Halo Reviewers lowering scores for lack of ODST/Reach/Wars

[Jebus]

I'm starting to see an influx of reviews finally pour in for Halo: The Master Chief Collection and what I'm seeing here is very, very disappointing towards the reviewers themselves. This is beyond rage and cringe. I've been noticing sites such as Polygon, Sweden Gamereactor and many more bashing the collection and lowering their overall score JUST FOR NOT INCLUDING Halo: Reach, Halo 3: ODST and even Halo Wars! I just find it very disappointing that even the reviewers in the video gaming industry have become so self-entitled and egotistical that it's not even funny. It's not like those three games feature the Master Chief in the slightest.

Here's some proof:

Is anybody else just completely bothered by this?

oh sweet jesus. It's called Master Chief Collection. Master Chief isn't in ODST, Wars, and Reach. And are they actually complaining about the lack of those games when we're already being provided with 4. Not to mention that the ones with the best multiplayer are part of it.

Massive time sink? It's up to people how much time they want to spend on a game. Is it really a bad thing that a game has so much content that it will take time for gamers to experience everything? If you ask me, that makes the game better because players won't run out of shit to do within the first month.

And why is he even reviewing this if he's "so f***ing tired of shooters"?

Seriously stupid reviews like these have been pissing me off lately, I think we can all live with out Halo Reach and Halo Wars but apparently they love Bullshit Dmr kills and Non first person shooters, no wonder he said "I'm so F***ing tired of shooters."

Massive time sink? I personally think reliving what Halo fans enjoyed will be great, I can't wait to play Halo 1, H2A and Halo 3, It seems like casuals have taken over the gaming industry because of these f***ing reviews. Also I hate that they didn't even mention the new forge mechanics, THEY ADDED SO MUCH TO FORGE YET THEY DIDN'T EVEN MENTION IT!

What I don't understand is that somehow the reviewer's personal distaste or "tiredness" of shooters is meant to be a legitimate detraction. If that particular reviewer doesn't personally like shooters, why he/she is in a position where his/her opinion on them is supposed to be some form of objective standard?

If this person would rather review something else, I'd suggest whatever website employs him/her to do that. This isn't just because it's a Halo game (or rather a collection of them), but because it's another perfect reason why the gaming press largely lacks objectivity and in some cases, journalistic integrity.

That was also another thing that aggravated me but wasn't part of my main subject so I ignored it. I can't even believe this particular reviewer is credible in the least.

What site was this so we can backlash properly?

This made me cry, with pity for their genuine retardness.
Is 4 1080p 60fps games one one damn disk not good enough?

As far as I know, this is the first game of its kind. It's an incredible feat, and they want 7 Damn Games, 1080p60 on one disk?
What a corrupt, lazy, useless and media high world we live in.

actually five if you include anniversary multiplayer. six if you want to include the H5 beta as well

fudge I thought they gave it a 4 out of ten

 

[EmbarkingZeus]

I think I will completely disregard game reviews from now on, for I have lost all faith in reviewers ability to deliver unbiased, well written and researched content for game reviews. I'll just rely on my sense of judgement. Just... why?
It's The MASTER CHIEF Collection, not Halo Collection. One could say that Master Chief was in Reach if you include him being in cryo sleep in the Pillar of Autumn, but even then! Why is there such a lack of fucking COMMON SENSE!?! Use your fucking brains people!
Ok I am done

 

[Jebus]

Hahaha. If only we knew how terrible of a launch this game was going to be.
