Crackdown 3
Crackdown 3 spent a really long time in development, and was once a flagbearer of games that would never release. It was being touted as a revolutionary game that was powered by Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and loud claims about detailed destruction mechanics were made, but the issue was that there was nothing really interesting going on here.
