In Response To: Re: Bulletin! (10.17.12) (Rice) : Don't get me wrong. I am psyched about Halo 4, even getting the LE even if : 343 dropped the ball on it just because I want the special edition of this : new entry. : The changes visually are just unneeded. None of them are particularly : justifiable and they should fix it next game. : Is it Halo? : Well let me ask this. : If Star Wars had a franchise makeover that made it look like Star Trek, would
But the difference is that you can't actually interact with a film in the way that you can with a video game. The way a game plays is much more important to this medium than visuals are. Don't get me wrong, visuals are still important, but your example just doesn't apply here. Star Trek and Star Wars are based in the visual medium- there isn't that extra level of depth to it that makes the experience wholly different. Personally, I don't think the visual changes in Halo 4 are drastic enough to completely take me out of the game. The only change I have a major issue with is the Forward Unto Dawn, because, well, that just doesn't make any sense. I guess the same could be said for a lot of the visual changes, but I can look past them easily. Trust me, I used to be in the same boat as you guys, but a few years earlier. When 343i was just coming in, the thing that annoyed me the most is that they wouldn't give me a definitive Mark IV. And everything with Halo Legends and the book covers were just so annoying visually, that I just learned to accept it. This is how it was going to be, and honestly, there's not much we can do about it. Sure we can protest and not buy the game until they make everything visually consistent again- you know, like all six of us. You have to let this one go. I know that's hard for some of us to swallow, but if you want to enjoy the other great parts of the game, you'll have to make this sacrifice. Trust me, you'll be much happier when you do. Maybe I sound apathetic, but really, there is nothing we can do. If there was, we could've done it a long time ago.
