Halo Nightfall Discussion

CyberGama · December 14, 2014, 03:43:42 PM

How can Ridley Scott, the brains of Alien go down hill that fast, don't get me wrong I like Nightfall, it was a disappointed Web Series compared to Forward Unto Dawn, also the EP V ending was disappointed.

SPOILERS, DON'T LOOK DOWN.

The one thing I liked of EP V was because of Randal, just standing on a nice place really made me feel bad for Randal because of his lost daughter, Randal, Lock, and the chick that just flew out with Lock are the only people I liked, the plot is just meh, but those hunter worms are fucking awesome, why did the covenant waste so much time with the armors for the hunters, I don't get it.

Series started off slow and bad, but actually got quite good towards the end.

So, the thing with the Lekgolo we see in Nightfall is that they are not normal. Don't know how to access the full description, but part of the description for the Lekgolo Sunrise emblem states that it's a never before seen strain of Lekgolo.

Even more curious that the Second Story that involves the Pillar of Autumn's recon drone, talks about how there is a biomass signature that is underneath the entire shard. And they mention that whatever it is, was locked up before Alpha Halo was destroyed, and they ask the question of why.

So, this brings me to the unique fact that Lekgolo colonies cannot be assimilated by the Flood (biologically they can, but not neurologically). Then there curiously enough, is the enormous Forerunner Orbital around Te that was large enough to create a ring around the planet when broken down.

Sounds to me like the Forerunners were doing some experiments with the Lekgolo.

What about the Lekgolo isn't normal?

Mr. Admirals · December 14, 2014, 05:33:47 PM

Dunno. Just sad it's a new strain. Would appear so given how hostile they are.

To me the first and last episodes were the most memorable. What happened in between seems sort of a blur now looking back. Was hoping to learn more about this human-killing element, but it looks like we will all have to wait.

Same with me. I basically stopped posting there a little bit before October. The #Gayman forum got overrun with Destiny shit and I got sick of the new users. So I went here to get away from it and to post with people that basically made Bnet what it is for me.

Is it worth watching at all?

It's OK, not the best, just meh, i think Forward Unto Dawn did a better job then Nightfall IMO.

I dont like it due to the fact that it has no effect on the Rest of the Halo Universe and no payoff.

The final Second Story actually implies there are still significant quantities of the element in existence.

Also, is it necessarily a bad thing it didn't affect universe directly? Is that not one of the complaints received regarding how the player supposedly required external knowledge to fully understand Halo 4's story?

Sigma617 · December 15, 2014, 02:15:46 AM

I watched it all tonight and it was thoroughly meh.

The only interesting Second story thing at all is the first one on the last episode.

So do weapons need to be "powered up" in order to shoot?

Looks like it.

Why? Seems logical that 500 years from now our weapons will be heavily mixed with digital tech.

It also might have to do with the Smart Scope, though I don't know if they had NTs.

The Lord Ruler · December 15, 2014, 09:27:01 PM

I enjoyed it.

a good morality vs survival story

Plus you know Lekgolo are cool

oh and aiken was cool too and locke seems like a good character

Sigma617 · December 15, 2014, 09:29:24 PM

Also, I didn't know the name of any of the characters except locke.

I renamed the girl character Boobs.

RomanGladiator · December 15, 2014, 09:58:33 PM

I thought the actor that played Aiken gave the best performance, better than Locke's.

Jocephalopod · December 15, 2014, 10:37:07 PM

came for the halo stayed for the tits

LordoftheVoid · December 16, 2014, 12:09:18 AM

I thought it was ok.
