I'm making this thread just to rant for a bit, but I am curious what the general consensus is around here. Anyway...
Watch Dogs 2 recently added in fireworks that go off every night in the game, and this is supposed to last until the 10th of July...and I just can't take it anymore! The smaller fireworks that go off sound like someone is crinkling wrapping paper right next to my ears and the larger fireworks sound like someone is hitting the bass pedal on a drum set, also next to my ears.
It only affects the rear/side channels of my 5.1 setup, so it feels as though I have a constant dome of fireworks around me.
There's no consideration of distance, so the fireworks sound the same no matter where you are.
There are only a couple of samples, so the fireworks begin to sound identical almost right away.
Finally, the fireworks go off non-stop. It's not some kind of measured release of fireworks, it's thousands of the same fireworks, going off constantly for about 1/3rd of each in game day. It's a mixture of some of the most irritating sounds available, run on a near-constant loop, and there's no way to turn it off. I recently bought this game during the steam sale, but I can't play it while this is going on. I'm getting a headache and extremely irritated by this addition, and it's a damn shame because I am really liking the rest of this game. Only now I'm being told I have to wait until July 10th to be able to play it again.
What the hell Ubisoft?
