You fell in love with a game and it's characters, sunk hundreds, maybe even thousands of hours into it. It became a comforting, immensely satisfying part of your daily life. Then you heard a sequel was coming and got really hyped but when it came out it was utter rubbish...

Which game(s) was that for you?

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

    To be fair, they probably had a mandate to go for a mainline chief story. That could’ve worked.

    I guess the fundamental issue was they read the novels and such but didn’t “understand” the Halo trilogy's feel (going for operatic sci fi drama instead of the quieter feel), and quickly wrote themselves into a corner.
