Watch Dogs legion is too hot for Xbox. It overheats

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-10-28-watch-dogs-legions-has-a-game-breaking-bug-on-xbox-one-x

Our reviewer reported the game freezes at a certain point and the Xbox console warns it is about to shut down, as it's designed to, because of overheating - which it duly does. It's an issue we've anecdotally heard has happened to multiple reviewers of the game on Xbox One X - Ubisoft's recommended platform for reviewers.

The animation is way worse than the content...

Yes, but the content is also pretty bad, too.

[Nintex]

Seems to land somewhere between 6/10 or 8/10 on average in reviews.
Surprised to see the recruitment mechanic doesn't add much to the game. That's the only thing that interested me.

[mormapope]

Sounds pretty good honestly, I'm more worried about it melting my Xbox than gameplay concerns tho. 

[Bebpo]

Yeah, reviews aren't greaaaat.

Watchdogs 2 was so good though, and I just checked metacritic and most of these same places gave it the same review score (usually 8/10), plus I like London. So will still play it.

PC version will probably run/look a lot better with DLSS (60fps), but PS5/XSX versions probably more stable and less prone to crashing. Not sure what version I'll get. Probably PC for the DLSS, DLSS is just such a game changer it'll be hard to justify getting the PS5 version of any game that supports DLSS on PC.

Finally beat slay the spire witg all 4 characters. I think that’s probably a wrap for me on that one.

Really not a fan of the radio silence on Dying Light 2 in general and Halo Infinite's anything that isn't cosmetic MTX and promos.

I'd say definitely a sign of trouble at 343i, but what gives Techland?

Far Cry 6 delayed (not a piece of proper gameplay footage from Ubi lol) and also R6 Quarantine to whenever next year. With the fiasco facing Bloodlines 2, I understand the next-gen plus pandemic impacts, but these unspecified launches with little to show/talk about in the meantime don't give me much confidence.

[Raist]

There there, some Halo news.

"I believe in the team and am confident they will deliver a great game and now is a good time for me to step away," Lee said.

5900X was sold out within seconds and I didn't get mine. The 5800X may get through but if I don't get a shipping notice tonight, I'll cancel that one until the 5900X comes back in stock.

These launches are such bullshit, you need to refresh 2 websites at the exact time to get one of the 30 items stock and then it crashes on checkout.

Why do you need one right away

Why do you need one right away

I wanted to built a new rig over the weekend as I was in between work projects.
Not always able to pull my PC apart when I need it to WFH

Plus all the other parts I had my eyes on were in stock, which rarely happens in these SITUATION REGARDING COVID-19 times.

Heh

Just make sure you overpay by like 25/50 euro's, and you are guaranteed to get that shit back at the end of the year. Good way of saving money if you're terrible with money like me.

Based on recent reviews, the PS5 whispers as quite as Biden does in your ear.

At least it's expected to live longer than 2 years.

I don't understand the point of reviewing consoles. I looked at both the new system reviews and it's like "it's a system! It plays games! There will be games for 5-6 years! It works and doesn't burn your house down!"

They read more like previews to me, which is fine. I just think it's weird they're labeled as reviews with scores and stuff. I feel like you can't "review" a game hardware until the end of its lifespan since the quality of a system is the quality of the games it has.

Anyhow, just old man ranting stuff.

Yeah I saw those threads on reee and was just thing thinking wth is a console review? Was that a thing in the past? I mean the most interesting thing would be a check how reliable hardware is, but that's not even possible in that short time frame and with so few poeple with access.

I guess things like loudness and load time are nice to know but eh. Seems like both systems are reasonably well engineered.

[Nintex]

from what I'm seeing Sony has this launch in the bag overall

PS5 wins on:
- better BC performance of last gen games (this surprised me but PS5 holds a steady 60fps in last gen games more often than XSX does)
- more interesting new controller features (haptic feedback is seen as impressive in games where it is implemented well)
- better games (Miles Morales is a nice showpiece and the DF guys are saying that Demons Souls is the most impressive game released this year)
- although both systems are quiet, PS5 makes less noise than XSX
- Ray tracing available day 1 in RT enabled games, while on XSX it will be 'added later' for some titles like DMC5:SE

XSX wins on:
- quick resume (although the use of this is limited considering the load times are already fast)
- bigger BC library (runs all Xbox gens)
- In specific games better performance and higher resolutions but no big differences so far
- GamePass

It's early days, but Xbox faces an uphill battle again

[HardcoreRetro]

- better BC performance of last gen games (this surprised me but PS5 holds a steady 60fps in last gen games more often than XSX does)

How is that surprising? Run the xbox games at the PS4 Pro patch levels and they'd run at 60 too. The Hitman one is literally 1440p against a full 4K. That's twice the pixel count.

I wish they would run the PS5 at the full 4K so we could actually see the difference.

[Nuitangg]

Uphill battle 

[Positive Touch]

wait does ps5 drop the quick resume?

[MMaRsu]

Man this game looks like a boring fucking turd

Reminds me of Assassins Creed III

[Bebpo]

Origins was cool but the formula wasn't good enough to do 3 times.

Still might play this before Odyssey though because at least the setting of medieval England game map interests me.


But I really hope next AC (aka first true next-gen AC) is a soft reboot again.

[Bebpo]

Also I was checking Amazon and AC Valhalla is $10 off, so $49.99 launch day for PS5/XSX. That's pretty good all things considered (yeah it'll be $30 in less than a year on sale).

Oh and PC Benchmark came out and it's better optimized than Watchdogs Legion but is still pretty shitty and can't match PS5/XSX performance with a 3080. Ubisoft PC ports -_-

Will just get this on PS5 this time around.

[Pissy F Benny]

I’m probably gonna cave and buy that shit

[Bebpo]

It never had quick resume.

I think he means like PS4/Switch sleep mode. Which afaik is still in?

Just can't save state multiple games at a time like XSX.

[MMaRsu]

 suck my dick mmarsu

Do whatever you want but it looks pretty mediocre and filled with tasks that are combat combat go here stealth combat combat

I mean I played Origins and Odyssey up to a point, where I had my fill. I certainly wouldnt buy it for full price. 20 bucks for the ultimate edition, sure.

[Bebpo]

If I played Odyssey, no way would I play Valhalla.

Cookie-cutter AC is like once every 2 years popcorn entertainment.

eh, the difference would be it doesn't hold the framerate. there's no magic here. targeting native 4k is a waste of precious gpu time
