Re: Sigh...

In Response To: Re: Sigh... (Zeouterlimits)


: I'd say plenty of the 7 shorts look "like" Halo (which is an odd
: statement to begin with).
: Did the Moebius part of the Graphic Novel look like Halo? Or the manga part
: with Sargent Johnson?

: Perhaps it isn't mean to appeal to all 10 million of the fanbase?
: And whether you want it know or not, lets say that those who are open to the
: idea (not writing it off yet) say it's great when it comes out. Will that
: change your mind about this?
: You say it seems forced, surely that argument applies to any expansion of
: Halo into non-game arenas?

I don't know where you got the idea that I'm not even gonna give this a chance... I'm just saying my hopes for it are really low. I'm a little baffled at how you've come to the conclusion that because I don't like this idea that I don't like any other ideas. I own all the Halo books and have read them all, I own the graphic novel and have read it, and I own all three games and played through them all. I watched all of the Blomkamp Halo shorts and loved them. The Believe campaign was brilliant. I have not read Uprising, but not because I think it looks bad, but because I haven't had the funds - or patience - to look into it. It actually looks great. I have not played Halo Wars, not because it looks like a bad game, but because RTS games on consoles scare me.

What I was getting at here was that Halo is a western-developed, space marine action shooter set in a world that its fanbase hold dear. Bungie created a world that I love, and seeing Microsoft whore it out frightens me a little. I plan to give Halo: Legends a chance, but my hopes aren't very high. This preview reminds me of a lot of bad anime that I've watched in the past, particularly the strange mech part. There were scenes I found interesting; but, in my opinion, the scary far outweighs the interesting.

Obviously this isn't going to appeal to all the Halo fans in the world. Halo 3 didn't appeal to all the Halo fans in the world. I was merely stating my opinion, and I am one of those fans that this idea does not appeal to. I'm very loyal to Halo, but that doesn't mean I love every single thing with Halo's name on it.

And, no, I won't like it just because everyone else does. Where you ever got that idea is absolutely absurd.
