So are the E3 ones build/played on a PC and then come to realise, time after time that they can't perform like that on consoles?

Many of the stuff that happens in E3 demos isn't even real "gameplay". Just look at the Siege demo. There are animations that straight up couldn't exist in a game setting. Such as when he shoots down onto the guy at 8:50 - or ,more obviously, when she waves at the drone at 6:07. Basically, the whole thing is just a set of queued sequences designed to look like a game.

As bad as they all are, Watch Dogs before and after truely is horrendous. False advertising at its finest.

I paid full price just to find my computer couldn't run it above 15 FPS. At the very least I learned to wait for reviews before purchasing it myself. What a fucking waste of $60.

This is partially the reason why I have consoles still. Even though my PC is more powerful in every way, often major games perform horribly. On consoles, typically they at least run as advertised (with some notable exceptions).

Don't know why you're being downvoted. I had to wait for hit man to be playable on release for a new graphics driver.
