LGR Plays - Watch Dogs


Watch Dogs (stylized as WATCH_DOGS) is an action-adventure video game franchise published by Ubisoft, and developed primarily by its Montreal and Toronto studios using the Disrupt game engine.[1] The series' eponymous first title was released in 2014, and it has featured three games in total, the most recent being 2020's Watch Dogs: Legion. Several tie-in books and a comic book miniseries set in the games' universe have also been published.

Gameplay in the Watch Dogs games focuses on an open world where the player can complete missions to progress an overall story, as well as engage in various side activities. The core gameplay consists of driving, shooting, and stealth segments, with occasional role-playing and puzzle elements. The Watch Dogs games are set in fictionalized versions of real-life cities, at various points in time, and follow different hacker protagonists who, while having different goals to achieve, find themselves involved with the criminal underworlds of their respective cities. The antagonists are usually corrupt companies, crime bosses, and rival hackers who take advantage of ctOS (central Operating System), a fictional computing network that connects every electronic device in a city together into a single system and stores personal information on most citizens. The player also has access to ctOS, which can be used to control various devices to assist them in combat or solving puzzles.

The games have received generally positive reviews for their gameplay elements, mission structure, and world design, with criticism for frequent technical issues. The narratives and characters have garnered mixed reactions. The series has been financially successful, with lifetime sales for Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2 exceeding 20 million units in total


I pre-ordered Watch Dogs Legions on PlayStation 4 before it came out in the UK, because it was set in London, I then ordered a copy of Watch Dogs 2 on PS4 too, both from Amazon I think, then I went to CEX in Norwich and got a second hand copy of Watch Dogs (2014) for PS4.

So this was a first game I played, but a few weeks latter I found I already had Watch Dogs (2014) on my XBox One S, as I downloaded a few years before, when it was a XBox Gold Live game? I got it and did not play it, till I had it for the PS 4?


I also now got a PlayStation 3 version of Watch Dogs (2014)too a few weeks ago or months, but this year? for £2:50 from CEX, Norwich.


I remember reading on some new story online somewhere I do not know now, that Grand Theft Auto Online for the PlayStation 5 and XBox Series S/X version will add Chicago too, may be after I looked for it, I read something wrong then? 

But at the time, I was 💭 will it be like this ?
