Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 3 weeks agoWatched a recent video on magic and writing and it applies for scifi too. Every time you add to the lore you now have to remember and support it forever. 4 just added so much that they clearly didn’t think through like that. Bungie dishes out lore in small bits from 1-3, and it was so exciting when you got just the small tiny bit of backstory. 4 and 5 then just dumped in on your plate in healing portions.

Yes exactly! Same with the characters.

Librarian, Didact, people they didn’t even take the time to introduce well and we were supposed to just jump on board with it. Buck was literally the only saving grace for Halo 5 in my opinion - and they introduced him in ODST

ODST was lovely. Halo needs “side stories” like that.

343 could have done something really interesting if they had started with that idea vs just trying to go right for a mainline Chief story
