[@oneandonlyJonnySad]

THANK YOU! Someone brought up the whole ‘Agency Twist’ from Crackdown One. That was never explained, followed up or anything.

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

They pulled the twist twice already. The franchise only has one "good guy" organization you can play as, and you can only do the same twist so many times before it becomes predictable.

[@James-vu7ef]

the twist is also a thing in crackdown 2 just only in the audio logs

[@barthslung]

I wanted to know about the terrorists and freaks from Crackdown 2 and how they are connected to the Agency

[@MrSandman9151]

I mean, it didn't get an entire cutscene like at the end of the first game, but the entire second game was getting at the agency being responsible for everything. The freaks were failed attempts at creating agents, the weapons implanted by the Agency were designed to subjugate the populace, and by the end the charismatic scientist who led the Cell captured a small part of an Agent for use in cloning some to combat the Agency. It's pretty cut and dry, honestly. This all out war against manufactured threats has always been about deploying increasingly radical tactics in an attempt to install a police state. And then the third game rolls around and it's about wrestling with a collection of corporate entities that pose a threat to the totalitarian authority of the Agency.

[@MrSandman9151]

@@barthslung the scientist lady who leads the Cell was a key player in the development of the agents, but when she realised that the Agency was conducting unethical experiments on humans and funding gang activity to install a police state, she defected and was framed for the creation and subsequent release of the freaks. The Cell are a collection of the poor and destitute who suffer as a result of the dictatorship, who are led by said scientist and are trying to take back control of the city and topple the Agency.

[@flared9921]

Crackdown 1: agency is the evil guys Crackdown 2: bbeg steals a hand of the supersoldier after slicing it off with a helicopter. Crackdown 3: ignoring those endings?

[@alexweaver4888]

Crackdown 4:???

[@VeraTheTabbynx]

What's worse, Crackdown 3 ends with the villan having stolen Jaxon's right arm, completely ignoring that's how the last game ended

[@Fromaginator]

Imagine a joke about vaccinations aging this well mid pandemic

[@soldiert0144]

remember the yee old times back in 2019 when vaccines would 100% of the time make you immune to being infected by the disease it was designed to protect you against? if only we still lived in such times. now days the coof vaccine has to have several * added to the whole "it will protect against the coof" claim

1:56 What!?!? I thought you played as Terry Crews in the game! Now I'm definitely not gotta buy it!

[@CrazierWinter35]

You do, it's the First guy in the Character select.

[@davidha44]

You can play as him in the story, but he only has a few preset voice lines and they made his voice so quiet you can barely hear him, so you're basically playing generic super jacked black guy, not really Terry Crews. I wouldn't recommend getting it unless you already have Game Pass.

[@Mathmachine]

When the best thing about your game is the Terry Crews commercials, that might be a sign there's a problem.

[@ReleasedHollow]

Also promising a fully destructible city but then only putting it in multiplayer. I remember when everybody I talked to about the game, never having played any of the predecessors, would hype it up for that feature alone.

[@ManoredRed]

@@ReleasedHollow That's a great feature that to this day extremely few games have. That they actually implemented it and then proceeded to use it only on multiplayer is... really stupid.

[@sabiro2315]

@@ty1298 Sure I suppose. Why does a constant stream of boosters bother you so much? It’s a constantly evolving virus and the existing vaccines might not provide that much long-term protection, so naturally it makes sense to keep ourselves as well-equipped to deal with it as possible.

[@Ragenarok124]

The mech boss he referred to can be more easily cheesed by jumping above his arena and shooting him through the skylight which was conveniently left open. If you're playing on Legendary, bring the grenade that refills your decimator and Anubis because running back to the supply point gives the boss all his health back

Crackdown 2 plus 1: electric boogaloo now with *power of cloud*

[@thunderhound294]

New Funky mode!

[@theguardian8317]

I remember reading articles years ago about how the consoles playing this game were going to connect as a sort of distributed system to make calculations for realistic destruction. Later there was some BS about using the power of Microsoft Cloud. In the end the destruction in Red Faction Guerrilla, a game from 10 years ago, still looks much better

[@PikaLink91]

- Yahtzee, that's cheating. - Oh hush, I'm just using the tools that are available. If anything, blame the guy that left the window open.

[@ManoredRed]

I'm of the same policy when playing games. The only situation in which I don't go for the cheap cheese option is if it would be really boring.

[@RegretfulDeadMan]

So this is a third game in the series this year that was made too late and its features feel utterly archaic in modern times. Where have I Kingdom Hearts this before.

[@oscarmccormack1611]

Except that (from what I've heard from actual reviewers) seems to have aged well mechanically, if not narratively. This game though...

[@Azure-Flame-Bee]

Yewh, but KH is still stupid fun And does Crackdown 3 have a scene where Woody from Toy Story tells the Master of all Evil that nobody ever loved him

[@Dev-nr4dw]

OH SHUT THE FUCK UP! The games changed WAY TOO MUCH. The First three Kingdom Hearts Game were so good because the story was about Sora and his friends. Kingdom Hearts had alot of charm especially in the first three games where it actually felt like a Disney/Final Fantasy Crossover. Then came Xehanort,then the time travel,Sleeping Worlds,Power of Waking,Union Cross,Master of Masters,Black Box,etc. These things were ruining the franchise. KH3 is somewhat similar to the first two games because Disney is given importance again but the problem was that it focused TOO MUCH on Disney . It took many elements from the shitty BBS,DDD games and combined it with the KH1 and KH2 elements so it is still better than BBS,DDD but still not as good as KH1,CoM and KH2.

[@Dev-nr4dw]

You know what? Fuck Dunkey. He doesn't have enough knowledge before he talks about a subject,lies and manipulates information to make it seem like a fact. DON'T trust his reviews and take his word for it.

[@ghbutler]

[@NathanCassidy721]

300-I.Q. Prower There has been a fan base waiting for this game for a decade now. It looked like it was gonna be fun, not a “game changer” but a great time waster. All it did was remind people that this formula has not aged well.

Oh ok, thanks XD

[@Oddman1980]

I know you meant tourettes not torrents, but torrents is funnier somehow.

[@crypto1223]

Oh man. I remember that boss. Kept getting wiped out every time I tried. So I got creative and scaled the building and jumped in through the open roof, glided to a perch I could stand on up there, and rained explosive hell down on the jerk well out of harms way because no one in the dev department programed a “aim all the way to the ceiling” logic gate into the AI’s code. It’s shocking how gratifying it was to cheese the enemy to death like that, when it was a massive Dark Souls brand boss fight in their own right.

[@deadjuice1880]

Yahtzee just inspired me on how to explain something to people: I'm currently at new job. I'm meeting several co-workers who are fellow gamers. They ask me what game I'm playing ATM. I tell them "Rust". They've all never heard of it. I tell them, "ummm... It's a survival multiplayer game..." I try to think of how to explain Rust's particular style of this, and can't think of anything that'll fit a brief description, so I just say it can be 500 people on a map at one time and leave it at that. No. Now I have a brief summary. I think it's great: "I play Rust mostly. It's a survival sandbox with up to 500 players. Everyone builds a town together, but everyone is a drooling pychotic asshole. It's a lot of fun."

[@MonkeyDrawers]

You can absolutely play as Terry Crews. He is the player character that talks the most. And thanks for the pro-tip Yahtz! I kinda wished I had more skyscrapers to scale. And a sniper rifle, used to be you could snipe a baddie from a much higher position and you'd get one agility point from it. I also miss the quacker.

[@zombie0ate0my0brains]

Surprisingly, Yahtzee's comment about chickens wasn't hyperbole. There are approximately 24 billion chickens compared to approximately 8 billion humans. Meaning there is in fact 3 chickens for every human.

[@thegamedoctor200]

"we all agree that vaccinations work" is a phrase that should have aged better than it did.

Incredible how the third game in a franchise also feels like the most archaic

[@TheCorrodedMan]

If I’m honest, I’m fairly certain that the twists were followed up, both of them. Cell is practically none existent, the Agency is now a _global_ peacekeeping force rather than a _local_ one(which was their goal in Crackdown 2), and virtually everyone, including anarchists and megalomaniacs like the leaders of Terranova and Echo, the leader of the Resistance, see the Agents as the only ones who can foil their plans/save the day. Mind control isn’t always as overt as one might think(for those not privy, the beacons and conduits you activated in Crackdown 2 were actually built with two purposes: destroy the Freaks, and help power up a massive mind-control device atop the Keep, the agency’s headquarters. It was set off at the end, and now it’s virtually impossible to keep the agents _out_ of any city or nation)

[@supereldinho]

I remember a time when the term "sandbox" used to describe a giant sprawling playground for you to fuck around in such as Just Cause, Prototype, Saints Row and Red Faction Guerilla. Nowadays, sandbox games have become so homogenized that they're either divided into Rockstar-type of games that focus way too much on detail and realism or Ubisoft-style games that make you feel like you're checking boxes off a list instead of doing something the developers designed with some actual effort. Has this simple idea of fucking around for fun become obsolete or have sandboxes simply become, dare I say, boring?

[@muckian2112]

Well one of the points of the crackdown series is that the agency is bad and there sending you to destroy anyone who would want to take down the agency
