-Music/soundtracks have become extremely subdued to not scare away those with narrow tastes. again not a very subtle decline but I seem to be the only one that ever complains about this, which is shocking.
Retards whining about the System Shock 2 soundtrack was the beginning of this.
I like you. "Retards" would be my desired word choice in this context too, regardless of the high degree of subjectivity involved with music taste. Even if you dislike the 4 astounding and diverse yet entirely fitting Drum n Bass tracks because you got beat with the sissy stick and obviously chugged too much soy, the majority of the remaining music (8 tracks?) is indivisive, subtle, horror, tension-building masterpieces, and the game's soundtrack is, like many greats of the 90s, absolutely as important to the experience as the gameplay, visuals, story and whatever else. Fucking retards is right!
