Best value remaster

Easily Halo: MCC.

@LegatoSkyheart: @LegatoSkyheart: They are all cash grabs.

That said, theres a viable reason TLOU while not the having the most value was remastered.

If you don't see that....then thats your fault.

------

My pick is MCC. 4 decent games longer than 6 hours in 1 box plus multiplayer? Can't beat that.

Master Chief Collection. Mario All Stars with Super Mario World included on SNES. Metal Gear Collection on PS3.

Wow, that's a huge pile of BS. Multiplayer has always been big on consoles. Halo in no way introduced it. There were split screen games before it, there were LAN games before it and there was online games before it. And yes, even the reviews for the very first Halo mentioned how great it was if you could get a LAN party together and play 16 player and Bungie improved through the following iterations. It was never about just the single player (that could be done co-op). And while the campaigns were great, there were others just as good. Your ignoring of the flaws in the campaigns and the co-op features and disregarding the issues with competitive multiplayer doesn't shame GS, it shows how enormous the blinders you wear truly are. The true shame resets with the sites that gave incredibly high scores to one of the biggest disasters to release this generation.

Homeworld.

Master Chief Collection:

4 games, 2 with dual modes (remaster and classic), the ability to create custom mission play lists, every map ever made all packaged in

This should be a no-brainer.

If you find value in halo then MCC.

The Failure at launch with glitch saves and broken online for months, doesn't stop it from having a lot of content for a fps fan

Atleast now since most of the kinks have been worked out.

Jankar, never change.

This gen Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin by far, have not played the game yet( not even on Ps3). Every DLC included for and whole package for lower price:D

Wasn't all-stars just a rerelease and not a remaster?

Nope, all the sprites were redone, along with the music.

***I think the originals look better but if we are strictly speaking "value" then it is a no brainer. The game also has decent resale value. Master Chief Collection is also a great one, wont disagree there.

Homeworld easily.

Tons of content, excellent games, and it fucking works. A lot of that list is either lazy ass ports, glorified GOTY editions (scholar of the first sin or whatever), or launched a broken mess - MCC

MCC by a light year or two at least.

God of War Saga. 5 games for 30 bucks.

That sounds like a detriment. You have to pay 30 bucks for 5 god of war games? That's way too much money for 5 sleeping pills.

Why are you trying so Hard to Debunk someones OPINION?

This is an opinion thread, you can disagree with his opinion but don't call the guy wrong just because he sees more Value in something than you do, whether you like it or not peoples opinion on here seems to be in Favor of HALO MCC being one of the best Value remasters in the Games world.

And we are judging there Value based on the here and now, not weeks ago when MCC didn't work Properly.

as it stands In the HERE and NOW MCC is on of the greatest Value remasters of all time in my opinion, i have no intention of ever buying it myself because i don't own a xbone but you cannot deny that as far as bang for your Buck HALO MCC goes a long way with the sheer amount of content it offers.

Stop living in the Past.

My money goes on Resident Evil remaster HD personally because if fricken love the game and have been dying to play it since my Gamecube broke

To be fair, it doesn't include Ascension. Give them some credit.

Borderlands the Handsome Edition wins for me. I would have gotten the MCC if I didn't own every halo expect 5 already so that gets a no. The handsome edition comes with Borderlands 2 plus all the DLC along with the pre-sequel which I didn't buy for the 360. So for me that collection is a great buy.

Well, first off, he started this. You'll note I haven't said one word to the other people in this thread stating Halo as their choice. It's because I'm not attacking his choice of MCC, I'm defending my opinion that a game released as broken as the MCC should never be voted "Best" of anything out of principle. Games should not be released broken. Even if they are fixed later, that doesn't change the fact they weren't released in an acceptable state. I also found issue with his claims that Halo was only ever praised for it's single player campaign and the multiplayer aspects were never a big deal until the collection as well as the competitive multiplayer being the they only part of the collection that had issues at launch.

Why not ask him why he's trying so hard to debunk my opinion, since he's the one that started this? (Post #15)

Well you made this thread NOW, and MCC certainly works great, has a lot of content and is a blast. So that is the biggest bang for your buck imo. But we all know, the usual cows who don't own it, never played it, will assess it as if it launched last Tuesday, and ignore where it is NOW unlike DC.

'I'm defending my opinion that a game released as broken as the MCC should never be voted "Best" of anything out of principle. Games should not be released broken.'

I see what you are saying but i disagree simply Because we are judging the Game now it is fixed, if we had had this thread when it released or was still broken then i would agree that it should not be Voted 'Best' of anything but in the Here and Now the game is fixed and based on that it is not just one of the Best Value remasters in the gaming world but probably the best Value compilation of games since the Orange box.

Take Driveclub for example, that released Broken but now it's fixed and it's one of the greatest Arcade racers ever released on console.

We should be judging games in the here and now not based on there previous performance before they where patched and the Problem with your principle is it's a little incompatible with whats going on in the games industry, i cannot remember a single blockbuster title over the last few years that didn't need either a Day one patch or at least 1 or 2 patches to bring the games up to scratch.

Take Skyrim for example, Considered one of the best WRPG's on console when it released even though it was broken to Hell and back, especially on the PS3, it. took 9 patches to eventually bring the game up to scratch.

Now internet Connections are pretty much taken for granted 'release now, patch later' is becoming the Norm in the games industry, it's a shitty situation granted but one we have no choice but to deal with un fortunately so you have to be a little bit more flexible with your 'principles'.

MCC was broken when it released, badly broken, but now it is fixed and is a shining Example of the kind of Bang for your Buck that is sorely lacking in the games industry, HALO gamins in General had more Content and features than the vast Majority of games out there and with 4 of them in one bundle the Value for money rating is off the scale even without the multiplayer.

I would agree with you if the game weren't released in a steaming pile of shit state, especially the Homeworld 1 portion of it.. Fast forward a month after release and the devs haven't lifted a finger yet in actually fixing the numerous AI problems the campaign has, the flat out broken functions like tactics and formations.. Don't forget the multiplayer even for a beta is immensely imbalanced.

Homeworld Remaster by far.

• It worked day one
• It has both original and remastered version in the package
• It is true remaster and not a straight port with better resolution
• Remastered versions were games with new body but same soul

Other than that, Black Mesa was best remake. Free and puts other official remasters to shame.

I feel the same way about DriveClub. Actually, I'm still refusing to buy DriveClub even though it's on sale at Gamestop for $19.99 for the simple fact that a PS+ version was promised and has yet to be delivered. I'm not trying to start a boycott or rally a crowd through petitions, this is just my own personal decision. I think there are plenty of games that aren't released broken that can occupy my time that I don't need to settle. And there is a difference from a game with many flaws like Skyrim or requiring day 1 patches and a game released largely broken like Halo MCC, DriveClub and SimCity (2013). I think games that are broken at release should never be rewarded, even when they are fixed, because that still sends the message that releasing a broken game is acceptable.

Why are you trying so hard to debunk my OPINION?

'Why are you trying so hard to debunk my OPINION?'

Not debunking, just disagreeing, i can't debunk your opinion because it's an opinion and you cannot debunk Personal preference.

Your opinion is not wrong, i fully understand your opinion i just personally disagree with it.

i think you should buy driveclub, your boycott won't achieve anything and you are just hurting yourself if you really wan to play the game. Screw what they do mate, it's YOU that counts and what you want, i know it sucks that SONY promised and didn't deliver but don't punish yourself to punish them mate.

Thats just my opinion anyway and i do admire your Resolute attitude towards not letting these company get away with it, Very Noble to stand up for the little people.

I just think you should worry about yourself from time to time, it can't be all about fighting the good fight :)

MCC would of been had it actually worked, Orange Box was pretty good but Half Life 2 was boring as shit to me. They had some pretty good collections on PS3, getting 5 God of Wars games for 20 bucks is a steal. DMC collection was pretty good also.

Yeah, I'm aware of what I'm missing, but I've got plenty to play besides that and when the finally get around to releasing the PS+ version, I'll have that. Right now I'm in the middle of The Swapper, Transistor, and a couple others I'm bouncing around with, and Bioshock Infinite, Saints Row 3 & 4, and Recettear waiting in the wings. If I really need a racing game, I could revisit Wreckfest to see the changes in the past few months or pick up Forza Horizon 2. So I'm really not hurting that bad. Down the line, I could still pick up DriveClub cheaply, even if it would have to be a used copy.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't too sure about that. I thought it was a remaster in some sorts, it's just been awhile.

Cheers!

Homeworld from that list.

Considering how many games come in the Master Chief Collection, it's really a no brainer... even in it's buggy state.

I'm gonna go with MCC. Matchmaking issues and bad score aside, it still has very loved and very acclaimed games within it, with neat features.

A lot of this comes from the fact I'm primarily a PC gamer who also owns PS4 and Xbox One. I would never dream of playing online games on a console, I openly admit this so maybe I'm underplaying the importance of online for Halo fans but for a very long time in fact around when Halo first appeared games were ONLY reviewed for their single player experience and the online element was either mentioned as a sort of bonus or just not mentioned at all.

Maybe Halo evolved into more than that over the years and with its many iterations but the single player experience was at the heart of its appeal for the longest time. I personally felt GS were absolutely shameful to play DOWN the excellence of four incredible SP games because the online part of it was a shambles at launch and then spitefully scored down a phenomenal collection of remastered classics because they had this or that problem online.

The SP games ALONE were more than worth the price of admission even if they hadn't been remastered but they were, every one of them.

Pitiful, shameful 'journalism' and while I get where you're coming from that the online element is really important to Halo fans we ALL knew it would be fixed eventually but it's typical of the world we live in now that everyone demands everything right here right now which I absolutely expect from petulant gamers posting online but not from 'alleged' journalists who behaved like spoiled brats and scored the game accordingly. The illusion would only have been made perfect with a picture of the reviewer with a dummy in his mouth with a speech bubble complaining just when you think it can't possibly get worse his mother's breast was unavailable during this difficult time.

Assuming it works now, MCC.

MCC of course. Gotta let the poor Lem's have this one, its been a tough gen.

MCC of course. Gotta let the poor Lem's have this one, its been a tough gen.

MCC..despite the state it was in at release.

personally i think GS needs to go back and rescore the game..it got an 6 due to problems that don't exist anymore

the masterchief collection has the most games in it so its probably the most worth it if your any kind of halo fan. its too bad its only on xbox one because of that ill never try it. they should have released it on pc

PS 3 HD classics from my collection:

MCC has the best value per dollar. End of discussion.

I prefer them 3D remasters from Nintendo. OoT, MM, Star fox 64, Pokémon ORAS, it's all good.

If MCC worked better, I'd definitely vote for it, but as it stands, I'd go with either Borderlands the Handsome Collection or Metro Redux. The matchmaking and lag in the coop and multiplayer of MCC ruined it for me. I got it to run from beginning of 1 to end of 4 with a friend, but we can't even get into the same room together most times we try. Inexcusable.
