Delay, downgraded graphics, false advertising, and worst of all, 5 collectors editions with none of them including everything

That seems to be the biggest reason I have seen. The Delay killed hype, but the graphics caused the hate. Given I don't blame them for downgrading the game. Maybe next generation they can get their wish.

This is your answer to your question of why people HATE Watchdogs right now.

But almost every publisher is guilty of this kind of crap to the point where you can't trust any "footage" you see at E3.

Ok, so in the game's current state, what was the 6 month delay for then?  To release the game together for the 8th gen consoles?  If Ubisoft needed more time for the 8th gen consoles, that's fine.  A 6 month delay to help finish/polish the game (8th gen) would have been appreciated.  But when they release the game and the game is buggy/has bugs and looks like crap, people who waited patiently for the game is gonna be upset.

GTA released last year, we all know that.  GTA also released on 7th gen hardware.  Again, we all know this.  So, if a game that's also being released 7th gen hardware, in the same genre (open world) shouldn't the game at the very least look BETTER if it were DELAYED 6 more months after its supposedly Nov release date.  Yes, a game will ALWAYS have bugs.  There's no denying that. 

Then again, what was this delay for when the game that EVERYONE was talking about and anticipating for?
