I honestly can't believe how much of a backwards step this feels compared to Watch Dogs 2.
Even if none of the new stuff worked out (which it kind of didn't) there was still so much quality in Watch Dogs 2 to fall back on. The world however feels so empty and lifeless and as a Londoner the representation of the city is frankly a bit shit, they've missed out some of the biggest/best parts of the city, why is Oxford street reduced to a fucking dead end and where is Centre Point? I understand they can't cover the whole city (nor should they aim too) but jesus this feels disappointing in comparison to the size and scope of the previous game.
But it's the smaller details I miss, I've not seen a single animal so far in the game let alone the countless breeds of dogs you could find and interactive with in Watch Dogs 2.
Finally, going so far into the future was always a red flag for me. I don't need to see London as this super dystopian city full of clichés and bowler hats that prove they never even went to visit. The city itself is already interesting and diverse enough that just setting it in 2020 would of been preferable.
I'd like to think they could salvage this with a patch or some of the DLC but I really am starting to feel this game is a lost cause.
