I personally have to disagree with you.
I like the personality cores.
And Mods like Portal Stories: Mel and Portal: Revolution are absolute masterpieces.
Putting GLaDOS in there would be hard because I don’t think it’s that easy to get her voice actor.
And I personally like the personality cores.
in all fairness, using GLaDOS could often come off as a cheap trick for shock value, and old aperture us used in a lot of other mods, and also, GLaDOS is just a fat personality core.
Now having finished Reloaded, and enjoying it greatly now that I finally gave it a second go and got a handle on the time portal mechanics and having to search for this almost four month old post now that I can comment on it, calling Reloaded a "story mod" is giving it way, way too much credit.
Nothing happens. It's just a string of 25 chambers where you're given a bit of context on why you're going through them between chambers, but ultimately, there's no real story or events that happen during the mod. Both endings leave much to be desired with one of them essentially making the entire trip through the mod pointless, and the other obviously not having happened considering, well, the two original games.
You can dislike the other mods' voice acting, their characters, the writing, etc., but they actually have characters and stories and Reloaded absolutely falls flat in that area. I still absolutely recommend Reloaded because the chambers are fun and interesting to solve, but I believe saying it's the only "good" story mod is simply false.
Yeah, nobody's going to read this except probably the OP when they get a notification for it and this is a on a Memes section post to boot, so i'm just dumping words into the void so I can move on and revisit other mods I never finished, like Blue Portals.
Okay guys I'll be honest I did not like reloaded. I don't know why, I just can't stand it for some reason.. Its just so.. so.. I don't even know WHY I don't like it I just don't for some reason.
I wanna like it but can't, I do think one of the reasons is cause the voice of the.. Whatever it is is just a bland TTS voice with no personality.
naw for me, the voice works becuz its the announcer voice from the beginning kf portal 2, and it delivers its jokes in a similar way to portal and theyre written like a portal game without being obvious reuses of ingame jokes, and personally the cores from the other mainstream mods are more annoying to me personally and theyre just written badly, like i think theres potential but they just dont land for me as is becuz they feel like theyre trying to be portal 2 again without understanding how its narrative and jokes function
Oh well now I'm actually impressed he's so good at sounding like a TTS bot. Either way I still don't really like it but it that is pretty dang interesting so thanks :D

do not disrespect portal stories mel
and revolution
I like them cores though
Yes, I don’t see the problem with them. I like funny stupid cores that do core things.
I tend to agree that the core companion thing is overdone.

Portal mod try to be good challenge (impossible)

I can see where you are coming from, though I personally still don't like it. To each their own! And thanks for replying <3
The voice isn't TTS, it's Harry101uk. They're is BTS videos about it on YouTube.

reloaded was fun, when the chambers weren't absurdly difficult
the difficulty is part of the fun part personally, ^-^
