I just dunno what people want these days XD

I really don't get how a huge collection of 4 games all with a fresh coat of paint and new features, of which the lowest scoring game was an 87, only gets an 87. Especially with TLOU:R getting a 95 despite barely being any different than the original that released a year before it. I swear some of these reviewers are just way too biased against MS right now. This is the third great X1 game in a row that has been too harshly reviewed. You'd think critics would be grateful that X1 is actually delivering some great exclusives while PS4 has nothing to offer there.

Heh, I had a hunch about this and I wasn't far off - that being said, we should wait for even more reviews. It wouldn't be the first time that a game underperforms/overperforms on Meta, only to have its number changed drastically when everyone has finished with it.

Lmao a 87/100 is low score now.

Exactly. It makes no sense. This should have been an easy 90, if not more like 95.

TLOU:R got a 95 because it was treated like it was a cross gen release, which makes sense, given it was functionally just a late GOTY port.

The MCC on the other hand is being treated like all collection; a value proposition. They've always struggled to get far past the 90 mark. When accounting for the harsher treatment of 8th gen only titles, 87 makes sense.

Critics aren't biased towards anyone. Sony's 8th gen only titles have received just as much flack as MS's ones. This harsher scale has been placed on everyone.

It's the same with all collections. Even with 7th gen collection, when critics were being a tad softer, non managed to scrape far past 90.

Collections are treated as raw value propositions, which both ensures they get a high scores, but also makes it difficult to achieve far past 90. I'm sure plenty disagree with this manor of doing things, but it's always been this way. I thought the MCC may be able to fight past this harsher treatment, but it seems it's victim to the same net as everything else.

They are way to fast with giving it score, they just got the update o_o?

I will try to explain what is holding the MCC collection and it is the same if you do a MGS collection today (ohhh it happened)... and why TLOUR received a better score.

First forget content... a 1 hour game will be reviewed in fair way and can have a better score than a 100 hours games... content is not what is reviewed but the experience delivered.

TLOUR is a game with great story and a gameplay that holds to today standards... you can see that if you play the Multiplayer where the gameplay shines with ones of the best in the last generation... it is year old game so it didn't felt old yet... the opposite the gameplay is flesh.

MCC with expected of one game (Halo 4) already have a dated gameplay holding it... you can't play the first and second Halo today thinking they will hold in terms of gameplay with the new ones... this is more evident when you have games like Titanfall and Destiny that elevates this aspect to a new level.

That is why most reviews are in 80-90 side than 90-100 side (what holds a meta score 90+).

Said that the game is receiving great critics... really a must to have game for Xbone's owners.

Well maybe TLoU is just superior (it is) to even a collection of average shooters.Halo does not have great characters,gameplay,story or concept like TLoU.They are all enter changeable with nothing new or exciting being added outside of bigger maps.Really.Also it's your untrue opinion about exclusives when Sony's exclusives have sold better.You have two Forza games and Sunset.What other exclusives are there? Oh the other games that are on PC?
