What does not make sense in my opinion? I told you why I did not like the stealth and RPG system, just because they put stealth in the game it does not immediatly mean that the stealth is good. It is better then the stealth from GTA V? Yes it is, but GTA V is not a game focused on stealth, it was there just to fill space for what the game is really about: exploration and narrative. Watch Dogs puts way more emphasis in the sneaking mechanic, so I was expecting more then what I got.

Bottom line, if you best argument against my criticism is "I liked and I thought it was good", then you might as well change your statement from "Watch Dogs is a good game" to "Watch Dogs is a game that I enjoyed playing", everybody is perfectly capable of liking something and still acknowledge his problems. If you think that the sneaking and hacking in that game are incredible, because... they are, then so be it, I'm not here to change your mind. But if you want my advice, don't translate "I enjoyed" to 9/10 or 10/10.

No, GTA V is not my favorite game of all time, I already told you that this game have many flaws, but for what I played, I though it was really good and a amazing graphic achievement in the previous gen of consoles. The reason that I compare Watch Dogs so much to GTA V, is because not just Ubisoft wanted Watch Dogs to compete with GTA V (you can see this in some of their marketing campaign), but also because both games have a very similar base gameplay (crime-drama in an open world environment with shooting and driving mechanics) and where released very close to each other, and both also had the exactly same mission: push the bondaries of open world games to a new level.

For my money, GTA V was the one that fulfilled that mission, with does not make Watch Dogs any less enjoyable, but for what Ubisoft promised and what I received, it just did not work for me. If it worked for you, fine, enjoy your game as much as you want. No hard fellings?
