Watch Dogs: Legion |OT| Anarchy in the U.K.

[DirtyLarry]

Happy to report no more save issues on the XBox (at least not when I quit the game 4 different times while I played and checked it by firing it back up).
Still not sure how I feel about the game overall, I think I like it, but not super sure as I keep getting caught up in the little mini games.
Won a game of darts, almost won the soccer but that final stage, did a bare knuckle boxing thing, went hunting for a bunch of tech points. Actually typing that all out, yeah, having a bunch of fun playing so far. Only about 5 main missions in, so the actual game I am not sure, but the overall package, definitely having fun so far just fucking around. And that is a lot more than I can say trying to play Cyberpunk the past 2 days.
So think this will be the game I play for the foreseeable future. Told myself I am waiting for a bunch of patches before I try Cyberpunk again.

So if I were to buckle and finally pick this up on sale, what would be he preferred console platform now? Given the lighting issues on PS5, I take it Xbox would be better now that the save issues may be gone?

Edit: nm. Xbox version isn't on sale.Weird.

I can't remember how much it is on PSN but it's almost half off at CD Keys for the Xbox digital version https://www.cdkeys.com/watch-dogs-legion-xbox-one-uk

Both versions perform identically and have exactly the same graphics settings.

Thanks - I never even thought to check CD Keys. It's the UK version on sale. Do you happen to know if you can still just switch regions to redeem?

I'm EU, but only the UK version is cheapish, lol.

I'm still on the fence anyway, so I will do some research. Thanks!

 

[Am_I_Evil]

This fucking game lol...did the early mission where you help out a person in parliament...saved her to recruit later...just went to do that and now she's talking about how she used to be a "booster" and needs me to go steal a car back from her old boss 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

I could literally ride around on cargo drones all day and collect tech points with my maxed out spider bot all day.
I guess certain games are just for certain people, but I can definitively say Watch Dogs has been one of my favorite overall series.
I should add, I pay next to no mind to stories in games. To me ALL video game writing is awful. Sure this game is a tad worse, but still, it really is not that bad compared to the overall landscape (I only play action games, FPS's, and arcade racers, I am sure there is much better writing in RPG's but I do not play them, so yeah). I also am a sucker for hacking related shit.
So honestly, super happy with my purchase of the game thus far. Really a fun game so far, runs and looks great on the Series X, and apparently I started playing late enough to only lose about 90 minutes thanks to the save bug.

 

[TraderPoe]

I really only wanted to play this game for London, since we can't travel right now. I enjoyed messing around in the works for a bit

I really enjoyed the first game, story and all apart from Aiden 'Mr Personality' Pierce.

Loved the second one mechanically, especially messing in the reactive (you reading this CDPR?) open world.
Grew to like the annoying, trying-too-hard-to-have-personalities-this-time cast. Completely lost the plot by the end, but that didn't bother me.

This one sounds like all the parts I didn't like about the other two, with none of the good.


Still probably going to pick it up on sale later today!

 

[Chaserjoey]

Offtt, hit by the paste up glitch. 47/47 posters up and no trophy. Heard the fix was to start a fresh game and do them all again 🙃

 

[chandoog]

so .. playing as a team member with a cargo loader drone is practically like playing the game with a no-clip cheat .. I can just fly right upto things, hold Y, get the objective done and fly out in seconds even if the guards get alerted .. also makes getting all the tech points a literal breeze.

a little too OP but I ain't complaining.

 

[Riddler]

So is the lighting issue still going on with the PS5 version? Thinking of buying it for $30.

Yes. From what I recall, I don't notice anything odd. Maybe its happening and I'm not realizing it. Next time I play, I'll play close attention to it.

Drive around during day time. Notice how the lighting on all the buildings constantly dims and lightens.

 

[flyinj]

So I was able to finally get the flickering lighting to stop happening on the PS5. I didn't realize that the PS5 ran and HDR wrapper on SDR content, so even switching off HDR in game wouldn't fix the flickering. Disabling it on the system level got rid of it.

Then I played for an hour and for some reason none of my people would die if killed even though I have permadeath on and had passed the point in the story where it is enabled.

It turns out this is another bug. And it makes the game actually even easier than normal mode because when anyone dies you get a retry prompt, so no one can even get arrested or sent to the hospital.

So yeah. Back on the shelf again.

 

[Razilez]

So I have a question, I've bought the PS4 Gold Edition to play on my PS5 since there's a free upgrade (game was a lot cheaper than PS5 Gold Edition). Was wondering if the season pass will allow you to also play all the PS5 season pass content? Not just for the PS4 version. Thanks.

It would be insane if it didn't. Boot it up on your ps5 and scroll over to the store in-game. It should clearly the say whether you own the season pass or not, and considering its all probably tied to your ubisoft account, it will be

I'm hoping it should. Game hasn't actually arrived yet but will report back with my findings, just wanted to check ahead of time so I haven't made a colossal mistake lol. Thanks.

I enjoy the missions when I get to play as one of the agents in a style I choose.

I wish there were less forced drone obstacle courses. The controls are not great and the courses go on too long.

I really dislike how the people you see in your safehouse are always your first 6 agents, there's no variety seeing anyone else when I go there.

 

[Evolution of Metal]

Ubisoft fucking it up, once again. What do you do when you release the early-access product, it doesn't perform well, yet you still have to deliver a ton of promised features/content?

You delay updates, and slowly decrease expectation/promises to the point where it kind of meets halfway. The slow death, Division 2 or Breakpoint style.

 

[Coolluck]

Yeah I've been waiting for more details on MP too. Couldn't even sell my copy because nobody wants it.

 

[OneTime]

The Black Hole of Battersea (borough liberation mission) is not fun at all. The drone spotlight is too narrow, and there's no quick switch between operative and drone.

So, this just updated. Any indication of new content?

From looking through the notes, it seems like mostly bug fixes to prepare for Online's launch.

Haha I just read through the patch notes after this 18.35 GB update.

Read the Xbox Series X notes and I was like... ok.

And then reading the more comprehensive global patch notes, and I'm like WTF!

 

[flyinj]

It looks like the new patch finally fixed the HDR on the PS5.

Now there is a new bug.

It seems the game makes the left trigger have a constant light resistance while the right trigger has none.

It is incredibly annoying.

 

[Tohsaka]

I still haven't gotten around to playing this after having it since launch, I was hoping they'd add a 60FPS mode since Digital Foundry mentioned there being one in the config files. Maybe I'll finally play it soon if they get the bugs all ironed out.

Haven't played since November, but I figured I spent a hundred on it, might as well finish it. Not even bothering with permadeath or nonlethal options, though.

Is it going to be much different than 1+2 online?

Holy shit. I was wondering if they were just gonna scrap it. Was never able to sell it so I guess I'll try it with friends.

Yes.

They have already shown footage of it. The map will have random events of various objective types you can complete with people. Along with a few mission types and essentially a raid where they say communication is important. There will be a spiderbot arena with a few modes, and they will also be reintroducing the mode from the first, where you spawn into someone's world and try to hack them without getting caught.

The unofficial stuff from leaks and datamines show they will introduce some sort of pass that you will be building xp for to unlock more cosmetics so you have some reason to actually do all that stuff.

 

[Tiny Hawk]

Some sites are also dropping previews of the mode.

 

[nihilence]

I was a king at invading and defending in 1 and 2.

 

[Billfisto]

Playing through the Single-Player now, it's absolutely offensive just how clear it is that Sabine is Zero Day.

I actually went and looked at her Wikipedia article because I thought "there's no way, it has to be a fake-out for the real identity or something", but nope. The one person who survived the raid at the beginning of the game, always teleconferences in from a remote location, and also wears a hoodie is the big baddie.

Just shockingly bad writing.

 

[Syriel]

Easily my favorite time with multiplayer — and I can't wait to give it another go — is Tactical Ops, a series of five missions that follow a loose storyline. They're designed to be challenging and require coordinated teamwork. If you're a group running around at random, you're not going to get very far here.

For example, the first mission required us to split up into pairs and attack two separate locations at the same time. Voice communication was an absolute must because we had to worry about the guards at our chosen locations, and we had to initiate our hacks within seconds of each other.

Click to shrink...

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I first jumped into Watch Dogs: Legion's online mode. While there's no global invasion system and the free roam is limited to four players, the tactical ops missions seem finely crafted. If you can find a solid group of players to team up with, there is a good time to be had.

The big question is longevity. Right now, there are only five missions in tactical ops and a single playlist in co-op. During the preview, I didn't see anything like leaderboards to encourage replays, and there's no definite promise of more content. If this ends up being all there is, it might be something that gets played and dropped as folks move on to newer things.

Still no invasions? I've been holding off on this game until those are added since I know I won't go back just for that if I complete the game beforehand.

Hopefully when they impliment it here, they make DCing an auto-forfeit. it was silly how people did that as soon as they were detected. You still get ponts for a partial hack and escape!
