Is anybody saying good things about the MP? Its just there. Not terrible, kinda interesting, but not reflective of the campaign content.

If Crackdown 3 was on Switch it would be dynamic 480p-720p and still have scaled back visuals (refer to the UE4 game Ark). Anywho, still reminds me of Nintendo games for somewhat simplistic but polished visuals.

Cetainly CD3 would need to be scaled back for Switch, but that due to how bad the optimization is. I'll repeat, I find plenty of Switch games to look better than CD3.

So if the MP is bad then it naturally drags the score down.

I'd argue Crackdown 3 is well optimized considering we've seen numerous games really struggle with UE4. Its a very GPU intensive engine but has great looking effects.

The new Yoshi game on Switch has impressive graphics and its 60 fps, but its a platformer running well below 720p docked.

I feel like giving a game a lower score because the MP sucks should also means any game lacking MP deserves a lower score. I simply dont think the MP matters, its the campaign people are promarily enjoying.

Anyhoo, people are disagreeing with the critics because its a fun and polished game. Anytime I've played a game with a score around 60 on metacritic generally has obvious problems. Its seems more like critics dont like Crackdown 3 is doing versus genuine problems.
