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. |
I couldn't agree more with your post and I am grateful I am not the only one out there that can see it.
1st Point: I agree that MS salvaged the game and instead of cancelling the game they pushed it out for there fans. They could have easily cancelled it and I am glad they didn't. Its a solid game and definitely not a 5 or 6. You can see the efforts they put in the problematic game by hiring Sumo Digital and Terry Crews to help make this failed game a working fun game.
2nd Point: I feel the same way with the review scores. How do other games which came out with barely any content or bugged filled launches receive better reviews than Crackdown 3 which has little to no bugs in the finial product, its fun and addictive game and offers a full campaign mode as well as offering a Solo, Co-Op and MP mode. I feel its more the salty reviewers who expected a 5 year development circle game to turn out to be a masterpiece instead of a average game. Its more disappointment rather than the game being that bad.
3rd Point: Yes, the game is also free on GamePass, which as a free game makes it even more worth it.
4th Point: Crackdown 3 was never meant to be a masterpiece, it never was. Its a game you don't take too serious and just have fun with your friends and in the Sci-Fi sandbox which is sorta of rare to see these days.
Bottom line, for a Sandbox game to come out polished and mostly glitch free is a rare achievement and I think the gaming industry and community need to just admire the fact the game made it out the gates instead of being cancelled and letting the fans of the series down. I read the reviews, it made me a bit worried about buying it however I still brought the game and it actually surprised me, I am liking it. I am glad I didn't follow the trend on letting the reviewers decide what I buy.
No one is calling Crackdown 3 a masterpiece, but its a solid fun game with friends. Sure the MP modes need work but that's the industry in a nutshell.
