Re: Thoughts on Reach (4K words)

: I agree with some/disagree with a lot of you said, but I think my main gripe : is about your last 5 paragraphs, the ones dealing with missions advancing : the story. : Please, please, please, pleeeeaaaaasssssseeeee tell yourself this is a video : game and not a movie. It's not a TV series. This is a straight up video : game. The purpose of video games is to engage the user in situations and : have their input be reflected as enjoyment. Yes, video games are story : driven, and Reach definitely is a story driven game, but to enjoy the : story it needs action. That's why Bungie makes action packed levels such : as Sword Base, Tip of the Spear, etc. And isn't the main point of Reach to : defend Reach? Why are you saying defending levels doesn't advance the : story? Put 2 and 2 together bro. I don't think that response is valid. Halo 1 had action packed storytelling, yet it also had a driving overall story arc that each mission was a key component of. Cody was careful to point that out.
