Some more Halo: MCC scores:

CVG – 9
Polygon – 9.5
Destructoid – 9
GamesRadar – 4.5/5
Shack News – 8
Post Arcade- 9
VentureBeat-9.1
Crave Online- 9.5

So far it looks like it's going to meta over 90.

Meta doesn't seem to add a lot of these sites tho, very curious that Metacritic.

Im just going to assume that score will rise. Maybe i should have kept my prediction at 91 though. Im just not not understanding an 87 for the best collection ever made though, but hey i guess critics are being harsher this gen.




       

lol, the metro uk review for halo mcc is especially laughable.

just read it, what a load of crap.

honestly,why weren't critics this harsh with the last of us remastered edition??



I can understand some complaining about technical stuff because it has some problems there. But saying the games feel dated or modern shooters is so wrong. Halo isn't old because every other shooter plays like cod. IMO after playing Halo CEA I can say it still plays better than most shooters released today



Because the last of us remastered is a game that many games don't surpass in execution...

A simple think like no sprint will be strange and maybe annoying for new players and feel outdated...

I know what you mean, but things like that only seem strange in the beginning, later on you get used to it since the respective games were designed without sprint in mind, so I really think it's wrong saying it's dated, especially because there are things in Halo that do very well by today's standards, i.e. AI, which was IMO lacking even in Survivor Mode in TLoU, but you and I agree that it isn't dated, right?

I think what puts reviewers off is the lack of WOW-moments, which you clearly have in TLoU because it's extremely focused on delivering an emotional "interactive" single player, so with that I totally agree with you, but then again, MCC destroys any remake out there regarding multiplayer. I think reviewers don't appreciate what they're getting, as a remaster/remake it clearly deserves a 10/10 (if there weren't any technical issues).



People do understand its 15 reviews and the score will still be changing right? If you all expected a higher score that is still very likely to happen.




       

Many of the Halo reviews I have read have been a bunch of crap, early or not. Halo MCC is the most ambitious remaster ever, yet it is being harshly graded. Tlou remaster was just a higher resolution port and scored a 95. I'm not downing tlou, but just comparing the two remasters, this is a joke. The Halo reviewers are also people who aren't even familiar with Halo, I usually don't care about the reviews too much, but these Halo reviews are garbage. 87 meta for a game that averaged 93 just doesn't add up.



some of the complaints are just idiotic.
"no running" in older halo games. I mean, come on lol. The point of these remasters is to be utterly faithful to the original experiences as requested by the fans. Obviously, they're not going to add in something like sprinting in older games and upset all the fans.



Why on earth did they let the reviews come out without having matchmaking. A lot of these reviewers probably can't muster together 2-3 guys to play with them. And even if they could it's not the same as matchmaking on dedicated servers(custom games arnt). And it doesn't have the badass ranking system. It's at a 88 as I type this, I expect it to finish at 88-91. The matchmaking will help it's scores.

I did predict a 87 meta but I still think it's bullshit. I mean ya collections usually score lower because the games are old but halo 4 is 2 years old. It scored a 87, are u seriously telling me that all this exta content is only worth 1-2 points.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.
