What caused the hype

You needed to have been there.

name 5 games with better soundtracks from the past decade

>>713598765
That's usually code for "it's not really good but the audience mass deluded themselves for some fleeting FOTM reason"

>>713598787

>>713598738 (OP)
Dunno, I like a few tracks, but Toby is very overrated.

>>713598738 (OP)
>undertale came out 9 years ago

>>713598787
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Super Mario Wonder
Hades
Stardew Valley
Pizza Tower

>>713598738 (OP)
No idea. It's decent, I guess, but I'd put it below Touhou games.
Anyway, listen to Nier Gestalt, Expedition 33 and Drakengard 1. I consider them vidya all-time greats.

People liked it because it felt familiar the first time they heard it, but they didn't know why that was the case

https://streamvi.com/watch/1800055523878752

>>713599048
So the accusations were right?
That faggot Toby just ripped off a bunch of retro osts, gutted them and took their skeletons?
insane, good thing I never played tumblertale or troonrune

>>713599048
>>713599148
yeah nobody has ever done this before.

Are these supposed to be bait? Other than the Kirby pinball one a lot are just “similar instrumentation” with totally different notes

>>713598787
Dark Souls

Flavor of the month then?

>>713599048
i am a music producer and i do not hear it
this is some massive schizophrenic hateboner for toby fox

>>713598738 (OP)
it really is overhyped, but the best songs are the more underrated ones
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWBtpBwzzdM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWjavxcGfqM
i think one of the factors is that toby was basically the first game developer ever who just said "oh my songs are copyright free for your shitty youtube essays" and that's how it started, being a solid ost that doesn't sound weird when used/listened to outside of the game
though it has been so overused that it does sound weird now

>>713600037
You must not be a good producer then because some of those are outright references

>>713599048
I wasn't convinced by the first example, but the others. Yeah, fuck. Toby is a damn thief.

>>713599048
>AHHHH HES A THIEF HES A THIEF HE USED THIE KINDA SIMILAR MELODY THIS ONE TIME AHHHH
Sure, anon. And that one obscure anime about gambling definitely "stole" music from Weezer.

>>713599048
lmao the one from kirbys block ball is a straight up copy, toby dickriders are insane if they think he didn't rip off the melody

>>713600037
Except he did rip off the melodies

>>713598738 (OP)
Children who had never heard of the concept of a leitmotif before.

>>713600752
i am aware there are basslines and melodies with 1:1 references, but most of these are grasping at straws
>>713601657

>>713598738 (OP)
>What caused the hype
faggots. the only people who hype this game are child molestors, trannies, furries, and other weirdos. Normal people look at this game and give it at best a 6/10 but are still off-put by it.

>>713599048
It starts reaching at the end of the video, but damn, a lot of these are obvious plagiarism.

>>713599047
E33's OST is good but it's too much Eurovision-core

>>713604708
>Eurovision-core
but there isn't a single Zionist trans Ukrainian singer in their OST

>>713604793
True

>>713599001
>Super Mario Wonder
There's not a single track in Mario Wonder that is better than the generic encounter theme from Undertale.

>>713606302
Ninji Jump Party is a better track and better music/gameplay integration than anything in any indie game not specifically focusing on music as a mechanic

Why is the BG3 lunatic latching on fucking undertale 10 years later?

>>713598738 (OP)

you were oversold

>>713599001
I have played all 5 and Pizza Tower is the only one that has even remotely memorable music.

>>713606581
You might have brain damage

>>713606643
Nuh-uh, don't think so.

>>713606417
Good job moving the goalpost.

Regardless, the game suddenly turning into Patapon doesn't make it anything impressive.
In fact, for a rhythm based level, it's an embarrassingly weak track.

>>713598830
It is code for you're all anti social autistic faggots who pretend.

>>713598787
Everhood 1 & 2

Undertale's OST is the music equivalent of pixelshit, i.e. indie pixel art with rixels and mixels everywhere, incoherent color schemes, lack of shading and texture and in general being a poor imitation of what came before that doesn't understand why the old thing was the way it was

>>713606841
kek

>>713606763
>Good job moving the goalpost.
I'm not, I'm saying it's a better track than anything in UT, and it also has cool and memorable gameplay integration on top

You have so many reasons to shit on undertale, using the soundtrack is the fucking most contrarian and retarded hill to die on.

Tony has yet to top Death by Glamour

>>713598738 (OP)
It does have one of the best soundtracks in all of video games tho

>>713607129
If it's the only game you ever played, sure

>>713598787
I like it but
https://youtu.be/-1lzm-xl_is?si=yFJiV59Z63goWnVl

>>713598738 (OP)
I mean it's "one of the best", but in the sense of, like, 90th percentile. There's a lot of stuff up there with it. It's not in the top 10, but it's probably in the top 50.

>>713607394
Yeah it's probably in the top 50 percentile, I'll give it that it clears that bar

>>713606926
>I'm saying it's a better track than anything in UT
This is the hill you're going to die on? Ninji Jump Party?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub6ystuYcv4&list=RDUb6ystuYcv4
This?

I've noticed zoomer standards for what constitutes good game music are completely schizophrenic, they value gimmick sounds above all else, mood, atmosphere, emotion, rhythm, fitting into the game etc are all irrelevant

If it doesn't sound like a meme soundboard, they don't care about it

jesus christ my ears, genuinely one of the worst vidya songs ive ever heard. this has to be a troll, no one can think this sounds good. i think that one speccy "song" known for causing nausea is on par with this, maybe it's slightly better even

>>713607710
this sounds like shit what the fuck?

If your favourite soundtrack doesn't appear as a collab in rhythm games, it's fucking worthless.Hell, even the Dohna Dohna OST did.

>>713608067
Quite the funny critique coming from someone defending Undertale's OST

>>713598787
Literally any mili song from limbus or ruina

>>713608143

anon, what do you think the O in OST stands for?

>>713608160
UT's OST is great but you've already outed yourself.

>>713608327
>UT's OST is great
Just because it was FOTM when you were 13 when it released doesn't somehow make it good anon

>>713608128
it makes sense, alex yard has some sort of mental disease that causes good music to sound bad and bad music to sound good, and to make original music sound unoriginal and unoriginal music to sound original. how else does someone whine about undertale being unoriginal, then go on to say some shitty mario song with generic egyptian motifs is god tier compared?

>>713608292
Some of the songs were made for the game though

>>713607710
Lmao. Why are tendies like this?

>>713608452
Inventing boogeymen, always a clear sign of a mentally sound person that's in touch in reality and correct in their assertions

>>713608394
>tendie talking about nostalgia

>>713608603
I generally don't like Nintendo games and never had a Nintendo console growing up, Wonder is too new a game to be nostalgic for, and I didn't even think it was very good overall, the OST was pretty nice though

HAHAHAHHAHAHA I KNEW IT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YidmA4DCjGc

>>713608394
but it was le good and popular :(

>>713608806
Wow, what a spoiler.

>>713608886
It is, and was.
Nothing wrong with that.

>get told it's one of the best OSTs in vidya

Another victory for Battler

where's the deltarune thread.

>>713598738 (OP)
Undertale is a game that is a victim of its own success.
What it is:
>Pretty fun little RPG with a good soundtrack, some decently written characters, some nice ideas, and is overall refreshing in the world of gaming, whether it is indie or AAA
What it is sold as:
>THE BEST GAME EVER CREATED BY MISUNDERSTOOD GENIUS TOBY FOX WHO SINGLE HANDEDLY SAVED THE INDIE GAME SCENE AND CREATED A MASTERPIECE RIVALING THAT OF THE GODS THEMSELVES. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. IT ALREADY CHANGED YOUR LIFE. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET.

that's not true let's be real

>>713609379
You haven't looked enough for 10 years.

>>713599048
Shouldn't have included the FF6 one. Looks really pathetic trying to claim plagiarism when the entire scene is blatantly meant to be a homage.

>>713600901
>one time

>>713609468
So is the Power Rangers track, and Your Best Friend, and Dating Start, but having so many of the tracks be homages and references is also damning in itself

>>713609449
We are being real. The past decade has been nothing but relentless optimization of monetization and repeating the same successful patterns over and and over because normalfags gorge upon them.

>>713609149
>THE BEST GAME EVER CREATED BY MISUNDERSTOOD GENIUS TOBY FOX WHO SINGLE HANDEDLY SAVED THE INDIE GAME SCENE AND CREATED A MASTERPIECE RIVALING THAT OF THE GODS THEMSELVES. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. IT ALREADY CHANGED YOUR LIFE. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET.

it's unbelievable how fucking hard they try to sell toby faux, like I read a post some days ago saying something like
>toby fox is a fucking genius, everything he touches is perfect, music, gameplay, story
not even kidding

>>713609659
there were tons of good games especially indies fuck are you on about anon?

>>713598787
Smart of you to add an arbitrary restriction so I can't post the Mario Galaxy soundtracks

>>713609468
look at that pixelSHIT

>>713606829
Trannyhood 2

>>713609632
Oh did it include the power rangers one as well? Yeah that's also retarded for the same reason. Dating Start I'm actually alright with (as in alright with being in the video) because there actually isn't an inherent reason why dating papyrus or the alley girls shop should be sounding like turnabout sisters (though on that note. it's not even the same tune).

Also now looking at the end I'm having a laugh at it trying to connect Boomerang with Field of Hopes and Dreams. Because it's managing to overlook a far more blatant similarity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywSnMoGhKKs

>>713609407
i dont know what to call it, but it absolutely is that generic explorer-ish egyptian music associated with cheesy explorer movie harems and arabic palaces. it has the flute, that cymbaly sound, just bastardized by nu-mario a capella obsession. also, that song takes place in a desert ninji harem lol. like just listen to 0:16, it's the most fucking stereotypical egyptian music possible

Funny to see a schizo shitting his pants after UT has been popular for over a decade. Sadly for him Deltarune will also be popular, while all he can do is seethe about it. Sad!

>>713609468
the visuals are a joke in comparison

>>713610409
>u mad

>Its 201X, Tobyfox writtes a shitpost song about male pregnancy for trolling purposes
>Its 202X, Tobyfox has his undertale music performed by a big orchestra

wow one guy doodling in a basement can't manage the visual fidelity of 50 professional game developers with a budget of millions making their sixth flagship title, such shame, such disgrace

sex with muffet

>>713610816
it's insane ow life works sometimes
one moment Balaatro guy was just making a game for fun the next he wins three awards and has a guy dress as one of his jesters

>>713610923
wasn't Temmie the artist?

>>713611002
Temmie made some designs and sprites, Toby did all the environments.

>>713611031
i thought she did all of the art

>>713599048
Don't let Alex see this...

>>713607263
anon... that game is OVER a decade old...

I wouldn't say it's the best OST, but it's pretty good for what it is. Most of it is just generic midi shit, there's 3 or 4 really good songs

>>713598738 (OP)
only zoomers are hyped for this garbage
so the answer to your question is zoomers

>>713610816
And even the shitpost song stuck around and was sneaked into fucking Pokemon.

>>713611002
>>713611092
She does art full time for Deltarune. A lot of art in Undertale was Toby doing shit himself with Temmie helping here and there.

Funny enough I was going to say that Toby couldn't afford to hire some to work full time back when he did Undertale. But the game did have a fairly successful kickstarter. Maybe by the time the kickstart was finished the game was too far along for Toby to go back and redo all the assets. The demo was already out there after all.

>>713611712
stupid goy, it's always zoomers with you people. You can't even make actual arguments anymore. You just scream zoomer like goyim robots

>>713611750
reminds me of when I read somewhere an animator snuck an among us in jjk
not sure it's one of the lead ones or some westerner they hired oversees

>>713598738 (OP)
I think it’s very good. A lot of the tunes still live rent free in my brain. Particularly most of the boss themes are catchy and memorable.

I do think a significant part of the praise comes from the fact that it was composed by the one guy and he does overuse the ‘hopes and dreams’ leitmotif way too much.

>>713598787
Armored core 6
Zenless Zone Zero (yes I think it's good fuck you)

That's because of the leitmotif abuse

>thinking UT's ost is just okay is bait
Zoomers are beyond salvation

>>713598738 (OP)
It has amazing SOUL.

>>713613213
Leitmotif abuse is mainly the reason Toby is able to make music in such large quantities, he's often able to just reuse a tune he's used before making things easier.

The boss themes are catchy mainly because he's really good.

>>713613213
Calling out good music for "leitmotif abuse" is like calling out a tasty cake for sugar abuse

>>713598738 (OP)
i liked UT a lot at the time but after 10 years of hype and fandom glazing of course it falls short, it wasn't built to live up to all that

>>713606841
>nooo you can't use compressed and uncompressed roland rompler samples on the same track
