Kiss This Game Goodbye, I Think

I’m about done with Crackdown 3. I’ve been chasing achievements and playing a little multiplayer, but I’m losing my interest. I may go play Wargroove instead.

Chapman's the Chapstick

I wandered around the city looking for orbs and boosting my driving skills. I got to level 5 on all skills. When level 5 is full, you max out. I think I have to max out my driving to unlock the Agency Vehicle, but I’m really tired of the terrible driving controls in the races. Driving in the world isn’t so bad, but in races you have to use the vehicles they want you to use. I started to get the hang of it to some degree, getting a few gold and silver medals, but it’s a chore, and I don’t like it.

I’m still looking for the last of the enemy assets to destroy (I’m not even sure what constitutes an asset), and destroy the last Monkey Barrell beer store, which could be anywhere. I’m tempted to continue looking for those because I like exploring. I could even hunt down the last of the agility orbs. They tell you how many you have in each district which narrows it down a lot. I think it’s possible to do without a crazy amount of trouble. So, maybe I’ll do a few more things.

I’d like to try Wargroove though. It’s a turn-based strategy game compared to Advance Wars. I am intrigued.

I'm surprised how popular Crackdown 3 has been. Wargroove looks great!

I've heard a lot of criticism but if it's popular, that's a good thing. It's sure fun getting the alert level up and battling like crazy against the swarms of enemy forces. 

I just watched IGN's review of Wargroove. I'm excited to play it.

I think part of that popularity may be due to how many people got it for free ... kind of like Rocket League in 2015, only here a lot of people seem not to love Crackdown 3.

Not looking good on metacritic right now. 60.

I heard the new Crackdown isn't so good. Wargroove seems fun though.

The more I play, the more I like, but I still hate the driving races in the game. When I'm in a vehicle race, I think the game is just terrible, but then I climb a building, launch some rockets, grab an orb at lunch, and I'm happy again.

Take a couple of days off from the game. It sounds like some burnout is starting to happen. Maybe Wargroove would be a good game to get into and shift your focus.

I was definitely burning out yesterday, but today, I got right back in there. I'm challenging myself more and more.
