Was going to.

Then, to see if it was my taste, I put in a few hours with the PS4 version at my cousin's place last week.

After that, I decided I wasn't getting it no matter how good the port was.

WOW IM REALLY SURPRISED! Who in their right mind would have thought when you release a bad game six months after its original release on a console where no cares about shitty games like Watchdogs that it would not sell WOW who would have seen this coming? Hint: Everyone

By the way Smash Wii U = GOTY

well there it goes the last chance for more third parties games.

An unwinnable test, of course. Why buy late, full-price games that give you nothing extra to sweeten the pot? Doing so would only convince third parties that it's okay to keep treating Nintendo consumers like something they just scraped off of their shoe.


This woudn't have sold well if it released day and date with the other versions, there are enough other games that prove this.


like Mass Effect 3, or Fifa 2013, or maybe NBA 2K13... We can say something about Batman Arkhan Origins or AC IV in some way, but still only late ports or crap ports does not prove so much.

Was it really that underwhelming?

Could you find a more biased source please?

Sure, I found one for you.

 

@OT, Reminder that this is specifically about UK sales. (Maybe OP should mention that in the title or something.)

The hacking pretty much boils down to "press Y to do whatever", and while the shooting and driving is competent enough, escaping/evading the cops is incredibly annoying, and you can only avoid the less enjoyable mission types for so long, as eventually the game forces you to do them to progress the story. By the time I got to part where I had to slowly sneak a car for blocks while turning it off and praying every time a cop came close, I decided the tedioum wasn't worth it.
