Random fact: The dude who voice acted alex's brother is also the voice actor for delsin's brother in infamous second son, and delsin is also voiced by troy baker and in infamous second son, delsin's brother dies too, only diffrence is that delsin's brother dies at the near end unlike the crew
Still a shame such a great game will leave us, it felt so nice to play it with friends, just cruising on whatever road for countless of hours and relaxing with some music
There is actually a channel that organizes a fight with ubisoft to save this game. It is quite big already and we will start the action mainly in europe and australia, after the servers close. The channel is called Accursed Farms. Check the newest the crew video as every person will be helpful. (especially if you live in france and have proof of purchase, either on steam or ubi store)
it took me months to finish the story of the crew, mainly because I spent most of the time cruising and doing road trips (from La to New York, or from Detroit to Miami then to Las Vegas), the world is full of Easter eggs, there is big foot in the game, and many unique roads, for example I found a road that goes through a very wide big tree, I also found a junkyard of planes.
nothing beats cruising in your old american muscle car around las vegas and the salt lake, listening to Do I Wanna Know by Arctic monkeys...... it's just a different vibe, so unique..
I hate online only games with a burning passion. I remember being excited for Evil Dead The Game when they announced single player gameplay, but completely lost interest when they revealed it was online only.
I'm really glad you brought up the little sightseeing bits, it's one of the many little things that breathes more life into the world than the "everybody is happy!!" festival feeling of the crew 2
I messed up a couple years ago, and accidentally deleted my old email before moving everything to the new one. I was gonna get ahold of the companies and straighten it out (like I did Rockstar), but nah. I'm done. Any game tied to anything other than Steam I am boycotting. And it's crap like this. I went from being upset to absolutely not caring. From now on, I'm just sticking to retro games and retro inspired indie games. I am done with this AAA bullshit and all their DRM and stupid accounts. The old days, you bought a game, you played it. Didn't need patches. Didn't need the Internet. Didn't need 500 different accounts and a million clients. Just the game, the console, and a TV. I have grown to absolutely loathe modern gaming.
their would be two instances that when playing this game i would recreate the NFS the RUN sprint from SF to NYC in 2 to 3 in game days from being chased by west coast police to east coast state troopers and the adventures through the US was a wonderful ride through the beauty of the environment and elements around you as you witness new landmarks and activities along the way, this was my middle school years right here, sad to see it go. but it was never about the destination,it was the journey.
Thanks for covering this game! I'm glad I bought the Xbox "ultimate edition" from eBay two years ago and was able to play thru it before it's gone x.x All the content was on the disc itself, a true rarity! ^^ I always played it solo but it was fun to explore the map and find all the landmarks. I thought the tunnel sounds were especially good!
I couldn't agree more, I hope there is a big push in sales for GT Sport still, so that Sony (and other companies) see that patching online to offline is good for loyal customers, and a great and cheap alternative for new ones, i.e.: can't afford GT7 yet? Gonna buy GT Sports for now. Awesome video as usual, keep em coming!
my fav part of this game was choosing the longest race (around 1 and half an hour) and drive through the entire map with my friend. The LaFerrari and Koenigsegg Agera R were my fav, I redownload from time to time and just driving through the big ass map. Great game
And if the game wasn't packed enough with stuff already the Wild Run and Calling All Units expansions added even more stuff which brought me great joy. Especially with converting a Fiat 500 into a monster truck.
I found a glitch where, if you switched your car while you went in water, you would glitch under it and you could drive across the seafloor. MAN WHY DID THE GAME HAVE TO GO LIKE THIS, THERE WAS SO MUCH SEAFLOOR LEFT TO EXPLORE.
I understand servers need to shut down after a while, but refusing to publish the already-existing offline mode and make the entire game unplayable is too much. No more Ubisoft purchases until this is made right. Hopefully the community comes through like they did with Test Drive Unlimited.
Wanted to complete story mode before it closes but the game stopped working for me after launcher update a few weeks ago. I guess my only hope now is that offline patch would be made.
I'm really sorry to ask this again, but I was wondering what song you use in the background of this video? I've been trying to find it for a while but I can't seem to locate it
PRESS THEM with a massive CLASS action lawsuit and if enough people join they will be FORCED to fix it. Paying money for something digital = owning it FOREVER.
Knowing that ivory was partially made from eden games, and seeing the huge map and that insane trailer this game had, i instantly bought this game the moment it came out. and was kind of disappointed as i'm a tdu fan but, this game is genuinely good. Honestly it has 3 major setbacks only that dissapointed me when i was a kid and first got it - Physics, car list and story. I liked the story, but it could've been so much better. police implementation could've also been so much more fun but that i dont blame them for it was their first big game as a studio under horrid ubisoft. I can blame them for the other two though. the physics are just junky and so disappointing to me. so tiring. i want to drive through this entire map 20 times over but i just got so tired of the physics. not fun to cruise, barely acceptable to race with. I'll give them this - the multiplayer was really fun. i loved the minigames, i loved racing in multiplayer, it was honestly so solid and i spent most of my time there. regardless, this was a good game that couldve been so much more i believe. I hope they end up making an offline version accesible, or at least for there to be a cracked version or a file that unlocks it. I'd love to revisit this game sometime.
I just can't stand the appearance of the protagonist. He doesn't look like a ruggedy street racer. He looks like someone who'd make Twitter posts fawning over vegan chicken nuggets at McDonalds.
That's a very good and equally funny description of him. He also looks like someone who'd care and provide a lot for his partner's children without actually being their biological father. All these numale vibes! 😂
Man you are so off the mark, yeah I get the glasses and beard but he's more of a tired boomer ala gordon freeman or walter white (which everyone makes fun of him for looking like), this game and the characters were made before the millennial twitter bs anyway
Reality check: The Crew wasn't that good, and people have been telling you for years what was going to happen once EA pulled the plug, suck it up. NFS15 is next.
That's like saying '' Fact check: this album wasn't that good'' since it is your opinion doesn't mean everyone thinks the same lol.I liked the game a lot just for the map and customization alone. And it didn't have preaching which their newer titles have. But yeah it was going to happen and people still bought it. Hell people even bought TC Motorfest despite being always online while knowing about the shutdown of TC1. Just avoid always online and don't pay for their products. I sure as hell don't.
@@firstnamelastname6738 No except for The Crew Motorfest apparently, and somehow you've convinced yourself you're immune to criticism because you preach to the choir. I'm just here to hand out "I told you so's". That's literally the only reason I'm here, I don't care for your reasoning or your copes.
I played this game for the first time and finished it 15 days ago, and despite that, It made me feel nostalgic, it had the exploration and graphics of test drive unlimited 2 with the nfs mw 2012 filter and driver san fransisco ish story, it just took me back to the days when racing games were original and fun. Glad i played it before it's gone forever, it will be missed. 🫡
My favorite part of the crew was just a road trips. just cruising across the country and a badass car.Listening to some nice music
One hundred percent.
Ubisoft shutting down The Crew 1 servers is precisely the reason why i decided against buying Motorfest despite of how good that game is.
Ubisoft wants to Push always Online in every game.

For me it was always the Sine Wave Digital channel, but YES!
I hate online only games with a burning passion. I remember being excited for Evil Dead The Game when they announced single player gameplay, but completely lost interest when they revealed it was online only.
The worst is when they have no reason for the online-restriction.
Loved this game alot back in high school
It’s crazy how they hit it out of the park on their first go. Real shame the new ones can’t come close to the original
I'm really glad you brought up the little sightseeing bits, it's one of the many little things that breathes more life into the world than the "everybody is happy!!" festival feeling of the crew 2
Waiting the same scenario happens to The Crew 2 and Motorfest.
TC2 probably has like what 4 years now?
@@themaskedwander Probably sometimes in early 2028.
Yep, unfortunately.
Tc2 story is trash compared to tc1, and tcm is basically tc2 dlc so nothing of value lost if it gets shut down anyways

I have grown to absolutely loathe modern gaming.
Absolutely true! Not to mention Sony glitching out and deleting some players back-libraries. I feel less ashamed about emulating old stuff every day.
their would be two instances that when playing this game i would recreate the NFS the RUN sprint from SF to NYC in 2 to 3 in game days from being chased by west coast police to east coast state troopers and the adventures through the US was a wonderful ride through the beauty of the environment and elements around you as you witness new landmarks and activities along the way, this was my middle school years right here, sad to see it go.
but it was never about the destination,it was the journey.
Never heard of this game, but it looks incredibly fun. Ubisoft killing off games with always online sucks. What a shame.
i hope this video gets the views it deserves. Simply awesome and well made, storytelling entertained my adhd brain too
Thank you! I'm trying to be less dull in my vids.
You absolutely nailing it already@@thereviewden

Ooh, lucky! The monster, drag, and drift stuff looked fun.

Thanks buddy! Yeah, we need players to take back these parts of the industry, the corporate-types are pushing games to another crash.
my fav part of this game was choosing the longest race (around 1 and half an hour) and drive through the entire map with my friend. The LaFerrari and Koenigsegg Agera R were my fav, I redownload from time to time and just driving through the big ass map. Great game
Nice!! Those longer races were fun.
one of the best games of this century
Didn't the game degrade as the updates came and went? I remember ambulances driving around with their sirens on and can't see em around anymore.
I'm not sure.. I played it years ago, and all I remember being different was the HUD.
And if the game wasn't packed enough with stuff already the Wild Run and Calling All Units expansions added even more stuff which brought me great joy.
Especially with converting a Fiat 500 into a monster truck.
The extras looked like a lot of fun.
I hope at some point Ubisoft will change the crew 1's Online servers to offline. Same with PS3 games. I'm Really going to miss this game
It's a good day when the fox plushie posts another video! 🥰
Fox says ' Thanks!!!'
"Ross wants to know your location"
I found a glitch where, if you switched your car while you went in water, you would glitch under it and you could drive across the seafloor. MAN WHY DID THE GAME HAVE TO GO LIKE THIS, THERE WAS SO MUCH SEAFLOOR LEFT TO EXPLORE.

And it was all downhill from there. The other 2 entries haven’t hit like TC1
this games has a HUGE moding potential and make it the best unoficial racing game ever
Am I hearing TDU1's composed soundtrack in this video?
Fast 11 will be about street racing again
Don't ask me don't blame me
I'm really sorry to ask this again, but I was wondering what song you use in the background of this video? I've been trying to find it for a while but I can't seem to locate it
u should of seen The Crew before Wild Run update, it looked much better and had more variety
PRESS THEM with a massive CLASS action lawsuit and if enough people join they will be FORCED to fix it. Paying money for something digital = owning it FOREVER.
Never got to play this but looks fun. Is this what’s gonna eventually happen to The Division also when Ubisoft shuts down the server?
And Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It's sad.
@@thereviewdenIs there any way they could patch them to be able to play offline?
@@arioca Yes they could.. but they want to force us to buy their newer games instead.
Pfft the title though lmfao
You sound a lot like LGR. 😮
Heheh! Not intentional, but I enjoy his channel.
@@thereviewdenHope you make a lot more content, brother. Loving the 'old school' review style of your videos.

I like the original jumps before they were random loot kinda annoying platinum parts were hard to find
Why was the crew 1 so much better than 2 and Motorfest?
What is a DRM?
Daily Routine Manager 👨💼
This game had a Single Player Campaign? I didn't even know damn
Rip. At least the game lasted 10 years
9.5 years to be precise.
