In Response To: Re: Hmm (uberfoop)


Time Glitch:
: I think attitudes like this show just how much damage Halo: Reach did to the
: franchise as a whole. It underperformed with fans so badly that it created
: a very deep chasm that 343 is now having to build a bridge across...Or
: trying to anyway. To an outsider, Reach looked like a quick cash grab, and
: Halo 4 looks like the milking of the Halo series.

: I honestly wish Reach had never been made. All it did was tear the community
: apart, and put Halo's reputation in the toilet.

I don't think I could disagree with you much harder than I do right now, but I don't have anything constructive to say so I'll leave it at that.

TDSpiral:
: Wow, you completely missed my point. I was saying that it was really bad. I
: didn't say, "Halo 4 is going to be the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
: of the Halo trilogy. Which was awesome!" They compared it to that, by
: saying KotCS was terrible because it was a forth in the series, which
: means that Halo 4 was going to be terrible. I said that Halo 4 isn't the
: equivalent of KotCS because it's the start of a new trilogy.

So was The Phantom Menace. just sayin'™
(Also I heard there are plans for another Indiana Jones movie, and I heard there were plans until #4 flopped... you can make of that what you will.)

uberfoop:
: I've always felt that Halo 3's ending is extremely conclusive (aside from
: some annoying sketchy details that result from Halo 3's writing sloppiness
: that are probably best to ignore), but that the legendary ending is a very
: annoying tacked on "HEY LOOK, a sequel door!" message.

: It's always seemed very dissonant with the game, I've always wondered if it
: was more Microsoft's doing than Bungie's,

Maybe, but the fact remains that it was there, which at least means the premise for continuing the series doesn't have to be as contrived as it would have to be if the game had ended differently.

You cannot fall off the floor.
