Re: Very pretty, but....

In Response To: Re: Very pretty, but.... (Ibeechu) : And that's definitely a legitimate concern. But in this case, I guess the : call that had to be made was whether or not this was primarily for the : long-time fans, or for the future newcomers. 343 kept saying this was a : love-letter/thank-you to the community, so I guess they picked us. That : being said, there is still the classic mode that would let newcomers : experience the game exactly as we all did (albeit, they probably would : prefer to play in HD mode). : But, yeah, you certainly do have a good point. Love letter to the fans - I hate that expression. Its an attempt to impose an obligation upon us. How could we be so churlish as to not like their love letter? Whatever Bungie or 343i makes - its should stand or fall on its merits as a game/movie/comic/whatever. If your stuff is good then I will buy it. You don't need to soap me up with talk of love. Bungie/343i guys: please stop. And don't try to reassure me that you get Halo. I will make my own mind up on that point. If the terminals do not make sense in the context of the game then they satisfy neither story freaks nor first timers. If they really don't make sense in the context of the game then present the information some other way. If they don't make sense in context then they are infinitely less impressive than the Halo 3 terminals. Moving pictures are nothing new, text is tens of thousands of years older but both have been around for longer than I have lived so there is nothing up-to-date or impressive about mere videos (even ones with sound) (even ones with color). If 343i wants to impress me then they have to do more than replace text with what are essentially cut scenes.
