The Gist - 4 Ways Watch Dogs Can Win Over Assassin's Creed Haters

I love the AC series even AC 3, and went nuts with AC 4.

Two of my favourite things combined, pirates and AC.

The only thing i DON'T like is the multiplayer in the AC series, it ruins the game.

As for Watch Dogs, it's a great game but doesn't furfill the hype that was build around it.

You should have done Xbox One earlier.

Because it would be easier

Assassin's Creed haters don't deserve to play video games.

Watch Dogs has a far steeper learning curve then Assassins Creed. And WD is slower paced as well. WD thus far has been a let down for me. Solid game, just not a 9 or 10 like I thought it would.

Who the hell hates AC? Ok AC3 sure, that was terrible. But the whole series?!

Great Show. Great insights.

Games like this might get people excited about learning technology--hopefully for good things.

COMIC RELIEF - The Saints Row 3 & IV and King & Queen.

Everyone else needs lessons.

The Saints kick everybody's ass even the Chicago, Los Santos, Sydney and every where else.

I love Ubisoft. I'll be getting this game this weekend.

Thank you Jess.

ACIV was much better than Watch Dogs.

Watch Dogs seemed like it was an E3 tech demo, and Ubi only started to work on it because everyone loved it--the hype. Maybe it's because they used a new engine. It's not polished and the awful textures produced during the day are just unbearable. I've never been someone who complains about graphics, but it's an eye-soar just the same. Watch Dogs is still a fun game though.

I'm an Assassin's Creed hater. No shame about it.

I love the non-animus parts of AC!!! hahahaha Am I the only one? :(

That being said Watch_Dogs unfortunately makes a lot of the same mistakes as AC IV. It's such a formulaic, static game, it's a shame. It often just feels like "working of a list of achievements aka side activities". And the visibility of everything on the map and in the menu kills every sense of discovery or "magic" from the very beginning.

Do you really people who don't like AC to play your games? :P

So, by haters do you mean people who dislike the game for genuine reasons? Why the hell does someone have to be classified a "hater" if they dislike a game series. I used to love this series but it slowly went downhill when they decided to pump out games annually. I believe the story quality deteriorated and the gameplay got old. So am I a hater?

Will probably get it when it drops to $20

I never got that into Assassins Creed....first game was okay but by around games end I just quit 1 cus I wasn't getting anywhere and 2 cus it was getting super annoying.....

never really bothered with the rest of the series....

Watch Dogs is good cus it takes the best parts of Assassins and throws out the crap, also borrows the best from GTA and throws out it's crap....game plays like a GTA but then goes way beyond what GTA does.....

Leave it to Jess McDonell to know that after 5 Assassin's Creed games last gen that I got worn out by Assassin's Creed. Good show, Jess

Late this year when I pick up a PS4 I may get this, assuming it's cheap by then. I can't see paying much for yet another GTA style game with a new gimmick. At least Sleeping Dogs offered a unique atmosphere and great melee combat.

Assassin's Creed... It seems like a game I would really love, especially that it has open world, parkour, cool character design and historical setup. However, I have tried AC1 and 2 and couldn't bother to finish any of them :S i don't know why.

Watchdogs looks more interesting to me though. I'll just wait and see what they do with the PC version.

The crybabies is near endless for Watch Dogs. Does it match the hype? Hell no. Everyone was making this to be the second coming of GTAV or something. It's fun and it is for me playable unlike Assassin's Creed which I just could not get into.

It's ALOT better than GTA IV and the main char is STILL more charismatic than Buloc and that is saying something.

Skipping WatchDogs.

Wolfenstein looks great with a good story and writing. And I usually avoid FPS.

Watch Dogs was originally named Assassins Dogs Auto. But it was too many words. :) It looks like a cool game. Will get it at some point.
