Eeehhh....not a fair analogy (Gaming)

I think this remake looks . . . fine.

And I think that’s the problem. Halo needs to wow. We’ve had over a decade of “fine” now. They seem stuck. This remake seems like it’s not enough of a departure to be all that interesting, but it doesn’t stick to the original enough to feel like a love letter.

I still desperately wish they would just stay off the damn internet, go away and make a game without any input from what they think people want. I think they could make a good game, but it seems like they spend all their time just reacting to the community at large, and that seems like a fools errand.

And, just once, I’d love to see them make a game that actually concludes a story.
