My final words on the topic ... for the moment | |
Posted By: Jillybean <jillybean@bungie.org> | Date: 11/7/11 12:31 p.m. |
In Response To: Re: I think I'll simply say... (Leisandir) In my opinion, the intent was to make those scenes feel like a rape, and nothing a Bungie or former Bungie person has ever said has changed my mind. This saddens me because I don't feel like it was handled in a sensitive, or thought provoking manner. To me it was simply the motivation for the Chief to rescue his little woman, and I want my games to be better than that. But that is my opinion of their intent and I know it is not gospel. Now, regardless of Bungie's intent, there is my experience of playing the game. The level 'Cortana', to me, feels like going through a big vagina. The character Cortana seems to be raped, to me. These things greatly reduce my enjoyment of the game. I don't replay Halo 3 very often. I don't much like the story, I don't much like what happens to any of the characters, and I particularly don't like playing a game where I feel like I'm observing a long, protracted rape sequence. So do I get a bit 'hysterical' in these threads? Maybe. But the way the game, and particularly the Cortana stuff, affects my enjoyment of the series is no small thing.
