I was talking about this with a buddy of mine recently and wanted to know your opinions, basically what the title is is the continuity of game series better than a finale for the franchise or is it better for it to end before it goes bad? This convo spawned because my buddy and I were arguing about whether Halo 4 is a good thing, he said yes because it's more Halo and I said no because Halo Reach was a perfect note to finish off the series in my opinion. Nothing in the world of entertainment ends when it should, movies spawn thousands of unneeded sequels (example Transformers), sport and music stars never retire (ex: Brett Favre and when Jay-Z said he would retire except Jay-Z is still great) and TV shows run on until it's a sad depressing cancellation.
Now for most instances people including myself think "as long as it continues and it's good I'm fine" but with some series the love you have for it won't allow a single bad addition. In a interview about Halo CE HD a guy from 343 said it's "to celebrate 10 years of Halo and hopefully another 10 years". I love Halo and honestly won't mind more as long as they are great games but Reach was a great end because it being a prequel it was kinda like a full circle type thing. Nothing ends anymore they just keep going till they so bad it's hated by everyone. But what would you guys said continue if good or stop while you're ahead (this doesn't pertain to just Halo but to gaming in general)?
