I know this isn't going to happen for obvious reasons, but I think Watch Dogs would be a million times better if it was set in a dystopian future setting not unlike the meme below

,and had things like
- Destructible environments
- Meaningful changes to the world based on your actions (e.g. you see more and more people breaking the demanded norms as the powers that be start to lose control)
- Multiple factions you can support over one another
- Realistic and interesting politics without a clear X group is bad and X group is good narrative
As for the factions, I'd have kind of a corpo/government uni group be the primary antagonists with different realistic factions that don't like each other being either aligned with the protagonist or acting as rival counterculture groups based on the player's decisions (e.g. if you support the communist tankies too much, the libertarians and traditionalists will start acting against you). The core theme of the politics would be that the various groups share the same opinion that is "things have gone horribly wrong," but obviously disagree on why things have gone wrong, and have dramatically different views on how to actually fix things.
