Watch Dogs was a perfectly enjoyable game. If they hadn't over-promised (even lied) beforehand then there'd be no shame in this.mrjoe94 said:
What's the last AAA game you played that wasn't part of a preexisting IP?

Until Dawn, Evil Within, Last of Us and Splatoon.
Damn. I was sure there was more than that but the Triple A part threw me off. But to be honest:
Last three books I read were Star Trek or Hanibal Lector novels.
Last three movies in theaters were either Marvel or Mad Max related.
Existing IP is how we get dragged in. Comics wise I've been reading the same IP that have existed for at least 60 years.
It's not anything new. A successful IP gets onto the pop culture and we all watch/read/play/listen.

Lords of the Fallen.
I stopped playing it a week or two ago. Very similar to Souls, yet so... different. In a bad way. Attempted a second playthrough, but I don't think I'll do it.
Other than that... uh... oh yeah. Pillars of... wait, is that AAA? I guess it is. Pillars of Eternity! A month or so ago.

As sad as it sounds I think Assassins creed was the last one I played that would be "original". The first one... Yeaahhh I don't really play much AAA games...
Does the Fantasy Life count? I'm actually so out of touch with AAA gaming these days I have no idea what it actually takes to qualify as a AAA game.
If that doesn't count then I absolutely cannot remember, as the only for sure AAA games I've played this year have all been sequels (MGSV: The Phantom Pain), spin-offs (Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon), or remakes (Chrono Trigger for DS, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1). Most of my free time goes towards Indie games nowadays.

Dragon Age:Origins. Before that, Borderlands. Before that, Mass Effect. All originals at the time they were released, of course, but have spawned franchises.
To find the last game I played that is not part of a larger universe... The Last of Us. But, I didn't even finish it. Before that, I think it would be Alpha Protocol. Which wasn't nearly good enough to deserve a sequel, anyway.
Man, for all the complaining people make about sequels and reboots and spinoffs, I really think that most of our best entertainment comes in multiple installments.
