Official Thread Crackdown 3

You should make a distinction between the Forza games. Horizon is quality AAA gameing, but Motorsport is getting worse and worse. Apart from that I agree with you on their track record, this being worse gen by far, and 2019 lacking anything of interest.
They didn't own this studio, this game was developed by three or so outside studios at different times.
This is a new low on the web. CRACKDOWN 3 is not a below 60 score.
At least a high 70s.
Microsoft, just remember the people who review the games and next gen and stick it to them by putting them on the black list.
This is by far the highest level of bias I have ever seen to date.
It is almost like a plague.

Blaclk list? Lol. Cause that wouldn't be bias at all.
You all acting like all MS games review badly, they don't.
This game is easily a 7.5 or 8 to me. If you notice its not being judged so much for the game itself. It's being judged against other open world games which is fuking bizarre. I really hope Microsoft continues to support this game and make a Crackdown 4. Dont let a toxic place like the gaming community talk them out of what is practically GTA with super cops. There's nothing else out there like it.
Gaming communities are the ones who support your games.. It's very important what they say these days.
Why is it bizarre to compare it to other open world games?
Forza Horizon 4 is got to be in the top 10 maybe even top 5 review score wise.
Spiderman wasnt compared to RDR2. Horizon wasnt compared to Witcher 3. These games stood on their own merit with reviews. I don think I can recall one time where a game was judged so directly with other games and scored by it.
From what I read seems most reviewers are looking at this game for what it isn’t instead of enjoying the game for what it is.
I set it to download this morning before work will try it out sometime this weekend.

Go in expecting it to be the answer to every Sony exclusive yet to be released in 2020 or the replacement of Halo. Have fun.
That gif is disgusting.Third boss in, and enjoying it.
BUT
It has given me motion sickness this morning while I was playing
People are reviewing it based on 2015 E3 hype that everyone knew long ago that we were never going go get. Everyone knew this but now suddenly "forgot" in order to stir up the drama.
What about the Xbox/MS sites that gave it low reviews? They secret Xbox haters too?
No facts allowed. Nothing can get in the way of the persecution complex.
What you don't understand is Forza Horizon 4 actually deserved 12/10 and the fact that it only got 9s proves the bias.
Right..gaming journalist that barely or don't play the games they review is a reality but bias..phhfhfh that's a ridiculous prospect.
The idea that gaming journalists can be bad is believable. The idea that they are universally giving Xbox games bad scores because they are Xbox games isn't.
What is the explanation for giving Crackdown a bad score just to stick it to Xbox and then giving another Xbox game a great score?
I'll chime in here: I'm sure there are some legitimately disappointed reviewers out there who expected more from Crackdown 3. But you gotta admit, there's an absolute ASS LOAD of "how bad Crackdown 3 is" articles and blogs out there in just the last couple of days. Bad games get released all the time but, none (not in recent memory) have had this much exposure to this degree in such a short time frame. It's nuts!
On Era, the review thread is some 50+ pages in and counting. 50+ fuking pages of people just lynching this title.
The DF breakdown thread has about 3 (?) The O.T. has 4-5.
If this game was on PS4, I believe it would have scored the same as it has now. In fact, it might have scored worse, as PS games tend to get more critic reviews.
This is my opinion based on my game time so far:
Pros:
- Feels like Crackdown 1
- Audio/Sound Effects are really good
- Very vibrant compared to Crackdown 1
- Fast loading times
- Very easy to pick up and play
- Has an arcade feel to it, makes me think back to the 80s and 90s
- Unique art style
- Obtaining upgraded agility never gets old
- Enjoyable art style, but dated graphics
- Can't really tell that it is 4K
- Story telling drawings are not drawing me in
- No static orb tracker
- Literally does nothing new
- Feels empty most of the time (not sure if it is because I am early in)
It is clear (as far as campaign goes) that this was designed to be an AA game, not an AAA game. I feel like it probably should have been at $39.99 game, but I haven't played Wrecking Zone yet (other than the technical test).
If the game remain consistent to what I have played so far, it will be a solid 7 for me.
Well this thread has too many posts in it too but I don't see how that is proof that it got bad scores because its on Xbox
All you are telling me is that people are paying close attention to a game that has had a long development on a system that has first party problems.
which means the current 6 everybody is crying about isn't as unfair as some are making out.
I played like 2 hours and from that time it is easy to see the consistent negatives from reviewers for this game. It does feel outdated and is already very repetitive.
