yeah. I never knew if they were joking about the brain damage thing, or if they were serious. They leave it very vague. I love itgizmo2300 said:

Dammit, I had just successfully repressed "Other N" until you made me think of it again. The game I shall not name would beg to differ.Soylent Bacon said:
I kid you not, I have three friends who played through the entirety of Portal loved the game, and only found out in conversation after completion that the player character is a woman. I guess some pay attention better than others, but it was a complete surprise to them.Soylent Bacon said:
I seem to remember reading it somewhere on her page on the Combine Overwiki [http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Chell], but I may be mistaken. The link's there, anyway, so I suppose we'll see.Andsre said:
She's definitely either the daughter or adopted daughter of one of the employees, though, as -
Her name is on one of the science projects in the 'Bring Your Daughter to Work Day' array
Both have an uncanny amount of determination which allows them both to do stuff that would otherwise be considered impossible (end of Portal 2 Boss Fight/Metroid Prime 3) but like people have pointed out, the difference between a Valve first person protagonist and a Nintendo silent protagonist is that the Valve guys don't get any say in the matter at all and it can be argued that both Gordan and Chell fight more for survival than anything. Mario and Samus both put themselves voluntarily into danger, Link does similar although the whole Destiny thing confuses matters.
its because he played it on xbox there was a version released on xbox live called portal still alive it came with extra challenge rooms and things for people who had finished portal and were willing to pay 1200 ms points in order to get portal but witha few more maps.FallenTraveler said:
needless to say i got it
Don't. To be honest. I never played it, and the story doesn't sound too bad as far as I can tell, but even when not playing it, I can tell they got it wrong. To be honest even though they filled in Samus' blank story background, it's easily ignorable. This is Nintendo. The company that thought the Wii was actually the better of the seventh gen consoles. Nintendo is on a all time low, and most of us know it... To be honest, Chell hasn't been such a success character-wise, she has no back, or front-story. It's like she is just a tool to the portal franchise. GLaDOS is the main character of portal, and there's no denying it. Even as a potato, she still has the wit to be who she is. See, Chell has no story, because we don't need to know who she is. She's easily disposable, as shown by portal 2 (Which I will not spoil, and which is probably why you think she is the next Samus.), especially in co-op mode in which Atlas and P-body actually show more of a story than Chell. If any character(s) from Portal are 'Samuses', it's Atlas and P-body. Mainly though, they will NEVER match up. Samus went for a good 7+ games without a backstory, THAT is what made Samus 'Samusey'; until she had a voice that is. The thing with Samus. Is they took away the thing that made Samus her. Nintendo messed up BIG style on this. In Metroid other M, she might as well be a different person... To be honest it would have been good to give her no personality but a story told through the other characters. In a "Master chief, but more descrete, which is also a chick, and less faggoty" way.rancher of monsters said:
I'm not going to say that that logic is sexist, but I can't help but think this question is inspired by the fact that they're both female.
They do have some striking similarities to their backrounds and locales. They're both orphans, they're both equipped with cutting edge technology, they're both experienced in taking orders from and terminating advanced AI systems, and they're both independent and, for the most part, isolated from humanity. But their character's- I don't think you really have enough to go on for either one of them. We know especially little about Chell.
