yeah it's pretty similar to the original.

That's what makes it so awesome

Having tried the demo for Crackdown 2. I was already feeling fairly disappointed. The critique based on my thirty minutes seems to be pretty fair. I also feel that any beating the developer takes is entirely justified. Having watched the developer diaries before even trying the demo I wasn't impressed. They really didn't have the option for modest improvement over the previous title. Seeing as last year Prototype took the Crackdown formula to ridiculous levels. That development team basically improved greatly all aspects of the original Crackdown. Plus they incorporated a plethora of other mechanics, and managed to toss in a story system that surpassed Bioshock into the mix.


So what you're saying is that i should ignore Crackdown 2 and buy Prototype instead? Seems like a good idea



No its not harsh at all, Crackdown was one of my favorite games, Crackdown 2 was shit, it was boring, the helicopter was crap, they sucked all of the lighting out of it and SAME GODDAMN CITY! Seriously?! They say they only had 18 months to develop and that wasn't enough time? Thats your excuse for the same city? Look at Uncharted 2! Won game of the year and was made in the same exact time! I swear if Microsoft screws up Fable 3, just like they did with Crackdown, I'm getting rid of my 360 and just playing PS3, because they said all these games were gunna be AAA and look, 1 game, Mass Effect, Alan Wake was not that great, it had potential, Splinter Cell, only ok, Microsoft thinks that if they just put out another Halo game its gunna sell, they think it's so good, now there are games better like Killzone, Crysis, what more have they got? They have got nothing, only Fable, and if they manage to screw it up, I'm done with Xbox.

STFU

Alan Wake was phenominal. Splinter Cell Conviction had the gameplay MGS4 should have had. 

Killzone better than Halo?

ROFL.

It's opinion of course. But I would never ever stop playing Halo. I still play Halo 3 online after 3 years. Look at my sig. The last played game is Halo 3. Says it all.

Reach will be the best FPS ever by a long way, and outsell any other 360 FPS. And record the highest Online players for an FPS. Just watch. The beta was friggin amazing.

Hum, you should not say STFU or laugh at the others opinion because they are opinions after all (you even said so).

Going that way, I didnt like Alan Wake and I'm not that big of a fan of Halo Reach. I think Conviction should have stayed with the original Splinter Cell gameplay and Crackdown 2 is bad.



"The targeting system is also completely broken, with the Agent locking onto cars and other non-threatening objects, often multiple times, rather than focus on the Cell operative a foot away from him that's filling his balls with bullets. Some of the missions are broken, too. One tactical location is actually impossible to complete in single-player, because leaving the location's radius causes the mission to be lost. Unfortunately, all the Cell soldiers that need killing at at the top of a building that requires players to leave the radius in order to climb. Without a second player, this mission simply cannot be completed. It's oversights like that are simply inexcusable in a game where the developer did very little of their own original work."

 

This is simply not true whatsoever.  I did VGChartz' review of the game, and I beat the game, including taking every tactical location, before even attempting coop.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Yea I know mean, hopefully they get a new dev for the new game or just get Real Time Words, and as for you selnor, I love Halo, I have about 1,4000 gamerscore on Halo 3, but can't they give us something new? Other than Halo
