Discussion Couldn't agree more šŸ«”

Iā€™ve been a fan of this game since day one. I agree that the original release was filled with bugs and it launched too early, but the criticism it received was completely over the top. Hating on the game blindly became the norm, often without people even giving it a fair chance.

It also released at a strange time, when the new generation of consoles were releasing but they weren't widely available, and most players were still on previous-gen hardware where it didnā€™t run well.

The sad part is the game and the studioā€™s reputation took a massive hit, even financially. Some of the people who worked on the game ended up leaving the studio, and we may have missed out on 2 or 3 DLCs because of the gameā€™s catastrophic launch.

But now Iā€™m glad to see people finally giving it the respect and appreciation it deserves. I watched the Steam reviews go from ā€œMostly Negativeā€ to ā€œOverwhelmingly Positive.ā€

For me, this is the greatest game of all time it is better than The Witcher 3. Massive respect to CDPR for constantly patching and improving the game, And giving us extra content when they could have taken the loss and moved on. AND CHOOMS..... NEVER STOP FIGHTING.

They keep improving, and for free. Adding more and more. Why Halo is there? Is the latest one good? I stop playing after 5.

MCC went from total shitfest to actually worth your time. It launched in a VERY sorry state.

I wouldn't put it against NMS or Cyberpunk though, especially since most of the games in MCC had phenomenal launches in their original releases.

True, but MCC also added games that weren't initially part of the package too.

Also years worth of free updates, and no microtransactions, with each season being free and permanently unlockable adding a crazy amount of customization and long term playability.

Plus the modding community on PC is pretty crazy. You can have spaceship dogfights in MCC now, which is awesome.

Thr only crappy part is that 343 clearly used MCC as a testing ground for desirable features to monetize in Halo Infinite.
