I don’t know, probably because they fixed problems with and improved on the game mechanics based on player criticisms? I can understand being disappointed with the game, granted I wasn’t disappointed with it since I had no expectations of any kind, but the game itself is still fun to play even if it wasn’t as good as it was hyped to be. There’s still plenty of fun to it. Are gamers THAT ungrateful that they can’t enjoy a game that’s still fun to play even if it didn’t live up to hype without bitching about it?

I don’t get why so many people are bitching, whining, and moaning about this game.

I appreciate your train of thought and I do love DF too, but there are quite a few very good games besides the ones that are kept so minimalistic that there is barely anything to fuck up as a dev.

Ha! This is gold =]  
Aside from todays gamers, who apparently are not that interested in good games anymore, while at the same time buying them on heavy discounts in order to never touch them, I still fail to see how Ubisoft managed to NOT make Rayman Legends or Origins for that matter a really popular title. According to the online leaderboards, there are only 86.000 players in the world, most of them haven’t really played though.  
And those two are some seriously good titles!

Yeah I remember that demo. And aside from the graphics, nothing about it really says next-gen only.
 
And as uninspired as Watch_Dogs is now, it still beats GTA V in longevity.

As someone who has played it, I concur. Judged as a 7th-gen game, I’d say it’s a solid, if somewhat derivative start to a potentially interesting franchise

Did you see the very first announcement “gameplay”? The overall impression that demo gave you - let alone the graphics - seemed to be taken from a game a few years ahead of where we currently are or something…  
I think what he meant was that “current-gen” is defined by the lack of good ideas, creativity and good execution of the few things new games actually make “new”, and that Ubisoft - just as almost any other big publisher - fucked up in proving this wrong. But I am still not quite sure if todays developers are just this uninspired and unconvinced by their own game or if the admins and the people who stand above the actual development and have little to no involvement with the final product just do their very best to keep every good idea down as much as possible.  
Because in the end, Watch_Dogs is just another half-assed, uninspiring approach to a genre that could offer so much more to the consumers and yet another game that is just perfect to prove how heartless companies rip their clients off.
 
This is at least how I see it.

I’m sorry but I’m having trouble figuring out if he was being serious about being under the presumption that Watch Dogs was a candidate for a “Next-Gen defining” game. Even during it’s early development phase, nothing about it really screamed next-gen.
