Content cut from Destiny and put behind a paywall?
This is not our Bungie anymore.

That doesn't necessarily mean the content is on the disk though. In either case, that just looks like Modern AAA gaming to me.
Dear God!
Is Destiny still P2P? I don't recall any discussion about dedicated servers
If so I'm impressed how good the coop feels. Maybe it's just 'cause everything is so bullet spongy but I've played with people from the US, England and Australia in the same game and it was smooth for everyone. Which really doesn't happen in Halo for some reason
Hopefully 343i improve on that for Halo 5.

Dedicated servers, even in Australia.

The past couple nights I've gotten sucked into reading more of the lore of the Halo universe. Stuff that I've missed, especially between 3 and 4. It's some very interesting stuff. I'm always surprised how well the pieces fit together with the different people contributing. It has been at least 3-4 different writers creating the lore right?
That Human/Prophet alliance during prehistoric Humanity was pretty surprising. Also I had forgotten about the Precursors and their influence on the Forerunners and Humans.
Are there other lore buffs in here?

There's definitely a few lore nerds in here. I think most of us are at least a little interested. Check out the lore thread for dedicated lore discussion.

Yup.
Hey Der, did anyone comment on the other planet destinations your site scraping revealed?
You just made my night. Thanks.

We already knew the planets existed within the Destiny lore, you can unlock some of the cards already.

What's the word from 343 on showing Combat Evolved footage from the Master Chief Collection? Have they showed anything?
Along with one of the multi maps being set on Mercury.

I'm pretty sure they said they'd be showing it "within a month" at one of the recent conventions... Which was about a month ago? Can't remember exactly.

Felt that way even in the beta. Which is a main reason I didn't buy it at launch. Game always had that nagging feeling of "you'll need to buy every DLC to see what's behind door #2."
If it's really content that's just locked on the disc (ie; the download for the DLC is just a 1MB key) then that's a slap in the face.
edit - Xbox.com lists expansion one at 9.51MB and expansion two at 9.5MB (could just be placeholders or could be the entire game is already on your disc/download and the DLC is just simple unlock codes).
In that case I WILL watch it

Just don't limit your perspective of her character to those 2 games. She was gone most of 3 and 4 was focused on her breaking down.
I think once an AI (or anything really) reaches that level of intelligence it is no longer a tool as it has a will of it's own. In your opinion at what point does something cease to be a tool and have value as a being? Or is that just not ever really a possibility?
Then there is the question of whether a being is necessarily more "valuable" as a character than a "tool" as you put it.
LOVE PLOTS
The romance between Chief and Cortana never really bothered me
awkward nipple touching aside
I've always thought it could go either way. Hell as long as it doesn't hijack the plot it could be an interesting thing to explore especially with the whole "she is more human than he is" thing.
Is a love plot necessary? No.
Do I think it ruins anything. Nope.
Just don't let it consume the plot 343 and have Cortana be an equal and a partner not just a love interest in distress.
Sounds about as plausible as anything.I had an interesting conversation with a friend about Halo 5's story. Here is what we have come up with:
Cortana's main program is currently on a save place with the Librarian. She will become the first human technology based AI, that will "live" forever.
ONI will find clues/proof of Cortana not being dead and they will withhold that information from Chief. Master Chief will then find it out/go crazy and be pissed at ONI. That's when he starts to search for more clues about Cortana on his own, without permission from ONI. ONI will send Agent Locke after him and he'll visit the Arbiter on Sanghelios to find out more about him (reveal trailer). When he has enough information, he will start chasing the Chief through the universe. Meanwhile, Chief will rescue Dr. Halsey from the Covenant Storm faction and together, they will rescue Cortana.
---
Thoughts?
Chief could easily be searching for Cortana but on the other hand he might just be trying to finish what they had started. I wonder what even drives him at this point. Is it for humanity? Himself? Just the thrill of it? At this point, after all he's been through, I gotta wonder what's going on in his head.
Not one I've ever been to

I guess it was a blessing that Halo survived with 343i.
Goddammit on the Bioshock Infinite spoiler a page back. I got one major plot point spoiled for me before launch and put off playing it for a while as a result. Just finished building a cheap gaming PC and was going to fire up Infinite this weekend and just got another huge point (ending) spoiled for me. Goddammit I'm cursed with this game.
Seriously, Bioshock was one of my favorite games ever and I was so hyped for Infinite that I refused to watch any trailers or anything so I would go in completely blind. I'm not blaming the person who wrote the spoiler as I understand it's been like a year or so since release, but just saying how much my luck sucks.
On a similar note, I had the sixth Harry Potter book spoiled for me in the airlift on Ivory Tower during Halo 2 matchmaking. Wound up taking a several year break from the series because I lost the motivation to read it at that point.

After a year spoilers are pretty much free reign imo.

Sorry mate. I don't care about spoilers but I don't try and be a jerk about it.
I wouldn't feel discouraged. Infinite is a good game with a really involving story, and there's a lot of twists to the end.
I feel a sudden urge to make random GIFs
It's Shamamlama pretzel levels of twists. Only back when he actually knew how to make movies.
