A couple of hours ago, Ubisoft released the highly anticipated PC update for Watch_Dogs.

After all, Ubisoft claimed that it has added a number of performance improvements in this

| that's what you get when you knowingly buy a console port. I know I did the same thing with Titanfall. |

To be fair though, Ubisoft never actually said this patch fixed the stuttering, they said they have found the cause and working on a patch for it but never said this patch fixed it, just performance improvements.
I didn't notice any difference at all after the patch, but then i haven't had any probs with the game yet. Must be one of the lucky ones  |

Seems like the usual from UBI.
At least it works for some.
I wonder when people will ditch UBI for good. |

it's hard to ditch them when they purchase almost everything worthwhile...It's easy to first get the game for free and see if it works tho... |

A class-action lawsuit perhaps?
Car makers would have been prosecuted already if they had so many problems with a product... |

yeeeaaa but it's kinda different. Cars can get people killed and lawsuit involves and revolves around negligence and it's a big thing in that case (lives at stake) while it would be hard to win that against software company/publisher (like suing ketchup company for making a bad tasting ketchup ). You would have to go for "with intent to mislead consumers", and making that case would be VERY hard, they would just make an endless loop out of it...
edit:
the only thing customers can do is read reviews, first impression, "pirate" the game and then decide. If it's crap - don't buy it. If enough people do this, sales will drop and that is the biggest punishment for the company, especially if you get their sales down by a lot. Remember their (ubisoft's) always online DRM and boycott that followed? That had effect did it not? Their sales were down just by 15-20% or something like that, I forgot... |

In a perfect world, Ubi could make the games and then someone like square enix could optimize them.
I quite like most of Ubi's games, they are usually quite long so you get good moneys worth and generally enjoyable throughout, its just the optimizing part they suck at. Although watch dogs works fine for me i know it could have been better had someone else tweaked it, same with black flag.
I say square enix because of games like the tomb raider reboot and sleeping dogs, they look great and run great.
At least they ditched that bullshit always online crap!! |
