Oh wait, no I won't, because it's included in the wonderfully delicious Black Edition I've preordered! *Cackles*

Damn, I've not paid for a game OST ever. If they get released its usually free. Orange Box, DoW, PJ Eden etc.
Or you manually grab the files form the install folder anyway.
The music could be good, but its worthless without the accompanying game.
Also this expanding DA:O ad is fucking annoying. It expands right over the comment box, but slow enough that as you pass over it to type in this box it comes down and you click the ad. Also when it opens and you don't click ion it it just stays open till it closes on its own ( yeah that X in the corner don't work properly) #assassinscreedii

There are many examples of games that are terrible and have great soundtracks. My ultimate favorite is Unlimited Saga. I would much rather have the soundtrack than the game.
I am a huge game soundtrack fanatic and will sometimes buy the soundtrack even if I don't like or don't have the console on which the game is released. #assassinscreedii

But for the most part you only enjoy the songs for the game linked to them.
I'd wager you'd find it very hard to enjoy a OST of a game you've never played.
I know I do.
e.g the "your fave FF track" threads that get started on TAY, I find it hard to listen to the tracks from games in the series I've yet to play. Even when they are in the same style, and by the same composer as the tracks I love.
Edit: case in point the Soul Edge track D-K linked. I've not played Soul Edge.
I wouldn't actively choose to listen to that music. I have no event or character to tie it to. It's meaningless to me.

It marked the blossom of arcade-to-console ports. mumbleamongstsomeothersiguessmumble #assassinscreedii

One of my favorite movie soundtracks is from The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin and I have never seen the movie. A lush orchestral score is going to be enjoyable regardless of whether you know the original media it was created for. #assassinscreedii
