Perhaps if you took the time to read the entire title of the thread, you would have noticed that [b]the Q&A is for Halo's [u]story[/u][/b]. But I'll bite. [quote]Why can't 343i develop good characters[/quote]I can't answer such a question if you don't elaborate. You're making the claim after all. [quote]And why does a company of "professionals" have such a hard time making a simple port function?[/quote]This question makes no sense. The ports themselves work fine. So I must assume you are referring to the overall issues with the game in general. First, if you'll note, the vast majority of the game was developed by completely separate companies. The task of bringing all the parts together and stitching them together is monumental. Then add on to that the fact that something like this has never been done before in the industry. [quote]Halo 4 was abysmal, and Halo 5, while fun, doesn't feel like Halo.[/quote]And what is this 'Halo' feel? [quote]But I can't help but feel anger at 343i's treatment of the franchise.[/quote]You weren't angered by the severe casualization that Halo 2 suffered? And you weren't angered by Bungie's sheer drop in quality with Halo 3? You weren't angered by their randomized gameplay in Halo Reach? Or their story which made little sense with existing lore? You weren't angered by their complete lack of support post launch with Reach?
