This has been pissing me off ever since Reach came out, and I think it's about time that I say something about it. No matter how awesome of a game Bungie gives us, people find a way to complain about it. No matter how much they're given, they just want more. I've been seeing some ridiculous threads lately, with names like "Why isn't Forge World bigger?". Seriously? Forge World is like 5 times the size of Sandbox, and people STILL aren't happy with it? Give me a break. Also, people are already discussing a SECOND FORGE WORLD! Seriously? Bungie just gave us Forge World, and people are already asking for a seoncd one? No matter how much Bungie gives us, for many people, it's still not enough. I myself am perfectly happy with Reach, because I don't intentionally search for reasons to dislike the game. I just appreciate the good parts of the game, because after all, no game is perfect, but Reach is pretty damn close. Your thoughts?
Reach was so massively hyped, and people were imagining all the potential of what the next halo game could be. When the game was what was to be expected and not the best game ever made that people had envisioned, they are naturally disappointed, but it's their fault for setting the bar so high. There are some things about reach that could be improved, and frankly halo has been around for so long that it's getting stale for most of us. Don't get me wrong, I ****ing love Reach. I just don't play matchmaking unless I have a full party that wants to because that's where I encounter most of my dislikes in Reach.
Bungie's forums are horrible with whiners. I never realized how many kids cry so much because they don't get their way. What's even more amazing to me is the number of Lt. Colonel's... the highest rank... are the one's crying the most! All because of a stupid rank cap. I don't know about everyone else, but it makes me giggle everytime I see someone crying they can't rank up to get a certain armor. You'd think this was some kind of Barbie Fashion Show where everyone dresses up their Barbie dolls. I also laugh when people cry about cR for challenges. Why is this worth so few? Waaaahh! Kids should be thankful for even getting an opportunity to earn more cR through challenges. There's times that I read the forum and just wish Bungie would get rid of armors, rank, and cR and make players play just for fun with default armors... kinda like how it was with Halo:CE.
Any game today is going to have complainers unfortunately. I find it best to try and imagine that you are the only person that exists in the world while you're enjoying something you like and everything will go just fine.
