If you have to buy a book to enjoy a game then the game is bad.

It's story should be good enough to hold up on it's own merits, however it doesn't.

Have to agree with Toastie on this one, QED, a game that is praised to heavens and back should not have to rely on you doing homework to get enjoyment other games manage regardless out of it.

The Witcher games are based on books too, you dont need to enrol in the Polish folklore seminars to enjoy them.

The Halo is interesting, I never realised till I watched Halo Legends (only scratched the surface aswell). Aand recently just finished watching 'Forward unto Dawn pretty descent.

Ew, Halo: Legends is terrible. :|

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="Zaibach"]

thats hilarious, Drake is a tool and an opportunist thief.

Zaibach

And a racist mass murderer. Also, he totally shoulda gone for Chloe. >.>

Nah, Chloe is good for a quickie in the backseat, but Elena is a quality lass, class act all the way:cool:

Elena's so boring, though.

Yes, most of it was pretty lame, however the segment on the creation of the Halo rings and the Forerunners was pretty good. There is almost no narative on that in the games.

I guess we have differing tastes, I find Elena witty, and likeable. Not defined by her sex appeal (I'm looking at you Lara). Heck they made Chloe even look a bit like Lara

Games were more focused on the Human-Covenant War and the return of the Flood. And frankly, after watching what 343 did with the Forerunner backstory... I wish it had stayed that way.

I like Elena, but I found Chloe so much more... interesting. Elena's such a good girl, and that gets old after a while.

Again, distorting what I said. I didn't say you needed to buy the book to enjoy the game....I meant that the character is better understood if you have read the books, since so many people here are blatantly ignorant of the Halo lore and reasons behind certain things.

I know the focus was meant to be War, but it all lacked a certain amount of context and in turn lacked pay off for me. I havent played Halo 4 and I really would like to see what 343 has done with the Lore. And how the Spartans came to be. I like a good narative, me :D

Because the game does a terrible job expanding upon the lore. In t5he books the character might be good but in the games he's bad.

343 butchered it, to be quite honest. I like a good narrative, too, but Halo 4 does not deliver that. If you want to learn about the Spartans, just read Fall of Reach. If you want to learn about the Forerunners, read the terminals in Halo 3.

Nah. Just someone who doesn't find Elena interesting because she never surprises you in any way.

I dont know, I dont think they dive into her character deep enough to be able to tell. She doesnt come across as so 2 dimensional that all she is is a 'good girl'

Think I'll wait for the movie, there are oo many books in backlog. Having to read one about a franchise that already has 7 games released seems like a bit of a waste of time

Yeah but her real life actress can get it.
