While that all sounds really promising, I can't overlook the fact that the Chief has so little role in the game. So the whole thing might just be a side focus. But still happy to hear that there's a chance the real Cortana is still in there.

I can understand the temptation, since EUs are normally restricted to movies and TV shows, but in this case it's a game. So EU games for the main game, could seem like it could work. But that should only be for if the EU material isn't too drastically different from the main thing. There are some RTS which I can get enjoyment out of playing, but they very rarely pull me in. Generally when I'm bored with nothing else to do, and I probably will only play one I don't have to pay for.

Did they at least say they understood if people didn't like the gag, or did they say it should be someone everyone liked? Character development? That's a first time I've heard that word be used in that context. More like character destruction and complete replacement. The only development Zeke got was after he already got feralized, he slowly got more human and intelligent in TDAS (walking on two legs, and kidnapping Chris). But that's only after he had his character ploughed through first.

It's not the pairing itself that's the real issue. While it is a bit shallow to pair them only because of hair dye, that can be overlooked. However the way they decided to put them together was just terrible. There was no build up to them getting together, and it was blatantly forced upon the audience, with Gwen suddenly developing an obsession over Duncan. If they really had to go in that direction, they should have much more heavily explored Duncan and Gwen's friendship prior to TDWT, and actually give Gwen a reason to like him. The attraction came out of nowhere. In TDI, while she was the only one who could tolerate him, there was still a lot about Duncan that she did not approve and would not be attracted to him. Courtney and Duncan was unlikely enough already, but they had very special circumstances on how they got together. But Gwuncan had none of that. It's a shame really, with those triangle episodes, if you took out the actual triangle part not all of them are bad. But that aspect weighed the rest of the episode down.

I can respect that. I used to really like Sierra, but my opinion for her has dropped a bit. With TDAS Sierra it's a case of, "been there done that", only this time it was magnified to 10-fold worse. Almost every viewer saw that as the perfect opportunity to develop Sierra out of her stalker nature, but it got thrown out like everything else that season.

Thank you. Heh, although I not sure I want to think of myself as a full-time critic. That's more something I engage in some of the time, other times I'm just an editor on this wiki. Yeah, sometimes it's hard to see through to someone's good side. Due to personal experience, I try not to judge based on first impression. It is really nice that I found someone who understands my viewpoint and in very similar circumstances.

I'm pretty sure everyone would agree that it's the most gimmicky, even people who liked that. It's more of a fact than an opinion, even to those who like gimmicks. TDPI served as a reminder that they were still capable of making something that was not a complete blow-out. Not top of the line, but did restore a lot of people's faith. Though TDRR seems to have done an even better job on that part.

Well... that might be in part for a number of reasons. Chris has gotten a lot of karma, even if it has waned lately. Also, as obnoxious as Chris is, getting an equally horrid punishment might not necessarily be fun to watch. But personally, I do not approved that he has sunken to record lows and avoids any sort of retribution. Especially his recent handiwork of intentionally causing heartbreak and screwing over two potential couples for his own personal amusement.
