CrossfireX review thread
- Thread starter Saucycarpdog
- Start date
heh yea... can't say this is surprising. Still, some mildly amused (and even a few quite positive ones) takes on the Remedy campaigns in the other thread (I think people said Spectre was the better one, which is probably not the GP one, but also who the hell knows at this point.) I will play it and try it out, I think lol.
This doesn't come as a surprise.
The beta gave a good flavor of what the game was and that it wasn't anything special.
The total radio silence from both Xbox and the publisher before release.
The weird "error" that has prevented the campaign being free on gamepass - I wonder if someone fucked up the deal/ they changed their mind

The game is straight up trash. I can't believe MS paid for timed exclusivity for this.
Remedy needs to stop playing and make Control 2.

Remedy usually are quality but this looks like something made quickly in the same vein as Platinumgames licensed titles. Probably needed the funds a while back.
Each campaign is around 1 hour and 30 mins. Even if the campaign is good (is not), that's laughable and it further reflects with the scores.
Crossfire (without an X after it) is the Counter-Strike clone from 2007 that is played by a billion people. This is a different and shitty game.
The original Crossfire is also quite shitty but it is played in Asian markets that can't afford high end PCs and was heavily marketed to them. It was a F2P game during a time when F2P was still an uncommon business model in the west.
Good to know because I wasn't prepared for what I played yesterday.
As someone who's not that into the standard military shooter genre, I'm honestly a little confused as to why they are singling this game out for feeling aggressively bland, yet that doesn't seem to be a criticism against COD or Battlefield. They are all aggressively bland (though COD Black Ops Cold War at least mixed it up a little).
Having said that, these scores are totally fair for the MP, but seem pretty harsh for the Campaign. The two levels of the Campaign I've played so far felt legitimately quite good, and well worth the $12.
In reality, I could see the different parts being reviewed like this:
MP - 3/10
Spectre Campaign - 7/10
I don't know why but I refuse to give on the MP, as I was really looking forward to it.
I forced myself to play the de_dust 2 clone map for an hour or so and I guess it's sort of like CS on consoles, if you squint.
Don't think it looks half-bad, to be honest, but then CS:GO isn't really a looker either, anymore.
I do hope they add more maps, and more importantly, a private match option, as I wouldn't mind trying this on our annual Xbox LAN.

I tried it again last night, I can't get past the aiming. I've lowered everything, there's just no way to make minor aiming adjustments as the acceleration kills it. It's still unplayable to me lol
Yeah I know what you mean, it's just so off and different to anything I'm used to on console.
Oh well, considering the reception it'll probably just be abandoned and never fixed :(
Apparently they are working on an update for early March that will address aiming and other issues. We will see though.
This game is so janky. I have no idea why I keep getting out of ADS when I burst fire. The lag is also unbearable and the grenade throwing is so slow and kills the pacing of fights. The aiming is awful where it somehow feels so slow to aim and way too fast at the same time.
This game feels like it started off as a light gun shooter then somehow made it way to be an fps

Both gameplay styles play like C-grade versions of CoD and Counter Strike respectively. It's one of those F2P shooters that's more concerned with selling you stuff than providing a compelling gameplay experience. Not to mention all the weird bugs.
I still want to play the campaigns but I'm not expecting anything amazing, although they seem decent enough.

Sadly, MC will include it as XGS. I'm contemplating reaching out to correct. They don't deserve this splotch on their record when they wisely dropped it.
Campaign is pretty ok though.
Yep, hopefully they can get back on track with their next project.

Sounds about right. People on Reddit defending the MP by saying "get good". Yawn...
0% of critics recommend... š¤£
I played the campaign 30 minutes or so.
It's... fine. If you're really bored. Don't think I'll return to it though.

CrossfireX Review
CrossfireX is a baffling first-person shooter that fails on every level, even if all you're looking for is a good time playing something bad.

I really hope the update in March fixes a lot of issues that are going on with the game. Or I do not have much hope for the games future which is disappointing since Crossfire is one of the biggest games in Asia.
I really love Remedy and I was pretty skeptical about them taking this project on to begin with but it's kind of sad to see it being eviscerated.
I saw some extended clips of the dialogue and voice acting, it seems to have that remedy staple of being slightly odd, but the voice acting makes everything so much worse. May be a Covid limitation or some thing, but it sounds like all of the dialogue was recorded by people who we're not in a studio. The story just seems really needlessly obtuse and also barely there at the same time which is some thing that I feel like I haven't seen in a FPS since the PS360 gen
No doubt they'll learn a lot and continue on successfully from this project but it seems like FPS games may not be in their wheelhouse.
