Re: Legends out on Tuesday!

In Response To: Legends out on Tuesday! (GrimBrother One)


Wells, I've watched through the BluRay disc now, or rather the things I hadn't already seen, plus the commentary.

It was nice seeing a bit of new Halo again, especially with all these 9 or so wires inside my elbow keeping me away from the Xbox, but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to comfortably hold the controller next week. I've been incredibly lucky in how successful the surgery has been, I can already almost straighten the arm, rotate it palm down and palm up and bend it about 45 degrees.
Weak as hell though, very little lifting ability.
The hand is still pretty bruised for reasons I don't understand at all, but its improving and the swelling has gone down a lot. Just about full finger mobility too, I can actually type two handed again, hurrah!

Anyway, I babble. So far I haven't even checked out the Reach ViDoc and as things stand, I'm not even sure if I will. At least not before the game is released.

Er, where was I.. Oh, Legends.

I really don't have anything to actually complain about. Maybe some nitpicks if I really try, but that's really irrelevant at the end of the day. The commentary I enjoyed a lot, especially some of the notes Frankie made on canon, such as not mentioning dates so that people don't become so transfixed by them. I can really see and appreciate that approach, that such things can in fact be a distraction from the story and events themselves.
Good stuff.

Origins 2 I'd say is a fantastic piece, maybe even one of the smartest pieces of Halo content yet.
There really is nothing to complain about. Loved the art, loved the tone, loved the story.
(all with the pinch of salt that its only Cortana's interpretation. I could scream that's a cheat, but its a valid point)

I also liked the ideas and story that Homecoming threw up. I am absolutely in favour of anything to humanise the Spartans, to acknowledge that they are in fact still people.
Its nice to touch upon some of those subjects, and the mental turmoil they can generate.

So yeah, cheers Frankie and co for the hard work on making this project a reality. I'm glad to just relax a bit and enjoy it all for what it is and how it was intended.
