It is very similar to Origins where it mainly makes fast travel accessible. In Far Cry 5, you still climb towers, but not to open up the map. Ubisoft’s games as of late have slightly delved away from this, with Assassin’s Creed Origins having the map available to you by exploring it, but accessing fast travel icons via a tower. Even in a game where you do not climb up a tower, such as The Crew, you still had mechanics in which you acquire more portions of a map by going near a tower and pressing a specific button. Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, you are up to bat.ĭid I ever tell you the definition of please shutting up?Īssassin’s Creed 2 and Far Cry 3 really were the catalysts in bringing the open world design of climbing towers into every game released moving forward, whether it would be by Ubisoft or another publisher. Which then brings me to the template of open world games that I am okay playing in, but am tired of seeing all the time. They have no personality besides congratulating you on climbing another tower. But he, and the woman who you meet in the beginning of this game, are annoying as hell. He is the worst part of this game, save for a few moments of actually helping me find hidden orbs. In Crackdown 3, he references “My Milkshakes Bring All The Boys To The Yard.” He has this booming voice that most people remember him for saying “Skills for Kills” and stuff of this nature. One of the apparent hallmarks in the Crackdown franchise is the Director of the agency. When you have him quipping with the lowest audio mixing I have ever heard in a game, it disappoints me. In Crackdown 3, where you have Terry Crews as the main character and do nothing with him, it feels lifeless. It had personality through its music, its cast of characters, and the general tone it set to differentiate from other open world games at the time. The city felt alive but not in a way that would make it feel like a simulation in other games like The Witcher 3 or GTA V. Saints Row The Third made a lot of the decisions that is nowhere to be found in Crackdown 3, but also showcases how dated it felt compared to the saints. It wasn’t dealing with the powers and abilities similar to Crackdown until the fourth game, but it made an identity for itself in the same exact way Crackdown did, while also evolving the open world genre from there. But we fast forward to 2011, where Saints Row The Third evolved the franchise and started to make a name for itself. I really liked playing it at the time, which was in 2008 and I was 13 years old.

2 was where I began with the franchise due to owning a PS3 at the time. It had gangs, shitty dialogue from pimps, and a basic story. The Saints Row franchise started in 2006 as a very deliberate Grand Theft Auto copycat. I say all this while also being of the mind that I still enjoyed my time with it, even if everything else was as bland and empty as it was. Generic missions, lackluster bosses in both personality and mechanics, a general feeling of emptiness. But why does it feel dated? Mainly, because of how the game encompasses alot of the same design decisions that most open world games left behind, or are criticized for still having. 5 years later, it finally released and it already feels dated. There are stories abound of this title being delayed, then changing hands, then putting its coveted cloud technology only on the multiplayer, etc. It was 7 months after the launch of the Xbox One and the PR disaster that originally came with it. With Crackdown 3, this game was announnced in 2014 at E3. It also added new features, such as a new enemy faction, that players did not gravitate towards.

It later received a sequel that was heavily panned and loathed in 2010, in which it delved away from some of the key components of the franchise. Mostly, due to the game doing new mechanics and ideas in the open world genre that was unheard of at the time. I have never played this, but the general consensus I gather from reviews, critics, and people who owned an Xbox 360 at the time, garnered general praise. Crackdown 3 is the third title in a franchise held by Microsoft (Xbox Game Studios as of this writing) when its first title debuted in 2007. To delve into this, we need to go into how this game got to where it currently stands. But in actuallity, the discussions I really want to see start coming up is what is the template in which most people enjoy their open world games in?

I completed Crackdown 3 recently and there is a great discussion to be had on what it means to apply value to a game when you are able to play it through a Netflix style subscription via Xbox Game Pass at a very lower price, or paying a full $60 with taxes and such.
