>>6140454>>6140586>>6140458>>6140463>>6141225The most amazing cutscene in all of Halo, this SSTO style launch for the brief jet fighter gameplay moment in Long Night Of Solace from Halo Reach. I always thought Halo's appeal was more towards the military / hard space sci fi audience, I wish they had jettisoned more of the alien promethean forerunner etc stuff and focused more on human-to-human scaled conflict (eg the Insurrectionist type wars).
To be fair though for me Halo is just the guns lol,
>>6135937>>6135923 the characters in Halo games for me are just how satisfying the guns look and feel, I never delved very much into the lore, it was just a pure visual spectacle for me LOOK A GLOWY FLOATY LIGHT BRIDGE OOOHHH
Similar to the apotheosis style BECOME A GOD THE GODS oh my GOD style crpg narrative that is seemingly inevitable for all rpg videogames from Baldurs Gate to Divinity OS to Pillars Of Eternity etc, I feel sci fi that veers too much towards the intergalactic incomprehensible scale can implode in terms of believability or storytelling direction (lol Dead Space 3 ending I AM SHOOTING THESE ALIEN RELICS METEOR SPIKE THINGS TO BLOW UP THE MOON etc)
