FROM: Its just a video game, please make a boring soundtrack that sucks assComposer: okay
I really miss when video game music sounded like video game music
>>732314971i cannot remember a SINGLE(1) song from the elden ring ost. (i can still replay songs from dark souls and demon souls years later in my head with crystal clear clarity)
>random AI “composer” melodyslopHEE HEE HAW HAW HOOO HEEE HOO>jingle bells>song is so bad you can’t tell if its ambience or another epic Beethoven or Bach imitation >every song is like this
No such thing as a good videogame song. No need to pretend
>>732314971Without looking, from memory only, list some good Elden Rings songs>the Ancestral Beast fight>Radagon>Elden BeastThose are the only ones that come to mind
>>732314971This is probably the best game ever made.
Demons' Souls is the only modern FS game with good music.
>>732315120I like the main menu theme, it's very militaristic with its drums.
>>732314971Only the DLC and Nightreign music are good. Not sure what happened with the base game.
>>732315189Radagon is the only song I can remember, and that's probably because it's the main menu theme.
>>732315189Mohg is really good.
https://youtu.be/e7BcunJyBAM?si=-Gc6f5TERRR93T6zArmored Core Nexus and Bloodborne have their best soundtracks and its not even close.(Maybe AC4 gets there....)
>>732315120complete opposite for me, the ambient tracks are nice where dark souls music is just *noise*it's weird since sakuraba is a good composer otherwise, outside of when he's a guest composer doing an arrangement where it's all chantslop
All the DLC boss tracks are better than base game, but nightreigns entire ost is better than elden ring's across the boardhttps://youtu.be/4ppi_smAi78?si=A7TIrd5KsieCArNh
>kinoBloodborneDemons Souls>goodDark SoulsNightreign>slopDark Souls 2 Dark Souls 3Elden Ring>There's music?Sekiro
>>732314971Bloodborne is the only good one and that's because they shelled out big money for a proper recording venue, had a mix of composersnand pieces to choose from, and they were given a cohesive theme to follow instead of some slant-eye just winging it.
>>7323153513rd gen Armored Core proved FROM can do excellent and memorable music. 6th gen Armored Core proved FROM can do a story that is both engaging and cohesive with memorable characters. Sekiro proved FROM can do melee combat that is actually fun.They just choose not to do any of these things for most of their games.
>>732315351I'm going to stand on the floorBy the way, I found a flower a little way awayOh, way away
>>732315450>skip slightly ahead>immediately met with choirno thanks bro>>732315498DeS is still my favourite OST out of the series. I still listen to individual tracks every now and then. i was surprised to find ds2 had a few good tracks in it, but you wouldn't know by playing it since the mixing is completely fucked. can't hear a single thing in game
Ngl their tracks are there to mute the game and play a podcast over it. It's why they're notorious for being podcast games.
>look through their history>find terrible to mediocre garbage OSTs>not a single good trackHow are they still in business?
>>732315163I think you meant "carol of the bells" but yeah
>>732314971These games don't have music and you can't convince me otherwise. They have one song with one lyric which is "HAW HEE"
>>732314971I mean coming from the same retards who greenlit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGJbuHUbw8k&list=RDWGJbuHUbw8k&start_radio=1 I'm not surprised.

>>732315120>i cannot remember a SINGLE(1) song from the elden ring ost. Sounds like a memory issue. I can remember them all (except for the area ones)
>>732316328I was going to post this as an example of a non-HEE HAW HOO HEE track, but it actually is one lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2HB4Jsgkkc
>>732316818any cute mechs in Armoured Core 6?
I shit on Souls quite a bit but the soundtrack has to be one of the most overhated aspects of these games. Its mostly solid ambience that sets the tone for each area well, just because you wouldnt listen to it outside the game doesnt mean its bad.
>>732317293I thought souls games didn't have music outside of boss fights.
>>732317475Only for set pieces, like Firelink Shrine, Majula, Firelink Shrine, and rare spots for NPCs.
>>732317293The ambient tracks for safe zones are great. The boss tracks? Every boss from DS3 + ER might as well have the same soundtrack
>>732317293>just because you wouldnt listen to it outside the game doesnt mean its bad.this is true but it also means that it could be better
>>732315060This, it's always the same orchestral crap that tries way too hard to sound epic.
>>732317934>this is true but it also means that it could be betterNah its good that some tracks like Limgrave's theme is minimal and just kind of fades into the background. OST thats overbearing can get annoying If you have to listen to it a lot.
I cannot remember a single Souls song except Sif's theme.
https://youtu.be/QSEt7ENKqdg?si=uVlxrPBJ5M5KGDEcmy favorite orchestra-esque fromsoft track. I think the only one that comes close might be smough/ornstein
>>732315498Sekiro is a fine videogame ost, id put it at least on the level of das1. Not substantial enough to stand on its own but the senpou temple battle music goes very hard.
King's Field 2:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I34io5wf5kkOrchestral has become the default for fantasy but there are other kinds of music you can use. Diablo is another example.
