No. It's because apparently some of these people have no idea what quality storytelling is. Silent Hill 2, Planescape Torment, Nier, Bioshock, etc, those games have quality storytelling. Hell, even Black Ops 1 and 2 have better storytelling. Halo 4's is incredibly basic stuff.

It's true. Those games atleast get creative with the way they tell their stories. Halo 4's story is entirely straightforward and simple.
Where the hell is Liquid, Darklink, and champ when you need em.
[/QUOTE]
There is no reason to have complexity just for the sake of it. If the source material is good and there is a story to tell, a straight forward approach is just fine.
It's not the best story in gaming, but it's not terrible either

- Nov 18, 2012 6:33 pm GMTSo people have an attachment to these characters, get emotional over the ending, and you basically say, "fvck your feelings...XYZ game is better" C'mon man. That's like I'm laughing at a joke and you're telling me I'm not supposed to laugh because Dave Chapelle could have told it funnier...

Black ops 1 is standard for video games, nothing special and the twist was obvious throughout most of the game.
Also, I 'm curious do you need them because you're unable to argue your point adequately? Anyway my answer to the topic is no.[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"][QUOTE="JohnnyCageMK"]

[/QUOTE] I think most agree with you, but TC wrote that it was the best love story this gen. [/QUOTE] Exactly. I'm not talking about the main story were Ancient Evil Dude wants to steal the McGuffin to take over the universe (or destroy it, I wasn't too clear on that) I was arguing that Master Chief's and Cortana connection was very well executed, which is why the ending was such a big payoff (for others...not for you obviously). It was easily the best part of the story and carried the story for me. That's why I think it did a better job than any game this gen at that part.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I didn't think it was that good. Cortona gets left behind big whoop, I never cared about her. She's just a computer program.

Just saw the ending on YouTube, didnt really think the ending was that great, it was short and he should have at least showed his face to her ( did he ever show his face ever?).. anyways i'll try to watch all cutscenes soon from the start.
