How did I know it would be Engineering? Banger track.

People say the OST ruins the atmosphere. They're wrong.

>>743434401
because people are retarded and have shit taste

i remember being told by everyone to "turn off the music" before I first played through years ago for MUH ATMOSPHERE. Glad I didn't listen.

Yeah but some of the music choices are bizarre. This is the final boss music:

One of my friends hated that ending. I thought it was appropriately hilarious.

>>743434401
Some people think it's supposed to be a slow, suspenseful horror game. I don't think they ever make full use of the fact that you're a cybernetic super soldier who can become a killing machine.
>>
>>743434401
Ops 2 is the best track from the game.

I think the intended experience for SS2 was way closer to something like quake than most people realize. It's only really retrospectively that people have started to treat it like a pure survival horror game.

But yeah, the music is kino

>guy who bought SS2 because he liked Thief running through Medical for the first time

>>743434401
It's just a deck or two that plays fast paced techno music for a section. Otherwise the music is tense and atmospheric, and the atmosphere is ruined by turning it off.

Supposedly this was going to be a joke ending, but they ran out of time and it became the only ending. I like it though, you go through hell and come across the AI God responsible, and your response to her offers to rule under her are is the most disinterested "nah" you'll ever hear.

>>743435870
sounds satanic

>>743434401
the music rules, just not when I'm playing the game

>>743434863
no, those people are 100% correct, and obviously so at that.

>>743434401
Same goes for System Shock 1. I was disappointed that the remake went for a more generic ambient for the soundtrack and even then the sound mixing is buggy as fuck so you might just not hear it at all.

>"techno garbage"
I have a burning desire to beat up every single motherfucker that says this about the SS2 soundtrack.
>>
>>743435870
The final boss itself was a rushed mess, IIRC. I think Levine also regretted it and was embarrassed by it and the ending.
