I'm getting Halo 4 and all, but hamfisted crap with no awareness of how cheesy, boring, generic and silly it is like this video kinda reminds me why I lost interest in the series 5 or so years ago.
Holy shit, it's 5 weeks till Halo 4 comes out. Holy shit.Weekly until the game launches. Five eps in total.
This isnt Cod so you cannot expect "instant gratification". It was meant to start out slow by introducing the characters. It will get better as it goes along.It's clear that a good amount of time, effort and money went into this thing, but I'm struggling to find myself to care. The over melodramatic line readings and goofy sets of armor makes it difficult to get lost in the universe.
It wasn't bad, it's just not that engaging. And this is coming from a massive Halo fan.
Damn.Holy shit, it's 5 weeks till Halo 4 comes out. Holy shit.
Meh. Armor looks goofy as hell, everything else looked decent, but I can't help but wish the time, effort, and money put into this live action series had been put into making the actual game even better. Maybe I'll start to care about the characters more after the next episode.
Lasky is the dude that's yelling at chief in that gif people love to post all the time, right? Or is he the younger looking one with the shoulder piece?
Please tell me the LE version will be available as a download. The streaming Reach commentary was really unpractical.No, but if you buy the LE of Halo 4 it comes with a digital version presented as a single film, with some slightly different scenes and editing to accommodate that format. Also these episodes are all streaming on Machinima Prime and HaloWaypoint.
They beat the Covenant and the Flood and go back to fight Insurrectionists and negotiation is - of course - not an option.
Maybe because that was 2 minutes and this is 90 minutes?it certainly doesn't touch the halo commercials especially that ODST one
I would wait until John, Kelly and Fred show up to wreck shit upIt was just OK. I am huge Halo fan but I don't know just didn't do it for me.
Yeah, that's the mindset I'm approaching it with. This isn't going to be a masterpiece, but as a piece of extended fiction and as a teaser leading up to Halo 4, I think it measures up well.I really loved the intro. I hope we get more of old/H4 Lasky at some point, where it ties more directly into 4. I love the Infinity bridge aesthetic from that scene.
The rest was a bit more mixed (specifically a couple of clunky lines), but it seems overall really solid as long as expectations are kept in check that it's not a big budget movie. The guy playing Lasky seems like a great fit for the role.
This is before the Covenant show up.
Those actors did not carry themselves like marines. They just seemed like geeky college students.
Awful, as I expected from the trailers.
Just because it's about Halo doesn't excuse the awful performances and stale script.
