re: Crackdown 3 why the hate?

It's a better looking, better playing version of Crackdown.

I think that's the problem. Crackdown came out in 2007. You can't release a shinier version of that in 2019 and expect it to be received well. The earth didn't stand still during that time and gaming evolved a bit.

If their goal was a better looking Crackdown they should have just released a remastered version instead of the years of development hell Crackdown 3 went through.

I have no personal opinions on the game, but that is the gist of what I've gathered based on comments and reviews.
