Video game music is trash, change my mind
Yes, this includes your favorite precious 5th gen JRPG by your favorite precious Nobuo Uematsu or whatever. It's all just MIDI bleep-blaap-bloop or generic elevator or cinematic Hollywood-larping music.

It's good ambient music for the most part. This piece from Bloodborne is actually quite good.

I guess the Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim soundtracks fall in the elevator music category. It lends well to all the environmental exploration of Elder Scrolls stuff. It's awesome. Jeremy Soule has soul. Too bad he got canceled. Whatever next game comes out without him will suck because it won't have him. Then you'll see what bad vidya music really is.

It's not Mahler's 9th but it's enjoyable and better than 99% of pop music.

What music you even want out of a game like that? It's not Tony Hawk Pro Skater. This is all that works.

Yeah the only good video game music is from non-OST’s

finally, somebody understands why the fucking music sounds like shit.

said it before here, anyone who does unironically listen to that garbage for aliens/non-humans is a sexual harasser or predator. even if i were ever to like this type of music, you will NOT change my opinion on the people who like it.
>>127506923
tony hawk and gta get a pass because they use songs that exist outside the music. albeit, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing if someone who doesn't listen to anything outside video games said "oh isn't that danny brown from the gta radio?"

It's way closer to pop than classical which is what makes it sound so robotic and dry

Katamari Damacy music
otherwise I mostly agree. it serves its purpose well as background noise for whatever game you're playing and isn't really meant to stand on its own.

No no you are retarded there is good composers within the medium, in many ways not only one and they make many genres. But miss out, not my problem.

I had the same mindset as you but this playlist managed to change my mind. If you can't appreciate something from this selection you have no soul.

Impossible because I can't transplant my memories of playing games after getting home from school, similar to how you can't make me like the music that comforted you after your dad finished molesting you

Lots of games have insanely good melodies that are better than anything most come up with in their whole lives. You’re right that it’s typically meant to be a background thing for a game but katamari is a great example of an exception. OP is a fag as usual

If you're actually open to having your mind changed, here you go. The fact they are from video games doesn't even matter. They're just good pieces of music.

When you are unable to appreciate an artform for the circumstances you find it in, it says a lot about your close mindedness. Just because a track is from a videogame you already discard it as music because its "made for a specific setting"? You can project your emotions and feelings on anything, be it a complex classical composition made to awaken emotions, or some background electronic beat to keep the rhythm of a bossfight. If you can't find a single vidya song you like, you prob just lack abstraction and creativity :)

I know a guy like this for real, he also hates Japanese music in general for "being wanky." He's also an annoying chef who constantly complains about how hard being a chef is but immediately went back to it after fucking up other high turn over careers. He's such a an elitist prick even though he's a giant piece of shit living in a red state dinky college town. His music knowledge isn't even that expansive! I fucking hate everyone so much man, all of you got some kind of weird fucking hangup ego fucked nonsense like this happening and you can't help but let it get all up into my shit and fuck it up.
