I don't believe that's accurate. In the original Crackdown you basically kill the bosses and upgrade all your stats. Other than that you chase orb things and do driving missions. Crackdown 3 actually has more stuff to do.

I COULD elaborate. But why should I bother? Its evident you don't know anything about these games really.

Well that is collective of people experience, what you see can be totally different though.

I'd say Crackdown 3 is more like mid tier, not low tier. The game was at a bunch of E3s because of delays and the MP was ultimately thrown together.

Again, games as polished and feel as tight as Crackdown 3 generally don't score that low. My source? I say that as someone who has played numerous UE4 games on Xbox One and the Digital Foundry guys were also impressed.

I'm suggesting people who are in this thread and know nothing about this game (like yourself) should watch that video. Its a fair analysis and will likely change your views a bit.

You only claim it is fair because it defends your point, that is the issue.

Ok you considering it mid tier, even if from what we see from MS along the years put it as high tier to them. But that really isn't much of a worthy discussion.

Sincerely I find it very hard to believe that the best implementation of UE4 would be on the lower end of the scores (we do know that very few game score lower than 60), and even without playing it I also wouldn't see 60 as an appropriate score for a game that works well and deliver what it's supposed to do.

If the gaming score really used full spectrum from 0 to 10, instead of 5 to 10, then perhaps 60 would be a fitting score, like a little above average. But on our use of the scale 7-7.5 seems more likely to be right.

In general I think the HLTB is fairly accurate when it comes to completing campaigns, but the numbers for completing everything is much more random especially in an open world game.

Again, watch the video. If you can spend a bunch of time talking about Crackdown 3 then maybe you can find the time for that video. I'm thinking your concern is it doesn't fit your narrative.

Straw man, I didn't claim it was the best implementation of UE4. You're making assumptions because of the 60 score without actually knowing much.

The 1-10 review scale is broken in my opinion because 1-5 is varying levels of crap. While 6 is often the score for bad game with redeeming qualities. So 60/100 seems odd for a game that's actually fun, polished and works well. This is why fans are ignoring the reviews for this game.
