Shitty launches, shitty experiences and messy games: Oh my!

Everytime a new game launches we as gamers look up to the sky and say "Not another goddamn Ubisoft A-Creed , WOW BC , or Diablo 3 launch."

We just hope and pray for smooth launches. But in the past week Halo MCC has joined the ranks of shitty launches. So has Assains's Creed Unity, 

So what's with the bad launches? As I type this I played MCC last night for the first time. 

So many problems. 343 is off to a goddamn horrendous start in terms of trying to win back a community with Bungie's games. What in the goddamn hell is going on? 

-The servers are supposed to be dedicated. 

-The game time are not supposed to be 15-30 minute wait times.

-You can't fucking LAN with Xbox Ones.

-The lag coupled with the connection.

-In some matches it will match you with a 4v 3 or 3v 4 . So the teams are always off by 1.

-The hit registration is the most atrocious shit I have ever seen as a gamer. In Halo 1 it is god awful. In Halo 2 it is a little better but still bad. In Halo 3 it is a lot better.

So I ask you what in the fuck did Microsoft say to rush out an Alpha version of MCC?

I have no idea but right now the game is an inexcusable stage. I want the community of 1 and 2 to grow again. 

Assain's Creed Unity

-Players are reporting that you can fall through objects.

WOW WOD:

-I am not currently playing but it is a new expansion. Blizzard gets some slack because of previous terrible launches. LOL. Except, a new expansion they will completley fix.

With MCC who knows how they'll handle the littany of issues that plague MCC.

If 343 does not fully patch. I don't mean a half-ass patch but fully patch the games they will already lose tons of gamers, in what was supposed to be not only homage to Bungie but an incredible experience. It is not even worth playing MCC right now until 343 steps up and fixes everything that was mentioned. Sure they aren't going to fix LANINg consoles. That is really sad. At least they should fix matchmaking.

If Halo MCC is in Alpha I give it a 2/10. Until it gets corrected that'st the score that will remain.

Diablo 3's launch was awful as well. That was equally horrendous. Will 343 learn from its mistakes?

I hope so. I am not very happy about Halo 5. I need to watch footage but I have a suspicion that 343 is running Halo into the ground. We will see whenever Halo 5 gets released.

If 343 can make things right. There will be millions that will finally get a chance to play what they deserve. If, is the largest question. If they continue to fuck up with small patches goodbye large Halo community.

Huh. I saw my friend playing Halo 2 Anniversary edition online yesterday and it looked ok.Don't know what he thinks about it though. He's supposed to write a review soon.

This is the reason why I game on WiiU and PC for those weird japanes games only Nintendo puts out and quirky indy games that come out every now and then not available on console, but on PC first. Some gamers complain that they want variety, but when a dev puts out a new IP no one buys it, so we get the same game over and over. AC, COD, Halo, etc. Yeah, you should look into 3DS, VIta or maybe PC gaming if you want variety man. Cool

I'm already a fading Halo fan. It started with Halo 4 for me. I didn't much like it, and I've not been too interested in the series ever since. I would like to play Halo 2 Anniversary though, if it ever gets released for last gen by itself, which may not happen.

The Halo MCC packages is insanely good when it works. It is very pretty. But 343 dumped all its resources into making Halo 2. :) Which I really love that game as well. But they didn't pay very good attention to Halo 1 and that's really what people wanted. 

The hardcore Halo 1 kids are furious for good reasons. A PC port just does not cut it.
