JustBeingReal said: Microsoft for not making Forza Horizon 2 a proper exclusive for Xbox One, that would have helped the XB1 to sell better. The whole Rise of the Tomb Raider, anti-consumerism stuff. Losing the trust of the gaming community without keeping games exclusive, speaking of Ryse and Dead Rising 3 not staying exclusive to XB1 for at least this generation. Taking way too long to release a kinect-less XB1. Cost being way too high for the tech involved. Leaving ODST and Reach out of MCC, when they could have made a 6 game saga bundle, makes it seem obvious they're going to try and milk gamers even more and release a 2 game bundle with those two games. Seems like they've rushed out MCC, rather than doing a proper job and make the complete package. Seriously MS have done a lot of stupid things this year and their lack of foresight to actually announce any 1st party exclusives for XB1 is unbelievable. If they truly want people to buy the system then they need to give them reasons. |
Think about what MCC means.
Also, that is pretty ignorant of you saying they rushed out MCC when they have 4 full games with all DLC and PC maps, a fully remastered Halo 2 and Halo 5 beta. You're being greedy if you expected ODST and Reach to be a part of the Master Chief Collection.

I'm fully aware of what MCC means, but you've missed my meaning. What I was getting at is Microsoft could have done a Halo Universe or Halo Saga Part 1, making a complete Halo Experience as far as the games before Halo 5 goes, there's nothing ignorant about that. It's my opinion that I think it's rushed to not include two games that are a part of the Halo Universe.
Also considering this is meant to be a collection and 343 has only fully remastered one game (Halo 2), not giving the same treatment to Halo 1, 3 and 4, yes it's a rushed effort, it's a missed opportunity to not include 2 other important parts of the Halo story.
Also it's not greedy to expect 2 games that were on the original XBox and 4 from the 360, when they've already sold several million copies per release. The fact there would be more value there would actually probably make the complete set of games sell even more, which means more money in the hands of the developers or their parent company.
This whole thing isn't a complete remake, on par with Halo 5, it's 3 games ported to XB1, upressed to 1080p, a doubling of the frame rate and some other little tweaks here and there, with another one getting some extra attention.
As for the whole additional Halo 5 Beta, so what, it's a Beta, they're going to sell halo 5 next year (assuming it makes it out in time), so it's not like they're not going to make money from that, Halo usually sells like 9-10+ million copies per release, that will be no different IMO.

343 also remastered Halo 1 already if you didn't know. With 65 GB of content there's nothing rushed about this. Its already the biggest console game ever. Adding 2 more games would do nothing but make installs and a unified interface more difficult. Halo Reach and ODST have nothing to do with what they're trying to do with Halo 5 Guardians. The prolouge is that Locke has to see what Chief and Arbiter have done over the years. Playing as Noble 6 and an ODST would make absolutely no sense at all when they're both side stories. Reach shows how much Bungie was ready to move on from Halo by completely ignoring the Fall of Reach source material and ODST was something most people bought for the Halo 3 multiplayer disc.
If your complaint about the MCC is that there's not enough content, then yes, you're being ignorant.

LMFAO Halo 1 was remastered for the 360, not the Xbox One, that's the point I was making, the entire package is going to be inconsistant from a visual POV because Halo 2 has had more attention than the other 3 games, that's a very rushed effort, when you could actually give the same level of attention to all 4 games in the package. Size means nothing, it's basically one 10 year old game that's been taken further visually than the other 3 games that were already made for the 360. 3 ports with a few tweaks, put onto one disc, hardly what any objective person should call a project given a good amount of attention. It's very much rushed work.
LMAO adding 2 games to the package wouldn't make installs or the interface more difficult, you just position them where they're set in the Halo timeline. Building those two games into the package would just mean install times would be a bit longer, ironically by that comment you're the one being ignorant here pal.
Reach and ODST are a part of the story of Halo, just because they aren't about Chief that doesn't diminish their importance. Both of those games fit into the Halo story, otherwise they wouldn't have been made in the first place.
FYI the game isn't called Master chief, it's called Halo, Halo is about the war with the Covenent, discovering the Forerunners, Halo Rings and the Flood. The whole Halo story is about Humanity and our journey, so to ignore a part of that fight outside of Chief's story actually doesn't make sense. Most people bought Reach and ODST because they're a part of the Halo story, because if you're a fan of said story they actually add something, beyond Master Chief's story.
My argument isn't actually that this is a small amount of content, it's not IMO, but it is an incomplete package because it lacks those games and they're important to the Halo story.
