Was Ubisoft making WatchDogs 2 that big of a surprise ? I remember a lot of people saying WD 1 wasn ' t so hot , but hoped that a sequel could build from it and make something notable . By most accounts WatchDogs 2 made some welcome changes and people say it ' s a good game . Not only that , but Ubisoft has precedence for continuing a franchise after a commercially successful IP launch with a less than sterling critical response , Assassin ' s Creed . AC 1 had some issues , but people were more than willing to give the improved sequel a go . I ' m not saying the article is correct or anything . But I don ' t see why people have necessarily forsaken WatchDogs . <| sep |> Thanks . Added a link to imgur hopefully that ' s allowed here . Don ' t know why images aren ' t ?
