Well optmized isn't lack of bugs (that would be more like polished) is a different story then on being "heavy on assets, low on the impact". So if a game doesn't look to be pushing the technical aspects and still need a good HW I wouldn't say the code is well optimized. KH3 is made with UE4 as well as many great looking games, so I find it hard to say CD3 is the best in optmization.

There is a very big difference between not being part of the game (and we have seem critics take points from some great games from the lack of MP or SP campaign). And a game usually is considered as bad as its worse portion. So there have also been great games that lost points from having glaring mistakes on the extra content pumped in.

People disagreeing are people that really like the game and are upset with the score. 

Already said that some games have lost good points from not having a feature the reviewer wanted, and usually games lose points from extra content that wasn't good.

So if you think the MP is shitty, then it really should impact the total score and the 60 doesn't seem like unfair score.

A game should never be evaluated by how much its fanbase like it, if that was the case most games would get much bigger scores)

Again you demonstrate you don't really know much but you talk anyway. Crackdown 3 performs well, has a relatively high resolution for UE4, the presentation is sharp and clean looking, great use of effects, its not considered buggy, therefore its a polished product.

KH3 IS NOT considered polished. I assume it still has an erratic frame rate, runs on at a significantly lower resolution on base X1 and its a linear game in comparison.

Again, a game as polished as Crackdown 3 and with no glaring flaws generally don't score a 60. Less than upset, I think people find it a odd.

 

So you agree with me, critics arbitrarily decide when to ding a game for its MP or lack of? Stop bloviating and just admit I'm right.

 

I did not say a game should be reviewed based on fan opinions, that's dumb. Here's a thought, people praised Sonic Mania for just being more 16-bit era Sonic. People like NSMB because its like classic Mario games.  Mario Kart hasn't changed much since the Gamecube release. So why can't Crackdown just be more Crackdown?

Essentially you have fans that just wanted more of the same and are enjoying it. Its a polished game called Crackdown doing what its supposed to do. The critics on the other hand seem to feel Crackdown needed to change open world genre or something. I think that's where the disconnect is. Other IPs can stay the same and get praise, but Crackdown could not be that I guess.

Yes you win, I forfeit.

Okay having played some of Crackdown 3, it honestly deserves all of the 5's and 6's. It is a very bland and uninteresting game, even with Gamepass it just feels like I am wasting my time playing it when there are games that do every that Crackdown 3 does, but better.

In fact having replayed Crackdown 1 just a few months ago, I am shock how many of the flaws from that game weren't address in 3 like lock-on removes so much challenge from the game and bad the platforming can get.

"that do every that Crackdown 3" ?????? What the heck are you trying to say if are trying to make a point at least use some correct grammar.

you didn't figure out that was supposed to be "everything"? Here, I'll help:

"it just feels like I am wasting my time playing it when there are games that do everything that Crackdown 3 does but better."

Lock-on isn't a flaw of a game when it's a large part of what the game is about. If they got rid of the lock-on system, it wouldn't feel like crackdown. Being able to lock-on to an enemies head,legs,arm, a cars wheels or gas tank is part of the fun.  If you really don't want to lock-on to targets, it's very possible to shoot enemies without locking on. The platforming is one of the best feature of the game. How much of the game have you actually played?

No worries, the grammar policing as an argumentation device is always infuriating so I had to chime in. The omission was pretty obvious to the point I don't think I noticed until he mentioned it when reading the original post.

I'm seeing a lot of the word "polished" in this thread as if it should be some kind of major criteria upon which review scores should be based.

It's not. We all know the famous phrase about polish. You can polish a bad game to a brilliant, gleaming shine and it's still a bad game.

Personally speaking, I'd rather have an unpolished diamond than a polished up rock any day of the week.
