Subject: 343 expanding or milking?

Well, I've been economical with the truth.

If you're taking me this seriously on The Flood, you should really consider how much free time you have. Yet I still stand by what I said. Sure there are books coming out every now and then more frequently then games. But the amount of video like media we get for Halo is very little. Tell me, if you're deep into Lore, wouldn't you want to get more out of Halo through movies and books then just games? I'm not saying new games are bad, but if Halo should expand as a Universe, it needs to leave it's comfort zone. Star Wars did, and look where it's at now, it's huge, and only gets bigger.

Be as it may, that doesn't stop you from looking like a complete idiot.
Oh boy, tell me three video game franchises which have actually produced good video media.

MS: Make Halo games.
343i: Yes sir!

Just make your peace with it, people, and enjoy the games. The only way Halo would never have been milked is if Bungie told MS to F off back in 2000, and the series stayed as a Mac shooter nobody would have heard of.

The only form of Final Fantasy media I deem watchable is Advent Children, even then it wasn't much for expanding the lore, even though it was cool, there will never be a game to follow it up.

Pokemon, first few seasons are the only good ones (really) and beside that the mangas are still much better, even then they didn't actually expand anything we didn't already know in the game.

Both of them produced video media that were considered good. Showing that a gaming franchise can move up from being more then just a gaming franchise.

Expanding. Milking would be copy pasting the same old -blam!- over and over again, AND if there was nothing else to do with the story.

Oh lawdy! I can always count on you to make me laugh.

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

Expanding.

While people who missed out on the books are tragically missing out on the expanded lore, I feel that every book expands upon the sheer volume of the story.

There is so much content, that even if you were to think that it was milking, it's quality milk.

Milking it in my point of view. And still they are doing a horrible job at doing it.

I am the Core. And I am not pleased.

343 is expanding for love of the franchise but are funded and supported by M$ but M$ only wants $ so both.


Motiveception!

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Sorry, folks, not to burst your hipster bubbles here but, "milking" as a commercial and financial term is non-existent. Somehow you guys enjoy implying that Halo 1-3 were works of charity and that any other project was "the big corporate fat cats" stealing our money.

I love Halo. If they released 'Halo Kart' you're damn right I would buy it. It is my decision to spend my pay check on these games and if a day comes where I no longer enjoy them then I will no longer play/purchase them.

From a business perspective if consumers are constantly showing they want a certain product and will fork over their cash then they will continue to put out said product.

Anyone who complains about "milking" is like the kid in matchmaking who complains that someone else is getting "too many" kills with the rockets. What am I supposed to do, put the rockets down after 5 kills and say, "OK, enough is enough!"

If I'm making millions of dollars from a title should I stop selling it because of a few angsty teens who believe I'm "milking" them? Hell naw, son.

They're expanding, but on an already bad extension. They're further diluting the perfect arena shooter formula.

  • 12.08.2012 3:08 PM PDT

Anyone who says they aren't milking it is an in-denial fanboy.

Anyone who says they are milking has no concept of financial gain or the first tenant of business.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Neither. I think they are ruining.
