In Response To: Re: LOL at the article (CowOnTheNews) : What I found funniest was that he found H2's story "boring," even
I found the Halo 2 story quite tame in comparison to Halo's. It just doesn't flow well, nor does it capture you quite the same as Halo does. There is no emotion invoked anywhere; no one but the bad guys die, and the bad guys are clearly made out to be bad. All the 'good' characters are all best of friends by the end of it, it's just too lighthearted to work. You don't feel any loss for any of them, I can honestly say I felt a twinge in my heart when Foehammer died, or when I found out the Captain was one of them. Their deaths helped invoke emotion, and made the game more meaningful. Likewise, one of the characters that should have stayed dead is Johnson. There's more emotional impact with him dead, and they don't need to tangle themselves up trying to explain how he survived Halo. There's no reason an identical sarge marine couldn't have been in Halo 2, it's one of those things you don't need to explain. |
