Stop replying to me. You're a zoomer with bad taste.
i accept your surrender and grant you mercy
You'll never have a house or a wife.
no I'll not follow in your footsteps anon
Kek this is the very definition of nostalgia blindness, you stuck in the past homosexual.
Kek this is the very definition of recency bias, you trend-hopping homosexual.
Crusader is OBJECTIVELY one of the best game soundtracks of all time. Prove me wrong. Post just one that's better.
>Post just one that's better.
Deus Ex
Still agree though
I'm happy now too, do you happen to be projecting
Explain this anon
i think you should explain yourself, that's very AGP behavior

Did you miss the part part where he said "despite not playing them"?
Only the first part
israelites infiltrated the games industry and oversaturated it
they hollywoodification of video games soundtracks has been a disaster for games.
now every games has to have some ugly hans zimmer ish score to be considered a good ost.
>the hollywoodification of video games has been a disaster for video games
ftfy
man one this i don't get is people who say hans zimmer is good
he made like 2 good soundtracks (pirates come to mind) but he's generic as frick
Its for gays who want to seem cosmopolitan but think classical music is too unapproachable. So they brag about listening to film slop instead.
Stop. Instead listen to the music that every videogame composer stole from instead.
Checkm8
They are both great.
This. Jap jazz fusion is amazing. Also check out T-Square.
DOOD chanting in Blizzard/Halo/Bethesda games. Its liek I'm watching a moobie.
So epik and not derivative as frick.
>listening to a game's OST before playing the game, spoiling yourself on the game and divorcing the song from it's context.

>spoiling yourself on a song
If anything repetition helps build songs up in your mind as good, if it's good on a first listen it would have always sounded good, if it's not good on a first listen without the context then it'll sound better when you actually hear it in the game even if you forgot it.
There are some pieces of music that definitely benefit from context, most recent example I can think of: "Herald of Darkness" from Alan Wake 2 sounds like a cheesy rock song without much to it when listening to it on youtube. In-game, it'a still cheesy, but perfecrly compliments the insanity sequence going on in the game.
Also, I firmly believe that your first impression to any medium of art is incredibely important. I have also heard game OST's without playing the game before, but it's something I try to avoid.
One of my favorite music-related feelings is "it feels like I've heard it somewhere before", composers also tend to abuse this bias by forcing leitmotifs or sampling old melodies and tracks. I love when I'm playing a game for the first time without hearing its OST before and still find a track that feels familiar, that feeling can be emulated by actually hearing the track beforehand but also forgetting about it consciously by not listening to it again and hearing lots of other music in the meantime.
For example I listened to the Pokemon Colosseum OST before I played the game and thought there were no noteworthy tracks in it and basically forgot about it for months, then I actually got around to playing the game and several tracks hit me with "whoa this is really good" revelations that I doubt I would've had if I didn't hear the OST before, even though they were forgettable initially.
Well, If you are enjoying yourself and if you feel like it improves games for you, then that's all that matters. Even if that wouldn't be my approach personally, like I explained previously.
Ive been playing Kanon recently after years of listening to the OST. Some of the tragics force me to stop reading and shed a tear. Orito is a genius.

>itt highschoolers that struggle with real music bashing eachothers skull in over 4/10 electronic tunes
You can't appreciate music until you've studied it. You can't even put into words your opinion, you're trash.
if I like it, then its good music

what a fricking pretentious and condescending homosexual you are.
How can it be both?
You're so cool anon!
Get over your self gay this anon is right:
If that anon is right why do you need to convince me?
Not telling morons they're moronic is exactly why we now have men calling themselves women.
You didn't call anybody a moron.
The funniest part about this thread are the homosexuals implying a soundtrack isn't good because they just don't like the game it's from lmao. Peak npc.
It be like that, also pick which one you prefer, FM or MIDI?
I want the bass of the FM mixed with the Roland SC-55
There are more old games than new games because "new" is 2-3 years and old is over 50 years. As simple as that, Anon.
Did you even read the OP? Only 10% of the songs are from the last 15 years, which is almost half of the modern home console vidya era (1983-today)
Not him but let's put it this way, the 80s and 90s had much better videogame soundtracks (frankly this is true for any music in general too) than any decade after that
>post example of good music from newer games
>instant kneejerk reaction reply within 10 seconds telling you its shit from the thumbnail or game name
there I predicted how every post itt will play out
Have you considered the fact people have already played the games and know their music is shit?
Find a more soulful song in a jrpg from the past decade. (You can't)

>dude quantity good
He isn't an interesting person all he did was brag about the sheer volume of his consumption
You never played Xenoblade 1, 2 and 3 is what happened.
How do you know their OSTs aren't in the 5%
Several reasons:
Graphics happened. Music no longer needed to carry or legitimize the experience, and the industry in general has veered hard towards visuals while neglecting sound design because it's easier to sell a game on visual impressions alone. Music is now 'incidental' or 'atmospheric,' meaning it's deliberately designed to sink comfortably into the background. This means melodies are sparse, songs are vaguely structured, and there's very little harmonic complexity to satiate the ear. Nu-video game music is fine in context, but when listened to on its own, it's unsatisfying.
Also, old video game composers were steeped in 1970s prog rock, which was and will forever be the objective height of the white man's musical accomplishments. This fusion of classical complexity with the accessibility and visceral of rock produced a generation of composers that tried to ape that kind of vibe, especially in Japan. Uematsu, Mitsuda, Meguro, Sakuraba, and many others (including western composers like Alexander Brandon,) all admired and paid homage to prog rock, I would argue that prog rock helped to define the musical vibe of the games industry throughout the 90s and early 2000s. The further and further away from the "source" we get, the more impure and diluted those prog rock memes have become. New video game composers now ape other video game composers, and as a result, its beginning to degenerate.
Because video game composers and film / TV composers are overlapping more, we're also seeing increased degradation from the degrading tropes / poorly reproduced memes in those industries spilling over into video games. Movie directors have become increasingly lazy when making temp tracks, and there's a joke in Hollywood that virtually every director just uses the same ten popular songs from old movies over and over, so film music is now nothing more than a "reproduction of a reproduction of a reproduction." It's inbred, much like modern game music.
Final Fantasy sure stole a lot from this
You mean took inspiration and massively improved it
>and massively improved it
yikes
