Read the whole text of the Eurogamer review.
I'm disappointed, and won't be picking it up until it is at a bargain price.
To think this looked so fresh and exciting at its reveal, and has ended up sounding about as by-the-book as you could make a new open-world IP. I don't give two shits about the resolution or supposed 'downgrades', it's just the idea that this ended up being so formulaic and it sounds as repetitive and drawn-out as any AC title.
Will look forward to reading the Edge review on the off chance that they, as the only other site I really trust, have a different opinion. They seem to have very similar standards though.

it went up 13 minutes ago.
We didn't have time to finish our review, but our videos are up. Nothing less than 34 videos, 12 from the PS4 version, 22 from the PC

The best vids as always
Sometimes it's better not to post.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or somebody being horribly un self aware.

The game didn't bomb it's review scores like so many people wanted. Went from on the fence to definitely picking it up tomorrow. Watching Sterling's review got me pretty hyped. Lots of good content!
Lol, I thought that award belonged to a certain someone at polygon.
Why because he likes different games to you?. So childish.

I wouldn't say worst, he is a great writer and he makes solid points whether I agree with him or not.
But when it comes to the scores under the text, ya, he is fickle as fuck.

You should have put a score at the end of your review
That's part of why it's been so bizarre to see people posting that we'll be eating crow because a couple of backwater, no-name sites gave the game a 9.5/10 or whatever, pre-embargo lift. LOL
I wouldnt go near an Edge review of a Ubisoft game after reading their awful review of Child of Light.
sorry, did you already master a game that just came out 2 hours ago?

Forgot to state the US store, I'm not paying the UK price!
Edit: Got it now on the console, was looking at Xbox.com and it still wasn't giving me the option to buy.

Polygon had one up the other day. I would assume Blim has some on his site.
This part in Sterling's review really surprised me
Steelport in Saints Row sucks so I can see that, but over Los Santos in GTA V? Or even Hong Kong in Sleeping Dogs? Not really in a position to disagree until I get my copy tomorrow, but I didn't see that at all from the streams I've seen. Seems like a well realized city, just nothing spectacular.

Haha, it's out in the US store too!

Meh dude, Jim´s cool. Nothing wrong with the scores u listed (WD i cant tell of course).

Awwwwww
It's something you really have to experience yourself. Just walking around is soo nice. I completely agree with Jim.
It doesn't sound like this is going to scratch any sort of narrative itch. That's in every review it seems.

Sleeping Dogs remains my gold standard, even after reviewing Watch Dogs.

Since I have yet to play GTAV on my PC, I am looking forward to buying WD just for the sheer open world experience. Can't wait to get it in stores tomorrow.

Skyrim a 10game really? Lol
no. people don't seem to take game scores for what they mean - they tried to apply school grading to them. 90 = A, 80 = B, etc. Which would mean anything below a 60% is an F. But what it really means is 5 = amazing. 2.5 = average. 1 = shit.

What does CoL have to do with an open-world game?
They also gave a 9 to AC IV, which I actually enjoyed more than any other game in the series apart from II. I think Far Cry 3 also got a decent score. Plus they loved the Rayman titles which are at least technically similar to CoL.
It's 14 now. So I say again, SHEIT
Dat user score tho.

Yeah, cant wait for SD 2. The feel was way better than GTA V, although GTA was a masterpiece in execution. The story was a letdown for me though.

Jeuxvideo.com: 18/20
I didn't even like the environment of Sleeping Dogs all that much, but it seems better than WD's Chicago.
But again, don't have my copy yet. Just a little surprised.

Sounds like confirmation bias. Why not take into account other people's reviews as well?

does he not back up his opinions and write in an unprossional manner?
no? then what are you referring to? it couldn't possibly be his personal taste, could it? because if a reviewer simply aims to match the consensus then what good are they?
