The same few character models are repeated throughout, certain enemies feel nearly unkillable, AI companions play by their own rules (of physics), and the game is filled with bizarre side missions and cutaways to seemingly random activities that feel largely disconnected from the rest of the experience. Various other glitches seemingly raise questions regarding the line between bad design and technical problems. It certainly doesn’t seem like it should be, though a “feature” like that comes depressingly close to matching this game’s general maturity level. What’s particularly strange about this glitch is that an unusual number of people seem to be encountering it, to the point where many wondered if it was supposed to be part of the game. However, the most notable thing about the game at this time is how weird the whole thing is and how the game is filled with content that is nearly inexplicable and often pretty shocking.įor instance, it seems that there is a glitch in the game that causes a topless version of Kim Basinger’s character model to load instead of the seemingly intended clothed version of the character. Who would have thought that Vanilla Ice would (possibly literally) phone it in? The only apparent exception is Damion Pointier, whose audio quality is reportedly suspiciously better than the rest of the cast. Some of the lines don’t even sound like they were spoken into a proper microphone. While the game’s truly terrible dialog is enough to deprive any actor of their will to work, there are times when it almost feels like the dialog was delivered via Cameo requests rather than studio sessions. In fact, it’s kind of a stretch to call the celebrity appearances in this game “performances” at all. Any actual entertainment value these celebrities could have delivered is also ruined by what gamers are calling wooden (or worse) performances. It’s odd that there’s a fairly major game banking off of Chuck Norris jokes in 2023, but you would at least expect to see Chuck Norris portray some kind of sheriff who storms into nightclubs on horseback as the dictionary definition of “badass.” Instead, he’s just kind of…there. Even worse, the game has clearly squandered its “star-studded” cast. Many critics and reviews state that writing ranges from bad to cringy, and subtitles are rife with grammatical errors that have led some to speculate that they were quite possibly generated by an A.I. Unlike PayDay 2, Crime Boss: Rockay City includes a single-player campaign and several Left 4 Dead-like co-op campaigns, but they all recycle the same heists and missions as the base multiplayer component.Ĭrime Boss: Rockay City’s presentation doesn’t fare that much better. Even when a job seemingly calls for stealth, one way or another, it always ends in shootouts. Controls are floaty, missions are more or less the same, and enemies tend to be unfair bullet sponges. Reviews dropped around the same time, and most, if not all, say the same thing: Crime Boss: Rockay City plays a lot like PayDay 2 but much worse. On March 28, Crime Boss: Rockay City essentially stealth released on the Epic Games store, with the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 versions to follow shortly this June. After that trailer, we didn’t really hear anything about the game until its recent release. Nobody knew what the game was really about, as the trailer promised celebrities such as Michael Madsen, Kim Basinger, Danny Trejo, and Danny Glover. During last year’s Game Awards, 505 Games announced Crime Boss: Rockay City.
