It's a game. Who the -blam!- actually plays the campaign a million times over for the story?... People that care about the story. Like me. And... everybody else that cares about the story.
Besides, the Didact wasn't even that powerful (without his armor, he got neutralized by a Binary Rifle. And he was stunned by a pulse grenade). Chief just has slower reflexes (he's clearly not the badass he used to be)....wat?
Chief was still a complete badass the entire game. And the Didact was clearly immensely powerful. Hence why it would be idiotic to have a 'boss fight.'
Gameplay > story
I don't think you realize that you are a cancer to the video game industry and you embody everything that is wrong with gaming today by making that statement.
The Didact fight is just like the QTEs on Dawn. It disregards players who play Halo for it's gameplay and assumes players only care about the story (which leads into another problem,None of that is true, not even the assumptions. lack of story background, because the game assumes the player has read the novels).Completely untrue. You said yourself the terminals provide a great deal of information. You can't have it both ways whenever it's convenient for your argument.

I'd have preferred some control over my movement. Even the 343 Guilty Spark fight had some interesting things about it:Wait, you're saying the 343 fight was GOOD?
-it's possible to bring the infinite ammo laser to the fight (but it cannot damage him until after Johnson hits him)
-it's possible to give Johnson the hammer, the sword, and the Sentinel beam IIRC
-it's possible to lunge at Guilty Spark with the sword
-it's possible to bypass Guilty Spark (but that sadly doesn't change how it plays)
-when playing on Co-op, if Chief is killed, Spark will just stay in place, not minding the Arbiter
-but if Chief dies before the cutscene, Spark will fire on Arby instead
-pre-TU, it used to be possible to damage Spark with a combination of rockets and fuel rods... Seriously. I don't mean to be that insulting, but you legitimately embody everything that is wrong with the gaming community and the industry by making these two posts. I am honestly at a loss for words.
