Jon Goff is the lead writer for Crackdown 3's story mode

Jon Goff is now the lead writer for Microsoft’s upcoming exclusive title Crackdown 3. You may know his work from 343 Industries’ Halo games and comics, and as well as Destiny. Jon is back at Microsoft to work on a more chaotic and open-world game. In an exclusive interview with Paste Magazine, Jon talks about his comics passion and how that contributed to Crackdown 3.
“I wanted to be a comic book artist when I was a kid”, Jon says. “that was my dream. Then somewhere around in high school I decided I’d rather be a writer rather than an artist because I could tell more stories with words more quickly than I could with art, which takes a lot of time to finish a piece then be proud enough of it to show it off into the world.
“With Crackdown, I wouldn’t say it’s like working on comics and games like Destiny and stuff I’ve done with Halo, because I’ve done a lot of [work] with heroes and building the world through the hero’s eyes. The fun thing we’re getting to do with Crackdown here, though we still have the hero and the agents … I’m getting to spend a lot of time with the villains. We’re building this cadre of villains that are enemies you love to hate.”
