You said the game wasn't polished in general, that's why I said watch the Digital Foundry video. But we already had this discussion.

Again, I don't agree with the concept of dinging a score because something that's really just extra content sucks. That means a game lacking that content entirely should be dinged as well. We are just going in circles so please don't reply unless you really have something to add.

DLCs are extra, content that is part of the regular game can't be called extra just to avoid saying it drags the package down. Any chain is just as strong as it's weakest link.

DLCs are sold separate and cost extra money, that is reviewed individually.

Frankly, there have been many games that reviewed well for the campaign experience even if the MP felt forced in. That was especially prevalent last gen and early in the 8th gen.

Again, you're adding nothing to the discussion.

Only have the final boss left now. Got all my skills up to five thanks to doing the races. Some of them are quite challenging and good fun. I hate the Spider and Tank races though because those vehicles control like doodoo. Thankfully there’s only a couple of each.

Ngata was a pain in the ass on the highest difficulty thanks to the swarm of snipers he has up top, they basically one shot you if your shields are low.

Not all DLC are sold, and some are even part of the disc. Very few DLC ever get reviews, even more for a Meta.

Also those games you are saying but not listing, had the MP also evaluated. But did they suck? And how can you assure it didn't take any of the score due to it?

Anyone know how big CRackdown 3 campaign is filesize wise? I recently got gamepass, yet dealing with data caps. I see 13.6 GB listed somewhere, which would be fine if that's the same for the PC version as well?

I rather play gears of war 4, yet have to wait until my usage cycle resets as that's 112 GB !?!?!

Hmm it lists 25.8 GB on the microsoft store website, is that with wrecking zone included (don't need that) data caps :(

I prefer physical all the way.

However I also prefer to pay CAD 1.13 for a month of gamepass, instead of CAD 90.38 for a mediocre game :)

It;s just that my isp charges CAD 3 per GB overage. Imagine downloading Gears of War 4 over the limit, that would cost CAD 380 including tax lol.

I've learned to take so called professional reviews with a grain of salt. I downloaded gamepass over the weekend ($2-2months) and the idea alone that Crackdown 3 was part of the playable content was worth it. After playing the game for the past 5 days straight, not only am I throughly entertained but I can honestly say the game is one of the funnest I've played in a long time. I'm a specific type of gamer anyway. And the game checks all the boxes for me.

I'm with you on that. Great games I want physical and I may buy full price or wait 6-12 months to pay less. All the rest I don't mind just downloading and paying very little for it.

I was more talking about the damn datacaps that go hand to hand with all digital consoles concepts. That in the end seems like you may end expending more and not even having the games in the end.

Yep, and every time you get a new PC/laptop you have to re-download everything.

Anyway, got my answer. If you install through the store it says it needs 25.8 GB. However if you install through updates/download gamepass tab, you can install the campaign seperately which takes 21.7 GB. So Wrecking zone is apparently 4.1 GB. 21.7 GB I still have room for!
