So I just broke my Halo 4 disc in half.

Before you jump out and scream "HOW IMMATURE U R JUST OVERREACTING ITS JUST A VIDEO GAME", let me just say this. This is not something I do out of rage or spite, like some angry teenager throwing his Xbox out the window because he got killed by a camper. This is the first time I've ever broken something I spent money on deliberately. This game has no value to me at all, and I do not enjoy playing it. More importantly, I do not want to give Microsoft or 343 Industries any more of my money, or time. It is in my opinion that developers and publishers such as them are contributing to stagnation and lowering quality in the video game industry, and I don't want to support it. For those of you wondering, this is what pushed me over the edge: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/191234/making_halo_4_a_story_about_.php?page=3 "For Halo 4, he says there were a few epiphany moments that helped boost the morale of the team. One of the earlier ones that Holmes recalls was when the team completed a small piece of the Halo experience that he described as a "very traditional" Halo. User research showed that people thought it was a lot of fun, and it showed that the team was capable of making a Halo game that was true to what the series was about. 343 scrapped it, Holmes says, as it was too traditional. But that first build showed the new team that this amalgamation of different studio cultures could work together and achieve a common goal." NOTE: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE COMMENTING.

  • Halo 4 isn't the start of the problem, Halo 2 was. I don't have the pics on this hardrive, but I broke Halo 2 (xbox), Halo 2 Vista, the multiplayer map-pack disk, and the collector edition disk. That game pretty much created the modern system of dumbed down multiplayer filled with aim-assist, bullet magnetism, tons of camping spots, power weapon whoring, and a go-to, kill everything weapon (the BR). That doesn't even include the wtf-tastic campaign that turned the Covenant into the typical soap opera cast and force-fed you the story so hard that you had to drink lube (beer) before you played so you wouldn't get a brain tumor. Oh, and it only takes about 3-3 1/2 hours to beat on normal.
