Crackdown 3 Review Thread
- Thread starter Neat
- Start date
Not enough. Which is why they are fighting to get back on top. The narrative has always been that they are not delivering. And that's the way it will be until this generation is over. But hopefully not after.
M:CC is fantastic, what are you talking about?
H4/Gears is your opinion but doest take away from it being critically judged as good games with healthy active populations.
Sunset also delivered, again how does its market performance reflect on it being delivered as a quality title?
If Metro is an 80, I find it hard to see how Crackdown 3 would qualify as a 75.
On first sight there is a world of qualitative difference between these two games.
I agree that they need to improve, but to say MS has not delivered on the games front is incorrect, just because some people think they have not does not make it a fact.
Pretty sure people consider Halo 5 as having one of the worst campaigns and stories of the series, and that the advertising was very misleading compared to the end product.
Gears 4 did okay but was hardly a knockout, but it was the first effort from the new team so it was more than fine.
Quantum Break was very underwhelming though, commercially and critically, which is probably why Remedy haven't been contacted to make a follow-up.
Sunset bombed big time, Game Pass would've probably helped it had it existed back then.
The Halo MCC was a complete mess at launch, considered franchise damaging even, it took years to get it to where it should've been.
Sea of Thieves is getting better but it didn't do too hot review wise and it definitely felt lacking according to many when it launched, Game Pass is helping it's fortunes though.
Ori is the one bright spark in everything you mentioned, along with Forza.
I haven't played Halo 5 but sales don't mean a game is good. I'm sure it's a great game, I just wouldn't use that argument to say so. Otherwise you have to concede that every Grammy winning musician is amazing. :P
rough guess here... about 10-15ish hours? that's a full completion, not a partial completion (all sub-bosses)
also that's if you're very competent with the game and moving quite directly from target to target.
Yeah I'd be down for that. If it were $5 I would get it and play for a weekend.
Well sales figures, hours played and reviews are the only way to determine if a game is good.
It's better then just have no evidence, and I would argue that sales figures are a completely useless metric.
Have your opinion of the game, but because there's negative reviews out there for this game, you sum it up to being some non-existent Xbox bias. Maybe they don't like it as much as you, if you want people to respect your opinion, how about you respect theirs. Otherwise you just seem delusional and childish.
Matt Booty, not Phil.
But I think he meant to say "we want it to sit next to them in the Game Pass library."
12-15 hours. But it's like Breath of the Wild, very openly structured. You can start with the final boss if you'd like to.
Is there a Redbox by you? Might be worth it to try, even with tht game pass is extremely cheap nowadays.
I may do that!
I'm on PC! Yeah Game pass seems perfect for this.
Wow, I wasn't expecting critics to thrash the game this much. Like, it didn't look like anything noteworthy in the first place, but the game doesn't look especially bad or anything, just sort of mundane.
No, people just have different likes and dislikes, it's called life.
Because if they cancelled another game, it would put xbox further into questionable territory, investors and audience would become more suspicious. Would be worse PR cancelling, then releasing an imperfect game. IMO
For me, the new Metro is a high 80 so it still makes sense. Think the epic exclusive thing influenced the reviews a bit.
Really love the atmosphere in that game
At the end of the day Crackdown 3 was never going to deliver, a combination of development hell, broken tech promises (the power of the cloud), and fandom hype from the OG Crackdown meant this was always going to be a disaster in the making.
Saying that the DF analysis was very positive and I have no idea why some reviews are saying the game looks last gen graphically. It looks very clean and reminds me of the art style the Mirrors Edge games went for.
I think this is a sort of game people will play for a few days, have some fun with, get bored and move on. It's a shame, MS have been really struggling this gen with their 1st party offerings and this must be a big blow to them.
I would give up on this gen if I were them and just make sure next gen delivers.

This argument backfires if he likes games you rate highly.
Seriously bummed Sumo thought back in 2017 it was ready to ship. Writing was on the wall back then. Like they had no idea how bad the game felt and looked and were living in a different world to the rest of us.
it's not bad in any way.
yes. and the city is bigger. the enemies are actually memorable. boss fights are actually boss fights instead of just a beefier dude with gun. it gets much more hectic too.
The "there is no truth" response?
The mental gymnastics continue...
Halo Mcc might be OK now but was far from fantastic and for more than a year the online was borked. Ppl shitted on Drive Club which fixed their online issues in the span of 3 to 4 months but Halo Mcc was given a pass with more issues and an online tht didn't work for more than a year.
None of the games you mentioned are any thing close to the quality of Smash, Zelda, God of War, Uncharted 4, etc etc etc. It's not even close and the optics of this game's review score underpins just how much of a mess Xbox publishing is.
Well that sounds good to me. Thanks. Collecting orbs was addicting and fun.
Most people think they have not. The reviews show that they have not. The sales also show they have not.
I mean some people think the Transformer movies are the greatest achievement in human culture. If your argument is "well some people think MS have done great" then I might have to give you a gold medal in the mental gymnastic olympics that has been this thread.
Wait, when did they ever shows this as the Xbox One's representative? The cloud thing hasn't ever been shown at any E3.
