Re: Prophet of Bad Voice Acting

In Response To: Re: Prophet of Bad Voice Acting (Gravemind)


: It was still corny. Not the kind of corn that attacks your lab assistant
: ("It's not different at all, is it Steve? Bwahahaha!"), but it
: was definitely 80s action flick one-liner corn. And not the amusing Arnold
: kind, either. It was kinda pointless, especially given the situation.

That's also the trap, how do you make the story epic and still tell all you want to at the same time. The mistake was they tried to go bigger.

You tell the story in real human terms but have the action dictate how epic it all is. If I knew more about the Arbiter, what he has to lose, what he has to gain then I would have enjoyed him more. Show me why I need to invest in the characters. I'm already invested in the world itself. Give me a reason to fight. It's not enough to save the world cuz as a gamer, well, been there done that.

Also the story couldn't deliver due to the fact that we as a gamer were always going to defend the Earth from the Covenant. The Covenant imploded, so the setup of who we were now fighting against wasn't as emotionally strong enough. Probably why people still want to kill Elites. They were the original ones to save Earth from, Brutes didn't make the same impact as the 'replacement' enemy.

Add to that new characters with lousy dialogue, characters that we haven't spent time with enough to forgive for said lousy dialogue and you get Halo 3. Frickin' love it, just hoping that Bungie know when to pull back as opposed to trying to lay too much on too quick.

I loves me my Halo though.
