Crackdown 3 Was Not As Bad As People Think (Controversial Opinion) Its crazy action, ability to destroy everything, and superhero gameplay made it a pretty fun, low-commitment title for quick sessions. I know it probably isn’t as popular as the top jobs, but hey if you like pure chaos at a blanking second, with a direct, action-driven concept — I think this is creditable too.

As the title says.. Anyone so playing right now? I got some free time for awhile and just got this Xbox one and seen good reviews on it so figured I'd check it out...if I'm not wrong or sorta kinda kinda a GTA type game which I've always enjoyed. Anyways trying to figure out this multiplayer thing but it's not looking like there is anyone playing

1. Flairs! This includes Crackdown 1, 2 and 3, glitches, memes, cut content, lore. User flairs too

2. Change the banner to be the Crackdown 1 main menu or its loading screen

3. Stickied posts about achievement hunters, orb map and a petition to raise awareness for Microsoft to remaster/port Crackdown 1 to Steam/GOG and Crackdown 3 also to Steam/GOG

The beginning of the story starts with a civilian approaching the agency at the front gate in New Pacfic City. It is Pacific City only renewed and much more refined.

The civilian wants to become an agent then the shield surrounding the agency opens for the one agent and then the original Announcer or Narrator says "Welcome Agent" and then they train you.

The agency has a shield and when criminals try to attack the Agency in any way they either blow up or can't get in because they're not an agent. The shields work similar to the shields in Halo and War of the Worlds.

I don't remember there being knives in Crackdown so there shouldn't be any. There should be more tiers or more levels to upgrade. Crackdown 3 added more but there should be a few more abilities and power moves. It would be nice if the body type aschetics were lean this time around as well, the body type in Crackdown 3 were sculpted nicely but if they can make the body type even and more bulky like Crackdown 2 after a certain level of upgrading, maybe even the last level that would make it more enjoyable to play.

I also think the pov should be right in the middle like Crackdown 1 and Crackdown 2, it would be better to have Crackdown 3 and the original character povs and be able to switch the pov like Star Wars Battlefront 2, they should also make Star Wars Battlefront 3.

Bring back the harpoon gun similar to the skewer from Halo Infinite and a mixture of rag doll physics from the original Crackdown and Crackdown 3.

In the middle of the game you get the gliding ability like Crackdown 2.

When you complete the game you get a jetpack it hovers on the ground just a few inches off the floor and then you can use it to fly around the map like Iron Man but you hold onto the jetpack as if you were wearing a backpack. In other words, you hold onto the straps when you fly. You can also use a move kind of like a Superman Punch just before you stop flying, its called a Haymaker or a Power Punch. The narrator can say "Nice Haymaker Agent you really showed that Criminal whose boss". There should also be a hoverboard in the game as a gadget.

The game should be extremely difficult to beat to complete at 100% there should be an acheivement called "Peacemaker" where you complete the game 100% by helping civilians and criminals and interacting with them and learning new stories like Dialogue similar to God of War but from the Agency narrator, and repairing buildings that ended up getting damaged after you completed the Campaign, then you finally clean up the city and establish peace then you earn your wings, after that you can play the game again online with friends as Guardians and you get to fly around with wings and play the game all over again and help one civilian become an Agent also known as a Guardian.

They should also bring back the achievement where you jump off the agency tower into water and inside is a beautiful cave full of gems also known as orbs. The tower should be challenging to climb that way you can find the hidden legendary orbs the only way to grt is by becoming a guardian.

The game should be eated Mature. It should start off with the old classic graphics and then it changes to realistic graphics as you progress towards the end of the game, when you beat it the second time it starts off as realistic graphics then goes back to old school graphics. In case any violence is in the game it reverts back to the Crackdown 3 style of the gane where it is more comic like when you punch enemies.

Gadgets and Abilities:

Thrusters should be a choice because the original Crackdown was a lot more natural, the developers should also bring back the old windbreaker sound effect everytime you leap to a new building, no grappling features in my opinion cause that would ruin the whole essence of the theme the game is mainly about agility.

The developers should make leaping less clunky by adding more ledges to the game and making the physics better compared to Crackdown 3.

Ironically, I think we should be able to have more power moves like doing flips in the air whenever we players do a power landing like a power punch to the ground.

The theme should also be a more serious tone cause the theme in Crackdown 3 wasn't as serious and in my opinion detracted the whole point of the game and the point of the gane was to clean up the city.

I also think should be more challenges and orbs that you can pursue like the orbs that yoy actually have to run after.

Xbox. Play for fun. Just chillin.

I'd like to know if any other real life products were advertised in the game too

For context, before Crackdown 2 was released and still in it's stages of development. The Publishers of the IP (Microsoft Studios) decided to do a limited time event for fans of the franchise, and whoever was the top three to win the said contest with the most votes, would've had their artworks featured in the game. One in particular that stuck out, was a fanwork graffiti made of the Cartel from the first game. One of the three that had won, and was now secretly in the game somewhere as a result according to what the post said. I was searching both in and out to try and see if this rumoured "graffiti" artwork was actually in the game as it was mentioned to be. To absolutely no luck, I never got the chance of ever finding it despite my efforts. As time went by I eventually went through a stage of beginning to give up, simply thinking that the developers either forgot to put it in, or the entire thing was a complete hoax altogether.

Low and be hold, all these years later... It has finally been found!

The actual artwork itself:

Anybody else want to see a new Crackdown game like Crackdown 3 before the developer went to work on Fortnite? I think there should be a Crackdown 4 or a new Crackdown game with better and physics and a much better map.

I know a lot of people don't really like Crackdown 2 but there are some elements that I think are unique, for example the evolution of your character.

One thing that I think stands out from Crackdown 2 is the helmet and the power moves, some of these moves aren't in Crackdown 3, for example, the power charge and the power stomp.

I think to make it fair we should be able to make our choice to wear a helmet when customizing our character.

The power shoes were also missing as well, and I kind of like the originality of the first and second game because the graphics had more detail. Crackdown 3 kind of got the theme down, but I think the character and armor looked a lot more masucline in the first and second game.

I think to make it fair we should be able to make our own choice to wear a helmet when customizing our character. I think armor customization would be nice as well.

Most of all, the vehicles would also evolve in the first game and that was one of my favorite features. I also miss using the helicopter I think a harrier jet type of vehicle would be nice, as well as realistic environments.

The combat could also be improved imo, a lot of it was simple which made it unique, however, it would be nice to be able to pick which fighting style we would like to use.

If I'm being completley honest I don't really like the new map in Crackdown 3 it was kind of bland and I would rather play in the city from Crackdown 1 with a new city or a much more expanded map.

Also, they should include a setting to turn off the damage points numbers, I think they are annoying and they kind of ruin the clear picture and artistry of the game.

Another idea I had is to include a new special ability where you can recruit civilians with a case that allows them to become a temporary ally like the armor suitcase in Iron Man 2. Do you have any good ideas that you might be willing to share for the game if there is a brand new game or a Crackdown 4?

Xenia is an Xbox 360 emulator that has been developed for years now.

In the latest Canary build, Crackdown 1 and 2 run at a locked 30 fps for me without any major issues.

If I try the regular build, I only get about 15 fps when looking toward the city and the game will crash whereas the Canary build even lets me run the game at fast forward and never crashes.

I am on a 5800X3D with 3733 MT/s DDR4. I assumed I would need a CPU at least 2x as fast per core to maintain 30 fps when I first tried Xenia with Crackdown 1 and 2.

I haven't been able to get it to scale to 2160p, only playing at 1080p right now. Back to playing Crackdown!

I really hope the announce another crackdown game maybe even a remake of 1 or 2

Exactly what it says on the tin, if you were able to somehow add a 4th gang to the original Crackdown or just, have an idea for a Crackdown gang in general, what would you come up with? I actually already have one, they’re called Twisted Heart, they’re like a hedonist, self-indulgent cult with an aesthetic that combines rave culture with the occult

I've only played 2 and was definitely one of my top fav games on the 360. In my opinion underrated.
