Crackdown 2 Failed My Heart

Video game blog Joystiq's Justin McElroy brought up a point on the Joystiq podcast about Crackdown 2 that saddened me. He said that Crackdown 2 is a lose/lose situation. On one side, the game is a failure and will most likely not have a successor. On the other hand if the game was to sell a good amount of copies the game would have a half-assed sequel just like it in the works. No one would be happy. 

It hurts me when games that could be such great hits come out and turn out to be complete trash. I have such high hopes and they are burned to the ground by developers who don't put enough effort into their work or just have a vision that looks stylish and clean only in their heads but once it hits the shelves it turns out to be an utter disappointment.
