Many of the reviews 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.


So much this 

 

 

But then again I've known video game reviewers are a joke for a long time now. One should never expect anything from them

good.  More ways to get exposure to it.  Personally im glad to see these games release on both because they arent system sellers and they deserve as much profit as they can get

If selling well can make the studio grow it's a win-win situation.

Regarding gamerevolution's 4/5 review for mcc, the negative points are just ridiculously silly.
"Massive time sink. Pace yourself." 

"I'm so f***ing tired of shooters."   ->  Seriously, then why not get someone who hasn't grown apathetic towards shooters to do the review.  

It's like they're just trying their hardest to find negative points for this collection.

 

Other negative points from other reviews complain of the jarring transitions between the mp of each game ->  Well, that's the freaking point of having a fully faithful collection.  I really don't understand this complaint either.  



Just as example how stupid some sites are, Game Revolution gave Halo 4 a 5/5 and now they give the MCC a 4/5. So, in the last two years, adding three games, an upcoming beta and a series to the game they gave a perfect score made it worse?

It's another reviewer but still from the same site and a score of a certain magazine shouldn't change just because of another guy or they just admit that their reviews don't even try to be anything as the personal taste of a guy.

I knew that this will be the case for some reviews, I said that a few times in this thread in the last months but it's still a joke. Just imagine the whole collection will end with a lower Meta as Halo 4 has.  Now that would be "funny". 

And complaining about no sprint in games which were made without this in mind is just horrible. Do these reviewers realize that the games were balanced with exactly the speed you have in these games? Adding a sprint function so that you can hide or attack faster in exactly the same environment is just a stupid idea as much as it would be stupid to kill the sprint function in a game which was made with sprint in mind. It may feel dated but in the case of the old games it is still better not to have sprint. For Halo 5 they should add a higher speed (but no sprint) but then they can also make the game and maps with that in mind which is something else then.

But hey, like I also said in the last months, reviews will prove that this collection is almost perfect for those the collection is made for, real Halo fans.
