The reason I omitted certain games for most of my categories was simply because I view them as completely different things. Halo 4 isn't a bad game - it's just that, to me, it feels like a vaguely similar, but ultimately different entry in a series that happens to have the same name. That's not an insult - that's just how my brain interpreted it. Halo Wars is also like this - it's stuck in another dimension that floats around 'Halo'. Some of the EU entries also fit those descriptions. My brain simply doesn't classify 'Halo' as products released by the company owning the IP - it's a much more unintelligible assemblage of specific themes, styles, designs, moods, etc. But I've still had fun throwing an army of Scorpions at other factions, and I've had fun trying to jump the killzone-rivers on Reclaimer.
This is all related to why I have a hard time posting here in actual game or story discussions anymore is because much of what I'm reading doesn't fit with my personal database of Halo anymore. I'm outdated, hah! It's not even a conscious thing - I'll be reading and go, "What's that he said? But we've never even seen the Forerunners... oh wait..."
I look at vaguely-titled XBox Dashboard advertisements and can't honestly tell if its Halo or not these days. "I once knew every spell in all the tongues of UNSC, Covenant, and Flood..."
Bungie's Halo trilogy must have hit me at a developing stage in my life and now I'm over the hill and stuck in my old ways. This doesn't make me angry towards new Halo things - it just makes me really depressed as I realize that perhaps 'my Halo' ended a few years ago without me realizing it. I guess DBO is the old folk's home I'm retiring to... er... no offense, Claude!
