I'm aware of that.

Then you should also know that this is derailment.

I really don't think Halsey would've been allowed access to make another clone of herself and more or less kill it to make another Cortana.

But yeah, the ending is terribly awkward. First time I saw it I was just utterly confused as it seemed so horribly out of place. Even seeing it recently it's still very awkward, the dialogue is bizarre, there are things implied that probably weren't meant to be and those things make it even more awkward(Honestly, do you really think so many people thought 343i were making Cortana and Chief a couple for no reason?), and the whole nuke thing by itself is mind-numbing. Chief was pretty much standing on top of the ship, so about half of that blast should've gone off into space. Isn't the Didact's banana ship made out of majorly hardlight, or at least coated, how does Cortana's hardlight beat the warship's? How does the nuke magically get blocked by the hardlight when Chief's hands are holding the side of it and on the detonator? Why is Chief perfectly okay inside the hardlight box, but as soon as it goes away he's just laying there like he's crippled? How did Cortana talk to Chief inside his suit after the podium her chip was put into got blasted by the Didact? And like you said, how does she generate the hardlight box for Chief if everything outside is destroyed, where is she?

I mean you can't have an opinion on a game unless you've played it.

maybe you should have

fucking said that, then

Verbatim · April 17, 2015, 06:44:00 PM

and that's still bullshit, by the way

since i hate the FPS genre--i'm sick of it, i don't find it fun, it does absolutely nothing for me--i can make a reasonable assumption that i'm going to hate halo 4 as well

because how different is halo 4 honestly going to be from the average FPS game, let alone the rest of the halo series, which i put near the bottom of the pile

okay? even that doesn't make any sense, because you don't have to play the game to know the game's story

not that i care to learn it through other means

but his whole point was that i couldn't have an opinion on the game if i haven't played it yet
you can obviously have an opinion on the game's story, though, without playing it

so to tie it back to the OP, no, i think your assessment of cortana's design is a load of horsecock

I never said it would, but at least then your opinion would have some form of validity.

It would be like ranting about hating the experience of rock climbing when you've never done it in your life.

smart of you to use the term "experience" in there

because yeah, i actually can have an opinion on rock climbing, even though i've never done it in my life
just not the experience itself

the only thing i can't assert is my opinion on the experience of playing halo 4, because i've never had the experience
but i can still comment on the things that i see from it

and the thing i'm choosing to comment on from what i've seen is cortana's design
which is oversexualized, for the sole purpose of appealing to pubescent male gamers
it's just a fact

Halo 4 acts like there is a deep connection between the two that was formed in the past Halo games but it wasn't. It's only really fleshed out in the books which hardly anyone reads so to the average Halo player that only plays the games Cortana's death means nothing to them.

Well that's what happens when you change developer from one who barely puts a story together to one who at least tries to make one, even if you don't like it.

So, you can prove beyond the point of any reasonable doubt that Cortana's design was changed purely to give teenagers boners? Please, continue.

No

it's just common sense
if you can't see it, you never will

but it's obvious

Verbatim · April 17, 2015, 07:43:48 PM

it's just using logic

why would they make the AI female in the first place?
why would they give her a female form?

why did her femininity grow more defined as the series progressed?
