Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Polygon lowers Halo: MCC review score due to ongoing server problems

ethomaz on 13 November 2014

Remember what happened with DriveClub?

NEW!
Update: 11/12/2014
Halo: The Master Chief Collection - review update one:

There's no sugarcoating it: Halo: The Master Chief Collection's multiplayer component is broken. Users have reported extended wait times to access matches in every playlist (or "hopper," per Halo parlance). Polygon editors have had similar difficulties, and today I was unable to access a single match of any kind, encountering various error messages or endless queues, and even one full game crash to the Xbox One dashboard.

The Master Chief Collection's campaign element appears to be fully functional, so players aren't totally locked out of the experience the game is offering. But until 343 manages to make it multiplayer functional, our recommendation of the MCC has become considerably more qualified.

 

8/10 (was 9.5/10)

 

 

PS. I'm one of the haters of the Polygon but I think they are right in start to lower reviews with big issues after launch... this is unnaceptable... this is a trend that needs to be used by others reviewers sites.

well at least there is a consistent treatment between driveclub and halo for having the same problems.

Probably got paid by MS to do that too.

Wow, Polygon. Just wow. Now I know not to count your reviews for the future. Let's just hope Metacritic sees their score changing as an annoyance and banishes them from the aggregate reviews...

I think the ideia to update the reviews times from times to show the actual state of the game is a genius ideia... if you read a review a year late to buy a game you will know what you are getting.

Just holds a history of the scores changes to avoid discussions.
