Crackdown 3 Review Thread
- Thread starter Neat
- Start date
Nether was crackdown 3.
And if drive club was great at 71 mc does that mean crackdown 3 is like 15% less great?
For me this game looked average from the beginning (well, after they removed the total destruction) and it seems that I was right.
But their quantity and quality really not match with Sony and Nintendo. Hopefully next gen will be better
The critics really turned on this franchise based on these reviews. It's apparently not exciting anymore.
I wonder if the public will react similarly.
This metascore is even lower than I expected, but poor reviews didn't stop State of Decay and Sea of Thieves from being mildly successful.
Still a disappointing outcome.

I disagree h3avily with these reviews. Way too harsh, and sounds like they're coming from people who think everything need to be AAAA all the time.
The game is perfect for gamespass. I wouldn't pay 60 for it, but I've almost played through it now, and I'm glad I did. It's relentless, fun and exhausting. You hardly ever stand still and you're always levelling up something.
It's fun in the way ReCore was fun. It's a video game that doesn't try to be anything but an arcadey game , and it succeeds. It doesn't need to be more than what it is.

Can we imagine if CD3 was released in 2017 as Xbox One X launch title?
With more than 1 year extra development time, the game managed to be 60s.
If it were released in 2017, man, I don't want to think about it....
Still so disappointed one of my favorite franchise got destroyed like this...

I'm still waiting for a new Crimson skies. It's a IP that Microsoft should go back to.
No way in hell to really quantify this, but I would bet good money that development on what we ended up getting was way more constrained than the half decade since it was announced.
On is that true? Someone should tell Sony then that they know less about their business than internet poster "dunkzilla"
It just doesn't make sense, we know that MS has never put a MS studio on this IP. It just wouldn't make sense to call it first party if not of your first party studios haven't touched the IP before.
MS will catch flak for this, 5 years and not a lot to show for it? I doubt people are going to be happy.
I honestly believe that if it weren't for the whole cloud computing gimmick MS was touting when this game was announced, Crackdown 3 wouldn't have been greenlit in the first place.
I think we can assume this is the end of the series.
A mediocre series whose corpse was hamstrung for the sake of being a tech demo for tech that never got off the ground, went into development hell and turned out to be well, mediocre. Mild shock.
And even if they didn't own the IP, so long as they're the ones funding and publishing it, it's still first party. Sony doesn't own Spider-Man, Nintendo doesn't own Bayonetta 2 and Microsoft doesn't own Sunset Overdrive but all three are still first party games.
You've already played Crackdown 3? This is also one of my favorite franchises, and it looks like more of the same Crackdown we both love. So why do you think it was "destroyed?"
A lot of us were right. What boggles my mind is, we are not developers, but people who over saw the game didn't raise any hands and say, maybe this gameplay is dated?
Maybe we should rethink and try to make something better? They could have honestly made something like red faction guerrilla with mild destruction, but with a more lively city, and made getting powers and jumping around more interesting.
Spidey isn't first party. Sony literally owns no part of the title. That's like saying KH is a Square Enix game.
Your are making same weird rules up. Microsoft funded the game. They even own the IP. It doesn't matter who developed it.
It's a Microsoft 1st party game.
Huh, from what I remember RFG is just random open world missions you do over and over until you have destroyed everything. And that would be better than what CD3 has to offer??
No, i didn't and I cannot wait to play it.
What I mean about "destroyed" is the opportunity of Crackdown as an IP get more loves, growning fanbase, etc. is destroyed.
And such low review score will make many players stay away from it, even it is on XGP.
Disappointed that this game reviewed even worse than many people's already lowered expectations. Even though this is an early XBO title and I do hope that Microsoft and other studios are going to be on a stronger footing going forward, they have a lot to prove to me personally before I jump whole-heatedly into their ecosystem.
Gamepass is great but at this point in my life, my time is more important than having lots of games at my disposal to play.

People have a really hard time wrapping their head around the definition of first party. I don't get it.
CRACKDOWN 3 IS FIRST PARTY
That said, doom and gloom around Microsoft Studios is not exactly warranted. The majority of work was done by outside studios, and Microsoft biggest failure was likely not supporting the title with a decent budget, or changing producers and such to where the creative process became jumbled.
Or my theory which is everyone's insight is too low to see Crackdown's true glory.
What a shame. I'll probably check it out in a few months when I'm done with more of my backlog. At least gamepass is cheap.
Probably depends more on how much the game is played and what kind of support it gets. I doubt metacritic scores mean much to people who already paid for the game via gamepass. Sea of Thieves reviewed similarly and is still growing.
Crackdown 3 is a 2nd party developed (Sumo Digital) exclusive sequel based on the Microsoft IP Crackdown.
Now it should be correct
Glad I'm getting this on Game Pass.
Granted, I don't buy hardly any games day one anymore. Only games I got at launch (and didn't rely on Game Pass) in the last 2 years were Horizon 4, RDR2, and Kingdom Hearts 3.

I'm not sure if this was posted already, but I really enjoyed the game. I'm a bit shocked it's received so many low review scores (not scored yet as multiplayer sessions were brief) - https://www.usgamer.net/articles/crackdown-3-review
"Marvel's Spider-Man" is a trademark of SIE. They own that specific Spider-Man game. No one could make a sequel to that game unless it is Sony or someone with Sony's permission. It is funded and published by Sony. That's a first party game.
You and everyone else saying it's not a first party game are way off base.
Crackdown 3 is a game developed by a 2nd party developer - my problem is that you are wrong and still not admitting it
I'm not making up weird rules, I never considered Forza H as first party as well.
Staten was literally dropped in at the last minute to try and save the mess. It's hardly his game
User Banned (3 Days): Console warring and trolling
the mental gymnastics from the Xbox crowd is sure something...
Spider-Man is a first party game
And Sony owns the Spider-Man IP for gaming via a licensing contract with Marvel
Someone above literally posted a tweet from PlayStation saying Spider-Man is a first party title
