Cortana wasn't simply programmed. And even if she was, so? Philosophically speaking the same could be said about us. Arguing that an AI cannot really feel emotions is as futile as me arguing you can't.


So, what, I should start treating my PC as a real person? My silverware? Should I spill my feelings to my couch? Computers can't feel emotions, because they aren't alive. Living things (arguably) can. It's silly to fixate on an inanimate object pretending to feel emotions.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

Halo 4 hate train? I have to agree with him. The story was sub-par, badly told, and rushed out of proportion. Though here we are throwing around these... these disgusting OPINIONS! So quite clearly he's an idiot and lacking manhood for believing otherwise instead of blindly accepting that it "was a good story". Oh, but because I dislike the story, I must be on the hate train too! Because if I have my OWN opinion and reasons for them, I have a small dong as well!

Is that right? The only thing laughable here is your assertion that any who dislikes the game is a moron when there are many reasons evident for why it could be disliked by a massive audience.


You guys really like to blow out of proportion my initial post that was clearly a joke.

Have your opinions; I'll have mine. That's all they are: opinions.

The world is not beautiful: And that, in a way, lends it a sort of beauty.

Probably some kinect game or cod clone.

and lol at people saying halo 4, there's certainly other stories that are objectively worse, but the flood is known for jumping on the bandwagon every chance it gets.

The question of AI in the Halo universe is when have they evolved to the point to be considered seperate individuals in their own right. Obviously your PC isn't a sentient, but an AI as advanced as Cortana was--or became sentient right before her death, symbolized in her physical body made from hard light.

The only thing that seperates us from the extremely advanced AI like Cortana is what we're made of. The question is at what point do they become real.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Out of EVERY GAME released in 2012, people pick games like Halo 4 or Mass Effect 3.

EVERY

GAME
To be fair, Mass Effect 3's ending is among the worst pieces of writing I know of, bar none.


But the rest of the game was fantastic and incredibly fun to play.

How could you say a game that actually reduces people to tears has the worst story of every game released this year.

Yes, such a fantastic amazing game

Man, the thane scene was much better, more badass.

"Life to you stepson and everlasting glory. " Thifes World.

The Waabulance pulled up and said ME3 was not what you thought it was. Now to shoot down that the fact it was a great game over all is just quite a bit of trolling.

To be honest none of you know there is a DLC for Mass Effect three that adds to it to fill in the story rather nicely. Whelp lucky for you i have given you the info.

Now as stand alone it was the end of the game in the third series. Not even close to a bad storyline. So Download the DlC then post otherwise move on to another game. Quit trolling ME3 please.

To counter the hate it had allot of good game play and allot more involved not to mention the new Leviathan DLC. Not to mention the customizable wepons and other stuff they put in.

Don't hate that Shepherd died again. You just mad because they are not going to do a ME4.
