Why are people complaining about timers in demos? Its an open world game, you can't expect complete free roam with an unlimited amount of time.

Because that is the whole point of an open world/sandbox style of game. The ability roam around and do anything without worries of time constraints or missions. You can do the missions at your leisure without being affected by time inbetween them. You can appreciate the world the developers created, you can find crazy things to due with the physics engine. If I were a developer, I would want to showcase that as best as possible in a demo to entice people to buy the game. Its just plain common sense. There are other ways to limit the demo from being a full retail game. Such as the barriers that are already in-place in the demo to keep you from venturing to other parts of the city.

I do not want to have to re-form a party for co-op every 30 minutes. Takes away from the fun factor. Its about the total consumer experience and I do not really get that feeling when I play the demo as is. Other games outside of the sandbox world are different as they do not have the open world style of play but instead a more linear game where you are already engaged in a mission. You have as much time as you want to complete the mission but when the mission is complete, that is where demos are cut off. But at the end of the day you are more than welcome to disagree its your right.

Its a demo thou, not a full game. Buy the game if you want the full features of it.

That would be true, if I were asking for the full features of the game. But I am not. I am not asking for them to unlock all the weapons, I am not asking them to let me max out my character, I am not asking them to give me access to all the missions, I am not asking for access to the whole city. See what I am getting at, just asking for the time restraint to not be there. I do not want access for a full game, just a demo that can be enjoyed.

Anwyways to each his own. Enjoy the demo in your own right, I will enjoy or not enjoy it in mine.

is it me or are the graphics really bad? (ie worse than the first game?) im kinda undecided about this

I noticed that the graphics seemed darker and grittier which I think is throwing people off. I do not neccessarly think the graphics are worse, just slightly different. Some areas look decent, and others not so much.

Graphics are complete garbage in this game. Crackdown 1 was better as far as graphics go. Crackdown 2 is fun as heck though.

Found out today you can stick satchel charges to people and remote detonate so I stuck one a dudes face.

-Also had some funny commmentary. Threw a satchel charge at a guy on the oil rig and he said <snipped> and jumped in the water.

Harpoon gun, still awesome. Love driving a vehicle around with bodies stuck all over the vehicle.

MAG grenades, awesome.

UV shotgun is cool for the freaks, but i found a telphone pole melee is much more fun.

Buggy on the streets wilth freaks everywhere is sweet to.

Man I've just heard Ruffian only had 8 months to turn this around for release. I've seen more time given to expansions. Explains why it feels so much like the first though. Not sure if it warrants ?35 though. ?25 maybe!

What do you mean "turn it around for release"? They've been working on it longer than that. It was shown last year at E3 remember.

The game does play like the first but it was a better replay value IMO. I know I might be spending my $60 and not even want to touch it later on but, it's the only thing coming out that looks like its worth my time until Gears 3. Sadly.

They added a bunch, graphics don't bother me that much as it was expected. I can't wait to play with the helicopter.

True. I saved enough ducks. I'm trying to figure out when you know you unlocked the retail version weapon. I've completed all 6 stages (hours of work). On top of that, my duck is only about half way and my high-score is like 75k. Wtf?

I hate the fact these games are always male-only characters. No females. YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR CHARACTER, but it _HAS_ to be a guy.

I'm tired of everything being male protagonists. I wanna be able to make a female character in something WITHOUT IT BEING AN MMORPG or something stupid like that! Give me a SHOOTER with a customizable female for once.

Brink, Modern Warfares, TF2, Crackdown, etc.. all sausagefest games.

Sounds like the game industry. Complaining about it won't change it.

Then what will change it? Because I'm sick of it. I'm tired of it always being guys. The only games girls get to be the star of are very specialized single player games (Metroid, Portal, Tomb Raider, etc) and often don't have a (decent) multiplayer, or MMOs.

Check out the new awesome highly mature game, you can assassinate people or blow people up or steal cars or shoot each other or whatever! You MUST however be a male, there is no way around it! Sigh...

So many good games ruined by corporate sexism. I guess they only believe women are capable of being supermodels with huge ###### and not warriors or soldiers with a gun.

Women getting a job in it. That's pretty much the only way to change the gaming industry.

From what I know over 95% of the industry is male...I don't really know the finer details off the top of my head.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
