Strike911 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 An awful soundtrack thread and Armored Core is still not mentioned. Sure, you can cite maybe 1 or 2 good tracks out each AC title's 20 some odd tracks, but the rest of the tracks are a mess of awful and bad sounding synths, strange often out-of-pitch arpeggios, and gratuitous over use of out of tune sound effects (oh, and don't me forget the unpleasant drum loops). And what's worse is that most of the tracks are all 4-second loops droning on and on and on. The tracks that are good are usually the ones that avoid being electronica. I mean, take almost any Gundam OST and play it along side an Armored Core title, except turn off AC's music. The experience is fifty times more amazing. Seriously, try it. When I learned this, it was a great moment of realization... almost like the time I realized the nutritional benefits of Lucky Charms and Cheerios were 99.99% identical (give or take some magnesium). Just wow. It made Armored Core's experience so much better to have decent, thematic music. Droning 4-second loops (hidden in a 5 minute techno song that makes you want to scratch your ear drums out) do not do the series justice. The only song of the all the AC games I can remember was a unpleasant track from either AC1 or AC2, and it sounded like an electric banjo being water boarded. In fact, I think it's one of the tolerable ones in the series. Anyway. EDIT: Yeah I really want to blow up mechas to this crap: My God... who thought this last one was a good idea? This, my friends, is a perfect example. A distinct random set of loops with no real musical vision or focus. It's all just unpleasant, sloppy sounding cuts and loops masquerading as "music." Why?! why?! This is what my nightmares sound like. This has touched a nerve. I'm going to sit on the couch and drink some lemonade and watch a TV show about kittens (STAT) before an artery in my neck explodes. *sigh* A travesty! Don't get me wrong, Armored Core is fun series that I've followed since I was a kid, but it's not without a few serious flaws, number 1 on that list is the music imo. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go listen to the G Gundam soundtrack on Youtube. Domon's theme is calling to cleanse the palate of my ears. Good day.

lazygecko Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Which, amazingly, no one's mentioned. Did that really just happen? Yes, yes it did. This must be the first ever use of gabber/speedcore in video game music. Truly historic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remix Challenge Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Yoshi's Island DS had some pretty terrible music.It was a terrible game, too. See, I liked Yoshi's Story's music quite a bit, but Yoshi's Island DS was definitely the first game I played where the music actually bothered me. Usually it's either epic and enriches the experience, or it's boring/lame and I tune it out...but THIS GAME...the same freaking repetitive, boring, crap remixed in every level! In xylophone! *rips ears off* I honestly think they could have done something amazing if they hadn't been so damn lazy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Briggs Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I agree that yoshi's island ds had terrible music, but I wholeheartedly disagree that it was a terrible game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMaster Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Sonic Unleashed. Some of the music was decent, but hearing the same battle theme 15+ times a level got really annoying. Really. Annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monobrow Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Oh how can you hate I used to play this song for my 1 year old niece and she'd waddle to it in her diapers :J Also I nominate one of my alltime favorite games, Xardion. It has some of the absolute I've heard in an SNES game...But then there's stuff like this... wtf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
