Re: Halo as a whole lacks grim dark
Posted By: General Battuta <seth.dickinson@gmail.com>	Date: 10/27/10 7:01 p.m.
In Response To: Halo as a whole lacks grim dark (Hikaru-119) : Now I love Halo as a whole and parts seem grim or dark, but after having been : a fan of Warhammer 40k over the past few years in addition to Halo I can : say that Halo is severely lacking in the grim dark department. 40k is WAY : more grim dark (by design of course) and thus when I look at Halo for such : a perspective I don't see it nearly as much. I actually have to stop to : think about it. That tells me it is lacking in it. : As for the most grim dark of the series? Halo 1 and Reach both take the cake. Warhammer's scale is sufficiently large and its setting sufficiently cheesy that it's kind of hard to take it seriously enough to feel engrimmened. :P For example, in Warhammer, a few dozen planets get blown up? Whatever. Happens. In Halo the majority of the human race gets nuked, including most of the homeworld. It's just nobody pays much attention to it, and it doesn't really get focused on narratively.
