In Response To: Re: My semi-annual novel...replayability and teh D (tarehart) : Halo 1 always felt like it was MY game,
I totally agree with the my game comment. Halo was focused on the player's experience and wants. I think that H2 was too focused on the story, to the point were the player's role was to trigger cutscenes. Hopefully the film will drain any pent up film making urges and leave us with a game to play in H3. Make the player the center. The story is there to enrich gameplay. Don't let the tail wag the dog. : I think the texture pop-in phenomenon
It may have been a mistake but Bungie were actually following the principles that made Halo so good. There was a link on this site to an interview were the interviewee explained that Bungie wanted to remove the annoying aspects of games: long load times, punishing players for dying. Reducing load times has been a Bungie priority b4 he original Halo and is not a H2 aberration. I wouldn't mind short loading screens between large chapters just to remind me to eat or go to the toilet, and maybe to give closure to a chapter. But I applaud Bungie's desire to keep loading to a minimum. | |
