Halo 4 was regarded as the worst halo game ever according to ign reports and many known reviews on YouTube mainly because of it's writing and lack of good story. Although it's all subjective and I never played halo 4's campaign, I can't help but to consider the mass dislike of halo 4 to be true for the most part...

Anyways, how do you guys feel about bioware hiring halo 4's writer as Mass Effect 4's lead writer?

That's quite old news, honestly. It was announced in, what? Last November?

I enjoyed Halo 4, but the campaign was pretty short, sadly. It was not nearly as amazing as Reach, though, but all in all, I think the writing was good enough. One problem with the narrative was that the whole story relied too much on the Greg Bear's books, and it assumed that the player was familiar with those stories. With a ME-like codex, it would've been easier to understand what was going on.

A bad omen if I ever saw one.

The story is damned anyways with ea owning the title. I hope to be surprised but mainly I think we'll get another jump the shark game by ea.

[Dunmer of Redoran]

The original trilogy didn't have much of a story. I fail to see what ME4's story writing has much to do with anything, good or bad.

 

No, as long as the lore and the characters are good, it's fine.

What was so bad about Halo 4's story other than it heavily leaning on comics and books no one read?

 

It's not like Halo's story was ever good to begin with so I'm a little skeptical of all the yowling over the writing.

 

I'm going to remain open-minded since I've felt that BioWare needs new blood.

I don't know, why don't you go ask the sp forums and see what they think.

I don't see what the problem is. It's not like Mass Effect 1 - 3 had some celestial standard of writing. They were about an unlikely team of heroes who come together to defeat a god-like enemy who wants to save the world by destroying, topped deliciously with said god-like enemy not appearing at all until right before the end. That's every Japanese RPG ever written in the history of forever except JRPGs usually tell that story inside of one title instead of dragging it out across three of them.

?? What do you mean, you first see Sovereign on the first mission of the first game... and then have a big battle with him at the end of the first game...

Thought it was something like "PvP confirmed", good to know it isn't.

Which is a shame, because the books were pretty good. Well, except for the William C. Dietz one, who we all know from Mass Effect Deception.

What's Halo?

It's a type of parachuting.

 

 

 

Seriously, though... it's a type of parachuting.  Also, writing a Mass Effect game is nothing like writing a Halo game.  I hope.  BioWare has a pretty good process in place for massive scale collaborative writing.  I'll wait for the final product before judging.  And it had better meet every single one of my highly inflated expectations.

MP has a lead writer????

[Learn To Love Yourself]

So, what does that exactly mean?  Are we only getting a blue and a red ending this time?

[q5tyhj]

If they get good voice actors and a top-notch score, I don't see how the worst case scenario (i.e. bad writing) would be much different than the original series. It was always a case of the gameplay, voice acting, atmosphere and score making up for the writing. 

[Learn To Love Yourself]

They should hire the people who came up with the IT to write.

[q5tyhj]

Ugh, no way- I understand that it was trying to make the actual ending make some sort of sense, but at the end of the day IT didn't really make any more sense than the BW endings. 

[GordianKnot42]

I didn't realize Halo had writers.

[Mindlog]

Thought #1: I'm Drunk,

#2: Where's Deckard?

#3: MP doesnt have a story so who gives a ****?

[Ashevajak]

In other words.....hire a bunch of fanfic writers. Yeah let's not touch that cesspool of despair and hopelessness.

 

Hey now, they essentially hired fanfic writers for the rebooted Doctor Who series and look how that turned out!

 

...

 

Yeah, the Halo guy probably wont be so bad.
