I have a more favorable view of Watch_Dogs than most but not without some constructive criticisms(or more like suggestions)

I felt the 1st Watch Dogs had a good enough starting point, way better than the 1st Assassin's Creed in fact. Yeah there were things that could be adjusted, absolutely. They could definitely expand on the crime detection and not just make it a back alley attack, I definitely felt like they could expand on that much deeper. I thought the gang hideouts and criminal convoys were really good, but there should be a lethal/non-lethal choice in the case of criminal convoys as Watch Dogs is a pretty furtive game at its core. The street sweeper side missions in the DLC were great and should be implemented. Some character designs were good especially Aiden and that dope leather jacket but some needed to be scrapped, for example, the enforcer model and the hardhats - those designs just didn't fit. They didn't explore the morality system at all when it came to IDing people and hacking their accounts like they did in the e-book on amazon for example whenAiden hacked a meth dealer's account clean.

Which leads to the economic system, Aiden hid out in safehouse containers in the first one - so why not expand on that in a bigger way with more options other than going to sleep? That's another thing they explored more in the books as there was more variety than just the motel room and the containers. maybe safehouse purchases and more black market stuff to make the economic aspect more stimulating(something GTA5 did really well) And the bunker should've had more than just easter eggs. the ctOS HQs were good since you could go in lethal or just hack from the outside, so that was fine. Minus the motorcycles, there were lots of complaints about the driving and in that was the only real use for hacking traffic lights, and they can sure make that more strategic like causing a detour in criminal convoys maybe.

I liked the game alot to be honest and didn't have a problem with Aiden Pearce since he reminded me of Marlo Stanfield and Bill Belichick as far as personality, I understand it well enough. I think the second will be a knockout if they play it right, and I think they will... it's important that they do because there was a backlash from the last one. I'm sure we'll get a new character since it's a new city and setting, I'm on board
