suspicious isnt it...

No.

Polygon be multiplatform after be founded with MS money is suspicious.

sixthaxxis just wanted to widen the audience and the their community was already multiplatform... so why not start to give content for these users.

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.


The bias doesn't stop with reviews, its all over the media. 

How many countless PS4 more power articles are there on the web. The PS4's superior power may undoubtedly be a fact, but here is another fact, Xbox One has undoubtedly the more stellar holiday lineup.  Yet there is only one article on that though...

Either way, its a 88 is a great score. Should be the highest scoring FPS of the year. 



My issue is the content of reviews. Docking points for not having odst and reach, for being tired of shooters, and for being a time sink are stupid reasons to deduct points for

reviews from sites like the sixthaxxis, playstation universe, playstation gamer, psnation, psx extreme, playstion offical magazine *insert country here*, and many more. 

but ofc not many of them will rate xbox only games. but maybe a few. maybe none? dunno?

I don't think these site will even reviews MCC... they can try but I think the disc won't work on PS4.

PS. sixthaxxis become multiplatform years ago.

suspicious isnt it...

 I know right, and there's definitely no Microsoft-owned sites that are still allowed to review Playstation games. *cough* POLYGON! *cough cough*

First review will be here in under an hour guys. Here's hoping for a 90+ meta

Hoping?

90+ is a lock, it's just a question what the second digit will be.


I hope you're right. An 8X meta would suck..hope reviewers don't lower their scores because of Nightfall

Nightfall sucked so much they all got PS4s because of it, they had to review MCC by watching youtubes videos of it!

Looks like my 96 meta was way off. It seems collections are not as highly regarded by reviewers like a few years back.



88 only?! I predicted 92

Yeah... I am a bit confused about this. After TLOU:R managed to rack up a 95, I am in utter shock that this won't even break 90, but then again, the only real selling point of this, that I know of, is the Halo 2 remake. Considering the others are just HD remasters, and Halo: CEA got some pretty low scores (for a Halo title), I guess none of this should come as a shock. Even still, I expected 90 at the minimum.

 Ok. How many countless articles have there been lately that try to completely demean the PS4 through of the most nitpicky ways. There are tons of articles that pop on N4G everyday about how awesome the XBone lineup, so don't even try that crap.

So far it's at 88 based off 17 reviews. When all's said and done there should be at least 70 reviews (as SO got 72) so maybe there's a chance this breaks 90 after all
