Warming up to ODST (Destiny)

The Reach story didn't always succeed but it had a hard job--developing multiple new characters and relationships in one game


But ODST did that aspect better. I'm not saying ODST was a huge success (the characters were certainly more interesting than Reach, however the story structure undercut drama), but I think it proves it's certainly possible to introduce new people we care about. I have softened my stance against ODST over the years. It fares much better than Reach in my opinion in terms of story. Reach fares better in terms of game.

Did ODST succeed, though? As Kermit pointed out, I feel like they were mainly just the Firefly cast dropped in with new names. I'm not sure the game did much at all in that regard.
