They never made a memorable soundtrack
>>728942330none of the souls garbage is memorable but lost kingdoms has a few 10/10 tracks as well as the sfx being amazing too.
>>728942330That's why people have been listening to the Bloodborne soundtrack as the definitive horror game soundtrack other than Silent Hill 2 for a decade.
>>728942627Snoys aren't people.
>>728942330AC nexus and 4
>>728942627Bloodborne isn't a horror game thoughever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl9FQIT-6iYFrequency days had a lot of bangars. Shame ac6 tracklist is so middling.
>>728942330AC6 balteus theme
>>728942330i liked some of the songs in demon's and bloodborne but that's it, and i'm an aboslute soulsdrone too
>>728942330but I do remember the soundtrack of every from game
>>728942330One word: Kota Hoshino
They're not a fucking music studio, retard.
>>728942330dark souls 1, 3, and bloodborne have some good ones.
>>728942330Demon's and Dark Souls 1 had some nice tracks in them. It's later games that devolved into "OOOHHHHH"s and generic chanting
>>728942330It’s not so much the music itself that makes it memorable but the actual gameplay and story that intertwines with the soundtrack. For example: the track secret betrayal in dark souls 3. You are told that linking the fire is the thing you MUST do, and it’s only when you meet with Yuria do you learn that the gods are basically sacrificing people for their immortality. You’re presented with this choice, link the fire and fulfill the gods wishes or go along with Yurias plan and be a lord of hollows. It involves all the forbidden and taboo aspects of the games lore, so when you reach that moment where you hand the fire keeper her eyes, and the music suddenly shifts. It’s a powerful moment in the game and it’s defying expectations placed upon you by the gods themselves. The music really brings it all together, it’s sad and somber with angelic vocals. It’s the sound of pain and sadness, but still powerful. https://youtu.be/A_LktJ14Kg8?si=pvpJOAEPYHpQEXNP
>>728942330t. never played Bloodborne
>>728942330Retarded soulsbab, PS2 and earlier armoured cores had amazing soundtracks
>>728942330*BHUM BHUM* haaaaAAAA*BHUM BHUM* HAAAaaaaa
>>728942330bloodborne is the only one that approaches memorability. But yeah, in general their music sucks dick.
>>728944000>DeSI curse you with dirty colossushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i4JP-NxfN8&list=RD_i4JP-NxfN8&start_radio=1
>>728942330I remember this one from DS1:https://youtu.be/tCZFx6cx7w8don't remember a single theme from Elden Ring however
The best songs that FromSoft have ever made are the Ornstein&Smough boss theme and the Great Shinobi Owl boss theme. I have them both on my exercise playlist, they get me all tingly with goosebumps.https://youtu.be/wPO-1AGdW98?t=466
>>728946145Every time I hear this song I want to replay dark souls
>>728942330They made a lot of faggy games, though.
It's memorable. Whether or not it's good is debatable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGJbuHUbw8k
>>728942330I like the one that went OOOHHHHHH
Bloodborne's music was their peakhttps://youtu.be/NjzF3XWrDdA
>>728946481well that sounds fucking horrible
>>728942330What even does the concept of a memorable soundtrack mean?
>>728946481Literal fucking peak. Bloodborne 2 never ever.
https://youtu.be/NlQcKBUcgmA
>>728946481Generic characterless orchestral mess, Elden Ring is full of generated garbage like that
>>728946145Takes me back to that late autumn of 2011 where I first played the game. Especially the first areas of the game like Undead Burg, Undead Parish, Darkroot Gardens had such a mystical, romantic vibe that not even FromSoft themselves has managed to replicate since.
>>728947003I love doing chalices and randomly running into some enemy you've never seen in 500 hours. Why did they do this?
>>728942330Elden Ring title theme is iconic
>>728946691Something that stays in your head long after you stopped playing. Tunes and melodies you can recall even years later and associate certain images and experiences with it. Music that stands out from the rest, when you hear a few seconds of it you can immediately say "yes, that's from XYZ".
>>728947262Not nearly as iconic as Majula zoom zoom
>>728947115If you can't hear the clear difference in quality between BB and DS3/ER OST, you shouldn't be allowed to give opinions on music. Most of BB tracks are performed by a live orchestra. While DS3/ER music is supplemented by digital instruments. Its very easy to hear if you have good ears.https://youtu.be/NHIkUzmNmc0
>>728947338I can do that with all DeS, DS1, and BB music. Play the first 15 seconds and I can tell you what boss its from. Those 3 are their most memorable music wise.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOxLVIPkHTs
>>728942330Pling pling plong is the most iconic final boss music in literal decades. And no I don't care how much you prefer (insert shit no one ever heard of here). Gwyn's theme solos
>>728947394>difference in qualityWe're talking about memorability, digital instruments or not makes no difference in that context. That BB track sounds no different melodically to every generic track that fromsoft did afterwards.
>HA HAHAHA HA>Pling pling plong
>>728946481>>728947003>>728947394>orchestraslop>memorablekek
>>728947775You just have bad taste. Not using digital instruments makes a world of difference. I think you just hate choir tracks no matter what they sound like, so your canned response to them is that they all sound the same.
I really fucking liked Aldia's theme. I liked the boss fight as well actually. It was neat they tried something different with his timed windows to get damage in before he gets a fuck ton of armor
>>728946326I unironically think this is great
>>728947941>>728947973
>>728942707>>728943051>>728943168>>728945341Armored Core doesnt count for some reason so dont even think about bringing those games up ever again
>>728942627Can you post an example of a memorable track (not denying. I just haven't heard it)
Every modern From soundtrack is good. Bloodborne, DS3, SOTE, and Nightreign are fantastic. If you consider a song "generic" because it doesn't have lyrics or a guitar, you are an intellectual child and should consider suicide.
>>728946326Well that was... something.
>>728948256https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k3XXGmu-dw&list=RD-k3XXGmu-dw&start_radio=1I always loved Laurence's theme. Sounds like a straight up symphony about satan's fall to hell. You can almost hear the moment it happens when the violin goes solo.
Every day I come here and see opinions that make it very clear why nobody takes opinions from people here seriously.
>>728947394It's two different types of generic. This actually sounds like a more cowardly version of your average generic horror soundtracks.
>>728948552>>728947973
>>728948548>I'm smart and right and everyone else is a DUMBYNo way! Me too!
>dumbyYou're going to say this was on purpose but the truth is you're just brown
>>728947973That's a cope and a half.
>>728944000>It's later games that devolved into "OOOHHHHH"s and generic chantinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwZ4h4wZp6o
>>728942330Wrong
>>728948737>admits I'm rightI accept your concession
>>728947973Objective, indisputable truth.
>>728942330they have never made a good software to begin with
>>728948719toxotranny moment
>>728948815I already accepted concession
>>728947973>>728948591BB has a fantastic soundtrack and Daughter of the Cosmos is literally the best song in videogames but there are compositional limits to live performance which make it not always the best option.
>>728948879You didn't refute anything. You just got caught in your canned response loop and then threw a cope error
>>728943541Tsukasa saito mogs kota
Dark souls 1 has killer boss soundtracks. Ornstein and Smough still gives me goosebumps.They never made a good song (or souls game) after that
>>728948927>there are compositional limits to live performance which make it not always the best optionI don't deny that, but as far as Fromsoft soundtracks go I don't think they've done anything better since Bloodborne. Its something that has disappointed me in DS3, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. Not that they don't have decent tracks in them, but they never reach the same heights in my opinion.
>>728942627>bloodporn>horror
>>728942330the elden ring main theme/radagon boss theme is really good
I like the Elden Ring Leyndell, Royal Capital music.I didn't like being there though.
>>728946326I want this to play at my funeral
>>728942330The PS1 Armored Core games have incredible soundtracks, zoom zoom.
>>728946089The Souls games desperately needed more tracks with personality like this one.
>>728949412I'd argue that all the AC osts have been great except for Last Raven and 6 both of which only have a couple stand out tracks
For me, it's the Owlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv6Dg1zIKiA
https://youtu.be/PPx0dqBuQR4
>>728949164Base game Elden Ring would be bloodborne tier if they didn't fuck up the tracks with loudness normalization. SOTE fixed this and is bloodborne tier, same with nightreign. Some of DS3 is also on that level but there's also a good amount of lame and just bad tracks.
>no one has posted Astraea's theme yethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgGjkxi_kGQ&list=RDSgGjkxi_kGQ&start_radio=1They really need to do more dynamic shit with the bosses talking to you like this again. Morgott did it I guess.
>>728950570>SOTE fixed this and is bloodborne tierYou are on drugs. I cannot remember a single theme from SOTE outside of Messmer and I played through it 8 times.
Their music is just as formless as generic tribal african music.
>>728942330your life must be really plin plin plon op
>>728942330https://youtu.be/ZfGqwHDK2Uw?si=fsrRuxXV83u_ohvn
>>728942330what about the one that goes AHHHHHHHHHH or the one that goes OOOOOOOOOHH?
They don't care for composers and ER using AI for their music is more proof of that. It's too hard for them to comprehend melody and coherent music.
>>728951123>ER using AI for their musicMe when I tell completely fabricated lies on the internet
>>728951164It's true. There was an article on it too.
>>728951291No you retard. It is music made digitally by their in house composers, mostly Yuka Kitamura. She also composed a lot of Bloodborne. AI was not making music like that in 2022 anyway you lying schizo
>>728951473>digitallyConcession accepted.
>>728947973No, it doesn't. It's all the same shit.
>>728951736My nigger are you under the assumption that digital music is the same thing as AI or are you trolling
>>728951473The lyrics where generated by a computer. Yes AI tools did exist before the 2022 boom.
>>728951865>canned responsethanks for proving my point
>>728951905What lyrics? They """lyrics""" were "generated by a computer" in the sense that they are just random orchestrals OOOOOOs and AAAAAAs made at a certain pitch like an instrument, but it's not the same as AI. It's just a sound font they used for certain parts of the music like the other instruments
>>728952152The not they
>>728942330"Plin Plin Plon"? anyone?>>728946145This shit loops in my brain sometimes.>a single theme from Elden RingFor me, it's the ambient track for Limgrave.>>728947786Yes.Also this shit is used in every Souls boss meme ever.https://youtu.be/wKPZMc0FpXo?si=1iX45y-UGPI2hrjS
>>728948195Why doesn't it count?
>>728952409Man I think DS3 is the weakest one but damn if that oh fuck moment with Vordt isn't iconic
>>728950812>I cannot remember a single themeThen I guess you're fucking retarded. And obviously a layman given your obsession with "memorability", as if your 85 IQ memory meant anything in regards to technical or creative merit.
>>728951123>>728951291>>728951905Procedural generation is not AI, retard. Also, it's how fucking ALL of these soundtracks have been done except for most of bloodborne.
>>728952409>"Plin Plin Plon"? anyone?Extremely overrated meme song even by DS1 standards.
>>728953518I'm literally not the anon you were arguing with but go off, get it all off your chest I'm sure your boogeyman is reading this
>>728953709>I'm literally not the anon you were arguing with Yeah no shit, he actually knew what he was talking about. Then you butt in with your retarded zoomer nonsense. Give an example of a game with a good soundtrack so I can mock you further.
>>728946089kino
>>728954048You are getting so upset about this right now. I loved Elden Ring and SOTE, but SOTE's boss themes just did not really stand out to me outside of Messmer's boss track. Radahnquella's theme is literally just Radahn's again even if the second half is nice but nothing in the dlc really hit me like Mohg, Godrick or Radagon's themes
>>728942330They have 2-4 memorable songs per game but the vast majority of it is super generic EPIC orchestra. Soundtrack is probably the single most overrated aspect of Soulsborne games.
