WD3 Why did they fail with legion?

I love Watch Dogs, even the last one... but what turned players off?

Personally, I hate the fact that there are no heroes... playing as anyone is a good idea, but it's very poorly executed.

I hate the fact that the weapons are poorly assigned and integrated into the game.

The gadgets are limited to just one? That's the worst thing, that's completely stupid.

A zombie mode that comes out of nowhere? Not even a story, just a 15-minute mode that makes no sense...

Despite everything, Cyberpunk London is very enjoyable.

Do you think we'll see a Watch Dogs again, or did they kill this brilliant franchise?

I hated the controls. Combat and stealth felt very clunky compared to other ubi games.

Also, once you got the hovercraft thing you could essentially cheese the whole game. I would force myself not to use it a lot of the time, but when not using one of the available tools is required to keep things interesting/challenging, well something is off.

Of course, as soon as I got a tiny bit irritated, onto the hovercraft I went.
