Watch Dogs

What is it? I can't remember.

Oh, Watch Dogs.

Watch Dogs.

Watch Dogs.

The streets were so freaking narrow.

I hated that.

Like, it doesn't matter what...

Even Watch Dogs to an extent, you know? See, I was just about

to say, I think Watch Dogs was the point where it fell off.

Watch Dogs, Aiden Pearce's iconic cap.

If you remember Sterling as well on those videos.

Yeah.

oh my god the way that they took the piss out of Ubisoft for that

iconic Ubisoft market the iconic cap if you ever go look at it yeah I think that was the moment for me when I lost faith I lost faith in Ubisoft at that point and then also Unity when the bugs came out with that so I bought that a lot it was it was

No?

So, like, when you're in Watch Dogs, when you're, like, walking around the street and you can profile people just walking by, there's, like, so many people that come up with dominatrix.

Oh, really? Yeah.

No shit.

I really

want to troll and say Watch Dogs, but it's not that.

Watch Dogs.

You know,

honestly, Watch Dogs isn't that bad.

Watch Dogs is a good game, but, like,

nobody in their right mind says it's the best game.

The story's terrible.

Yeah, there's very, like, very...

Like, I think Watch Dogs Legion kind of gets at the same idea in ways, but none of that is exactly...

That game was very, just from the title alone, is very much trying to sell you the James Bond Mission Impossible kind of spy idea.

You walk

So you have to have them be very specific situations and very specific things that unfold a certain way.

And as such, finding a way to create that emergently is borderline impossible, I would imagine.

Well, remember how excited we were over that feature of Watch Dogs, which really was like the spy espionage stuff, where you walk by people and you can get their data and know who they are.

And that ended up sucking.

moving on to games that we'd like to see come back in a way.

Watch Dogs is still important to the company, but a new game isn't coming in the works.

So it's important, but you're not going to make a new one.

That's a sentence.

That's Ubisoft at this point.

I would like.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Watch Dogs, mostly because I felt like all three of those games were all broken promises.

Like, everything you see in the trailers for that game, like, half of those things you can't even fucking do in the game.

I've heard a lot of, a lot of good talk about Ghost Recon

... you know, like Watch Dogs, good map.

Man, I wanna play Watch Dogs.

Those-

Would you recommend that one to me and our audience?

Yeah, for sure

...

I can't lie, Watch Dogs was great.

Instead, in 2014, Ubisoft sent a safe to a Sydney, Australia-based media staff member that, when played with, started beeping and resulted in the police being called again and the building being evacuated.

This time, it was a review copy of Watch Dogs.

Guess you could say that the game was the bomb.

[laughs] Nice one.
