    Eh, it's just like falling out of building during one of the Decker missions. It'd be too troublesome to reset or account for players with no fall damage.

    There's plenty of skydiving opportunities. :P

    Replaying SR 3 now, and I am reminded of how much I hate Escort. After failing the one by the airport like 5 times, my next 3 "retries" was just running over the client right away for revenge before exiting out, calling up zimos and filling him full of bullets and grenades for such a stupid activity.

  • manwiththemachinegunmanwiththemachinegun METAL GEAR?! Registered User regular
    SR3 escort is way easier than SR2 though. You might want to level up your guns a bit more.

  • GeddoeGeddoe Registered User regular
    Not snatch, escort. Where you drive the ho around, you can't use guns.

  • heenatoheenato Alice Leywind Registered User regular
    That still doesn't make it fun. It's still the worst activity in SR3, like it was in 2.

    choosing the worst option between snatch and escort is pretty difficult, but i think i'd hand it to snatch

    This might sound off topic, but what ever happened to Crackdown? The series just kinda vanished.

    Ah, have you tried stealing a tank?

    That usually fixes escort missions.

    The developer of the first game in the series went out of business after making APB. The second game got utterly raked over the coals, and Microsoft hasn't gone back to it.

    Wasn't Crackdown 2 basically just a extremely obviously revamped Crackdown 1? And Crackdown 1 wasn't even very good, it just broke ground for superhero games for the then-new next-gen systems; even then, it was probably the Halo 3 pack-in demo that sold more copies of Crackdown than anything else.

    If the same guys who made the first game also made APB, that would explain a lot about how APB managed to tank so badly.

    Yup, Crackdown 2 was super derivative, but I think you're misremembering the original. Because Crackdown 1 was pretty awesome. It had some rough spots, but overall? Really solid concept and some fun execution.

    APB was a brilliant idea that just needed a little more time in the incubator. I played the Hell out of it when it came out, sank 50 hours into it. Open world emergent team-based PvP? Brilliant! Exploitable terrain vs. not enough game-iness? Very unfortunate.

    Crackdown 1 also had the 'go anywhere at anytime and kill the bosses in any order you see fit'. It was pretty ballsy to allow the player to basically do whatever.


    And now I really want to play it :(

    Crackdown 2 had an amazing framework laid down, in terms of engine and gameplay. But they put a pretty shitty game on top of it.
    If it were on PC, I'm pretty sure Idol would fix it.

    I turned it into a flyable vehicle that I named the Death Orb. Does that count?

    Snatch starts out reasonable and then becomes a pain towards the end. Starting with a four door car that's been thoroughly upgraded is a must as is switching cars every now and then later on. That easily gets screwed over if there are no four door cars around to steal. It highlights how relying on more notoriety stars to spawn in more enemies for difficulty is really annoying and lazy mission design.

    I prefer it to hooker escort though but for some reason below the totem pole compared to tiger escort.

    An Initiation Station style demo for SR4 was confirmed by Volition a little while back. At E3 they announced it would be called the Inauguration Station this time, which made me smile.

    That's great news and a fantastic name. I hope it comes out soon!

    The Initiation Station dropped two weeks before the release of SRTT. Figure maybe August 6th? Isn't quite as awesome as dropping on All Saints Day.

    That's the day before my birthday. I'll take it.

    It's pretty much my birthday that's going to fund the purchase of the game, god willing.

    Crackdown always makes me confused as to why nobody has made a game where you can like make your own super hero in an open world. Like A single player or co-op city of heroes essentially.

  • manwiththemachinegunmanwiththemachinegun METAL GEAR?! Registered User regular
    Because super heroes are supposed to keep property damage and civilian deaths to a minimum.

    Who wants that in an open world game? ;)

  • ProhassProhass Registered User regular
    well you could start out as a super, and then depending on what you do you become a hero or villain. Even though in this scenario everyone would end up being villains

    If you choose being a hero, you get a bunch of stuns. You can even Spider-Man the thugs and leave them for the police.

    You know, even if I were only mildly interested in SR4, I would gladly pre-order it just to support Volition and Deep Silver for not being THQ-holes. THQ dying was probably the best thing that ever happened to the SR series.
