I am sad for 343 :(

LOU: R gets at 95 (just gets resolution increased and some dlc)

MCC: gets 88 (currently) despite having 4 games, h5 beta, tv show for the price of 1

I have asked all my friends about both these deals and not one of them picked LOU:R even though most of them said its the best game they have played in a long time.


Well, TLoU remaster would be lower if it would release in 2017 or so but magazines can't give a game a lower score just one year after they reviewed it the first time. It would be also pretty stupid to do so...


With the MCC I have no idea how they reviewed it. Halo 4 got a 87 and now two years later when it should still get a 85 or so (not that we had much crazy other stuff for Ego-Shooters the last years to let Halo 4 look much worse as in 2012) we get Halo 4 + 3 other games of which two are remasters and it will get pretty much the same score as Halo 4 alone two years ago.

I think many simply didn't give enough credit for the content and only reviewed it like one single Halo game and not like "here we have a 86 game (H4) + a 83 game (H1 anniversary) + a 85 (H2 aniversary) + some old not remastered H3 + H5 beta and all in one package, that's worth a 93" or something

Oddly enough it seems like the large amount of content in Halo: MCC was actually detrimental. Based on what I was reading in the some of the Halo:MCC reviews that gave lower scores, I think that if they had just remade Halo 2 with all 20+ multiplayer maps instead of 6, and spent more time optimizing to hit 1080p 60fps, it probably would have scored higher than it did.

Nah, nothing will placate these monsters. I knew they would bitch and whine about something.

I'll be amazed if any Microsoft exclusive this gen scores 90+ xD

If Halo:MCC manages to reach #1 on Amazon's hourly charts that'd be a huge achievement. I don't think I've seen a game hit #1 on Amazon's hourly charts in a long time, pretty much since those PS gift cards started getting really popular on Amazon.


Crazy thing is its gone up 150% even though it was in the top 5.



Overwatch looks awesome. Don't see it coming to consoles though :(

It seems that reviewers are just trying to find anything to be more harsher this gen.



The halo 5 beta reveal will serve as another marketing tool for halo mcc, so that'll definitely push the sales further.

Overwatch seems to have alot of similarities to Gearbox's upcoming game Battleborn. They're both team-based first person shooters with futuristic sci-fi settings; they both have colorful, non-realistic, almost Pixar-like artstyles; they both have some similar class designs (for instance both games have a class with a bow).

Overwatch screams unplayable to me, I just can't see it being balanced with so many different classes. 



why the massive jump for halo? reviews?
