Pessimism ... don't read this ...
Posted By: Jester <jesteril@hotmail.com>Date: 9/1/01 1:14 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Darn. (=NAV=Shadow)

My world is falling apart ... or maybe it's Halo's world that's crumbling. What's the point of giving us a 10,000 km figure on Halo if it means absolutely nothing?!?! Here's an idea ... don't make claims that you couldn't (or wouldn't, because I think you could have) keep! Yeah sure, it will be a good game, but it could have been a great game. Halo had a vision which the competition couldn't touch ... and slowly it's been scaled back, retouched, "polished" into just another game. I used to tell my friends about how great Halo was going to be ... they were excited ... all this freedom!

(*echo of the word "Oni" rings in my ears*)

I'm sure Halo will be successful. With the marketing power of MS, "Dirt Clod in a Box" could sell millions. But it will never be what we were told it would be way back when there was only one screenshot. It sort of reminds me of "1984". The masses are fed great news, when behind the scenes they are getting less and less.
Bungie WILL NOT RULE THE WORLD ... EVER! They've just lost it.

Alright, let the flames begin. Before you post "Bungie doesn't owe you anything" or "Get off the forums dumbass" or "I'd rather have a polished game than have a great conceptualized, poorly executed game", answer this question: When does Bungie ever admit they were wrong? When do they apologize for anything? You know, there are companies that are actually honest with their fans. Chris Taylor (Founder of Gas Powered Games / Total Annihilation) actually gets on the fan forums and explains IN DETAIL (*coughMATT*) why something is being pulled or why the game is being delayed. I'd like to see Jason Jones on these forums.
