BIG THANKS to every one that joined me over on twitch. The chat was far more entertaining than the game lmao. Follow my twitch if you want to hang out in the future! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
Its like stepping on dog poop
Lol you can tell how trash it is by looking at first cut scene
We can download it in Germany ..but only with Xbox account
Why do the cutscenes in this game feel like higher-budgeted versions of Hunt Down The Freeman’s?
Hunt down the Maddox lost
Lmao
Kinda true
Nah Hunt Down The Freeman's cutscenes are way better than this. This one is worse
You f'ed up my face
It's pretty nuts that Remedy would make such a bad single player campaign.
Let’s hope that this was just a for-hire job so they can fund Alan Wake 2
It looks like they do this one purely for a paycheck.
Eh, they're like any other studio, they gots hits and they got misses. As long as they still in business, its all good.
@@longlivethesheet4561 Considering how long its been and how the other games that have come out recently have been handling...please let this be the case because if AW2 is dogshit Im going to riot.
That said I have pretty good faith in Remedy, I loved Control (and I guess Quantum Break was alright too)
Probably had 2 guys make this game and called it a day lol
Remedy screwed up slow mo? Remedy. The studio that made Max Payne. They screwed up a slow motion mechanic. What the hell happened here?
They were forced to push this game out by their asshat publishers and apparently they needed the money Crossfire X makes to help fund Allen Wake 2
its microsoft they always fucked up just like banjo kazooie
@@thn4296 it's a good thing rare never made more games. Have you seen the last games they made. An actual banjo 3 would have been a fucking disaster
@@alteredizzy Didn't they make Sea of Theives?
@@battlion507 They did. Sea of Thieves is a good game so idk what the hell this guy is talking about
No way they had a QA team on this at all. Either that or they shipped it with the intent to fix later. Which is also a terrible idea?
My guess is that the game was just stuck in development hell and everyone involved said fuck it, and released it as it was.
@@chestermc9954 *ptsd of Halo Infinite*
@@TheJoviLovi Halo Infinite is the absolute definition of development hell, it's a miracle the game works as well as it does.
It's the M.O. for devs since the 2010s
The texture streaming issues are a quirk with the northlight engine, which is what Remedy uses for their games. Happens a lot in Control too
Crossfire is what happens when devs think their past success would work on a completely different western market
Actually they made mistake of releasing it only in xbox which is not even that popular in asian market .
@@KurianfromIndia agree, should've been pc or playstation instead
Where did you get that T-shirt it’s amazing
Your moms house
His eyes are up there.
One of his sponsors is IntoTheAM, which is a graphic T-shirt design company, so his shirt might be from there.
Literally takes two seconds to Google "halo doom shirt" first fucking result
It's a fine T
Man, Crossfire was part of my teens and even early university, even saw the start of the lootboxes in that game, though all in all it was pretty fun, while the pay 2 win aspect wasn't really an issue (it was minor, but you could compete with the starting weapons just as good as a gold M4A1, though you'd might lose more 50/50s). What in the actual fuck happened here? The first game was competent, while adding some good stuff over the years, good maps, good modes, even added a infection game mode with monsters. This is just full blown diarrhea of a game.
They saw the money and nothing else.
The more i hear about this game the more it sounds like really strange decisions making from a lot of studios.
The first game was just as dogshit. Lootboxes, MTX, reskins up the wazoo.
I had alot of hours in it, am nostalgic for it, but realistically that game only succeeded for the same reason Runescape did, it was free to play as opposed to it's competitor.
@@venge1894 it had gone full p2w since Smilegate decides to quit from it, it was decently balance back then before the handover.
First game did what they needed to do. Be a Toaster Counter Strike Zombies.
And GOD they nailed the Zombies part, and the Free reward are arguably better than Gacha Weapons even. G11 Blue Skull, MG3 Silver, M12S, Serbu Super Shorty, DEagle Blue Skull, FAL Camo + Grenade Launcher, they were the kings. PvP Zombies with Sentinels, Terminator, Hulk, Suster Ngesot (lmfao) are bombastic.
Ghost Mode was banger too. Shotguns were hella OP and gets the attention they deserved. The Assassin Ghosts are also challenginf as f**k.
The Scattered Weapon Eliminations Maps are good place to play + test a weapon with rewards even.
Those were the bread and butters of CF.
Other CS clone that comes to mind is Tactical Ops. There were two versions - free mod and paid release. Free mod was better - you could play on UT maps after few tweaks.
I played both these games on my parents stock dell pc when I was younger
I knew I wasn't hallucinating Tactical Ops. I forgot what it was called but I vaguely remember playing it back in the day.
Crossfire developers are a bunch of IP thieves in my opinion the whole franchise is born out of IP theft. They copy counter strike and now they copy call of duty. A bunch of fck ups who never had an original thought in their lives.
Tactical Ops always felt like a fever dream to me. Like I'd randomly remember it and think "Did that actually exist or was I just playing a weird Counter Strike server?"
But honestly, I think it was objectively better than CS.
This must be a tax write-off for remedy, there's no reason why CrossfireX single player should be this awful when they made Control
Remedy Most Likely: "Sorry guys, we know we screwed up the Crossfire X campaign. We just needed the cash to make Allan Wake 2 the best possible game ever!"
Did everyone forget quantum break? Remedy making shit stories is kinda the norm, control is the exception, not the rule.
@@EGIMSL not really quantum break was the first bad game they made
If the multiplayer was more fleshed out, I wouldn’t mind dropping in and playing a few games here and there once in a while.
You can tell that for the Remedy produced single player part of Crossfire X that they reused a whole bunch of assets and stuff from Control.
this looks like the game that jimmy from gta 5 plays in his room
I used to play Crossfire and loved Ghost Mode. I think it would have been handled better if they stuck to how the mode was played: invisible when standing still, slightly visible when moving or in smoke/steam/standing water, loud ass gas mask and footsteps. GR would spray your position if they saw or heard you and throw smoke grenades to try to catch a glimpse of you. At least you don't have to bhop in this game.
bhopping as a Ghost was bullshit, that and the bug where a ghost could easily walk without making sound
the only downsides of this mode for me, because it was cool af
Sheesh, Ghost Mode....
A quite decent and interesting mode where I thought I was suprised that some other fps games didn't even adopt it or something... (I am sure that at some point Ghost mode was taken from a CS mod or something, but they implemented it in game so damn cool)
That is still around in the Spectre mode. He didn’t cover it here I don’t know if it was out at the time
fun fact, "Spunkgargleweewee" was coined by yahtzee croshaw in his medal of honor warfighter review in 2012
So basically tldr: go play ironsight instead
Its free. On steam and jarek already made a video about it like a week ago
and here I was expecting a review of how AMD's dual GPU implementation (Crossfire) was holding up in 2022 lol.
Great vid.
I get that Remedy has to pay the bills but i just can't imagine why Microsoft picked this thing up and chose to attach their name to it
they're desperate for exclusives before, then suddenly they decided fuck it lets buy ActiBlizz instead haha
They have published so many shit games last gen and they really need starfield to be great.
@@John-996 There is no way starfield Will be a good game, I mean Come on, its bethesda we are talking about, the last "good" game they made was oblivion
@@erykaldo2l270 doom eternal
@@aoooso6000 They didnt made it, they published it
I thought crosshair was iron sight for like 5 minutes. Wow.
Edit: *crossfire I guess.
..what?
@@IONLYKNOWMOVESTHATKILLPEOPLE Ironsight is another FPS that wanted to be a F2P CoD clone.
...never thought someone, two someone's, could do CoD worse than Activision. :/
@@DxBlack Yes I know what Ironsight is but reading from before the edit you can understand where my confusion came from
I can't stress enough how bad this game feels to play, I have never played a shooter that actively makes it harder to hit my enemies and takes control away in first person
I guess Control's OST "Old Gods of Asgard - Take Control" was about Crossfire's gameplay.
I joined at the final mission on twitch, and geez this game was horrid to just watch. I couldn't imagine playing it.
The time splitters future perfect music in the background is taking me back!!! Love it. Great choice Jarek. One of my all time favourite games.
That's TS2 Main Menu!
Was literally just saying this, my whole childhood right there
@@GenWorldTV my bad great soundtrack none the less!
And yes, the "Invisible Guy" shit was setting up for Ghost Mode, a staple mode from the original game.
Problem is: they're wasting their time doing this to tell people that's what they're going to do _when it was already fucking expected._ No point in hyping people on a mode at least half the community doesn't like either...
yeah, ghost mode was fun in the original first game
I feel like the guy who proposed making an xbox exclusive Crossfire game looked like the "It was aliens." guy.
Really enjoyed the stream. The whole bullet time thing is hilarious.
Good to know that after playing 2 multiplayer matches of this fuckin disaster I experienced all the content there is. I feel sorry for my Xbox it had this absolute travesty installed on it.
CrossfireX looks like some 2009 game you would rent off Redbox for 10 cents
You're absolutely right. This and Rogue Warrior (2009) looks and plays exactly the same.
@@MikeToreno1992 Yeah ita funny that we dont seem to really get games like, Rogue Warrier ride to hell we get buggy games but we dont get games that are badly made as those games any maybe due to the fact we dont really get AA games much.
Spunkgargleweewee literally describes gaming nowadays perfectly 😂😂. I've heard lots of bad things about this game but I wasn't expecting it to be this bad. Glad to know to avoid this
Love the time splitters sound track, takes me way back
So I played this campaign yesterday for two hours. It was free via Gamepass. I still want my two hours back. As a guy who was born in Seoul, South Korea but has lived here since he was 5 it made me very disappointed with my fellow Asians. The weapon sounds are some of the most stock and uninspired effects I’ve ever heard. The best part about the game was when I uninstalled it. Bless you Jarek for your sacrifices.
Was hoping you or GMan would cover this game, been curious about it.
I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought this game was trash. Everybody was hyping it up on social media and I was like I’ll give it a try and then I downloaded and played my first game and uninstalled it literally 5 mins after that 😂
Piracy isn't cool bruh
@@samholdsworth420 It wasn't said he pirated it
SHUT UP SAM HE DIDN'T SAY HE PIRATED IT LOSER@@samholdsworth420
Came here from the FPS GOTY video. Looks like I watched all videos this year but I don't remember watching most of them, even if they are from the same year.
Then I checked the upload date and I wad rmployef when this came out. It feels like years ago.
Anyway, good videos!
"Let's take a popular free to play PC Korean Counterstrike clone and turn it into a shitty Call of Duty clone that's an Xbox exclusive!"
How? How do you manage to fuck this up so badly?
Awesome video! Thank you!
Love the time splitters theme music!!
What is your monitor?
My game is super grainy what do I do to fix this
My experience with crossfire X:
-load up game
-instantly confused on how to navigate screen
-create class with what I have unlocked
-start game
-can’t find game
-play something different
-come back later
-find game
-game starts
-ADS is bugged and doesn’t work
-get spawn killed by sweats with snipers and machine guns
-play whole match without ADS and getting run on by sweats
-game ends
-our team lost
-closes out game and plays something else
I haven’t played the game since lol
You were playing classic mode , modern has ads
Lol
Seems like smilegate has enough money to hire good talent (remedy for single player and starbreeze for multiplayer) but not enough sense to give them enough time and extra budget to polish it properly and make it good.
The best way I could describe this game is "non descript background to introduce the 'gamer' character in a film"
When it works it’s fun, there still needs to be balance fixes and they need to overhaul the currency and the amount you get per match
And they will never do that.
As someone who lives in South East Asia, I've had memories of playing the original Crossfire when I was younger. I'll tell you this while looking back, I fuckin hated the grindyness and pay to win aspect of the game. Even worse, a skin isn't just a skin as some has better stats than the weapon it was based off. Like the base AK was weaker than a damn AK with a dragon skin. The only thing I'd say I like about the game is how the generic soldier models look, the 3 base models you can choose from but that's not saying a lot. That and also Ghost and Blitz mode since I really loved those gamemodes and were unique at that time (too bad majority of Asia are tryhard competitive fucks who can't enjoy a casual game leaving fun gamemodes unpopulated)
Not to mention the overall balance was fucked to begin with. New players have a sniper rifle that literally has to hit enemies 3 times in the body to kill (Headshots are always a kill, until they added buyable armor which made it a 2 hit) and compared to the other players who've spent time and money, almost all of their sniper rifles one shot no matter where. The new player experience was basically picking up a dropped weapon from a dead player, die, repeat until you yourself can buy said weapon, but my god it'll take you a lot. Hell some gamemodes are basically harder by being a new player or someone who hasn't spent their money on the game, like a TDM knife only mode as people with a better knife have a huge advantage than a regular knife (often one shotting as well). There were also a fuckton of exploits, like being able to glitch into a world object making you basically invulnerable while you can still shoot at people who pass by and cheaters were a common thing.
Another aspect about the game is the limited time buyables. Like not only are you gonna grind a fuckton to get enough money to buy a weapon and not only are some weapons stronger than their counterparts, the way they "balance" it is by making it so those stronger weapons are basically _rented_. These weapons do not stay in your inventory unless you spend money to buy it again and even some equipment suffer from this like better grenades and cosmetic gear.
It's shit. But that's what the majority of free to play online games made in Asia are usually about. Either a grind that at this point you would be better off playing another game while having it run in the background, or straight up coughing up loads of money to the devs.
This is why I quit online games.
Experienced that but I realized in the end of the day, a headshot can counter it
@@d0sky and how many gamer have enough dexterity and reflex to consistently scoring headshot?
@@angusdelaney905 in CFPH, uhhh decent amount
Oh boy, i do remember when my great-great grandfather was fighting with a Louis gun and the peter pistol
Question, did you ever play Tactical Intervention by Gooseman? It was now a long gone F2p shooter that was heraldrd as the "Evolution of CS"
I just played it and they did fix gun bugs and added team deathmatch to modern, but there is still a shocking lack of content. They did add daily missions which are very easy and give on 600 GP per challenges, with 5 challenges a day so it's a lot easier to get new stuff.
It always crack me up when he says “THIS FEELS SOOO BAD”
Holy shit its Jarek. It's been like 5 years since I've seen you!
On the x the texture pop in is nearly non existent nor the download speed had issues. Gave it a whirl on gamepass. 100% agree on controls. Forgettable is being kind to this experience.
The phrase spunkgargleweewee has killed me
they actually fixed some of the ads and aiming bug issues plus nerfed the boogieman
I’s that the timesplitters music I hear in the background ?
I love the time splitters 2 background music
I was expecting the campaign to have some similar gameplay to Crysis which I don't know why I was expecting that to happen. That expectation kinda did happen, but it was terribly executed.
love the time splitters music
the funny thing is that you could buy 2 guns of your choice right at the start, got a minigun personally.......
broken even in the "missing developer oversight" way xD
It feels like it's been a while since you've reviewed a truly bad game, and I mean Chaser/Turning Point bad
That timesplitters soundtrack tho 🥵🥶 lol
Anyone notice how the Villain at the End of Campaign 2 looks like PashaBiceps? Pasha even had the same Beard once, alltough not grey.
Quick fact check: The current Crossfire is still the biggest game in the world today with more than 1 billion registered players and in even in 2022, about six million play this game daily, granted mostly in China and South Korea. Microsoft did not buy the rights to Crossfire, Smilegate owns all the rights. Microsoft just publishes this new Crossfire IP in the West because Smilegate wants to branch out
Crazy that the inventor of bullet time messed up bullet time!
Thanks for the video
thx I can't download the HD version in SEA, only in China DX
When I was little. I had so much fun playing crossfire with my buds. And then the free hacks for cross fire were so much fun lol. I miss crossfire so much.
The only thing different with running these on One X, Series S, Series X is you can play them in a higher resolution or higher frame (or both on the Series X)
Video one day early? *YES PLZ!*
Yeah downloaded it super hyped thinkin it would be at least okay and nope didmy even have any form of expectations and was still let down
At the very least the Single Player's weapon animations seem really well done!
Par for the course for Remedy
Was looking forward to the SP. Oh well lol.
Thank you for the coupon code homie!
halo x doom shirt goes hard
the resolution on xbox one has to be lower than 480p its unplayable
NGL the sensitivity kind of sucks ass especially when turning left and right because there have been times where I could be looking down the site and I could be really zooming left to right while looking and then there's other times where I could pretty much be moving at a snail's pace while not zoomed in
Plus the damn game won't let me get the as12 I've completed the missions I need to do to get it but whenever I try to hit collect reward for it it doesn't want to work it doesn't pop up my load out weaponry or anything it's just still there stuck in the rewards
LETS GO!
Ah, yes. Bad FEAR
Holy shit, the whole game literally looks like something that came out 10 years too late.
God i hate look acceleration. Even on controller. Just dosent feel right to have the speed gradually increase on an input that can already be pretty precise for controller standerds
Why does the main menu look like Rainbow Six Siege's with discount Glaz?
So basically Microsoft pulled a Valve move by buying the rights of an already existing game and making a sequel out of that game?
But with less care and attention
I tought I could trust Remedy...
for the download speed if you are on any older console Microsoft throttles the speed. The new console also does look better in game.
This game can't even compete with the famous Franchises such as CoD and Battlefield. Heck, Indie studios that made Squad, Ready or Not, Hell let Loose, Ground Branch, Rising Storm, and others can do a better job than these studios.
I almost broke my controller playing the multiplayer in this game
Game pass only has the first campaign. Pretty surprising if you ask me
I’m really glad I found this channel because your content is amazing and you’re very charismatic, but also I just want to mention that you look like you don’t have any plants in your house whatsoever.
I think the emote next to the title speaks about the game’s quality
So when u run out of ammo in the shit gun are the shells still on the gun 🤔
I really miss the old Crossfire (I still remember the older songs) that I wanted to comeback but then I heard it's got worse so nevermind. Also, would you rather play Ironsight instead?
Fun fact two campaigns are unrelated one was made by remedy and one was made by the Asian company
Usually games like F.E.A.R. or classic Modern Warfare I fall for instantly, The Former one of my favorite game series ever and I still loved the latter, I mean the idea of a COD game with bullet time slow motion mode sounds like a dream come true!.....
How do you mess that up? Apparently all the answers I see for it is Remedy developed the Campaign for a quick buck and it makes sense but they pretty much made bullet time a big thing in games, That sounds like the one thing they couldn't have messed up lol, I played this game for literally 30 minutes and felt like I played it for 5 hours it was dragging that badly, I couldn't find one thing to enjoy it out even when I was trying to find anything to like, Thought I was in the minority but looks like everyone thinks the same too
Main appeal is that you can run it on a potato pc. THEN WHY IS IT ON XBOX ONLY WTFFF
5:16
Huh and here i thought that was fast.
i mean when i was fussing with the game i personally did not have texture pop in issues with the Xbox series X idk about the S but for the most part no texture pop in
Man listening to the graphics section of this video....now I wanna play timesplitters future perfect again >.
Ah man, I haven't seen true shovelware like this in a long time.
I knew this game was bad
I've been getting ads on youtube, twitter, and facebook constantly for it
Isn’t it a gigabit network instead?? Not a gigabyte network?
In the original Crossfire, they do give you a huge GP but you also have to repair your guns after each match so that pretty much negates the huge GP that they gave you. Though you can just not repair your gun, luckily it will just makes it less accurate, it will not break or jam during a match....
yea I downloaded it off of game pass, went into TDM and deleted the game before I even finished the round
I assum Remedy only offered the labour, Korean write its script. BTW, players can also play campain on PC, on Chinese tencent platform only, However, and i don't know if that version can convert into English version.
I just hope they bring it to PC someday, lol
I used to be big into shooters on Xbox, but after having played nothing but PC for almost a year while I waited for the chance to buy a Series X... It's almost impossible to aim with a controller again ;p
TL;DR:
Exclusivity is a shite concept and PC should always be a target platform.
Thank you! Dope asf content. I played the beta or w.e. for this AWHILE ago on Xbox. Felt bad. Felt like a straight up knockoff and low budget mobile gaming moved to a console. Aiming was horrific. And it was immediately boring. Nothings changed it seemed. N the single player looks like a waste. Super disappointing from remedy. But I bet Microsoft told remedy what they HAD to do and remedy could give a fuck less.
Yeah, this game had a Beta for almost 2 years. What the fudge were they been doing since then? Seems like nothing at the end of the day.
