Games That Nobody Plays Anymore: Crackdown
72
Crackdown was a fun little title developed by Realtime Worlds and one of the co-creators of GTA. It was a fun little romp which was released a billion years ago (2 years ago) and really didn't leave a mark upon free-roaming games. It was a sort of fun little running around thingy coupled with awesome multiplayer and co-op. It was a nice little package and just to ruin it, they included the Halo 3 multiplayer beta. It was a weird thing, and many players didn't feel that it was right to have to buy a full retail game to play the beta.

get points for doing those things. Like killing with explosives gets you explosive skills, and using karate kicks get you physical skills.
I also liked the agency cars that trans form with each level you get in the driving skills. The littl sports car looked awesome when it transforms.

"Trouble is with Crackdown, it is kinda easy. The story can be mainly done in 7 hours, depending on your skills, and after the ending, you can only jump around like a madman without a purpose."
Not really true anymore. With new updates, you can resurrect gangs now. Great update because yes, having nothing to do but time trials put me off the game for a long time.

1.11 - Nonsense article.
This article is written like a 12-year-old's first fanboy FUD attemp.
Crackdown is one of the cult-hits and fan-favorites of the generation, it is hailed as a under-rated classic.
Dont believe me? Try and buy a used copy at EBGames (etc). Crackdown is normally in very short supply, and always at a price premium.
Why? Because gamers know it's a fcuking AAA title. And this article's writer is worried about this:

Mind you I had a 360 (RRoD) and have played and enjoyed Crackdown thoroughly and am looking forward to number 2. Oh ouch, burn.
Plan on buying a second come Christmas, unless I truly need a 360(right now) to even comment in this section. Thus my posting in the 360 threads.
You along with many others are fanboys, loyalists to one system and it's getting increasingly annoying. Whether your a Sony fanboy or MS, It doesn't matter your all the same.
I hope you get a PS3 some day so that you can enjoy these games.

"It was a weird thing, and many players didn't feel that it was right to have to buy a full retail game to play the beta."
Aren't there other games laid out like this? you buy the full retail game to get into a beta. Wasn't infamous just such a game that offered up the beta to Uncharted 2. I didnt hear many complain about that game.
It is a trend that will just continue to grow. Next up will be FF13 to get a beta for FF14. If it isnt exclusive DLC it will be exclusive access to beta games.

4.2 - I disagree.
Infamous was very much hyped/publicized without mention of the uncharted beta, due to this being Sucker Punches brand new spanking IP. You could also get into the criminally short Uncharted beta without Infamous, it wasn't the sole way. Many people bought crackdown just for Halo, you guys know this. Come on now. Crackdown wouldn't be where its at today without the Halo Beta. Especially with the "hardcore shooter" fanbase.
Its not like the majority of people excited about infamous were saying "im going to by this relatively unknown game Infamous, by sucker punch.. to get the uncharted 2 beta"...

What the frack are you blathering about?
Xbox LIVE Community Games (Indy Games) has *NO* control at-all. Quality control. Language control. Length control. No control *AT ALL*.
That is the point.
Xbox LIVE Community Games is the democratization of Console Video Game publishing. The first effort to open Console Gaming to Indy-Developers.
Its a water-mark in open console gaming, and your here to spread FUD about "qc"? Get stuffed pal.

How does this ps3 nerd even know how many people are playing this game?...I still play it all the time and I love it. No game that is several years old is going to be played as much as newer games...but how is Crackdown any different than any other game in that way? This was by far one of the most trolling and moronic articles I have ever read.

I think what Bladestar is trying to say is those games he named still are being played, just like Crackdown. So if someone claims Crackdown isn't being played anymore, someone else could say the exact same from other old games.
This article is a bit rubbish, it's not really based on facts. Re-read the comment of Bladestar and you'll see he was actually quite neutral in this.

good for you idiot now why dont you go pretend you own an xbox and know what the fuk you are talking about in another thread.
From your own no-biased site
"f you had been counting, thats only two quality 'AAA' exclusives for the Xbox. Viva Pinata, Banjo kazooee: Nuts and Bolts, Too Human, Perfect Dark, Ninety-Nine Nights are all flops, or mediocre titles at best, and this is not fanboism, this is fact. i can't imagine most Xbox 360 owners are hankering for Kameo 2:deli of fate. "
then you go on to talk about million sellers on the PS3 and those become aaa.
"So lets consider the amount of 'AAA' exclusive titles for the PS3 (for the sake of fanboys out there, we'll only list the ones that has sold over a million) we have MGS4, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, LBP, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Killzone 2.
Now using incite if there are only 2 'AAA' exclusive titles on the Xbox , you can expect them to have a higher sales rate because of their fewer number, where compared to the PS3 and remember we are only talking about the million and above sellers, not all of the exclusive titles has a broader range of titles to choose from, so you can expect sales to be spread across different titles. Look at it this way, Killzone 2 has been released, and inFamous, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, White Knight Chronicles, and M.A.G are all coming exclusively to the PS3, This Year.
Now compare that (the quantity not the quality) to the 2 games that Microsoft is going to announce for the Xbox, this year at E3 "
you are a droid coming to these conclusions. case closed.
