Seeing these remarks on the H2A soundtrack after having previously gone back and forth a bit on it makes me feel guilty, hopefully the callout of the difference didn’t lessen the experience. I don’t know about you, but I’m often blissfully ignorant until something just slightly negative is pointed out and then it becomes a bother. Glad you enjoyed it, either way!
The H3 start was jarring for everyone though. I think one of the books gets into the details for what happens between 2 and 3, but not any of the ones I read. The short version is “Chief really wanted to go home to earth, so he got on a covenant ship going home. When they didn’t go straight to the surface, he tried to do the sonic adventure 2 opening and surfed on a door from orbit down to the ground”
No worries, it’s not your fault - I simply found the tracks in the second half of the game to be weaker than the early ones. If anything I’m the opposite and tend to be way more critical about stuff that gets hyped up by everyone while trying to keep an open mind about things others complain about.
I remember surfing from one of the trailers, I think, I just hoped there’d be at least a short sequence on the ship and that surfing itself would be a part of the game (I expected a cutscene honestly). As good as these games are there are still some parts that feel a bit rough and unplanned. Oh well, it’s not a huge issue.
