Almost everything you've posted are standard sequel improvements (most of which are small if not downright superficial) yet none of those address the core mechanics, which are essentially the same as a game from twelve years ago.
This game feels like the original with some very minor tweaks and nothing you've posted (nor anything I've played thus far) is evidence of any real evolution.
At best what you've posted is some basic refinement, which is the absolute bare minimum for a game that has been this long in development.
I'm not trying to say that Crackdown 3 is revolutionary. The Cloud-tech is borderline revolutionary, but it's also not part of the campaign, which is the main draw.
And I don't generally disagree that the refinements seen in the game are evolutionary in the same way most other sequels are. Of course a sequel is going to build on and improve on the mechanics in the original game. I would argue that Crackdown saw a greater evolution of mechanics, enemy types, mission types, tech, weapons, gadgets, Narrative and navigation than Gears 4 did, for example.
I would whole heatedly also agree to disagree that the improvements I've mentioned in that post are minor though. Have you gone back and played the original Crackdown recently? The game essentially has one enemy type, and the only variance are weapons, damage, and amount of health. Adding 9 new bosses, numerous mini-boss variants, new flying drone enemies, shield enemies, and new standard enemy variants is not minor, that is a significant amount of new content. Same with the upgrades, adding 25 completely new upgrades, that significantly improve the gameplay isn't minor. Neither is adding a new car that can scale buildings, or being able to transform into a tank.
This game still feels like Crackdown at its core, which is personally, what I'm most happy about. I wanted a big, fun, crazy sandbox, that added to and improved the original game, but kept it's core building leaping, upgrading, explosion-fetish, crazy fun.
What exactly would you like to see changed?
