Yes...(scoring for them sites is wrong data btw)

Any reason why the sites reviews for recent games haven't been on meta? Looks as if their reviews for the past year haven't made it on metacritic.

Just noticed that, looks like Meta doesn't use them anymore now then =)

 

Still use QT3 though xD

I find it interesting that they stop using some websites, makes you wonder what their reasoning behind it is. I think with QTT they had enough clickbait reviews and decided that two would be too many so they made the decision to cut one and sadly for gamekult it was them. Gamekult must be livid! They were what QTT are now, 5 years ago.

QTT had a recent article about the library being a great level in halo so I have hope that it might get 2 out of 5.

I actually think they allow QTT to post reviews on metacritic b/c the founders of QTT helped found metacritic.  Or something like that.

well, that can only be good news.  i honestly haven no issues with the actual score, but the reasons provided are just shady as heck.  


Reasoning thus far has been highly questionable regarding the negatives to the game.

 

Recent reviews of DA: Inquisition have been pretty confusing on top of that. I can't get a sense for how good the plot is or how the combat is because sites like gamespot and IGN among other sites are giving out conflicting messages regarding them both. A common theme seems to be that it starts off slow and only kicks in after 10-15 hours gameplay though.



Holly Molly. Over on waypoint they have 14 pages of bugs and issues. Everything is bugged. The campaigns,rank, the mp, the custom games, connection issues with parties, audio, and achievements. This is gunna take weeks if not months to fix this stuff.



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.

Congrats Welfare on 60K.

And yeah guys, don't worry about those achievement glitches on Halo. If you go to it it will probably say "Done! Unlocking." Or something like that. Once they update the game, or you wait a little while it will pop.

I've had this issue before and I was watching Netflix when it randomly popped up. Thought it was one of those meaningless Netflix achievements, but it had points attached to it.

I think I'm going to wait a few months to get Halo MCC.

I know this is a dumb question and I think Noble answered it, but if I wait like 6 months, and then buy MCC will I have to download that huge patch, or will that already be in the game. Like future batches of the game will have the download installed? Or is that not even possible since the games already fill the disc?

Lastly, really think I'll be getting DA:Inquisition MUCH earlier than I thought. Maybe when it launches, really want a Western RPG to get into, Star Ocean may have to wait

How is this possible?!? I'm actually enjoying Halo 4 more than the other Halos in Halo:MCC so far. I'm getting nothing but bad games in Halo 2 and 3, tons of lag (it's as if though Halo 2 and 3 are still using the old netcode and people are standbying and lag switching again like old times), bad teammates or teammates who keep stealing my kills, etc. I'm also enjoying Halo 1 alot, I never really got a chance to play Halo 1 MP since it was before matchmaking, it's actually very good, love that scoped magnum, it's a total beast. But yeah, I've just been dominating people at Halo 4 today. It definitely has it's issues, such as the loadouts allowing people to spawn with sticky grenades and then sprint at you to try and get a sticky kill, but it's still really fun. I had a feeling that I would find the older Halo's too slow after so many years of playing CoD and I was right, it's painfully slow sometimes. I didn't play Halo 4 much after the weapon balancing patch was implemented, it really improved things. I'm also liking the Halo 4 DLC maps so far, never bought them on 360.

Playing Halo 4 in Halo:MCC today has left me feeling alot more positive about Halo 5. It really does seem like the best of both worlds, I think 343 may have nailed it with Halo 5. Can't wait for the beta now.


I told somebody that the weapon tuning update fixed a lot of problems. But yeah played some games of Halo 4 and absolutely dominated with the BR. Even though I have the option to spawn with BR and DMR as my secondary. But i've played all the games so far and CE has the weirdest spawns in Slayer. Definitely like dominating in Halo 3, 2 Anniversary and 4 though



Woohoo. It only took me 12 hours to have MCC 100% installed and updated, I'm not kidding.

And due to a stupid moronic save bug, I lost progress in CE of about a few hours.
I still can't activate my DLC... Multiplayer is still erratic and I still can't do terminals and this is 24 hours after launch.

This reliance on the internet/cloud is making most games a serious pain in the ass, regardless of the platform you game on.

Lift your game Microsoft!

Yeah I never understood why people complained so much about Halo 4. I enjoyed the MP a lot.
