I will keep my eye on it for sure.
If it rates bad I will skip it unless I can somehow try it for myself.

What about the Xbox fans that are negative about Crackdown 3? Do you have a blind spot for them?
I've been refraining from this argument because I don't know where to start. Both sides are taking extreme points of view.
1. The "nothing to play" rheteroic exposes people having an agenda. It's absolutely ridiculous and is why most of the gaming media has thrown their credibility in garbage this gen as they fight hard for their favorite piece of plastic. There has never been more to play in any generation ever.
Indies are becoming legit AA developers taking chances on new ideas and growing into bigger, more capable companies with every release. There hasn't been this low a barrier to entry in well over a decade where small companies can strike it rich and become big players. There hasn't been this many developers making AA and above games in many years.
AAA 3rd party developers now regularly make games that only 1st party developers used to make. They now push consoles as well or better than any 1st party studio. Shadow of War, Battlefront 2, COD and Assasins Creed will push the Xbox and PlayStation as far as any 1st party developer will.
On average, games are bigger and have more content than ever. This is why gamers who like both single and multiplayer games have insane backlogs. We buy really good games super cheap after they've been out 6 months because we didn't have time to play them at release...and then they sit there in our backlogs untouched waiting for the next gaming dry spell. I don't know any regular Xbox gamers who don't have big backlogs of games they've barely touched.
2. Microsoft's 1st party lacks a real identity and confidence from the general gamer. It's hyperbole to say they've done nothing this gen but it's hard to trust them when they don't follow through on promises or follow up on the good games they do release. They need to evolve their tent pole franchises and follow through on some of the good new games that could become great with sequels. Uncharted 1 wasn't amazing but Sony stuck with it. They stick with most of their franchises and grow the fanbases. I think the biggest difference between Microsoft first party and that of Sony and Nintendo is trust. Xbox gamers get the Lucy pulling the football treatment too often and many Xbox gamers left for PlayStation because they were tired of feeling like Charlie Brown.
3. Outside of 1st party exclusives, the Xbox team has done a fantastic job of fan service and policies. Game Pass, EA Access and Backwards Compatibility offer tons of value. Games with Gold is made much better due to BC. Their continued improvement of controllers and online features has made all 3rd party games play best on Xbox regardless of the resolution wars. They get very little credit for these decisions but when 80-90% of what everyone plays is 3rd party, it matters...a lot.

^Even when you talk bad about XB you are such a loyalist you hold back.
Sugar coated poison is what I call it.

Some people may want to talk it up but if you told me that was an early X1 port of a 360 game I'd believe it, it just doesn't look good for a current gen game let alone something to show off the One X. That doesn't mean it's a bad game, it could be a ton of fun but it's surely not a looker.
What's that supposed to mean? Their 1st party had been on decline for many years. Their policies and features have made their ecosystem great. Not holding back anything. Giving credit where it's due.
You guys need to be careful with these posts before you get declared members of the anti xbox Illuminati.
The quality of Xbox games have been on a strong decline hence the reason for the negative publicity.
Xbox never got this much negativity when XB OG was out...it was considered thee console for hardcore gamers and 360 didn't get it either its first few years.
1st/2nd party declined. The overall library has improved. OG Xbox was my primary system so I remember when GTA3, GTA Vice City, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and Devil May Cry were PlayStation exclusives.
There are no more AAA games that appeal to the West that don't show up on Xbox outside of stuff Sony publishes. Xbox Indie support is the best it's been as evidenced at E3...and many Indies are turning the corner in terms of production values and mainstream appeal.
Xbox gamers aren't hurting for games or good deals to load up on their backlog. I have never had a backlog get this out of control and I'm far more conservative in terms of Day 1 purchases.
I personally feel that Microsoft is rewriting the book on gaming in general, where Sony is keeping things more traditional. Microsoft seems to be broadening the landscape for gaming and the gaming community through services and elite hardware renovations. Sony is much more focused on doing things pretty much the same way they always have been. Singular minded, like we see with their stellar single player, story driven games.
Microsoft brings change - change is hard for many. Many gamers don't want things to change. They like the way gaming has worked. But in order for the industry to thrive and continue to bring forth compelling experiences, it has to grow and spread out. Microsoft still has traditional roots but they aren't afraid to shake s*** up or bring innovation to the table. As it stands, Microsoft is a threat. Anything that comes off as different is going to be hated and that's where Microsoft is. They are a threat because they cannot only afford to bring about change, they are determined to and smart enough to do it. We're beginning to see their vision and its massive. It involves all of gaming, everywhere. Whiney ass gamers don't dig on s*** like that but, IDGAF. I like that kind of s***. Fuk the world and do it anyway.

No way the X1 has more exclusives than the 360 and OG Xbox. For one, they're not really exclusive because they're on PC but let's say they are exclusive for the sake or argument. Still not even close in my book.
Real question, TD. I'm just curious; which personality is the dominant one and does she wear a dress?
