Crazy theories about games?

2) The CoD universe is simply a vast arena,observed by otherworldly entities for their own amusement as they place bets on different sides.

Might not be a theory so much as a fact(would have embedded but don't know how.)

3.Chell is actually cave jhonsons daughter...why? I dont know

"Remember, the Aperture Science Bring Your Daughter to Work Day is the perfect time to have her tested."

of coarse seems a little obvious though

I think by "testing" GLaDOS or mabye even the people from apature science were assesing weather certain people (the daughters) would be suitable test subjects (after she went through all the cats) assuming bring your daught to work day happened

you find out in the comic, in chells file she was actually rejected as a test subject becuae her tanacity level was waaay too high (as in she never ever ever ever gives up) and therefore as ratman belived, the right person to defeat GLaDOS

anyway this still dosnt make it anymore clear who chell is or weather or not her ending up at apature science was because of "bring your daughter to work day"...though its probably more likey than her being an employee

Samara from Mass Effect 2 is a fertile ardat yakshi.

I'm actually pretty certain about this one.

because she rejects the Idea of a relationship? well mabye, nto tha she doesnt already have a good reason

unless they outright stated that all ardat yakshi's are infertile thats an interesting Idea

1. Every war game franchise is (not-so) secretly trying to make you hate Russians
2. Mario Bros is really the psychedelic delusion of some Italian immigrant in Brooklyn, working as a plumber with a hate for turtles and love for shrooms and hard-to-get women.
3. Adrian Shepard is the one actually making the rebels win; Freeman is just a figurehead occasionally being in the right place and time with plenty of friends.
4. Dr. Breen was offered the position as the Earth's Administrator by Gman if he complied and had his testing unit cause a resonance cascade scenario.
5. Gman also caused the Combine to invade, selected Freeman, Shepard, and Calhoun to make certain events happen, and is actually trying to make the human race win against the Combine and become stronger from it, making us lose the 7-hour war first to let us remember how a dystopia was like, and how to prevent it in the future.

That's part of it.

a) She had three daughters. Every single one turned out to be an ardat yakshi. Either she is the unluckiest mother in history or there is something going on there.

c) During the fight, Morinth tells Samara that she is "only using the gifts you gave me." This would suggest that her condition was passed on through her mother.

b) Morinth also referred to herself as the "genetic destiny of the Asari". Samara later dimisses this as delusion. But Morinth never acted delusional. If she (Morinth) were the daughter of a fertile ardat yakshi (Samara) then her claim would make some sense.

d) Samara says that ardat yakshi get the option to live in exile. As a justicar, she's kinda living like that herself.

e) She's completely sworn off sex. To the point that she will make an implied threat of violence if you try to insist.

though isnt ardat yakshi caused by being pure blood? meaning they were more common during pre first concact days? I think samara is a pureblood, though an unluckey one

you dont have to be rambling and incomprehensible to be delusional, saren for example (though he was following what he decided was the best coarse of action he got that way eventually)

I think if they knew samara was an ardat yakshi they would have NEVER let her loose in the galaxy, ESPECIALLY with the powers of a justicar, whats to stop her going on a rampage? sure she may have excellent self control and may never hurt an innocent but if I had to make that call I wouldnt let samara go...though somhow they may not know if she is

yeah you do have some interesting points anyway

This is what i rekon will happen in Portal and Half Life

In Portal they make lots of references to Black Mesa and Glados talks about how the outside world is a bad place or something bad is happening up there.

So i rekon that Chell will Help Gorden Freeman stop the Combine or something

Isaac Clark doesn't speak in the first Dead Space game because he has a really bad sore throat.

Link in Legend of Zelda does not actually save the world, it is all in his childs vivid imagination. What he is actually doing is wandering around attacking the local wildlife until he meets the school bully who he stands up to for the first time.

Shepard is not actually brought back from the dead in Mass Effect 2, he/she is just dead and sent to hell to suffer the tedium of scanning planets for all of eternity.

 

[KingofMadCows]

Many of the ghouls in the Fallout universe are actually Chinese spies. Since their identity is protected by the mutation, they're unimpeded in their efforts to gather intelligence and prepare the wasteland for an invasion.

Kane's ultimate goal with his Tiberium experiments is gain control over Tiberium based lifeforms and technology, and then use the Scrin wormhole/teleportation technology to take over every Tiberium infested world in the universe.

 

[Caligulove]

The lack of adults, particularly males from 30-50 in the Pokemon universe, the lack of your character having a father- along with the comments of Lt Surge about an electric pokemon saving his life in "the war" suggest that Red/Blue places you as the first of a generation to grow up in a truly post-war Kanto. A war that your father and many other adult males died in. But a place that can actually try to regain some sense of normalcy.

Pokemon is now used simultaneously to give the children hope for the future with a goal like catching all 150 species instead of falling into depression or something, but to also honor the people who died during the war.


ALSO: not a solely game theory but that the plot of the movie 'Event Horizon' is actually the very beginning of Humanity's involvement in the Warhammer 40k universe

The Master Chief is Duke Nukem.

Dragon Age 2

Spoiler

I'm starting to think Flemeth isn't the Flemeth people think she is meant to be. I'm thinking she might be one of the Old Tevinter Dragon Gods (hence why Darkspawn won't approach her, even in the heart of the Blightlands) and the whole transforming into a Dragon (or rather transfroming into a woman). She eliminated and replaced Flemeth, as if anyone could tell the difference, before using the real Flemeth's grimoire to lay a trail of bread crumbs for Morrigan to follow to use the Eluvian.

It's also possible she is actually Fen'Harel, the Dread Wolf, hence her being summoned and restored by ancient Elvhen magic in Uthenara.

Mass Effect 2

Spoiler

Shepard is the first step in the Illusive man's attempts to create a Human form Reaper. Shepard technically isn't human anymore since he/she was rebuilt with a fusion of bio-synthetic chemicals. Reapers are composed of Organic and Inorganic materials.

This is what i rekon will happen in Portal and Half Life

In Portal they make lots of references to Black Mesa and Glados talks about how the outside world is a bad place or something bad is happening up there.

So i rekon that Chell will Help Gorden Freeman stop the Combine or something

even though Ive avoided all reading ect about portal (except the comic..that was awsome) isnt portal 2 suposed to be set Hundreds of years after the first? (chell being in stasis that long) that would mean that the conflict in half life would be over (although gman could possibly put gordon and alex in stasis I guess)

if that were true it would make for some interesting references

anyway Im not sure it is

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

Sandal from Dragon Age is the Maker and is the 1st Dwarf Mage

That is entirely possible, and I wouldn't even be surprised.

OT:Alan Wake has truly gone insane, and all those people that are covered by "The Darkness" are actually normal. He is just running around the night murdering everyone.

Dude, that's the backstory of a fanfiction.

Quite a good one, actually.

"The Great Will" in Dissidia is the player.

 

[northeast rower]

In Assassin's Creed you are actually playing as the son of desmond and reliving his memories of him reliving his ancestor's memories.

INCEPTION

My theory? The Strange Man from Red Dead Redemption is actually some sort of Saint Peter, trying to guarantee John absolution by giving him tasks and testing him. Should John help the people in need, he spends less time in Purgatory. This explains why the Strange Man meets John at the last point

Spoiler

at his future gravesite

I don't know about a crazy theory, but my suspicion is that Warhammer Fantasy takes place concurrently with Warhammer 40k.

The basic premise is simply that Orks occupy most corners of the galaxy for reasons that 40k never really chooses to explore. It simply seems that, if a planet doesn't have orks, some means will arrive that will allow them to travel to said planet. Furthermore, the Eldar of 40k are, for all intents and purpose, just Space Elves (unless they're dark Eldar in which case they are simply really Evil Space Elves) and they once controlled much of the galaxy until the fall (and the opening of the eye of terror along with the birth of Slaanesh). Given the enormous length of time between the fall and the current 40k setting, it seems reasonable that there was some isolated world of their empire that simply was not annihilated during the fall proper, largely thanks to competing powers. Supposing the webway access to said world collapsed for some reason (it doesn't really matter what that reason is), survival Eldar would be without the extremely advanced technology of their race and it seems reasonable that they would be forced to step back in technology simply to survive. The presence of humans is easy enough to explain: thanks to widespread colonization of the galaxy more than 10,000 years before the 40k timeline, people ended up on most planets that could support human life. During the crusade that resulted in the Imperium of Man and the Heresy, most of these planets were placed under the heel of the Immortal Emperor but, even according to the 40k fluff, the level of technological sophistication varies immensely and some are even described as "feudal". As for dwarves, that could simply be an example of mutation of humans or they might even be the native residents of the planet while Humans, Eldar and Orks are aliens. A notable problem here is that if said planet is a known part of the Imperium, it is only a matter of time before a crusade is launched that would exterminate at least the elves, probably the dwarves and, quite likely, most of the humans for collaborating with the same, and that's assuming Exterminatus was not enacted given the heavy Chaos presence on the world.

While the official

There used to be "space dwarfs" in 40K I think they were called squats. Also I think there is some some 40k novel that suggest that the Gods in Warhammar fantasy such as Sigmar was a space marine and the Orges maw thing they worship is something to do with tyranids. The novel never really said as to whether the marines got there through time travel or just found the planet; as they are said to have go into the eye of terror


*edit* this theory probably shouldn't be here as was once cannon and still is possible cannon as GW haven't denied anytihng yet.

Im talking about wild speculation, from the somwhat plausible to the rediculous, there was a similar thread I think a while ago..anyway

1. the Prothean beacon actually completley fried Shepards brain, now he/she is in an institution somwhere rambling about reapers...all the games are a dream (except the reapers ARE actually coming...)

2. Bioshock is actually set in the Pre-war fallout universe....

3.Chell is actually cave jhonsons daughter...why? I dont know

4. the Courier is the lone wanderer, well this could be true, its set up so you can role play him/her however you want, its quite possible,

all four protagonists of the fallout games were chosen by an unkown force to be super crazy talented heros in order to protect the wasteland...or they are all related in some what

OP, there is such a variety of games, and gamers, out there now that you shouldn't expect everyone who finds this thread to know what you're talking about. With the first point, at first I thought you were talking about Firefly/Serenity. I had no idea they made a game out of it. Do you get to wear the Jane hat?

oh well considering the demographic here, alot of us are bioware fans and therefore would know "shepard" and "prothiean beacon" and be able to put it together

same with Bioshock, fallout and Portal...especially Portal
