The Official Thread to Justify your purchase of Crackdown.

With so many threads about crackdown on these boards I thought I'd help out. Whether you need to justify your purchase and claim you don't even plan to play the beta, or just want to admit that you only bought it for the beta this is the thread to do it in. It also could be that you want to share how great you think the game is, or you just need to set the record straight and claim that you pre ordered long before any beta announcement. Whatever your reasons you are welcome here.

kieran88 still looks to be in denial, but other than that it looks like we are getting some good honest answers here.

Alright, here is my story. I tried getting into the H3 beta in the first two phases, and missed the cut. I then heard about the beta being included with Crackdown. When I first heard about it, I wasnt going to get the game, because a few of my buddies got selected in phase 1 of the beta, and I am always over at their place, so I figured I would just play it there. I did download the Crackdown demo, and actually enjoyed it, so I figured I would get the game, AND get the H3 beta.

homecourt will be boring in less than 6 hours

guarenteed.

Im done buying games, I rather just spend 260 or so dollars a year on gamefly, most games I buy arent worth buying, FNR3, nba 2k7, r6 vegas have been the only games truly worth it, the other 19 or so games I have werent.

The games nowadays dont have the legs they used to

I'm getting it for the BETA. It's a good game (judging by the demo and the reviews), but it doesn't look like I'll be playing it for more than a week.

i swear people that post "with too many threads already the soultion is yet another by me" threads should be banned.   post in the best already existing thread if there are too many.  i hate it when the player late to the game wants to make the rules,  shouldda came earlier instead of claim jumping.

[QUOTE="WillT12345"]The Official Thread to Justify your purchase of Crackdown.

With so many threads about crackdown on these boards I thought I'd help out. Whether you need to justify your purchase and claim you don't even plan to play the beta, or just want to admit that you only bought it for the beta this is the thread to do it in. It also could be that you want to share how great you think the game is, or you just need to set the record straight and claim that you pre ordered long before any beta announcement. Whatever your reasons you are welcome here.

the problam with this game is that after 4-3 hours you feel that "been there , dont that" feeling , after you get all the good weapons on you restore points , and finish half of the "small boses" you get sick of it , trust me this game isnt worth the money , dont believe i got the game? check VeRKK or my signature(hope its there)) and you see that this game is good but not superb , there is no depth at all to the game , the storyline is way straight frwrd then it should be. if you want my advice or help send prive msg or add my gamertag send me a request :)

They don't, this was more of a joke or at least a sarcastic thread. I was just trying to point out that fact that so many people have come into the forums to justify why they bought the game, either for the beta or the game.

Most likely you will be able to rent the game however there most likely won't be an invitation in the rental box for the beta.

I'm having a good time playing the game with my friends... sure it won't be the longest game i've played but it's fun so far...

it's like mercenaries without the item ordering and super powers instead
