Topic: Watch_Dogs for all systems

Sounds to me like people's expectations were to high, which is pretty funny cause that was part of the backlash after the initial release on other systems.

Well, we can also figure that Ubisoft could have done a better job. I didn't expect Ubisoft to do a good job on the port. I just figured they would, but since they kind of didn't, I'll just wait until the price is lower, I could buy a handful of other games that are more worthwhile, for $60, IMO. If they would have done a better job, I'd probably be finding a way to fit it into my wishlist or plan to purchase, but since they didn't, I'll wait for the price to go down. For me, it's not about expectations; I'll just buy something that I think is more worth my money.

While I haven't played the game yet, I found this bit interesting from a review:

"The biggest improvement, though, has to be the existence of the GamePad. It's hardly a revolutionary concept to use the Wii U's second screen just to show a city map, but it still feels amazing. I loved being able to just look down at the GamePad to see where everything was, rather than having to pause out of the game and search around"

I think it's interesting how the narrative about the game will always be that it came too late, that it was perhaps graphically/performance-wise inferior, that it did not add anything etc, but underneath all that, the simple truth of that awesome feeling of having the map in your fingertips for the GamePad lover... honestly, I see nothing simple or basic about having an interactive map at your disposal. It really does sound great, drawing my experience from other Game Pad games.
