UPDATE: No lag. But got it refunded due to Xbox 360 version not having free roam. Still able to play too. Win win situation

Is anyone having problems with the game freezing for any reason?

I have the First Generation Slim 360. I want to get Watch Dogs so bad. But am scared that if I buy it, my Xbox will freeze and I won't be able to play it. And lose out on $60.

I occasionally freeze playing GTA V maybe once or twice out of a total of five-six hours of gaming straight.
That is the most I usually freeze. Other than FIFA 14 which I freeze almost every game I play but that has something to do with FIFA

Anyway, does anyone think my Xbox 360 can't handle Watch Dogs and I shouldn't buy it. Or should I be fine.

By the way, I want to buy off of Games On Demand.

Are you buying it on demand or the actual disc? If you buy it on demand and have the freezing problem, you can call Xbox support and they will refund it for you
(I had a similar problem before and they did that for me)

I will buy it through Xbox 360 Games On Demand. And well I got a refund on FIFA 14 already back around November, so I don't know if they will give me another refund. Which is why I am worried.

Yeah, I believe their terms are one refund per year per account. But, if you are having a technical problem with the game they will surely help you out. And you can just buy on a new/separate account and have them refund it on that one if needed. As long as the account you use was made on/only used on the same console as your main, the game will work for all accounts on that console. My Watch Dogs works for all accounts on my console after buying it on demand anyways

Good Idea I'd rather not do that though. I like things to be downloaded on my account, but good idea nonetheless lol.

I just still haven't gotten an answer from anyone specifying their opinion on the matter of if they think I am fine or not. But if I do get it, I will definitely let you know how it goes

Is the game worth the $60 if you beat it in 3 days? Does the game have replay value, or free roam value as to where after you beat it can it still be fun? Is the multiplayer in depth enough also to keep you playing like GTA V?

Just a couple other questions for you, thanks for the help by the way. So no freezing all day play. Off of disc or Games On Demand?

You'll be fine. Gta5 and Fifa have issues with there servers that make you freeze. I have the game on demand versions and I freeze every hour or so. As for watchdogs I've had no issues other than installing the disc
