Not hating just pointing out that appointing yourself the judge of good taste based on a line from a crappy R&B song, is not the way to go!!
As for the idiot who cant see past his brainwashing, he should definately be set alight!! Lol
Just play the game.
What crappy R&B song are we on about now?
Brainwashed? Me? Nah. I do however appriceate that the Haloverse is so great because of all the accompanying material, not just the games which actually add very little substance.
Offical merchendise are perfect for getting the "young'ens" involved and books make for an intelligent, and more mature version of events for those capable of stringing a sentance together.
You seem to be forgetting that Halo is aimed at all age groups and has to cater for them all in order to be sucsessful. Bungie, and now 343i are not making Halo soley for you but for everybody.
This isn't a hard concept to grasp which makes me wonder why you are having so much difficulty understanding it.
Subverting children into corporate jellys? this is your idea of intelligence, it's a video game not a religion, you sir are sadly uninformed on any serious subject let alone a fictional universe!! dear god man pull yourself together.
If you want to discuss Halo and its artistry and philosophy then fine, Waypoint is nothing but a hideous attempt at marketing what is "for sale" the articles are poor and in the background, it serves only to promote poorly written books and tatty packaged plastic.
If you think that is what Halo is then go ahead and defend it, but my stance is that it is a game first.
And you are sadly narrow minded.
I am no fool as to believe 343i does this soley for the story; money is a big part of it, hence the merchandise. But to also say they do it only for money is also very short-sighted.
I have yet to find a story with as much depth and intrigue as Halo's. It is morally deep, intellectually stimulating, and asks the biggest questions, such as what is humanity's role in the Universe?
You'd need to be invested into Halo as much as the others here to understand that though. You can't expect to look on the surface and expect to find gold; you need to dig deeper into the dirt to see the tressure.
Which begs the question: if you so loathe the expanded universe as much as you seem too, why are you here on the Universe forums?
