I never said that they aren't making them. I was implying that the failure of another high profile 1st party game might dampen their efforts and enthusiasm in making many more of them. You should read what I write and not what you want to read. As for my impressions and the vast majority of critics, it turned out to be right. The game was early announced and rarely talked about, the first preview we got looked like a 360 game without any life and that whole thing with the cloud was complete bullshit from the start anyway. So yes, my and many people's first impression was completely justified. In my opinion the game should get a default 5 point deduction for that whole cloud bullshit, where MS was actively lying to consumers. So anything above 5 is a reward for this game. Also, unless a review is is talking untruths it cannot be wrong. |
I'm not reading what I want to read, you simply made a stupid comment and I'm trying to informed you. Because, you clearly seem to imply that Crackdown 3 was the crowning achievement of Microsoft effort on Xbox one and this will dampen their effort. Your simply ignoring all the re-investment in gaming and the studios that Microsoft acquired in the last year that clearly prove you couldn't be further from the truth. Crackdown 3 was in development nightmare and was a game from the previous regime at Xbox that wanted to push for cloud gaming. Instead of cancelling yet another failure development, Phil Spencer and co at Microsoft tried to salvage the work done so far and made a half decent game. Including Terry Crews to the game really help it stand out for what was a very mediocre effort help give character to the game. The game is virtually glitch and problem free in my 15 hours of gameplay, I haven't experience any issues or bugs, from a technical point of view it's a very well made game. Like I said personally I would give the campaign a 7.5/10, I don't intend to play much of the multiplayer but that doesn't justify the 5/10 score.
I disagree with your cloud bullshit statement, I think the game should be judge on the final result not on the development. It's not like Microsoft lied about what the final game would finally deliver and the cloud tech was more a technical feature demo then it was trailer for crackdown 3. At the time when they were talking about Crackdown 3 it was going to push cloud gaming tech.
I think most of the 5/10 keep talking about the 5 year development that were needed to create Crackdown 3 and that the final result doesn't quite add to their expectation of a game that would of been in development for so long. But, if you actually took the time to try out Crackdown 3, the game is hardly worth a score of 5/10. But, Reviews are subjective and the reviewers are entitle to their opinions. Crackdown 3 is a fun game that can be played for very cheap if you get gamepass. I don't think anyone should pay full retail price when they have the gamepass option. If you don't have access to internet, you should wait for a price drop because I expect this game to be discount soon after release or go somewhere with internet access and take advantage of gamepass. It's not a bad game just not a master piece.
