13 Reasons 2019's Biggest Video Games Might Suck

9. So. Many. Reasons. - Crackdown 3

Why It Might Suck: If you've been even remotely following the development of Crackdown 3, this should be obvious.

First announced back at E3 2014, the game has suffered through a laboured production, with numerous delays, the curious downplaying of its much-hyped cloud destruction tech and even rumours of its cancellation.

While Microsoft should be vaguely commended for not just dumping the game and moving on, clearly it's been a rough time getting Crackdown 3 in ship shape, and from the pretty middling scraps of gameplay we've been shown, there's little reason to expect anything above heavily mixed reviews.

Why It Might Not: In total fairness, the more recent gameplay footage did boast stronger visuals than in previous trailers, and it looks kinda fun?

Obviously it helps that Microsoft is sensibly releasing the game on their Xbox Game Pass service, which will likely soften the fan and critical response at least a little.

After all, if it's a moderately enjoyable but technically roughshod game, it's far easier to forgive if you haven't just thrown down £45 for it.

Basically, there's virtually zero chance at this stage that Crackdown 3 is a great game, but it could be entertainingly disposable multiplayer mayhem, warts and all.
