Re: Rate the Halo games

In Response To: Re: Rate the Halo games (Hawki)

: I'm actually more surprised at how little love 'Reach' gets. I have to wonder
: - are people ranking it low due to canon, or to story(telling)? I thought
: the whole "Reach is not canon!" thing was solved ages ago
: through Halsey's journal and the data packets.

: I dunno. I didn't rank them as such, but I consider story, storytelling, and
: canon as effectively three different things that intersect, but are still
: their own entities. IMO, 'Reach' only has shortcomings in the canon area.

The canon stuff used to really bug me, but then I just kind of stopped caring about it. What happened, happened.

However, the storytelling is what still bothers me today. I thought that most of the characters were bland, the events of the game never really took the story anywhere, and the game has no bearing on the other games at all. I think a good prequel should make me change the way how I look at everything else.

Don't get me wrong though, I still have a soft spot for Reach, even with all its flaws.
