my point was to answer onee chan's question why they cancelled one game because of development problems but continued on with Crackdown 3 rather than cancelling it as well. nothing was said concerning whether either deserved that fate.

 About the bolded History shows the OG Xbox one with the extra cost of Kinetic was underpowered and overpriced in comparison to the PS4.

Again, MS and Platinum Games appeared to have some trouble on working together on Scalebound. Go read about it. Meanwhile Crackdown probably just got stuck in some sort of development hell trying to deliver the MP. I mean the Campaign is nothing particularly unique, mostly just more Crackdown with some ideas of other open world games.

Frankly, I don't get your argument. Are you suggesting all games stuck in development hell should be treated equal? Scalebound and Crackdown 3 were very different projects with different studios working on them. Yet for some reason you feel MS should treat them as equals? Its a dumb argument.

I'm not disagreeing with your other comment, not relevant either.

I think you have misread my reply, my answer was focused on the second part of her question about how a game with such a low score wasn't canceled since that seemed to be more answerable rather than playing  two different games with different circumstances off against each other, Instead I tried  to try to explain the circumstances surrounding Ms and the Xbox one and their  link to crackdown 3 at inception raising Crackdown 3's profile well above what it's history would suggest ,and how that made it harder for them to give up on it.
