![]() ![]() Kwan is often foolish, and puts others in danger because of her own failure to separate bravery from a lack of caution. Soren is a pirate who insists anarchy is good. Role Models: Kwan, John, and Soren are supposed to be heroic figures, but are often foolish, and the writers seem to just find questionable behavioral traits heroic. Language: the word "S**t" is about as far as it gets. Drug use is always portrayed as a positive. The second episode shows characters living in a "perfect society" casually taking some kind of inhalant. Kwan is introduced as getting high with her friends off of some opium-like root in the first episode, which is framed as being endearing and fun. Many scenes of characters being seen naked from behind.ĭrinking/Drugs: Fictional drugs are shown being enjoyed by characters with no negative side-effects. Sex: A man and a woman have sex although no genitals are shown. A scene early-on in the series shows many political dissidents being executed via- gunshot to the head. Civilians are killed, including children. Humans and aliens lose limbs and their lives during gun battles. Violence: Much more intense violence than the games the series is named after. As its own product the show is incompetently written, and at times celebrates antisocial or dangerous behavior. I mean, I already had the Master Chief Collection pre-ordered (couldn’t show my face in my hood (read: Halo ring-world) if I didn’t), but I’m looking forward to this, because, ya know…more Halo.Fans of the actual Halo Videogames hate this show for basically ignoring all source material and being an adaptation in name only. I’ll let you all watch the trailer to determine what your enthusiasm may be, either as a Halo fan or a Sci-Fi action fan, but I am happy with the authenticity of the weapons and armor being portrayed in the trailer, especially that iconic assault rifle design. I’ve wrote before about the Ridley Scott produced feature, starring Spartan Commander Locke in what will be a prequel to Halo 5 and the trailer certainly has the production value befitting his name. You’ll be able to access Halo: Nightfall on the Halo Channel on XBOX Live wihen it launches (I told you that Halo is a THING), but first dibs will be included with the Master Chief Collection. ![]() Not only are we getting all those classic campaigns and re-imagined multiplayer maps in 1080p / 60 FPS glory, but it also includes a code for the full run of the Halo Nightfall live action series. ![]() The Master Chief Collection will drop next month on the XBOX One, which will be all the games featuring its most famous protagonist ( Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4, but not Halo: ODST or Halo: Reach). The next scheduled game isn’t till late 2015 ( Halo 5: Guardians), but the amount of Halo content between now and then will be hitting the target like a well tracked Needler combustion. The last released game for the franchise was 343’s Halo 4 back in November, 2012, which ended up setting sales records and racking up accolades. It’s been a big thing for quite a while, but ever since Bungie has moved on to make the most brilliantly misunderstood, yet still flawed game of the year for Activision, Microsoft has kept it in house and kept the Halo train running. ![]()
