In Response To: Re: Interesting Frankie Quote (Narcogen) : Well... it's my personal philosophy. I take it exactly as far as I require, : and no further :) : I appreciate your responding, though. : Obviously the characters in the game, and the ways that they : Exactly. Each medium has its own unique nature, and that affects how : conflicts are presented, especially in a game where the gameplay consists : of conflict. : The Halo engine isn't a brawler; it doesn't really have a way of presenting a : wrestling match. However, just because it cannot do this doesn't grant the : license to the novel to make a fighting scene against an Elite seem like : an epic struggle when the game requires that they be quickly dispatched : with a plasma pistol overcharge bolt and a few pistol or rifle shots. : It's impossible to ignore the cognitive dissonance the audience is going to : experience when the struggle with a single elite goes on for in-world : minutes when in-game you never have that kind of time, and taking that : much time to down a single enemy would spell your doom. : The novel wants to play up what a huge threat Elites are; however, it cannot : succeed in doing so without de-emphasizing the combat abilities of the : Chief. : The game wants to play up what a superman the Chief is, and his utterly : ludicrous kill ratio throughout the series. It's impossible to do that : without making Elites seem like much less of a threat than they do in the : novels. So what does it mean in the game when I point my pistol at a marine's eyeball and pull the trigger? Blood squirts out and the marine goes, "Hey, mate, watch your fire!" but he's perfectly fine. That supercedes the novels where it would be portrayed realistically and the marine would die?
