I'm in shock right now. Truly in shock.

Am I bad for not caring?

You can not care, but Clint's my favorite movie composer ever. Better than John Williams and anyone else in the field.

I'm happy for you and others then ^-^

Thanks.

The whole reason I brought it up though was because it's convinced me to buy the game. May seem silly to let something like that influence my decision, but I really think he's that good. My dream would be for him and Yasunori Mitsuda to produce their own album or something.

Are you planning on getting the other two first? As someone who has played ME 1+2, it's an infinitely better experience if you know what's happened before. You really get attached to the world and its characters, not to mention your own Shepard.

Music is only one small aspect of the greater whole. I'm surprised only the potential for superior music was enough to alter your buying decision. You could always skip the game and buy the soundtrack...

That said, Mass Effect 2 was truly awesome, even with its flaws. I had my reservations going in, but it won me over. Mass Effect 3 is an automatic buy. Too bad I lost my Mass Effect 2 clear save and will have to replay half the game again... *sigh*

Ouch. >.< That sucks. I'm glad you liked the game though. I've been hearing the same kind of thing from a lot of people who bought ME2 for their PS3s. They hadn't expected to like it as much as they did.

I don't have a 360, so I'll have to make due with PS3's 2 and Mass Effect Genesis to fill me in with what's going on. I'm only worried because I wasn't completely impressed with Knights of the Old Republic. When I get a 360 (which will be a long time from now, since I'd like a PSP and 3DS first), I also plan on playing the entire trilogy on there.

And I suppose I could get the OST, but I've been interested in trying Mass Effect for a while, but needed that one thing to tip the scales to convince me to buy it. This composer is it.

I'm still on the edge. I'm just not sure you know.

[magusgs]

Knights of the Old Republic is stat-based. Mass Effect 2...is not. Mass Effect 1 is more of a hybrid. The Mass Effect series was designed from the ground up to be a cinematic experience, much moreso than KotOR. And of course, without the Force, the entire game is much less focused on the whole alignment thing. I'd say that, overall, the Mass Effect series feels much more "real", but at the same time not quite as "elaborate". I liked both series though.

[Phoenix_Apollo]

I do love my cinematics. <3

But hows the battle system? I was really annoyed how I couldn't really do anything but watch and heal in KOTOR. Is it more like an action game where you actually pull the trigger and stuff? I could get behind that.

Yes. Mass Effect 2 was targeted right at gamers like you. That was the very reason I had reservations about the game before I played it.

[Phoenix_Apollo]

Why, does ME1 have the qualities I might not like?

[magusgs]

ME1 is more stat-based, and therefore somewhat more complex. You're still pulling a trigger, but your accuracy is determined by your weapon stat and the current "heat level" of your weapon. You also have unlimited ammo, so you can often stay behind cover and slowly whittle down the enemy.

By stat-based do you mean more RPGish? Just curious.

[magusgs]

Yes. Mass Effect 1 is an RPG with shooter mechanics. Mass Effect 2 is a shooter with RPG mechanics.

Thanks. It sounds like I'd prefer Mass Effect over Mass Effect 2. :S
