Random Lady in Crackdown 3: We need a hero, not this *Those who finished Crackdown 1 and 2* Players: Well your shit out of luck because The Agency ain't that
Love that crackdown was too good in story writing that most casual people don’t even know the truth behind the agency not even me until I saw CD1s ending with 2 being the one i played first
Playing Mercenaries 1 moving to 360 into playing Crackdown 1 as a kid will forever cement these sandbox games for me, I cannot get my fix from modern games even if they promise similar things, truly a legendary time.
Fun fact according to gameinformer originally crackdown 2s story was going to be a bit different. The protagonist was initally named Peter and they were the reason the plague exists through some accident
God I hate the trope of the magic mineral/goo/whatever that's simultaneously a miracle cure, power source and superweapon depending _entirely_ what the writers need it to do any given minute.
Hey Migamations, I just not too long ago discovered your video and watched it all. But I would like to thank you for shedding some light and attention to the original lore from the first two game, especially the first game. If you didn't know, I have been so fascinated with the lore of Crackdown and Crackdown 2. And I have over the years been discovering a lot of newly secret information hidden in the first games open world that contributes to the secret lore of the first game, I know so much about the first game and the second that I've been ultimately dubbed as the: "Crackdown Theorist" by the people in Servers, the Subreddits, and the Wikis themselves as more time has gone by. I'm still to this day investigating and delving into more hidden lore of the first game, and I would like to personally thank you for mentioning my contributions to the franchise and the community when it comes to knowledge of the series. It honestly shocked me to hear some of the stuff I posted on the Wiki and so on. Thank you, Petrol.
@@huskycruxes7232 How the fuck is that a flex? Because I made one message explaining how I discovered secret potential details in Crackdowns lore? Lmao.
Crackdown could’ve and should’ve become Xbox's answer too infamous. The same way Alan Wake could’ve become Xbox's answer to Uncharted.?But Sony doesn’t even care about Infamous and the majority of PlayStation IPs. Even Xbox barely cares about Halo and Gears of War anymore.
I agree about it being an answer to Infamous. Then there was also Sunset Overdrive. Microsoft dropped the ball with Alan Wake. They wouldn't greenlight a sequel so Remedy took the publishing rights, and went to Epic. I get the comparison, but AW & Uncharted weren't similar enough for that. Plus, Microsoft had pulled that timed-exclusive crap with Rise of the Tomb Raider because Phil Spencer is a big Uncharted fan, and wanted a game like that for them.
I firmly believe everyone with an xbox 360 has this game somewhere. Copies of crackdown 1 practically grow on trees, grab one for like 5 bucks if you don't have it you won't regret it
Crackdown 1 and 2 are also free digitally Not like Gamepass free but FREE free, my copies of Crackdown 1 and 2 went missing but I saw they where free digitally on the Xbox Store
This was one of my first games I got for the 360, the other two being Mirror's Edge and Halo 3, so it's weird seeing someone look back on this franchise like a historical artifact - well, I guess it is now. I feel old now, thanks pal.
Just to make it worse, kids born on the day of Minecraft's first build are now in high school and kids born on GTA 5's release are now in middle school.
I always thought this game’s connection to Saints Row was interesting. Crackdown’s premise of taking down multiple gangs was highly reminiscent of Saints Row but with superpowers then Saints row completely ripped of Crackdown’s gameplay in Saints Row 4.
When I first played Crackdown, I tried take on Shai-Gen first, but didn't stand a chance since I didn't know about the difficulty difference with each gang. So then I killed two Los Muertos generals then took out The Volk gang, went back and killed the rest of the Los Muertos with ease then the Shai-Gen. You're not alone, Crackdown 2's my favorite of the trilogy as well. I wish Crackdown 3 would've continued in that direction, and improved on it.
to give these games some credit, they are like the very first free to play game on the 360 I can think of. Like for free to play there was this, Doritos crash course, and harms way one of my favorite racing games of all time
That very _very_ final boss made me wish he left off with the line "I'll get you next time, -Gadget- Agent!" It was such a cheesy voice to put on, only a shame they didn't do something equally cheesy with it.
Dope video. Love how you agree that crackdown 2 was hands down the most fun to play in the franchise. Besides the repetitive objectives, gameplay and pretty much everything else improved imo. Also loved how you shouted out the crackdown 1 menu music. It just captures the vibe perfectly and I felt like I was the only one who felt that way. Keep it up dude Excited to see what’s next !
First Crackdown I played was 2 and it was a really good time, watching how Crackdown 3 turned out is like "maybe we didn't need a trilogy" there were so many ideas as you said but lack of polish even the Agency car is a clunky Arkham Batmobile, I also don't get the point of retconning Goodwins character at all if you have one corporate overlord just say "screw it I'd have two of them"
I feel like direction and story of 3 just ruins any fun a returning player will ever have. A series that fades into obscurity only to be remembered in silly little youtube videos
I don't hate the story either but the Environment to it just makes everything feel grey, climbing puzzles to the bosses fantastic but that dopamine only lasts so long.
29:35 As a living embodiment of history Back in 2007 when this game came out, a friend from my class told me about this game where you play as a super human and you get to be really powerful. The main thing that got me interested in this game when i was 14, was that you could get strong enough to throw busses and fall from tall buildings and do a super hero landing. I had to ask my dad to take me and he bought it for me at Circuit City, i remember it so clearly lol But sorry for the rant, the main thing i wanted to chime in was that if you bought the game, it came packaged with a code for the halo 3 beta, MEANING that a lot of those crackdown purchases were just a way for people to join the halo 3 beta. I wasnt one of them because me and my brother didnt get xbox live until halo 3 came out. Sigh.
1:39:00 the in-game subtitles are wrong here, he said "viper's next" which is an actual saying rather than "bottomless nest" and also make sense in the context of the snakeskin boots comment
I honestly feel like New Providence as a city is fine, my biggest issues with Crackdown 3 are a) the tone of the game. There was always a silly side to the games but it's weird that they made it a central focus for Three. b) Why can't we make our own agents? I like that this is the first entry that I as a woman can play as a woman but my god let me just make a character. also it's weird to me that all the agents have their last names on their chest??? i think that's a bit unsafe??? c) i very much prefer the agency vehicles of 1 and 2. I just don't feel that the transformation is really worth it but I also miss the truck of 1. d) why boss fights though? like the combat in this game is kind of fun, but I dislike how every boss is very linear to deal with. The best part of 1 is the freedom that you have to deal with them. and their bases. Literally all they have to do to make a Good crackdown game is to basically do 1 in a new city and expand on it a little. I liked the abilities that 2 and 3 added so keeping those could be cool (i like the dashing and jump jets of 3 and the gliding of 2) I think 3 could have been a good game, and it was completely ruined by the fact that the people who made it didn't understand what people liked about the original.
I have such good memories of both Crackdown 1 and 2, the first game for just the first feeling of 'next gen' back at the age of 8 (that and viva pinata) and 2nd for just having a blast in coop with my friends back then, ah good times, they weren't perfect but they were just so fun!
"That Peacekeeper had a wife and family. Maybe you want to be the one who breaks the bad news to him." ...the bad news that he has a wife and family? Did they mean to write "them" instead of "him"? That's such a confusing line...
I appreciate you talking about Crackdown 2's bugs. Attaching magnets to the concrete barrier club and sprinting around with it was just crazy fun. I don't think I'll ever replay Crackdown 2 tho. It was good but my current taste in games is on the shorter side, so I think I'd end up skipping around and not appreciating the whole game just to hit credits and say I'm done.
i keep wondering who was Crackdown 3 was made for. You haven't been able to sell games off gimmicks since the 2000s and if you're ignoring the source material as well, you're losing the fans of the name brand too.
@@Migamations it's definitely one of those types of people who just see the IP as a cash grab and not trying to evolve it into something better or more, That's why I'm hoping if they ever do decide to make another one. They'll continue with the narrative of the agency being a power hungry Shadow organization at that point
Play 1 and 2 (and three if you want too, you don't have too) because they are fun Crackdown 1 and 2, along with The Keys To The City DLC (adds in some more weapons and vehicles for both games) are completely free to own on Xbox, no Gamepass required
man I sunk so damn many hours in to crackdown 2, it becomes an absolute power trip simulator innlate game in a fantastic fashion.. Crackdown 3 was a massive let down.. great video!! some of it hit that absolute nostalgia..
Man I wish these games would've had a PC port. Even if you'd have to patch out games for windows live it still would be really cool to get this without needing to go buy an Xbox again
Never played the series, never watched anything on the series and yet I was just thinking about it. Then this pops up in my feed. The Orange Oracle has led me here.
Looks like this Crackdown 3 might have taken what might have been the story of 3 that could have continued from the second game. At least the basic idea anyway. Before I got to the part of the video where you talked about 3, I was thinking that you played the clone of Agent 8 to help take down Agency, the public good guy with the help of the public bad guy who is actually the good guy, Cell. Not gonna lie, I was bummed that 3 didn't continue from 1and 2. Though I never played any of the games.
It's a shame that the Crackdown franchise went down with 3. At least we have the games, while we still can enjoy it on xbox. 26:28 I'm curious to what that song is, I don't recall it being there in the first Crackdown.
Great video! For me the first Crackdown is my favourite because I just have fond memories of playing it for the first time and killing one of the bosses by throwing a truck at them. Crackdown 2 I was always sort of middle of the road on. I enjoyed the gameplay but I always felt like it didn't quite properly fit as a sequel mainly because most of the backstory of the freaks and stuff, is in audio logs which lost people won't go out of their way to find and also because of them removing certain things like evolving cars and us only having 4 faces to choose from. Crackdown 3 is a strange case. On the one hand it is a good game and a fun time with a pretty acceptable story but it isn't a true sequel. To me it feels like they started to do a sequel/reboot with the original writer and then once he left they tried to continue doing a reboot without using any of the old gangs (the names of which probably belong to the old writer/developer). I hope we get another crackdown game because they are stupidly fun timewastes. I don't care if it doesn't make sense, just let me jump stupidly high, throw cars at people and blow up buildings. Job done
Personally I love deep diving into lore and story. The new powers of CD2 gave more option to mess around in the sandbox. Also just love post-apocalyptic settings so the game hits a lot of checkboxes for me, but definitely well said on your part. Couldn't agree more
@Migamations I'm replaying CD2 right now because your video made me want to. Honestly the only thing missing from it is more customisation of the cars like you could in the first game. Also the thrusters? AMAZING
I got Crackdown super late. When Gamepass or watevr first started on the 360. I saw it on G4 and it looked auper cool but didn't really do for me what i hoped it would.
I'll be honest, I've only played Crackdown 3, played it on Gamepass, really enjoyed driving around the physics defying car to drive up walls and jumping around collecting the orbs, I seem to be the only one who thoroughly enjoyed it as this game to just pick up and play and then finish and forget about 😂
The fact "Crackdown 2" is your favorite already discredits this entire video... that and the casual racism towards any nationality that is not your own. :I
I'm pretty sure he said in the video he's Mexican as well, and no one other than Mexicans can even come up with those jokes. I'm tired of people trying to white knight for us, we aren't defenseless bruh, and we poke fun at our own people constantly. I doubt you even believe that I'm Mexican too cause my name profile name isn't Senor Miguel Rodriguez, typing in English and not Spanish, and I don't have a Mexican flag in my profile picture, get bent

That menu theme for CD1 still gives me chills
honestly, you know its a good one when you think about it without even playing the game
That theme made me a DJ Krush fan. I listen to some of his albums.
Driving at night playing it makes me feel like the coolest mf
The narrator in this series is the same narrator in Hunter X Hunter, and that makes it way more fun

Fallout...... 😞
@@Grogeous_Maximusmarvel and Disney have done the damage.
@@wiwysova thats the same thing.
But hes right, many of this is people copying early marvel. Which equates to the quip writing of Joss Whedon.

Minor aside, the toy box and vehicle dlcs were not initally free. At some point Microsoft just... made the entire series and its dlc free.

The first game is the deifnetly one of the most fun open world games out there. Its a tragedy its trapped on a dying console.

I can see the charred remains of my house from here
crackdown was that game everyone was surprised had a crazy story
I used to play Crackdown Co-op all the time, it was a real blast. Sandbox games have become a real lost art
When I first played Crackdown, I tried take on Shai-Gen first, but didn't stand a chance since I didn't know about the difficulty difference with each gang.
So then I killed two Los Muertos generals then took out The Volk gang, went back and killed the rest of the Los Muertos with ease then the Shai-Gen.
You're not alone, Crackdown 2's my favorite of the trilogy as well. I wish Crackdown 3 would've continued in that direction, and improved on it.

By the time Crackdown 3 came out, Saints Row IV already did it better.

It was such a cheesy voice to put on, only a shame they didn't do something equally cheesy with it.

ditto
The irony of the first game being the best in the series.
Not gonna lie but Crack Down lore is legitimately fantastic.
I have never played any crackdown game but this video is incredibly engaging and pretty high production quality. Good on you sir.
Honestly in GTA SA, my favorite line is Smoke's line to the Vagos. Always makes me laugh
"At least your game came out, unlike Concord" caught me completely off guard
This video alone gives a good reason to dust off and boot up the xbox.

Crackdown 3 is a strange case. On the one hand it is a good game and a fun time with a pretty acceptable story but it isn't a true sequel. To me it feels like they started to do a sequel/reboot with the original writer and then once he left they tried to continue doing a reboot without using any of the old gangs (the names of which probably belong to the old writer/developer).
I hope we get another crackdown game because they are stupidly fun timewastes. I don't care if it doesn't make sense, just let me jump stupidly high, throw cars at people and blow up buildings. Job done
Personally I love deep diving into lore and story. The new powers of CD2 gave more option to mess around in the sandbox. Also just love post-apocalyptic settings so the game hits a lot of checkboxes for me, but definitely well said on your part. Couldn't agree more
@Migamations I'm replaying CD2 right now because your video made me want to. Honestly the only thing missing from it is more customisation of the cars like you could in the first game. Also the thrusters? AMAZING
@@tylercale69 lol, it looks i did my job then
@Migamations You did! Absolutely great video! TH-cam actually did it's job recommending a video I was interested in 🤣
Bro is Crackdown 2 just a Dredd prequel? Is this the story of how Judges became a thing? Even the genetic super soldier thing makes ties in.
I love Crackdown and Crackdown 2. For me, those are the best Xbox 360 exclusives ever.
I got nothing more to say.
I got Crackdown super late. When Gamepass or watevr first started on the 360. I saw it on G4 and it looked auper cool but didn't really do for me what i hoped it would.
Why would You say Matt Booty's name like that 1:37:04 😂😂😂😂
I played the shit out of crackdown 1!!!
Nice video, better than platinum ones
tysm, I think having the freedom to make non-linear videos and especially cut parts i feel are boring really helps

The first 2 games with dlc's r free on xbox

i stroke my chad till i r
All the Crackdown games look cartoonish
Never heard of it
well now you have
It really is disappointing had a lot of potential tho
I'll be honest, I've only played Crackdown 3, played it on Gamepass, really enjoyed driving around the physics defying car to drive up walls and jumping around collecting the orbs, I seem to be the only one who thoroughly enjoyed it as this game to just pick up and play and then finish and forget about 😂
It is kind of a good game to turn your brain off and listen to a podcast or something, which is fine.
yea but dont forget,it WAS the best game that came out at that time,we evolved gaming,only reason why it fell off 🤦
Oh hi First Citizen Lynette.
The fact "Crackdown 2" is your favorite already discredits this entire video... that and the casual racism towards any nationality that is not your own. :I
you shouldnt try to shut down Mexican voices just because you disagree with us. You Racist
I'm pretty sure he said in the video he's Mexican as well, and no one other than Mexicans can even come up with those jokes. I'm tired of people trying to white knight for us, we aren't defenseless bruh, and we poke fun at our own people constantly. I doubt you even believe that I'm Mexican too cause my name profile name isn't Senor Miguel Rodriguez, typing in English and not Spanish, and I don't have a Mexican flag in my profile picture, get bent
@@Doodoo-s7u doodoo you didn't have to shit all over him like that
Too soon
