My opinion has evolved. Crackdown 3 does not look like a bad game.

For as much as Cows talk about this game, I rewatched the E3 2018 trailer a few times, solely due to Cows bringing the game up. Upon doing so, I've evolved my opinion on Crackdown 3.

I've come to the conclusion that solely on the merrits of the E3 2018 trailer itself, with Terry Crews, it does not look like a bad game. Or, nowhere near what Cows make it out to be. There is no way I can see this game being worse than ANY Infamous game, that Cows love. And I've played ALL of the Infamous games. I even thought Infamous 2 was one of the best games of last generation.

(again, based solely on the recent trailer, not any of the baggage attached to the game, or the strawman of "AAA hype" or the memes of "teh cloudz" or the destruction system,)

I feel like all the hate this game is not based on the merrits of the game, but due to the straw-manning of the hype for this game (by Cows) and making jokes/memes about its delays, about the removed destructability system and cloud technology that we've known was removed years ago.

At best and at worst, this game will be a good mid-tier 80s game on metacritic. With the amount of mocking/straw-manning from Cows, this game could even end up being a sleeper.

Discuss.

Inb4 the usual 4 Cows who are all alts of eachother start spewing their drivel in here, reposting that crying "feels guy" a billion times, and calling everyone who replies to them triggered. 4 chan is that way >>>>>>.

I think that the game looks pretty good as well. All I’m expecting from it is for a good solid game, nothing earth shattering or anything.

Bad? No. Great? No. It will grab its 6/10 here and 60-72/100 on MC. If the destruction in MP is to its advertised 3 years ago level then it will be so much fun. I simply doubt it at this point.

The game is trying too hard to be cool... I found the trailer unbearable to watch, I literally felt embarrassed by the character.

Cows love to poison the well of anything that's not on their system? That's why they're toxic to gaming. A sickness.

Your opinion has..."evolved"? Into what? An educated opinion?

Anyway, this looks lame. Just Cause 3 is already out, is years older, and is better than this game. Just Cause 4 is coming out, too. Shit, just get Saint's Row 3 or 4.

As I've said from the beginning, it'll be a decent game I think. Nothing special, but definitely not bad.

It'll be abit of dumb fun.

And somehow your opinion is any better, how can you state that JC3 is better than this game when you haven't played it???

It was a surprise sleeper as most bought the game because Halo 3 beta on the disk but it turned out highly entertaining and loads of fun. Many like myself thought it was the finest pure fun and mayhem 2 player coop sandbox for it's time. Collecting the orbs leveling up was addicting as all get out as well.

Setting aside the fact that the trailer carefully avoids the whole unlimited environmental destruction point, showing us only a couple very brief big explosion shots that are probably meant to hint at it while in truth represent predefined destructables of some sort...

The trailer is painful. That character and dialog and animation... I'm not sure whether to accuse it of being too "try hard" or really just being 12-yo boy Saturday morning cartoon fare, but it's painful.

SSOD = superhero camp and explosions done much more right

I meant based on appearances; all games mentioned being the "corny, over-the-top action" type of game, Crackdown 3 is the only one that looks like it might be too over-the-top.

But you're right, shouldn't have been pissy about the opinion wording. Just thought "evolved" was an odd choice.

Fanboys will always be toxic, but I don't see this game being that good. I hope I am proven wrong, but the last few Microsoft releases gives me major doubt.

@mrbojangles25: that's exactly how I felt about it. It's way too over the top, it's trying way too hard, it was painful to watch that trailer, to listen to what the character was saying. Just... Ugh...

"At best and at worst ,this will be a good mid-tier 80s game on metacritic"

Could you clarify what you meant by this? Are you saying at best it'll be like an 87 and at worst it'll be like an 83 on metacritic?

It doesn't look bad, no... just terribly mediocre. This 3rd person destruction genre has also been done to death, so it's just wearing thin. Now, if they did a first person destruction game on a huge scale... that might be interesting, as I don't think that's been done yet.

I love JC3 and i'm one of the very few on here who does, I put in over 300hrs into it. I see C3 to be similar to the first Crackdown game which is what I want, which is a game just like JC3 where you pick up and play for senseless fun by blowing shit up and not taking it serious.

I don't care for the graphics their passable to me, i'm just waiting to see if Terry Crews is the main character, because if he is then I will just skip the game as that guy is annoying af.

If they can deliver a polished game with no bugs or game breaking mechanics it should do well providing they can get the destruction working as advertised without the need for a super internet connection.

But I'm imagining the impact it'll have if it does deliver..... it'll pave a new way and direction for games moving forward and it will show others developers that cloud based destruction can work.

Now imagine Battlefield with cloud based destruction for the environments, that's drool worthy!

Im sure if you enjoyed the first 2 then you will end up liking 3. The problem ms made for themselves was bigging it up as a blockbuster when there wasn't really a massive following of the series.
