[QUOTE="Michael0134567"][QUOTE="SNIPER4321"]LOL love story in FPS?? wait ppls saying ending make cry?? *watch ending on youtube* It doesnot make me cry. only girlies cry over fictional characters. real man notSNIPER4321

SO MANLIFUL !!! :lol:

It's Gears of War 2 all over again. Oh boy.skrat_01

wait people thought there was an emotional part in that game?

The most plausible reaction

It's gears 2 all over again up in here.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"]LOLNO. "They're going to replace me with a new version of me.... but it wont be me." "Yeah, close enough though. See ya." More realistic ending.mems_1224

Cortana was the second time Halsey made an A.I. using a flash clone of her brain. Both ended up with different personalities.

So yeah thats pretty much what would happen, if a third A.I. was made.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] Im guessing thats what she means by, "new version of me".mems_1224

Agreed.

I'd like to see a completely different model for Chief that replaces Cortana, and how Chief reacts to this this new AI in Halo 5.

I keep hearing To the Moon in this thread. Is there anyone with good taste that recommends it? I'm a little bit sceptical of gamers furiously jerking off to video game narratives.FrozenLiquid

I'd say watch the trailer. If that you're interested after that, then get it.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] Meh, I hope they don't do that. I wouldn't mind another AI but I definitely don't want to see another Cortana model.mems_1224

The fact that they made the final "battle" a massive QTE was pretty underwhelming and lame too.

Although that's more of a gameplay thing than a narrative thing. Still though, they could have made finishing off the Didact actually epic or satisfactory.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] I don't either. It would really cheapen it. I mean, it's not like the ending was perfect anyway, but there's no reason to make it worse.DJ-Lafleur

And yes if you appreciate good stories then get it. Best story 2011 and there's a whole spoilercast discussing it which basically means gamespot loves it too.

Yeah, this. I knew it could have said it better lol.

The thing is, To the Moon just reminds me a lot of Voices of a Distant Star, 5cm Per Second, and The Children Who Chase Lost Voices. those Makoto Shinkai movies are in their own way fascinating, but it's like junior high league of stories and storytelling.

I swear, if To the Moon is written and designed by an Asian dude, I'mma throw a -

.... :| .

I totally have psychic powers.

Not a Halo fan by any means, i haven't even played most of the games, but i like the lore and i like to read some of it...and, yes it was unexpected and even if the cutscene was a little bit corny i think it was well made for the most part and having in mind the rest of the Halo story...still, we all know she will be back for Halo 5 or 6 and that's a given.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="Vaasman"]What? How would you judge that exactly?

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

Cos apparently real man can't cry at games :roll:

seanmcloughlin

No. It's because apparently some of these people have no idea what quality storytelling is. Silent Hill 2, Planescape Torment, Nier, Bioshock, etc, those games have quality storytelling. Hell, even Black Ops 1 and 2 have better storytelling. Halo 4's is incredibly basic stuff.

Now you're just spouting sh!t.All those games have had similar things happen in TV, books and movies too. Also Blops? really? come on man. Saying that has great storytelling and Halo doesn't is a contradiction. Halo has great storytelling, great dialogue and characters. You just have some other reason for not thinking it. Like a petty resentment of the series or you don't like why so many others like it.

As far as quality goes, Halo has always been right up there.

meh, I never liked cortana.lightleggy

+1 vote for To the Moon.

Sad but not that sad.

Yes. It was sad. That was true emotion unlike the weaboo "art" cows talk about.JohnnyCageMK

MC and Cortana story is more of a love story of Brother and sister then anything romantic. It is sad, but it's not the love story you think it is.

anime cartoons usually lack detail in the background all focus is put on the people and the background is talentless sh1t lolcheckoff

Is the ban-dodging idiot seriously trying to derail by talking about My Little Pony?

Players and Epic.
