GRAW 2: Makes Xbox 360 go to the Red Light District - Problem Admitted

Ubisoft community manager has confirmed that GR: AW 2 developers are aware of a reported issue with their game and are urging gamers to come forward and let them know more about the problem. A large number of owners are reporting that the game freezes and then can cause the dreaded 3 red light syndrome.

say what?
Wait someone please explain this to me

Ps3604206237d ago

Look forward to the final release on the Ps3 in June :)

TheMART6237d ago

I have no freakin' idea

I play GRAW 2 a lot, no problems ever. No freeze, no nothing
All of my friends neither have problems. So I am curious what it's about

ASSASSYN 36o6237d ago

I agree I never had one lock up or problem nor heard of any from friends. BS flag raised on this one.

weekapaugh6237d ago

red lights and the 360 are synonymous

Now games are bricking systems?

I've got to say this hasn't happened to me but I only played it for about a week. I haven't touched my Xbox since I got my PS3. I'll go back and finish it but now I'm scared another Xbox might die on me. If I have to take another one back to EB they might think I'm killing them on purpose.

Whats the story Ubisoft? I'm not turning this game on again til I find out.

And I dont know how anyone can call BS when Ubisoft admit the problem. I know you're pasionate about the only system you play but c'mon.

Xbox reminds me of a line from the movie Broken Arrow.

I dont know whats scarrier. The fact Xbox's break down so often or the fact they have a "broken down" light built into it.

The guy a few posts below me is right. Its a good reason to get multiplatform games on PS3 for fear of being left with a box load of games and no console to play them on. Dont bother telling me how much better the XB versions are. Some are better, some are worse, ALL are very similar to the point where the differences have no bearing on gameplay anyway. You play what you got.

And speaking as an Australian most the PS3 versions I've seen are cheaper anyway. THP8 $68 on PS3, $119 on Xbox. You tell me which ones worth it. Not all games are this cheap of course but I've seen a few for under $AU100 for PS3 including all 1st party titles while most on XB are $119 with the odd exception.

kingboy6237d ago

what`s up with this red light sh*t on the 360 crapping out every now and then?

The BS Police6237d ago

Let me just say that Ubisoft is at fault this time, not Microsoft.

BenzMoney6237d ago (Edited 6237d ago )

This is quite true. I own Graw2 and EVERY single time I play the game, it locks up on me (the first time I play it in a day). After it locks up the first time, if I shut off my box and turn it back on, then restart the game, I can play without it freezing. Apparently a LOT of people are having this problem. It is Ubisoft's fault because people are reporting that this is the only game in their library that is causing freezing issues. For some people it's so bad that they can't even play through more than 15 minutes without a freeze!

I *would* approve this story but I'm not a "contributor" so I can't. But I urge you that are to approve it. The more information Ubisoft gets from people who are having problems, the more likely they are to confirm what's causing it and issue a fix.

Keyser6236d ago

I had Need for Speed: Most Wanted freeze up on my 360 last night. It's the first time the system has ever frozen and i got it at launch. I was scared I would get the red light of death so I rearranged my entertainment center. Can't take the risk. I'm going to go find a small, portable fan from Walmart to keep air circulating past all my electronics down there.

Have there been any reviews for this game?

Akira20201666d ago

Wait till you guys see all the Pay To Win micro-transactions that are in this game!! Yes, everything from buying weapons (NOT just skins), to attachments, to skill unlocks, to "time savers", etc....and this is just naming a few. Check out the videos online for Breakpoint's Store!

I was so jacked for this game, but now it's a pass just like this year's COD.
I'm predicting that these greedy companies will soon be the death of video games as we know it.

Pretty sure you can get this for 50 cents on g2a right now lol.

Free game is a free game though. Mostly busting balls; MS has been offering a fantastic amount of content, and asking little for it.

Parasidious1836d ago

I'm my opinion the AW series was the worst Ghost Recon. Probably why.

annoyedgamer1836d ago

Thats def an opinion. I loved GRAW 1 and 2.

snoopgg1835d ago

Graw 2 was pretty good. I think future soldier was the worst tom clancy game made.

Sophisticated_Chap1835d ago

GRAW2 was fantastic back in the day. I had it on PS3, and for it's time, the graphics were great and the single player campaign was excellent. The multi-player was excellent too, especially since you had clan tools, you could make custom servers with any map with loads of options, like, dawn/dusk/afternoon and evening light settings, custom camo for each team, turn Night Vision on/off for both teams, and a bunch of other small options. There were also a whole bunch of different verses modes to choose from.

The co-op for GRAW2 was great also, with what I remember to be a total of around 10 co-op modes, like a full co-op campaign, helicopter hunt, terrorist hunt, and a bunch of others. 2005-2012ish was when you actually received great value for money. They don't make games packed with content like this anymore, and if they do, you either need to purchase a seasons pass for an extra $60.00, or you can buy each item separately, costing you an arm and a leg.

Back on PS2 Ghost Recon was also ahead of its time, with Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm, offering two (2) separate and full single player campaigns (one was from Island Thunder, and the other took place in Cuba, and was exclusive to the PS2), voice commands to your A.I. teammates in single player (Socom was also doing this at the time), a full multi-player suite with really well designed maps, and 4 player online co-op. This was one of my all time favorites on PS2.

KillBill1835d ago

Only real good GW was the original. everything after I simply did not consider good myself.

I wouldn't trust G2A even if they were giving away free games and hardware.

MadLad1835d ago

I've used it. I know it's a shady site but, at the end of the day, I'm the consumer. The place usually offers me the best deals.

BLAKHOODe1835d ago

I had like 2 copies of this game and both jakked up when I tried loading it. So I've never played it. 3rd times a charm?

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for April 2019 any good?

Carlos writes: "So, April is here already and I’m betting that, much like myself, you’re sat there with a shameful backlog of games that you had hoped to have already cleared by this point. Well, just to confuse matters even more the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for April 2019 are here, and that can only mean one thing - more games for you, for free, to either add to your backlog or to jump right on into straight away. First though, let’s take a look at the Xbox games on offer to see just which ones are worth your time and which you’d be best off leaving for a rainy day."

Not a very exciting month honestly

optimus1850d ago

it is for the people that never played those games but have always wanted to.

XbladeTeddy1849d ago

Not bad for me. Going to play Ghost Recon 2 for the memories and interested in checking out Outcast, never played or heard of it before.

franwex1850d ago

Technomancer is ok if you like the genre, I’ve never even heard of outcast. Battlefront 2 and ghost recon 2 were good for their time-but could be fun if you’re in the mood for them.

It’s a meh month.

spicelicka1850d ago

The XB1 games not so much, but Battlefront 2 is awesome! They said somewhere that it might be playable online. I doubt that's true but if it is then that's a big deal considering how beloved BF2 multiplayer is.

anonymousfan1850d ago

I have zero interest in either these or the free PS plus games this month

RosweeSon1850d ago

Yeah ps+ is no better this month. Roll on May Haha

anonymousfan1849d ago (Edited 1849d ago )

Seriously lately the free games on the epic store have been better than the PS or Xbox offerings meanwhile the epic store is genuinely free!
