I was just using GTA as an example because that's the title set up to make groundbreaking moves in the genre and still didn't. It's a hard thing to do. 95% of games are just iterations of things that came before until that one in a million idea pops into existence, and the clone + iteration cycle starts again. Going into any title with the expectation that you're going to be playing something revolutionary is setting yourself up for disappointment.

I don't know if the game is good or bad. I can only comment to what the game looks like to be. The eurogamer review seems a balanced assessment of the game pros and cons. They gave it a 7, which is the game of the "good not great", which is good nonetheless. Guess what, I think I'll buy this game when I'll eventually get a PS4.
I don't trust IGN review, I think they use just the last two digit of the 10 scale. Also I don't trust Eurogamer Italy (I'm italian). I tend to trust Gerstmann reviews for action-adventure games.
I mean, I'm stating the obvious. Why everyone is so defensive about this multi-million-dollar production by a multi-million-dollar developer?

Well to be fair, that sounds like the kind of thing they might have a reason to highlight

My review for God Is A Geek
The All Your Base quote is nice. Kinda.

Ah, sounds better then some of what I've read. Might give this a bash when an all-dlc edition comes out.
Yes, I read it.
And my point still stands. You're taking their comments as gospel and saying that others are sugar coating things, not having played the game yourself. You're the only one with bias here.

Honestly, I don't care about one way or another about the company itself. I only latched on to your post since it seemed to me that you were doing what I expect people will be doing in this thread: cherry picking results to their liking (high end or low end).
This reminds me of Quake 2 and Unreal. Learn level-design by no-clip.
Ow. These are... painful...
Memes (including long dead ones) in text form with no context whatsoever just suck. It's not funny if you just say it, and most of the time they aren't funny even with context. It's almost the lowest form of internet humor.
Hahahahahahahahaha......... Brilliant!!!

Seeing far too many videos like this. Is this game a glitchy mess?

Controls seem to be laboured on PC and the multiplayer sounds more interesting than single player.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. A service for future speedruns.

If people want to hear more about the game and can't be bothered to read here's me chatting about the game post review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO0OLT0rLEU
Everything else in the game is pretty simplified. But that part is too much work when youre trying to evade 3-4 cop cars.
One button press should do it honestly.

I like the cut of your jib.
It looks bad because those images have been compressed to death. Need cleaner examples.
No?

I think I'm going to trade it in a couple of days. GTA V really burnt me out of this open world city game already.
The story isn't really interesting and Maiden Pierce is a bland protagonist, hacking is nice, but I got bored of it quickly.
The only thing truly enjoyable so far are the mini games like Spider.
September can't come soon enough so I can get Destiny.

Good scores but still underrated. This is a great game (GiantBomb review is a joke though).

Watch Dogs clearly has taken some inspiration from AC4. Possible proof that both games are in the same universe?
Be sure to listen with the sound on
AC4 - The Holy Ship
Ha! Still had it open in the browser. For the posterity, the reviewer must have been pretty embarrassed to notice this mistake, being one of the biggest releases of the year and all that.
Mimicing GTA is a negative? Really? Really now.
If it's a poor imitation than sure.

It's a back-end problem where it shows the wrong score. If you hit refresh, it should be back to normal. I'm hoping it can be resolved soon.
Review has been pulled back to pending for some reason. I'm checking into why that is now. Once it's live, I'll post it here so it can be added to the OP.

There are barely any insta fail stealth missions.
Looks like they missed some spots.

One of the npc's was an Abstergo (that's the AC company, right?) employee.

Quantity generally rates well. Even AC3 got decent reviews.

You're right. I had forgotten about that.
