Re: No Manual
Posted By: UNSC TrafalgarDate: 11/7/12 5:17 p.m.

In Response To: No Manual (Phoenix_9286)


: Am I seriously the only one here upset there's literally no manual to be
: found anywhere? Be it in the box (the contents of which are quite
: literally pathetic, they might as well have just used a paper sleeve) or
: online?

: For ten years, every Halo game, before I've even put the game in the tray,
: I've spent upwards of 30 minutes leafing through a reading the manual. The
: gorgeous full color manual. I learned about the weapons, the characters,
: the enemies, the plot. I learned about the game modes and got brief
: overviews. But more importantly, I got a piece of reference material I
: could look back on any time I wanted, anywhere I wanted. The lack of
: inclusion here feels completely ridiculous. So what if you have in game
: tutorials and videos? It doesn't make up for having something I can have
: out to look at, on the fly, while I'm playing. I can't skim an in game
: tutorial or video to find the relevant piece of information I'm looking
: for. I should not have to keep up with all the postings to websites and
: information dumps just to know what things are. I should be able to pick
: up the game, open the box, flip through the manual, and have some idea
: what I'm getting myself into.

: I'm disappointed, and I haven't even put the game in the tray yet.

: I'm really looking forward to a year from now when a full length, full color,
: manual becomes a bullet point on the backside of limited editions. Sure
: feels like that's where we're heading.

I feel the same way.

I have the expensive version and I felt really let down. Not only was the Manual missing, but I felt a little let down by the fact that they could have included a DVD of FUD rather than an access code. That felt really cheap and dampened the entire experience of the limited edition for me. I like the great little bits of other things, but you're right about not having a manual.
