Watch Dogs and Alien: Colonial Marines would like to have a word with you.
I missed the Alien: Colonial Marines fiasco as I was never interested in the game, but judging by what people say about it I'll take your word for it - whenever lawsuits are involved you know there was an epic bait and switch. Less of a legit downgrade and more of a 'fraudgrade'. I still think DSII is a bigger drop than Watch Dogs, though. Watch Dogs still looked alright. Dark Souls II was distractingly ugly, almost all the time.
There were mods available that improved the lighting a lot, torches weren't critical still but at least they created some atmosphere when you walked around with them.
Yeah, but I was on console
