MarkyX:Hey Agent G, probably asking something out of the realms of PR, but is there any chance of the update having some sort of increased difficulty? I wouldn't mind playing Crackdown from the start, but I would like to see a bit of a challenge for my maxed out agent.
Have you tried Psychotic? Alone?
Also, a little message to everybody, especially the rookies. Do not ever, EVER, play the game through on "Tough". RTW themselves said they wish they never put that so-called difficulty in. It makes the game WAY too easy and extremely short.
Approximately (according to your own skill, of course), Tough = Incredibly Easy, Ruthless = Medium, Psychotic = Hard. Don't be fooled by "Tough".
Anyone who has complained to me that the game was way too short or too easy, I asked them what difficulty they played on. Almost every time, the answer was "the default difficulty", ie Tough. Just say no!

On a side note, everyone who's told me they got bored of the game quickly (usually because they'd already beaten all 21 bosses, and also played it on the easiest difficulty) I asked if they ever played mini-games. People would reply about the races, and I would explain, "no, not the games that's inherently coded into Crackdown... user-created mini-games". Most people have said, no they didn't even think of that. Last night, for instance, I was playing Texas Hold 'Em and was talking with a couple of people about Crackdown. They had never even considered player-created games. I gave them examples of a few, and by the time I was finished playing poker, they were excited about getting together on Crackdown and trying out some of the games I mentioned. If you're bored of Crackdown try some of the mini-games that's been created by us. We've even started posts listing ideas for mini-games that you can try if you need inspiration. Try the search function and look through some of the threads. Enjoy!
EDIT: A friend of mine with vid-cap capabilities and I might put some videos together of some of the player-created games. I'm not confirming it, but we've talked about it since so many people have no idea what to do with Crackdown after they're tired of killing gang members and running races. If you have a good imagination, feel free to add ideas to the various mini-games threads that are on this forum. If you have no imagination, I highly reccomend searching out those posts. This game can still be incredibly fun as is. The DLC is going to be icing on an already tasty cake.
