donkey kong country 2 soundtrack is amazing
Video game music is almost always over produced garbage with meme tier lyrics. A perfect example is that ''Nuclear'' song...
Some can be decent (like the L.A Noire Soundtrack you posted)
Prove me wrong.
>>65948878
It is though because it's meant to marry with a picture and can't stand on its own.
>>65949237
This is pretty terrible without the actual game.
>>65949931
Nuclear wasn't made for MGS5.
>Prove me wrong.
Why don't you prove that video game music is "almost always over produced garbage with meme tier lyrics"? You could start by explaining what that even means.
>>65949975
I haven't even played several of those. There's no need to play a game to appreciate its music, and we're not talking about something like cartoon music that only works in context.
Only vidya soundtrack that's worth listening to on its own is pic related
>>65950023
Yes anon, out of the thousands of video game soundtracks made this is surely the one and only that could possibly be listened to on its own.
>>65948878
Tatsuhiko Asano is my favorite artist of all time and he did the Doshin the Giant OST, an obscure N64 DD that never made it to the states. Beautiful ambient teacka that have a great tropical feel.
In its own its a 10/10 album, it makes me want to play the game one day if I ever get a DD and a copy of the game, I hear the GC port was butchered slightly content wise but I'm not sure how confirmed that is.

Well why not? It's not from video games and it's popular and socially accepted so it must be art.
>Why are you even here?
Why are you?
>>65950971
/v/ has mediocre taste in vidya for sure but /mu/ just downright doesn't know shit about videogames.

Videogame studios know that "gamers" are typically ignorant of music and art, so will create and commission things that reflect that, to not rile or upset their audience. Hence videogame soundtracks are at best inoffensive or boring, and at worst totally cringeworthy, cheesy, or outright laughable.
>>65950979
>The fuck does it matter what genre of game the music is from?
What exactly is so special about the XBC track you posted?
It's just a generic piano ballad.
>>65951010

>>65951010
This is a blatant generalization and only close to true if you look at the top-40-tier garbage known as the AAA industry.
Just like I said before, /mu/ legit knows nothing about videogames.
>>65950985
>/mu/ literally likes the equivalent of top-40 shit in terms of vidya.
Ironically, the only one posting top 40 vidya equivalents is OP.
>>65951042
OP here; I haven't posted a single track in this entire thread
>>65951042
That's not really ironic at all, people who have passion for one artistic medium will probably only dabble in the pop culture of the rest, because their own artistic medium is so complex that they don't feel it's necessary to learn another.
It's not ironic, not even coincidental, it lines up perfectly with logic/reason.
>liking computer games
>>65950979
Basically it confirms you as ignorant of music. Either pop is your only reference point or you're deliberately cherrypicking bad music to support your poor argument that video game soundtracks are actually worth a shit. Both of those situations confirm that.
What do you even listen to? Or are you "that guy" who listens to nothing but anime and videogame soundtracks and gets hostile when his poor taste is called out? Is that was this thread is about?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju1wxMDhjMM
Saw these guys live once, it was great.
There are actually some differences between videogame music and "other" music, such as the need of vidya music to loop in lots of cases and/or react to different situations in the game on the fly and so on. There's really no other medium where the musician would have to think about this kind of things. Of course it doesn't always happen, but in theory.
>>65951067
Not OP but the following are what I believe to be top-tier vidya music.

Though these songs, of course, were made to compliment game, story, and art direction, so it's no doubt they probably aren't as powerful to you as they are to someone who's played the games.
Even so, I believe NieR's ost is one of the most timeless soundtracks of all time.
>>65951010
You either have no idea what you're talking about or you're just outright lying. It's especially ridiculous when talking about Japan where the game industry has close ties with the music industry (as does the anime industry) and they're very focused on selling music and even make games that revolve around music.
>>65951011
You're moving the goalposts and I never said anything is "special." And generic is not a valid term.
>>65951067
No, you are ignorant of music. You don't even like music. Case in point:
>Are are you "that guy" who listens to nothing but anime and videogame soundtracks and gets hostile when his poor taste is called out
Someone who likes music wouldn't dismiss music on the basis that it was made for a video game or anime.
Only video games worth anyone's time:
>Soulsborne series
>Deus Ex
>Metal Gear series
>Half Life series
>Morrowind
>Fallout 1, 2 and NV
And sadly, these are all good toys at best. I've yet to play a videogame that can actually move me. Feel free to add to this list and somehow enlighten me because as far as I'm concerned videogames are shit tier art and good-tier entertainment to hang out with friends.

>>65951220
Yes they are.
>>65951220
What is art then?
>>65951220
Those are literally the most entry-level games you can play to get into them as a deeper, more complex artistic medium.
It's the /mu/-core of videogames. Drakengard is literally the Trout Mask Replica of videogames. Get off your pretentious high-horse.
>>65951182
Why are you so afraid to post your top 10 albums?
If you don't actually have half-interesting taste, then I see no reason to have a proper discussion with you about how videogame music is worthwhile if you clearly don't give a fuck about the wider scope of music and instead just want to justify your lazy music taste.
>>65951115
>Someone who likes music wouldn't dismiss music on the basis that it was made for a video game or anime.
Yes they would because it's literally music that's meant to marry with pictures or react to game scenarios, because of this it can't take the form of traditional music that is able to stand on its own and it's something to exist in the background.
>>65951220

Which doesn't actually matter and isn't even always true, so I don't know why you're bringing it up.

Game and anime music can and do stand on their own.
>>65951230

>>65951247
that's a fallacy. videogames - the medium - isn't artistic, therefore every single instance of a videogame isn't artistic. i don't need to taste every single turd in the world to know that turds are not edible
>Fall Out Boy? Sorry, Madame, but I only listen to the most exquisite musique sourced from the videogames on which I have built my livelihood. I suggest you delve posthaste into the untold treasures of the great nation of Japan, including Final Fantasy and Xenoblade, before speaking to me again.
>>65950940
Holy FUCK you stupid weeb. Family Guy is in no way, shape, or form an accurate representation of the works of our greatest artists, and trust me, there are many. I'll give you the video game music can be as good as music where the primary focus is on the music itself, but a good lot of all video game music is only as great as you say in the context of the game. You're definitely right that there is fantastic video game music though, Xenoblade Chronicles being a great example of such that you should look into if you haven't yet.

I get you guys are counter-baiting OP but this is genuinely why /mu/ should stick to talking about music and nothing else. You people don't know anything about literature, film, art, let alone videogames.
>>65951297
Undertale, while having a message that completely contradicts itself, still has a unique/creative execution of the "interactive" portion of vidya and uses it to actually convey a message. It's there because it, like the rest, is entry level.
SotC isn't there because that's just a given, everyone knows what it is, even stuck-up pretentious losers like most of the posters in this thread.
>>65951151
I don't think that art or entertainment needs to move me to be enjoyable, for instance I enjoy SHMUPs really much because just playing them is tons of fun. And well, the feeling of doing something well and the thrill of the possibility of losing it all are feelings too. And I don't really look for being moved or some intellectual point in visual art either and I love visual art. The emotional effect is just one small thing art can do to you and I think that there's much more in art you can experience.
But yeah obviously if you go and play games hoping for the things you find in classic literature or such, you're not going to find it... play the games for what they are. I think that there are interesting thing video games can do with storytelling and atmosphere, especially in games where there's no predetermined story like Crusader Kings or Dwarf Fortress, but so far there hasn't been a 10/10 "art game" which would actually utilize these. The very video gamey games which I mentioned are too unstylish, unemotional and "ordinary" to appeal to the art crowd.
Of course it can be said that the video game crowds don't need or necessarily even want the art crowds' acceptance. The art world itself is incredible divided between different schools and theories and doesn't even know itself what is art or not and what is good art and what is not... maybe making (and watching/playing) good entertainment is just more appealing to lots of people.
And desu this board generally considers very simple pop songs deep and complex art as long as the packaging is stylish enough. This has got very little to do with video games, of course, but everyone here is quick to claim that some things are not art and thus shit but also usually say that they enjoy simple songs for fun pretty often even though they know that these songs have little actual content or originality. /mu/ is mostly about simple pop culture. I'm not saying that you're necessarily doing this but lots of people are
>>65951287
>the medium isnt artistic because i said so
The basis of art is to create, videogames are creations, therefore they can be considered art.
Lol i love VIDYA!!! lets play VIDYA!!!! maybe a girl gamer will show me her VAGOO!
>>65951303
sure, /v/eddit
>>65951333
>/mu/'s argument for why vidya isn't art has devolved into talking about their primal desires for vagina.
This is why nobody takes music enthusiasts seriously.
>>65951303
I've played lots of games and the only two that could be considered art are Silent Hill 2 and MGS2.
Everything else is pretentious dogshit with no meaningful message(Bioshock, Spec Ops) or minimalistic nonsense that idiots pretend is deep(Team Ico games and Journey).
>>65951329
>The basis of art is to create
reductionistic view, wrong definition. i recommend you drop your little games for a few hours and google "what is art", maybe check a few dozen links
>>65951297
Isn't the point of a soundtrack just to work in their original context though? Even though OSTs are often sold on separate albums it's not really the way it's "meant" to be experienced. I think that soundtracks should be mostly judged by how well they work in the film/game. For example I think that Hotline Miami's OST is great as an OST and supports the mood of the game fantastically but the songs themselves are pretty mediocre and I never really bother to listen to them outside of the game. But in the game the music sounds good.
>>65951347
>Bioshock is pretentious dogshit with no meaningful message.
opinion discarded
>>65951329
>The basis of art is to create, videogames are creations, therefore they can be considered art.

>>65951297
I'm not a weeb.
>Family Guy is in no way, shape, or form an accurate representation of the works of our greatest artists
It's very representative of the modern West's approach to art.
>>65951347
The idea that art is about the "message" and nothing more was probably introduced by so-called modern art, i.e. pissing in jars and randomly throwing paint on the canvas and then coming up with some 2deep4u explanation for it. Another reason why things are going down the shitter in the West.
>>65951361
>I think that soundtracks should be mostly judged by how well they work in the film/game.
That's exactly how you produce mediocre soundtracks.
>>65951343
what's the big deal with spending a few thousand hours deep in 3D gamespace? If your time is worth nothing, then I guess who gives a fuck what you do with your time. We all know that games are art. They're like cinema, but better because you can mash buttons and unlock achievements. So let's just say I spend a lot of time appreciating art!
>>65951363
The first game is literally:
>Reads Atlas Shrugged once
While Infinite?
The last 10 minutes of that game was probably the most pretentious thing I've ever witnessed in any media, not just vidya.
sober mr. lahey is cute
>>65951347
>SotC is minimalistic nonsense
It's the greatest love story told through videogames. It's minimalistic, sure, but it's far from nonsense and in execution it's extremely powerful. The use of game/sound/art direction to convey the lengths the protagonist has to go through, climbing the titanic colossi, etc. was really well done.

Nobody brought up Infinite, everyone agrees Infinite is complete garbage except for reddit.
That was a gross oversimplification of Bioshock, though. Even if that were half-true, it's still a unique execution with fantastic sound, art, and game design/direction.

I fail to see how asking you to name your favourite music is off-topic on the music board.
You can't seriously think a discussion about video game music's validity is going to be fruitful when your trying to ignore every other kind of music in this thread. How are you going to argue it is worthwhile without an external reference point?
Post your top 10 albums or delete this shit thread. Literally anyone with taste worth a damn isn't going to argue that video game music is just as valid. If your own music taste is shit, then you simply can't argue that video game music is good when you have nothing to compare it to, and haven't even tried to research and explore other music. I think you know this and are deliberately trying to save face. Prove me wrong.
Art is anything made by humans that is not essential to survival/reproduction. So yes, videog is art ;^)

If 100 people walk by and a single person is captivated by whatever that piece radiates, then it's art. But videogames aren't trying to capture one person. A videogame should make sure that all 100 people that play the game should enjoy the service provided by that videogame. It's something of service. It's not art.

Credentials are necessary because so far your references for music not in a video game have been, quote, Fall Out Boy and Wiz Khalifa.
Ergo this discussion isn't worth having if your experience of music doesn't extend beyond that. I'm not going to sit here and listen you talk about how the Xenoblade soundtrack is just as good as other music when you're putting it next to Fall Out Boy and nothing else in order to argue its validity.

Holy shit are you autistic?
How can you claim that derivative cliche video game music is good. Then claim that the west has nothing against Japan's art industry becuase the west is able to facilitate innovation in the arts. Modern art is a way of progressing beyond the over done artistic cliches of the past.

Again, your reply was nothing but "lol". And you've made a convenient strawman there, too, next to your bulletproof logical wall that any deeper question regarding the foundation of your stance is "changing the subject".
If you're just baiting, then that's fine, carry on. If you want to carry on talking about video game music, then I'm all ears once you can justify your position as one that isn't biased towards video game music on the basis that everything else is Fall Out Boy.
>>65951719

It's an appeal to authority because his opinion is supposed to be fact just because he's considered an authority in the field of video games.

Same reason why movies or music are not automatically art. Thing is that those mediums have more variations in comparison to games that is just a multi-billion dollar circle jerk machine putting out hollywood top 40-tier focus tested toys to appeal to the wide youth demographic and earn as much money as possible.
Majora's Mask has a GOAT soundtrack. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Video Game music is this amazing, underappreciated medium though. The ratio of games with legitimately fantastic soundtracks to games with painfully mediocre soundtracks is pretty weak desu. Even the best game soundtracks don't really rank all that high in terms of actual music.

The Touhou series has been made by one guy since the 90s. He designs and programs the games, writes the stories, draws the art and composes the music. And of course there's a shit-ton of other independently produced games.

I've said before why it wasn't "changing the subject", and why that was a fallacy in itself. Twice, actually. Both times you replied with 'lol'.
I think you have autism. As if that needed clarification, anyway, when you clearly listen to nothing but video game music. Which is the position you're posturing, by the way, because you still refuse to prove that you listen to anything else.
Come to think of it, that's probably why nobody is engaging with your points in any meaningful way, because if that is the case - and you're as stubborn as you seem - then nobody is going to even try to convince you that video game music isn't the artistic bastion you that you think, because their time will be wasted since they'd just be pissing in the wind.
>>65952027

>>65951905
Innovation is extremely important to the creative process. Breaking the rules of what came before is fundemental to the advancement of art. Without innovation art is reduced to the well trodden path of mediocrity. As time and culture changes it is essential to find new ways to express ourselves artistically becuase the old ways do not capture the full meaning of our life anymore. All artists that are considered great are innovators.

Westerners have come to fetishize innovation to a completely unhealthy degree. Innovation itself, for its own sake, is the point. Quality doesn't matter.

That's a strawman. I never said that quality doesn't matter. All good modern artists can create a good classical painting.
As far as I can tell the person who is advocating for video game music to be taken seriously as an art form is arguing against innovation in art. You seem to be calling for a return to classical music and art. Which contradicts your orginal point.
You know guys, there is such thing as bad art. Even those shitty Disney Channel sitcoms are art.

You actually know nothing. A modern artist isn't just a person who picks up a paint can and throws it on the canvas then declares it art. For example in music all good art composers know and understand music theory which they then break. You also still haven't adressed how humanity should find a way to express themselves artistically in a changing cultural society without innovation.

I do and that's why I said what I did. A classical painting takes skill, it's not something that just any artist/"artist" can do. Painting and drawing skills have also gone into a decline in the West.

This is a clear argument against innovation by someone who doesn't understand it. You have an outdated view of quality and therefore can never be truly for innovation.

Classical painting was literally only theory and rules. Since it replicated reality there were definite rights and wrongs, so it's something anyone can learn if they just read up on it.
Also a lot of old artists just used camera obscura and traced shit to get it factually correct.

Painting literally requires you to actually paint for many years and not just read theory and then start shitting out masterpieces.
Have you ever noticed that Westerners are very rarely able to accurately imitate manga/anime style character drawing? It's much more simple to do than a classical painting and there's no shortage of guides and tutorials and examples out there. Yet they can't do it, try as they might.

I have not proven any of those things and neither has anyone else. And people who keep aggressively trying to change the subject shouldn't accuse others of not being open to discussing things.
>>65952170
explain what exactly Touhou has done for art. how has Touhou pushed boundaries, challenged beliefs, and ushered in new.
go on im waiting

>What are you talking about?
The painting I posted was done by Picasso in a neoclassical style why does that prove your point?
>ave you ever noticed that Westerners are very rarely able to accurately imitate manga/anime style character drawing? It's much more simple to do than a classical painting and there's no shortage of guides and tutorials and examples out there. Yet they can't do it, try as they might. (Citation needed)
Are you saying that manga is a higher form of art than modern art?
>>65952688
If you can't appreciate the depth of that painting you have no word on art
Otherwise b8, and I won't bite again
>>65952688
Prove it wasn't
>>65952729
I just did:
>It's a one man project. He does everything himself. He's good at all the areas I mentioned. He has also inspired countless other people to make art, music, games and animation, and they have in turn inspired others.
Touhou fans have been doing this:

While Western "modern artists" are literally pissing themselves and making "artworks" that are indistinguishable from trash.
>>65952764
Prove it was.
>>65952762
>depth
I.e. bullshit.
>>65952754
>The painting I posted was done by Picasso in a neoclassical style why does that prove your point?
Picasso made modern art and the painting you posted is not equivalent to what I'm talking about.
>Are you saying that manga is a higher form of art than modern art?
Of course it is, but that's not the point.
>>65952705
>who keep aggressively trying to change the subject
He said, while encouraging a lengthy chain of posts on visual art, and the ramifications of dada and post-modernism. I asked you to talk about non-video game music. You know, on the music board, and in a thread of which the entire topic is about video game music compared to non-video game music.
>a.) An autistic weeaboo
You said in full sincerity that Touhou is more important than a hundred years of developments in modern art.
>b.) Ignorant
You consistently refused and failed to prove even an entry-level knowledge of modern music.
>c.) Helplessly stubborn
Your entire rhetoric this thread has been, "No u," circular reasoning and an enormous failure to back up your own points without first reactionarily go, "no YOU explain."
You're a fucking autist. Go back to /a/, /v/ and /jp/.

Why?
>>65952783
>>Are you saying that manga is a higher form of art than modern art?
>Of course it is
>>65952801
I have not changed the subject
>I asked you to talk about non-video game music.
You tried to change the subject.
>You said in full sincerity that Touhou is more important than a hundred years of developments in modern art.
I said it has contributed more to art, and it has. That's just how things are and saying so doesn't make me a weeaboo.
>You consistently refused and failed to prove even an entry-level knowledge of modern music.
No, you are just trying to change the subject.
>Your entire rhetoric this thread has been, "No u,"
You keep trying to change the subject so I keep telling you that you keep trying to change the subject.
>circular reasoning
What circular reasoning?
>enormous failure to back up your own points
What failure?
>You're a fucking autist.
Projection.
>Go back to /a/, /v/ and /jp/.
I'm not from any of those boards.
>>65952811
Because it isn't.
>>65952822
Yes, what's what I said. What about it?
>yfw op made his post and left
>>65952783
>implicit meaning and raising questions about how art functions is "bullshit"
an autistic trait is failure to pick up on emotional or meaningful subtext; it really does figure that you prefer the 'ooh pretty, colourful shapes and cute girls' of touhou and manga to art that actually has a purpose beyond the traditional, conformed aesthetics of pretty pictures.
