Watch Dog metacritic reviews

[Phoenixmgs_v1legacy]

I am just saying that it does not have to be like that. Often open worls games or at least massive area games are just as good looking.

I've never seen an open world game look as good or better than a linear game on the same console.

Well the metacritic part is probably another social balance issue, "professionals" blow smoke up the big budget titles ass and people then go the other way and shit on it to try and even things out, not productive either way.

The game itself... is ok, just ok, nothing overly bad and nothing that would put it above competitors. If anyone asks I will still recommend GTA, Saints Row, Sleeping Dogs, Red Dead Redemption, possibly even Mafia before mentioning Watch Dogs, because all the others have something unique that will stick with you in them and this one doesn't.

It's worse than that. Metacritic is a lobbyist aggregator. The most piss poor games imaginable still get mid-to high scores on every major review site. Gaming has no Roger Ebert. It has no review integrity outside of smaller publications with more credibility. Hello Escapist.

Not only does it not have a "Roger Ebert", it has the polar opposite: Dorito-gate
