Re: and would it be so hard to put in dates?

In Response To: Re: and would it be so hard to put in dates? (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: I think it's the perception of the 'new direction'. When Halo first started,
: we were treated to the year, month, day, and time down to the minute that
: something happened. Now we can't get so much as the year. We were used to
: information and now it's hard to come by or even deduce. It's that trend
: that's irksome. If they don't provide any more info than absolutely
: necessary, they don't have to retcon it later on.

Sure it is, and I was used to how it was as well.

But I also understand how it can be from the other side of the fence.
I'm quite prepared to just trust Frankie and 343.
I'll concentrate on other aspects when its quite plain that efforts have been made and clearly stated to reduce the importance of time frame in certain projects, such as legends.

While dates were a nice touch, I'm afraid that if I put my hand on heart, I can not say the lack of them has had a significant impact on the stories themselves.
If things have changed, a new direction and such. then that's what's happened. So be it, move along.

I can understand why its been done and to be honest, I can even see certain merits to it.
