Watch Dogs Legion

Any tips or guides for optimal settings, looking for best balance at 4k with a 3080. RTX looks like it could actually be worthwhile on this game, but assuming I'll need DLSS too?

Game looks great from what I can see in opening few minutes. :)

I've followed this for my 2070s definitely notice the performance gains with not much if any noticeable graphical difference to all ultra settings.

Made a wee video running on my 3950x and 3080, everything on full except no ray tracing 2 x reflections and textures one notch down, get 65-75fps around town, and 85 ish in buildings.

Looks really nice but the game is not particularly grabbing me so far.

Nice. Personally dislike this game loved

Loved watch dogs 1 it was gritty little rough around the edges but the story was OK. Side stuff was fun.

Watch dogs 2 was horrid hated the man character
Hated the whole social media aspect. Hated that everything was breaking the 4th wall like a bad dead pool movie

Watch dog legion
No story - don't care for it at all it's so far out their
Dont care for any character. They are all disposable even with perm death.

Side missions are not as fun as 1 or 2.
The whole npc mechanic means no good voice acting and terrible sync between look of a character and their voice. Had a white granny with a reggae accent... Or a politcan with cocky accent.

It breaks emmersion. Ubisoft are trying to hard to be "hip" with this series.

Be far better being a dark gritty series almost like a John wick/hitman vibe.


I'm bored of it already 8 hours in?.

Valhalla I'm really enjoying I think I'm 18 hours in?
Again story is meh but least its grounded I feel like a viking. I feel like Im part of the game invading countries.


Legion feels like I'm watching a bad b movie. Made by students

It lost me at the first interaction with a NPC, they were talking and their lips werent moving, shoddy.

Im about 8 hours in, getting a bit tired off it but ive enjoyed it more than other AC's recently.
 
upgraded from 16gb to 32gb ram and noticed a much higher minimum fps compared to before. Was struggling to hold 45fps ultra with ray tracing high on ultrawide 1440p but now i can keep a steady 55fps which is more than fine.

I noticed that watch dogs would eat up around 10-11gb system ram!
 
Enjoying it - yes it's a bit samey - hack the network, destroy the this, download the that. But you can vary the ways you do it to keep things fresh.

The various recruit skills seems to become irrelevant once you have a variety of tech. Once you have a characters who are:

Armed with a good auto weapon
Able to call a cargo drone
Have Albion uniform
Have access to a spider bot.

You are kind of all set. Mind you I have just finished the Mary Kelly thread, so I have no idea how much is left....

My feelings exactly. The second one felt like a PG-13 sequel with a better budget but lost it's gritty appeal the first gave. Mechanically it was superior but that was about it.

Agreed. I quite enjoy just driving around causing havoc although the first one had more roadblocks to raise.
Especially hacking motorbikes on bridges as they catapult the rider over the fence and into the Thames.


One of the voice-overs when you start "We don't use lethal force in DedSec"

Me: Selects hitman as playable character.
 
Finished the game. Enjoyed the game in all honesty. Was a nice 30 hours for me. I liked the story. Game seemed more focused than watch dogs 2. Wouldn't have guessed the ending. The feel of the game is great.

London was an excellent choice and I did really love the familiarity considering we are in lockdown right now. Interesting political tone too I suppose.

Was happy to find that one of the pubs I frequent in real life was playable in game. The inside of it looked the exact same as real life!!!! Had to have a pint there, of course.

And this is without question the best looking game in existence so far in 4k HDR with ultra ray tracing, dlss performance and max settings. Perhaps Cyberpunk will take the crown in a few weeks.
 
Interesting to hear what you think about the graphics.

London looks great. But the characters are terrible imo. Compare any of the WDL characters to AC odyssey Kassandra and they are a gulf apart.

Plus I was getting terrible pop-in-out of vehicles when on a cargo drive at height. Especially at night the headlights would be visible before the vehicle.

Enjoyed it, but it felt totally unpolished. God only knows what state it was in at the original release date in April!

Yeah they do look a bit cartooney to me suppose thats the trade off for having no main character. I was getting bad frame rate drops and pop ins on driving mostly until I adjusted my graphic settings seem fine now.
 
Got bored of this game 5-6 hours in, just not keeping me interested. Don't think I'll ever pick it up again. Everything seems the same. Story just not engaging like 1 and 2. Started Valhalla and really enjoying that.

Only thing going for it is it looks glorious in 4k with RTX on.
 
Does G-Sync work in this game?

I wasn't sure if it was working at all then I tried the G-Sync demo from Nvidia and it seemed to be working.

I'm running it on my LG BX 55" 120Hz 4k, RGB, FULL, 12 bit, but it seems a bit juddery in WDL?

Do you have the Gsync indicator switched on to tell you if it is activated?
 
I dont know when the new update was out but jeeez the difference in performance now is night and day! OR maybe its got something to do with the 9600k to 9900k upgrade?

Loaded it up today for the first time in over 2 weeks and there was a 2.5gb update. Loaded into game and had my old settings set with everything on ultra + raytracing on ultra and DLSS on Quality. Getting an amazing 75-89fps around london and 100+fps in buildings, so glad i waited for an update before continuing with the story. Can play it silky smooth now.

Noticed much better gpu utilisation too sitting around 98% now.
 
Haven't checked frame rate, might give it a go tonight, I'm not liking the game much apart from the graphics, but to be truthful it looks a bit dull, the odd bits are colourful, but I guess it is London what can we expect. I hate some of the accents too.

Yeah once you have played a few hours you have seen it all watch dogs games are rubbish compared to GTA.
