Been waiting a long time for this game to get a release and it's finally happening on the 7th of November 2017.

How many people bought the first one just to play the halo beta and ended up loving the game?

The Crackdown demo got me hooked, so much so that my Xbox 360 died the day before release and rather than wait for an RMA I went out and bought a new Xbox. I absolutely love Crackdown, namely the orb hunting and total mayhem.

Sounds like a Grinder mini game.

Games which are similar to this are Saints Row 4 and Infamous. It's free roaming GTA style with superpowers and total mayhem. Plus it has coop.

Looks like it has slipped again, rain forest had it down for the 30th of April but I have received an email saying they don't have a delivery date now.

Kinda makes you wonder why and what is holding things up.

Not long to wait now. Anyone else getting this on release? It’s a play anywhere title so those with Xbox games pass can gain access on the pc.

Is that even for PC?

Yes. It's on Xbox and pc.

It's a play anywhere title ie you when you buy the digital version you can play it on both systems with one key. It's also on game pass which is a subscription service which is mainly for the Xbox but can be used on the pc ie all the play anywhere titles.

Yeah I grabbed this was only £1 last week so well worth that.

I will be looking for someone to play with?

I just checked ms store and this is only £2 right now for 2 months and that includes a load of other titles as well like forza and gears.

Game pass is a great service.

As for coop I have always done crackdown in single player first and then replayed it in coop. My OCD needs to find all those orbs first time round.

When you sign up for game pass leave reoccurring payments on and you should get an extra month free. Then once that’s all done and accepted just go back in and cancel the reoccurring payments. You will then get two months instead of one.

I'm looking forward to playing this. As long as it's similar to the first I will be fine.

I did over three hours on this last night spread across the Xbox one x and the pc. Both systems run well and the game seems fun. I like the way I can jump between platforms with the same save game.

Difficulty setting needs a bit of tweaking, normal is too easy and the next level up is a bit too hard. Other than that it seems like the Crackdown of old but with new visuals and some new additions ie Loads of guns to try out.

Did you encounter any of the stuttering on PC that Digital Foundry mentioned?

Now you mention it the pc wasn't as smooth as the Xbox and there was some stuttering at points.

Everything on the pc was on max settings and I was getting a locked 100 fps at 3440 x 1440. This was what the in game frame counter was showing.

I'm absolutely loving this game, it has the 'just five more minutes' effect on me.

I completed this at the weekend and thought it was great fun. Its a game I couldn't put down and ended up doing a good 4 hours a day which is totally unlike me. Its a game I will end up replaying again in either coop or single player.
