Anyone playing Crossfire X ? It's downloadable now!

Remedy does know how to make a visual pleasing game.

But they alegedly (according to rumors at least) lost marketing rights on it due to annoyed Sony.

I don’t believe this one bit. MS only had the reveal, nobody had the marketing rights. Geoff probably just paid a hefty price to have it on his show because the show was otherwise trash without it (also why he placed it at the end).

What would Sony even do? Threaten to not let Bamco release on PS? That’d just hurt Sony.

Maybe not the optimal solution but you could just buy crossfirex-operation-spectre it’s only $9. They will add crossfire catalyst soon to Gamepass. Aren’t you going to buy spectre anyway? This way you won’t be fomo and can start enjoying the game. Just a suggestion. After playing Spctre I can say the game is cool. I like the Ray Traced graphics and the slow down gun play mechanic is pretty fun.

The plan wasn’t necessarily to buy it immediately, first definitely try out the free first campaign to feel what it’s like.

I hope they won’t soon give up on this game, meaning the MP here because despite the extremely floaty aiming it does play well, it’s fun but the floaty aiming ruins a lot. Hopefully that’s one of the first things they patch.

Crossfire is one of the most popular games worldwide and has been supported for a very long period already. That’s why it is strange this release is handled in the way it has been done. Remedy was already done with the campaign almost two years ago (!). So not sure why everything took so long.

I saw a tweet just now that MS overall with third party AAA hasn’t been lucky but I don’t completely agree with that. SO was fantastic, DR3 was definitely a fun time, more than that actually. And probably a few more, but it can be better. Game Pass had some great ones like Hitman Trilogy and Mass Effect LE, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Metro Exodus, but also not so great games with Outriders and Back 4 Blood.

Hoping we’ll see a significant improvement with this from here on out, it’s not only up to MS of course.

I was talking about 3rd party multiplatform marketing deals and yeah they were unlucky on most of them. Considering how weak was the Xbox One generation 3rd party AA/AAA exclusives were pretty decent (I love Sunset Overdrive too!), sometimes hindered by MS themselves like ReCore but they were mostly good games I agree.

Crossfire campaign looks really nice graphically from the videos I’ve seen plus it’s good to have a performance mode available.

Above is Series X.

Series S does NOT have the option of performance/graphics.

Okay so I feel since no one is defending this game so I need to advocate for it a bit. I’ve gone on record as saying it’s good and it’s fun. Does that mean it will make my top 10 list at the end of the year? Definitely not. However for people to say this game is trash is completely ridiculous. It’s literally only $9 too by the way. Maybe don’t expect Halo or Elden Ring here. Temper expectations, don’t be so hyperbolic, and try to have some fun when playing video games.

Here’s a clip I made just now. When I said that I play Remedy games by inspecting the world the destroying the world this is what I meant lol

I can’t say anything about the game because I couldn’t play it yet, fix your shit Smile gate or Microsoft

Yeah it’s still not on there. Someone on Reddit said he paid for both campaigns, yet the first one isn’t available to him.

I guess we’ll see after the weekend or so…I don’t get at all why this needs to take so long.

So, did Remedy bungle this game or what?

[GoroMajima]

@GamepadX

This game is a good. To call it trash makes me think you need to find another hobby.

I’m good with my hobby. I’ll call out games like this for being lazy cash grabs. Youre the only one defending it.

Nice to read an opinion from someone who isnt mercilessly dumping on this game. So far Ive enjoyed what ive played of the MP. B-TIER ftp shooter, but its better than similar games like black squad imo. In a way reminds me of America’s Army on ps4.

Though i personally expected literally nothing from it. I feel like some folks had their hopes up that this would be a big game for Xbox, and the fact that its not something that can be trumpetted as a great exclusive has resulted in some backlash.

“CrossfireX feels like a 15-year-old game that was remastered five years ago”

lol… yeah that seems spot on. But I like 15 year old games so its all good.

At this point Remedy is Platinum Games basically.

FYI for those who’ve been wanting to download it:

It looks like it’s back proper now. I know it showed up again yesterday, but wouldn’t start downloading if you tried. Looks like they fixed that now, as I’m currently at 25%.

Crossing my fingers.

In the Game Pass info on the game it says 7GB, that’s the same as the MP I got installed. It used to say 54GB. But maybe that was all wrong all along. Let’s redownload and hope the Catalyst campaign is not locked now.

54 Gb is what it’s grabbing for me now, so sounds like it might be the real deal.

Been looking forward to this one for a while. I’ve no interest in multiplayer, so the atrocious reviews for that don’t bother me. Nor does any one the criticisms I’ve seen of the single-player campaign. It’s brown. The protagonist has a cockney accent. The enemy faction has a forgettable name. Ok… Who gives a shit? Sounds to me like they’re reaching for bad things to say.

But who knows? Maybe I’ll be back later today saying it’s not very good. But until I get my hands on it I’ll continue to have faith in Remedy. I’ve yet to play a game of theirs I haven’t quite enjoyed.

Wtf. Then I don’t get it anymore. The one I’m downloading from GP is 7.84GB. when in the main menu of the game I click on the locked campaign it goes to the store and shows that Operation Catalyst is supposed to be in the bundle. But it’s not…

And you took it straight from Game Pass section? This shit is tiresome.

[Astrakan]

@Staffy

And you took it straight from Game Pass section?

Started the install remotely via the app. But then I turned on the Xbox to make sure it was going, and it was grabbing 54 Gb. Had to leave after that though, so can’t say what’s going on now.

Doubly crossing my fingers it’ll be properly done by the time I get home, but you’re making me concerned it might not be.

I think you’ll be good to go. My Xbox never ever says 54GB when downloading. I really have no idea what is doing this.
