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.

    Just because you don't like a game doesn't mean that 343 is stagnating the game industry. In many ways 343 took a lot of risks with Halo 4 because they wanted to make their own interpretation of what Halo should be. You should be upset with the Call of Duty franchise which comes out with a game every single year with minimal changes and minimal creativity. 343 has also done a great job listening to fans trying to make changes and accommodate for the fans, much like Bungie did back in the day when they were in control. Also, remember Halo 4 is 343's very FIRST game they have EVER developed. Cut them some slack, now that they have an infrastructure in place, look for Halo 5 to be a much better game for it. Remember Halo: CE when people counted Bungie out saying Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee would be the star for the original Xbox and Halo surprised people. I believe Halo 5 will do that, give 343 a chance as they are doing the best they can to alleviate many concerns about Halo 4 and beyond.
