No, that's fine. It's just more difficult to talk shop about Halo, Gears, etc. with someone who hasn't played the latest installments. When you wrote "I heard 343 made a solid Halo game" it raised a red flag. Anyway, I agree Xbox needs a huge boost in the arm in terms of fresh first-party content, both first-party-developed and first-party published. We just disagree about the specific studios and properties. |
Do you need to have played Halo 5 to make a thread proposing a Halo RPG, did that game kill any chances for a RPG spinoff? Your questioning was just weird and out of place. I know that 343s Halo games polarized people and they certainly didn't make bad games like you're trying to portray, reviving an old franchise that people haven't been attached to like Halo could help people to judge them for making a great shooter or not instead of having them compare to Bungie's output. Tbh I dont care if 343 would make it or not, it just seemed appropriate to have their shooter studio that is under stress trying to live up to Bungie let off some steam by making something else. I said fresh new ideas because Halo 5 is the worst selling main title and having it be an rpg which is the hot thing right now, could make people excited for the IP again.
The great thing forward for MS would be to move on from Halo first person shootbang and Gears of 3rd person shootbang. I think they do have the talent, it's just that they're creatively restricted. Bungie left because of it.
