"Halo 3 Beta...featuring Crackdown." Just kidding. Crackdown turned out to be a pretty decent game.

TheSadTruth6270d ago

keyword... decent

I wish they would sell Halo 3 for $25 or something so I don't have to completely waste $50...

eques judicii6270d ago

if i get about 20 hours of play from a game then i haven't completely wssted the 60 dollars... and that exctly whats happening with crackdown...

Schmitty076270d ago (Edited 6270d ago )

Everyone on my friend's list is playing it and so am I. Co-op is so awesome. I've probably got at least 15 hours into this already and I only just finished out the first gang.

Edit: Wow, the demo is in the top ten as well.

i suck at gears i get a chain saw to face or get tag by a frag granade, havent open crackdown yet cause i havent finish r6v, cod3 and lost planet...cant open crackdown cause i know i will get addicted to it and i wont be able to finish the other games that i havent finish yet but when its all done i will play it...

whats up with papper boy being #1 XBLA
is me but whats up with his voice i dont remember him talking do you guys?

eques judicii6269d ago

i am in total agreement with you... i've got lost planet, enchanted arms, table tennis, and viva pinata all sitting on the back burner while i play crackdown... i didn't think it was possible to be upset with a console because you have too many games to play... march is going to destroy me... or no games will get finished at all... 1500 achievement points by april is going to be super easy

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756101d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00101d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic101d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica101d ago (Edited 101d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack102d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing102d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic101d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos102d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin102d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris102d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine101d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz102d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin106d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack106d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69106d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07106d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn106d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid106d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog106d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992106d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
