In my 30+ years of gaming, I don't know if anything compares to the two-pronged disappointment of Halo post-Bungie and Bungie post-Halo. You had one of the best American game makers around and, arguably, the best first-person shooter series of all time. Now? Both Halo and Bungie are mediocre. |
I agree that the decline of Halo and Bungie sucks. But, I don't think the decline has been as bad as you imply. Halo 5 was a good game, and Bungie is still a top-tier studio. Its just that, as you mention, both the game and the developer spent a decade or so at the very top. That meant the only direction to go was down.
