I'll forgive them completely if they bring back Marty.
they were like Microsofts version of Naughty Dog
what went so wrong?

Nothing, from a business point of view. A lot of rich investors got richer, and continue to make money off the work that Bungie did.
In terms of making amazing games, that is exactly what went wrong (around the development of Halo 3, most of that game was unaffected).
>>340311492
They were more like Microsoft's version of Sakurai. Anything that made the game fun was promptly removed from the next title.
>>340311492
like >>340312202 said, nothing really went wrong
they were just sick of making halo games year after year
They fucked up, all they had to do was wait a couple of years for Mattrick to fuck off then they could have gone the way of Rare and get some creative freedom.

That's a cop-out excuse when Destiny has so much in common with Halo.
>>340312727
Microsoft would have made a much wiser investment in the long run if they had given them enough creative freedom to not get bored, and we would have some new and interesting xbox-only IPs instead of 7 more fucking halo games
>>340312239
Sakurai's games have only bean getting better.

Another thing they have in common are retarded fanbases that flock to defend the new title.
>>340313384
If I was an Xbox Exec, I would have made their release schedule this:
>Halo
>New IP
Then repeat. Lets them stretch their creative limbs, potential to create another gears/halo level of success and it also gives enough time between Halo games for fans not to get overwhelmed like they have now; not only that fans will get more excited for having to wait.

whatever shooter they made next was going to be like halo
it's just bungie's signature as a dev
but it's still not halo and that was important enough for them to leave, even if destiny is shit (halo is shit too imo but i get why casual console babbys like it)
but microsoft did fuck up and should've let bungie make other games for them as a 2nd party

>If I was an Xbox Exec
Unfortunately Xbox's executive team have made it clear that they're not interested in the long-term health of their franchises or platform.

And autists who insist that future titles should target a competitive audience despite being a babies first [genre].
