No Manual | |
Posted By: Phoenix_9286 <Ian.Sechler@gmail.com> | Date: 11/7/12 1:08 p.m. |
Am I seriously the only one here upset there's literally no manual to be found anywhere? Be it in the box (the contents of which are quite literally pathetic, they might as well have just used a paper sleeve) or online? For ten years, every Halo game, before I've even put the game in the tray, I've spent upwards of 30 minutes leafing through a reading the manual. The gorgeous full color manual. I learned about the weapons, the characters, the enemies, the plot. I learned about the game modes and got brief overviews. But more importantly, I got a piece of reference material I could look back on any time I wanted, anywhere I wanted. The lack of inclusion here feels completely ridiculous. So what if you have in game tutorials and videos? It doesn't make up for having something I can have out to look at, on the fly, while I'm playing. I can't skim an in game tutorial or video to find the relevant piece of information I'm looking for. I should not have to keep up with all the postings to websites and information dumps just to know what things are. I should be able to pick up the game, open the box, flip through the manual, and have some idea what I'm getting myself into. I'm disappointed, and I haven't even put the game in the tray yet. I'm really looking forward to a year from now when a full length, full color, manual becomes a bullet point on the backside of limited editions. Sure feels like that's where we're heading.
