Yup. And the solid 60 fps highlights just how souless it is. It worked on 360, but considering this is the same _again_ (CD2 was a lazy sequel) it confirms this game should have been a one-off. There is nothing more of value that can be added to this 'franchise'. Please let it be a good 2007 memory, Microsoft.

Pretty big shame that the fully destructable buildings didn't get into singleplayer. I remember that 2014 E3 trailer and how badass it looked showing how the destruction could have been.

Never trust an e3 trailer, ever. It's like a car show where they will show you a prototype of a car looking like something out of FF universe. Then it comes out in production looking like something Walter White picks up meth in.

God. I'm a PlayStation fan but I hate seeing Xbox fail like this. Everytime I hear of an Xbox exclusive coming out. I think: ok could this finally be the game to convince me to buy an Xbox. Then I find out that this "exclusive" was also released and PC. But even if it wasn't. The exclusive games the Xbox one offers are just meh. This is bothering me. Because despite me never owing an Xbox before. And only sticking with PlayStation. I had tons of friends who owned only Xbox. And we would play games like Halo together and when I went to my uncle's house I would play Minecraft (before it came out on PlayStation and before I got a computer). I was actually considering to buy an Xbox to try halo but it's on PC. Or sea of thieves I was hyped for sea of thieves. And actually was saving up for an Xbox just for sea of thieves. I thought it was gonna be an elder scrolls type of game. Unfortunately, after the game finally released and I saw this reviews....

Arstellum well, it wasn’t developed by the same company but both games were being published and funded by Microsoft to be exclusives for the platform. Scalebound got canceled because of “engine issues and missing deadlines” I think Phil also said that there was a lot of hype and anticipation for it and they felt that they couldn’t meet those expectations. and then this just gets delayed 3/4 times...

[@knightlykin1499]

When I was a kid this game was a major influence for me to get into criminal justice. By the age of 18 I became a security officer and enjoyed it a lot. With our dispatch communications, CCTV camera room, and baby blue uniforms it felt very real. I actually made my first detainment of a criminal with warrants in that job. Now I’m a private investigator who plans to be the director of loss prevention to investigate organize retail crime, fraud, internal theft, and white collar crimes. Who says games aren’t a good influence? Haha this game motivated me through college. And on top of the fact my USMC uncle was proud. My family have always been military. And I’ve made a new twist to my family tradition by serving the public not as a Marine, but as a Director of loss prevention investigations to bring shoplifting ring leaders, corrupt executives and fraudsters to justice. Thanks Crackdown, this game will always be in my heart.

SageofSorrow a game can’t love you back, just saying bud. Metro Exodus is another long awaited game of mine yeah not as long as Crackdown 3 but it’s a game I’ve wanted to play, not everyone will enjoy it and that’s fine. The only other games I know of that will launch in March is The division 2 which is meh kinda looking forward to and sekiro shadows die twice is another meh game. It looks pretty good but it’s a new take for the developers that made the legendary Dark Souls franchise. I’ve got the Xbox game pass for $2 and that’s for 2 months. Crackdown 3 is one of the games that will be on it, I’m only spending $2 for a $60 game and unlike most KZbinrs I don’t have this super high bar where the game is supposed to the number one bought game. These days games usually hit the middle or a little pass that for all players, I’m just glad they are getting to release two long awaited games.

[@Redflowers9]

The thing I love about the game is the impression that each mission is as possible as you make it, for example, even if a mission gives you like a 23% chance of survival based on your current abilities, you can still attempt it and take it as slowly as you want and get a real kick out of the impression that you've achieved something 'you weren't supposed to', even if it appears tedious to some extent and 'not part of the game'. There's a wonderful rawness to it.

[@WilPearson97]

For the single player I'd like to see a new game + to go through everything over powered and help max out all our skills that aren't max out on our first play-through. For multiplayer the progression can be better. Have your agent levelling up through other modes is a great idea Wreaking zone and the other mode for shooting and explosion skills, maybe add in bonus objectives to boost levelling up. Racing modes for driving and agility skill. Maybe a horde mode to help all skills to level up. There's so much they can add in updates we just got to hope they listen to fans for feedback and ideas.

Crackdown Reignited Trilogy would be dope, just give me 1 & 2 on PC please, steam release would make me cum even harder as opposed to microsoft store and console which are both growing out of functionality as time moves on. They don't even use cross-play for all their microsoft store titles despite using the same servers, they literally are choosing not to use a feature for a lot of titles out of pure evil for no reason, fucking modders have found ways to manually add cross-play to multiple titles on the microsoft store but can't even release it without the risk of being legally raped due to microsoft's dystopian TOS.

@@sexymajesco It was originally the main selling point back when they showed the first footage of it. Also it has changed so much since then. There is a good rant video about it showing the comparisons of the before and after. Before you actually had to shoot a bunch to destroy anything, and each bullet did damage at the site of impact. You could shoot bullets into a wall, in the shape of a door, and the piece of debris would fall out in that shape. Now it has been changed to be multiplayer only, all the destruction is prerendered shapes (you can see outlines of these shapes when actually destroying things), debris does no contact damage, and it feels weightless (like destroying a box instead of an actual building)

Just Cause 2 is more fun than this game. If they could've done it similar with Crackdown 3, make really big open world with bunch of vehicles (not just ground vehicles) that'll take you month to get 100%, that'd be amazing. I remember when i played JC2 it took me month to get 100%. All the collectibles scattered around the big open world map and those challenges...
