[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mass Craziness "We Make Games We Want To Play." Well, if that's how Bungie rolls, is it so bad that another company may want to do the same? They sunk the time and money into making it, and, if they like it and would want to play it, can you fault them? It's a shame you may not like it and that you no longer want to play it, but they made the game how they wanted to, and how they thought would be most enjoyable. Perhaps Bungie's next game will be enjoyable to you, and perhaps it won't be. Will they enjoy it all the same? Most likely. Will they create it in a way that they find most enjoyable, even if they have to step on some people's toes? You bet. It's how it is. This is the way it should be done, and I've come to accept it.[/quote] Changing the gameplay for a series if the developers change to suit their own styles is all well and good, that's just fine and dandy. However...the story should be placed under the same umbrella. Story needs to stay consistent with itself, and the problem with 343i is that they are taking the story in directions not supported by the story that Bungie already put out there and established. I really don't care how the game plays....but the story is off limits. It should never be taken in directions that defy what's been established, such as what 343i is doing with the Elites in Halo 4, or the Didact and Forerunners. They can change the gameply up all they want though, I actually kind of welcome that, I don't like games where it stay exactly the same each and ever release or pretty damn close to it, I could name the most well known one...but we've already heard everything that could ever possibly be heard it.
