Relax everyone.....

So, for my first post here, I want to discuss something very frankly that does tend to bother me. This is.... wait for it.... wait for it.... The hate that game designers get, especially once a beloved IP switches hands. For this, I'm going to use 343 as an example, who now develops Halo. I recently picked up a copy of Master Chief Collection and I'll be honest, I really enjoy it. So, I started looking online within the community. I found a lot of hate towards this game and 343 in general. So, here's my opinion... I do understand this game had launch issues. Consoles do as well on occasion. As do other games, big titles in fact. This sucks, yes... it really really does. I get that. Here's what is missing from the equation though. Classic games couldn't be patched. Now, they can. Launch is important, but what's even more important is how mistakes are handled, and that the company owns up to it. From what I've seen, 343 has in this case. The rest was concerning the content of the game. I'd like to point out that no game is going to make everyone happy. I have things about this game I wish were different. But.... I also recognize that 343 did not have to make this game. They did it for the fans. Let's face it, fans... die hard fans... are very hard to please. They had to compile this product while keeping the feel of the originals, deciding what to and what not to remaster while keeping that feel, and finally what didn't fit in the whole product from the original. This is extremely hard, for anyone. I'm sorry, I don't see hitting 343 for what they tried to do for the fans. I know this post may get a lot of hate, but... in the end everyone needs to just relax and enjoy the vast array of entertainment available in today's society.
