a single punch, but only if they're unaware, unarmored, and alone. He's incredibly acrobatic, but guards are able to line up shots while he's airborne if they get the chance. His hacking is perfect for infiltration, but extremely situational and almost entirely lacking in offensive options. He manages to best someone of seemingly-equal abilities (the other agent on the final level), but only because he brought a gun and they didn't. (or, alternatively, you avoided their pounce) His whole character, both in gameplay and story, feels like a balancing act that's constantly threatening to topple over, but doesn't. (if my memory isn't failing me, which it probably is)

This is an ancient video but I just found this channel recently. So I’ve be going through and watching this unique content. Glad I found this channel, it’s great to discuss video games and break down of the stories. I actually like this game, Watch Dogs was a lot of fun for me. I made my own story pretending to be Batman not killing anyone. Using only take downs, lures and non lethals. It was hard but I completely beat the game that way. I treated each encounter like a puzzle and tried to not get caught. I played on the Xbox 360 so the driving wasn’t that bad. I think ignoring the story start and making my own story made it better for me but that’s just my opinion. Great review and a good watch.

Two (2) things the game did that I really enjoyed. Their small things though so take it as you will 1. The fact you can help people out of their cars during firefights. The small gesture towards helping people during the chaos without turning it into a escort mission is really neat 2. The fact that shooting the bad guy during crimes is actually the bad thing to due, since it’s a overreaction. If someone steals someone else’s purse and you dome them, it’s rightfully treated as murder.

Probably shouting into the void here but one possible reason for wireless enabled grenades would be for remote detonation. Throw one out and you or someone controlling the team’s gear through a PAN could signal it to explode right when it rounds cover to gib the guy on the other side before they can even react. Of course, they probably don’t do that in this game as grenades exploding right when they get close to you probably wouldn’t be very fun. Then again it might be used to nudge you more towards using hacking and preparation, taking out a strike team’s tech geek before messing with their comms, gear and weapons sounds like it might be fun example, but I’m already 4 years late to this particular party so I guess it doesn’t really matter.

A certain anniversary just passed, and... yeah. This continues to be VERY REALISTIC.

I was thinking the exact same thing about weapon limits, with only handgun being concealable, Mafia style. It looks absolutely wild when Aiden pulls out GPMG or grenade launcher from his bumbag.

Rewatching this review, it really does seem like the original version of the story was going to be far more critical of Aiden’s actions and expose his hypocrisy at every turn. Then at some point it got shuffled to a different Ubisoft division who decided that you couldn’t play as an unsympathetic hero in an open world game, but forgot to change earlier story beats to accommodate for that.

19:35 It's interesting you bring this up, as intially Aiden was only able to carry his M1911. Larger weapons had to be taken off of dead enemies. It's baffling as to why they did this, as I feel the game would be miles better with this limitation. Guess they had to compete with GTA V.

One detail I liked about pre release or as I like to call it E3 watch dogs. Aiden was nowhere near as powerful as he is in the game right now. In E3 watch dogs he could only carry his handgun around with him and he would have to pick weapons up from dead enemies to use for a limited time. The weapon wheel was replaced by the hacks where you would have to pick which hack you wanted to use

Oh,by the way, you should mention there is an ability on the Combat skill tree, that let you kill the Juggernaut with a melee attack. Because you know, apparently, Aiden is strong enough to actually cause sever impact (and not break in the process the baton) a guy wearing a suit capable of resisting small explosions

Your ammo is replenished on every death/mission fail. I think they removed grenades being refilled, because nowadays that's the only ammo that doesn't come back without buying it or finding very few drops for it. Seriously, Aiden is a goddamn one-many army.

considering what they're doing with Watch dogs legion. we're still going to get Gun master aiden and hacking god aiden, but seperate from each other, and retired old ladies with automatic shotguns

I often see reviews where people say that some game got them through hard times. In my case, the hard times got me through this game.

Watch_Dogs is probably what I would consider one of my guilty pleasures. It's not good by any stretch. But there is something about it I enjoy.

They did Aiden's character justice in the Watch_Dogs Legion: Bloodlines DLC

I love how Aiden's only excuse as to why he didn't just run over Lucky Quinn is "I've been trying to avoid that kind of thing", even though at no point in the game up to that point had he been avoiding that kind of thing. He was ACTIVELY DOING that kind of thing when he saw Quinn in the first place. Hell, he'd even ALREADY had the cliche "No, I'm not falling back into that life" talk... again, while ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN THAT LIFE.

If I recall Aiden at that moment was tracking down who killed his niece and taking down petty criminals for kicks. "You like to practice MMA? well why didn't you step in the ring with Connor McGregor?" At that point in time Quinn hadn't done anything to piss Aiden off. Aiden didn't kill Quinn because he was a crime lord, he killed Quinn for revenge. If he hadn't called the hit on Aiden that got Lina killed, he wouldn't give two shits about Quinn. Aiden's story isn't a hero's story. It's a twisted villains story

I love this review, because it is done from a place of genuine and honest hatred, and that is so vanishingly rare. The honest and genuine part, anyway.

My favorite part about Watch Dogs was when if someone started shooting at you and kept doing it, if an NPC then called for the Police, the moment they came they joined the guy shooting at you and tried to murder you as well even if you never returned fire or even struck back and just tried to run away. Is it possible for AI in this game to stand for Actually Idiotic instead of the more regular meaning?

I immediately disconnected with Aiden when his big catalyzing event is the death of his.... niece. Not his girlfriend, not hi wife, not his sibling, not his parents, not his child. His niece. Now I'm not saying that a person can't be strongly protective of their nieces and nephews, but the intensity of how this effects him is to a degree far beyond what I'd ascribe to a relative as distant as that, and it just made me go "Dude why are you so mad?" And he acts so horribly wronged, but like... dude you're a _criminal._ This is a direct consequence of your own actions. Could you show the least bit of self awareness? Did you think you could just rob billionaires and nothing would come of it? The arrogance and stupidity on display, along with the relative of choice being fridged just made it so I could not connect with him in any way shape or form.

Ubisoft created their own genre called:" creatively bankrupt games with incredible repetitive content , with an annual release" oh also buggy , poorly optimized

"iconic" ubisoft calls a simple base cap with a symbol, wich is not memorable iconic. Do they even know what words mean.

sitting here watching this video just gave me an idea on how to make Aiden an actually interesting character. instead of just making him some random sod who seemingly has access to everything for no explained reason, they could've instead made him an ex-employee for the ctOS parent company. Make him into the chief IT guy or technical programmer for the security system and it'd give us a valid reason as to why he's able to have such in-depth access to ctOS. it'd also give him a fall from grace sort of story, where after attempting to trace a hacking attempt on the Merlot hotel, the criminals who attempted to breach learn that Aiden is actively working to track them, so they hunt him down instead, kill his sister and niece while he's driving them home and blackmail his boss into firing him. and in doing so, he'd lose his only source of income and eventually his home later in the story, forcing him to seek refuge in The Bunker, the old abandoned ctOS warehouse where their dated technology resides. this would make his backstory even more tragic, turn him into a far more sympathetic and relatable character by instilling him with a sense of survivors guilt that drives him to do the things he does. it'd also be a valid excuse as to why Aiden would be far more fragile with the gameplay changes you've suggested. he'd have to use his technical know-how to craft devices and hack stuff in order to give him a leg up in stealth and chases. plus with a limited weapon selection he'd be unable to cover every possible engagement in a direct firefight.

In resume, The Saboteur is a totally different game, is a neo-noire, with shady characters, even your own allies, and even the most idealistic end with a bullet in their heads.

Its funny you didn't like jordi, he's infinitely more likeable than Aiden. He's actually having fun. It's an interesting game, because it was developed and redeveloped and written and rewritten multiple times. I think the original idea was that Aiden was going to be affiliated with Blume, his sister was his wife, and her kids his kids. The whole "Blume is using their city spanning surveillance system to psychologically manipulate people" thing was going to be an actual plot point, not just background fluff. I think Aiden's magical crime prediction software was going to be intended purpose of the system, but it was instead using to make mayors kill their secretaries so they could be blackmailed. Aiden was going to be more of a punisher than a batman, or players would have some choice in this. One thing easily missed is that the game actually notes if you kill enemies or incapacitate them with arm or leg shots, reducing the negative impact you get from shooting police. I think a bigger focus was going to be aiden fighting crime instead of shooting twenty cops or "fixers" everytime he crosses the street, with this eventually spilling into some of the bigger plots instead of aiden being a petty criminal and vigilante with Iconic Coat and Hat (tm). And spider tank is an infinitely better game that Watch Dogs.

Oh no, the bad guy has shown a picture of aiden in his suit, his hat and his stupid mask to the public so anyone can call him when they see him. IF ONLY HE COULD REMOVE HIS STUPID SUIT.

I feel like they were trying to show Aiden has a hero complex but didn't put forth enough effort in that. Most of the stuff that happens to him is at the very least partially fueled by his own decisions. He wants to protect his sister and nephew from the people who killed his niece, but they're in danger because Aiden is provoking them. Like this could have been better story, but as it stands, it's just ok.

I dont know why i like this game, because i agree with most of your points

It's called Chiraq for a reason.

personaly i think Aiden Pearce is a great character and quite possibly one of the best Ubisoft made and i think is Wrong to mistake him as generic just because of the main game's plot being that of revenge, Aiden has some characteristics that makes him unique to me and very interesting, he is not a safe character that many people would like to play as, his view on the world and people can be quite uncomfortable at times but that's what makes him unique, he is not like Nathan Drake or any beloved triple A character, Aiden is more grounded and beliveable, HE IS a overly protective paranoid sociopath due to to his traumas and past experiences with life, in his childhood his dad was a criminal and sort of is what draw him on this life of crime, Aiden became a criminal too and that's how he knows how other criminals think and therefore can make plans on how to fight them, his experience with guns is believable since he was a mercenary and gang member almost his entire life, what many people usually mistakes Aiden for is just a normal Hacker with no combat experience but that is completly false...Aiden only learned how to hack once he meet Damien wich was kind of late, hacking is not really his main thing but thanks to ctOS it becomes very usefull to him, well Aiden is a very Straight to the point kind of character he doesn't crack jokes after commiting his "genocide" because he 100% knows and admits that what he is doing is kind of wrong....kind of wrong, because the good people will obviously benefit of there being less criminals in the streets and he sort of likes doing it, you're never meant to empathize with him so i really wish i could understand why so many people thinks he is meant to be portrayed as a "hero" or a "good guy" he is neither of those things he does what he does not to keep the streets safe or for moral reasons, in the bloodline dlc he admits that there is no point in doing this because this kind of evil will never stop existing, he did it for himself, he felt good putting an end to the Chicago criminal underworld, he felt good commiting these rampages and the player felt good too because well.... it's fun to play as a man that posseses Godly like reflexes, a ton of guns and has the power to control all the technology around him the game has a sort of ludonarrative harmony were the gameplay fits the story, the player likes to kill and Aiden also likes to kill and that's why i enjoy playing as him so much the gameplay in more specific the gunplay is a lot more deep than a standard 3rd person cover shooter it can be the closest thing we will ever get to a John Wick game,the only problem is that the the game never tutorializes nor incentivizes you to play that way, your takedowns can regenerate your focus witch would incentivize you to perform takedowns more often but the problem is that the game never tells you that, the same thing with the fact that you can shoot grenades in mid air with the slow motion creating some quite amazing and impressive moments, if you want a demonstration i would recommend you to watch a video by the youtuber Visceral Carnage where he displays all of this in a compilation video, the gunplay of watch dogs 1 can be intense and very, very stylish if you understand how it works and if you get good at it the shooting can be sub par to max payne 3 in some moments, filled with action and cinematic moments that i miss so much in the sequels, all of the animations are also very satisfiyng i just wish we had more shooters like these, the stealth is also very good i can't say it is as deep as the gunplay because it is indeed very basic...well that is if you DON'T use the silenced weapons, if you don't use them then you will be able to combine the stealth with the hacking and they become a lot less shallow when you combine them both, you were meant to use the hacking while infiltrating not just hack from the outside and once you step in the restricted area act like if the hacking didn't even exist wich is a mistake i see many people do.
