I don't remember all those reviews criticizing how earlier MGS and GOW games felt dated when they were rereleased. Halo fans would be absolutely beserk if they changed and freshened up any gameplay in halo 1 and 2, I don't understand why it's a topic of negativity.


Honestly there's nothing good to do if that's the situation. If they changed them all to play like Halo 4 or Destiny reviewers would say Halo 1 2 and 3 weren't true to themselves. Since they kept them the same its dated. There's no win there.

Holy hell, people are really complaining about 87...
All of the Halo games would get a lower score today than they did when they released. You can't expect the same standards today



The One and Only

VizionEck.com

btw: i will just stop for now and wait for next year to see how ratchet and clank redux will score, before i imply any bias



This is the best value for Xbox fans.4 remastered games for $60.That's insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Props to Microsoft and 343 industries.

Both collections scored lower than original... one of the biggest critics to MGS was how the gameplay feels dated and that was the focus in Ground Zeroes / The Phantom Pain.

mgs collection scored 90 on xb360

so if we talk about collections, halo: mcc is the worst ever released.
inferior console, inferior games, inferior collections.

xbox one the best place to play

Metro.co.uk should be embarrassed with their view on Multiplayer.  Its absolutely horrendous opinions with no thought other than "lol haz no sprint or loadouts it dated" that is ruining many competitive shooters today and turning them into games for casuals who want loadouts and sprint for no other reason than because COD has it.

? I don't even understand how you reached this conclusion... it is nonsense.

BTW MGS HD Collection score 89 over 50 reviews... it scored 90 on 360 due the low review count... great score too like MCC.

PS. MGS games (the main ones) seem sto have scored better than Halo games too.

To be honest, Halo: Combat eveolved got the same treatment years ago.

it originally got 97 Meta

The rerelease got an 82 Meta

Could it just be that oponions change or perhaps that a game that is releaseing in 2014 should be held to 2014 standards?

What if you never played Halo before?



If Smash Wii U and Dragon Age both fail to hit 90 than critics have officially gone overboard on being too critical.

Or perhaps your opinion is simply not compatible with the general consensus?
