  As I was writing the body of the post, that’s pretty much the conclusion I came to.
  There’s not much more I could say with my limited knowledge on philosophy and psychology without spreading misinformation or something.

  You’re welcome, though keep up your post chain with the two remaining good ones first ;^;

  I wouldn’t know, actually. Halo 4 is the last game whose campaign I played - since H4 is in the MCC, H5 is not on PC, and H:I costs too much for my opinion of it.

  Halo 5 is infamously more book-dependent than Halo 4, and …

  (spoiler block that I should have used in my previous comment)

  the two things in H:I that follow from H5 are cortana bad and Infinity runs away

  … , so IF you want to skip Halo 5, at best, you may be missing how you ended up where H:I begins.
  There may be a reference to a certain Spartan Locke here or there, idr.

  I don’t want to spoil your fun, so I’d say you should run through H5 if you’re planning to play Infinite and if (unlike me) you wouldn’t have to buy an Xbox to do so.

  To answer your first question: I can’t say too much about a game that I only vaguely remember from watching a playthrough on YT, but from what I do remember, H:I is somewhat more self-contained.

  Would’ve bet my money on that exact outcome *^*

  The fact that you didn’t really understand the plot is not your fault: 343I Halo games until H:I have an obsession on requiring you to read books to straighten up the story.

  If you have questions such as:

  1. Why are the covvies the baddies again?
  2. What does the Halsey cutscene have to do with anything?
  3. Who the hell is the Didact?
  4. Why the hell is the Didact doing things?
  5. Who the hell is the Librarian?
  6. Spartans on the Infinity? Wasn’t 117 the last Spartan or something?
  7. Was that ending a QTE?

  … it’s because none of those questions are answered within the main plot of H4.
  Some answers (3,4,5) you can find in books, some (1,2,6) in Spartan Ops (I never even played those), some (7) here on Lemmy - yes that was absolutely a QTE for a final boss in a Halo game.

  If it’s any consolation for Cortana’s death being undone later offscreen, SPOILER AHEAD, her death’s undoing is also undone later offscreen.

  I wouldn’t blame you, many people wonder what kinda halo looking game Halo 4 is

  I definitely want a follow-up with your opinion of the ending, since you aren’t there yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see any point in claiming free games from it.

  If by any chance one of the games I might ever want to play becomes a freebie, then I would simply browse my backlog rather than forsake my principles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamers, what are your favorite OSTs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bungie-era Halo has the best OST in the industry hands down, though recently Lunacid let me hear some certified bangers; someone here mentioned B:G&E, and I second that opinion although I wouldn’t have thought of it myself.

  That’s a trick question. Feathers have lower density than bowling balls; a ton of feathers would have a larger volume compared to the same mass in bowling ball, thus they’re heavier

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I first played FL I thought it came out with all the others *^*

  I don’t outright dislike X4, but IMO it feels too… streamlined, in a way. You’ve got less wares, less ships, less sectors, no jumpdrive (yes I see the reasoning, no I still want the jumpdrive), the Xenon lost their aesthetic just to look like Mass Effect reapers, and fuckers stole my magnificently redundant ship classes. Can’t have ship in Detroit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  X3: Terran Conflict.

  Yes, we got X3FL in 2021 AND X4, but X4 is a very different game and X3FL is just a heavily scripted X3AP (more or less).

  It’s a more-than-me years old game with a lot of mods that keep it enjoyable to day – as “enjoyable” as it can be, that janky piece o’ junk – but I feel about it the same way I feel about Halo 2: imagine what it could have been, if the devs had the resources they could have today. (if you say “X4” I’m going to fucking flip)

  True, however - as I replied to a similar remark - the (presumably humorous) comment that keeps getting downvoted is technically correct
