Started playing Halo 4 today. I’m not sure exactly how I feel about the game yet. It’s definitely not a Bungie title — but then again, I never expected it to be, so I’m not really disappointed in that regard. I enjoyed the gameplay up to the initial Forerunner planet explorations I was able to make it to today. Storytelling doesn’t have, in my opinion, quite the polish and _panache_ its predecessors have had, but the visuals are breathtaking. I’m looking forward to delving further into the game soon.
All in all, I was happy with the game. I miss Firefight, the Multiplayer is lackluster, the story feels more like it came from a sci-fi television show rather than a space opera, but all in all I really like the new game. Not as much as Halo Reach mind you but it’s pretty good considering it’s this studio’s first game.
Also, the Prometheans are soooo cool looking and fun to fight!
Halo: Reach is going to be tough to top.
