Watch Dogs 1 was the single most boring game I got for free. The game opened up with a cutscene of "waa waa my niece died and I dissolved all my hacking powers, wallow in misery for the first ten missions of this game." and it continued to be shit. Any time you bumped into the idiot AI drivers your guy lost reputation which made escaping harder, any time you pulled a gun out in public you lost reputation which made the game more of a slog fest, driving wasn't fun, every outfit was a copy paste of trenchcoat/hat/bandana, and the hacking was a very boring context sensitive stuff on a timer.
I quit the game when I got slogged into a mission that was just some craptastic cover based shooting gallery where there was nothing to do but gradually poke your head out and jab mooks with your bullets, and you had no choice of how to play the mission out. The story sucked, the gamplay sucked, the ability to get immersed was nonexistent. The only good that came from the game is the glitch complations and that one gif of the player hacking someone on the street, seeing someone on the street visits furcons, and capping the NPC.
GTA V is a meme whale milking fest, but it absolutely slaughtered Watch Dogs. Watch Dogs put out some ad like "Take a trip to Chicago, have some fun away from Los Santos." and GTA V, about two days later, said "Ready to come home?"
