Being I work in IT, I reviewed the first Watch Dogs, and it didn't seem to do well.
But, Watch Dogs 2, seems to look interesting, no?

What do you think?

The first Watch Dogs had wonky controls and the storyline was sub-par. The protagonist, Aiden, in Watch Dogs was good though. I think it's also fair to say the first Watch Dogs was one of the first Gen console games released on the PS4/XBox1, where it struggled graphically in some areas.

Watch Dogs 2 does look promising and the pre-release reviews look positive. Likely I will picking this one up when release. I also like Open world games.

Looks OK, but the first was so meh! I can't find the desire to purchase WD2 even if it does have PS4 Pro support. It still looks 'generic' if you know what I mean.

The first Watch Dogs struggled. It was sort of playable at best. I almost didn't finish it. Watch Dogs 2 from the beta and initial reviews have said it's improved greatly over the first one. I'm going to give it a chance and see how the developers progressed with this version.

Keep us posted and how it runs on the pro and I may give it a chance :)

So far the reviews are very good for Watch Dogs 2. Metacritic have it a 8.3, and most of the user reviews easily above a 9/10. Will be kicking up tomorrow. Very pleased to read refreshing reviews on this game. It sounds like Ubisoft revamped a lot of the mechanics which hurt the first Watch Dogs.

It looks better, but the first one is on my all time worst game list, so it would be hard for me to try part 2. But on the good side...it can't be any worse :).

Watch Dogs 2 is far supererior over the first one. Ubisoft improved on everything and listened to the Gamers feedback from the first one. The reviews are also very positive. I have played both and Watch Dogs 2 is very good.
