Why Dark/Demon Souls has no music?

For me, it is the only thing it lacks.

But they do.

They want you to listen and be immersed in the background sound. Distant screams, an invader's breathing as he looks for you, etc.

Demon's Souls has a great soundtrack, the fuck are you on about?
>>
>>285610795
Most japanese RPGs have epic, memorable songs.
Why Dark Souls is an exception?

>>285611001
What are you talking about, every boss has a theme

They want you to become immersed in the most cheaply produced and annoying sounds in existence. "Bonfire" noises that sound nothing like a fucking fire, annoying ass random high pitched majula music, some guy constantly hitting a sword with his hammer etc...

It's not really talked about much but the Souls games have some of the shittest sound design I've ever heard. The boss themes are mediocre save for Gwyn's theme, the rest of the music is bad, and the sounds themselves are annoying as fuck.

>>285610524
Yep, you baited me

Congrats.

>>285611079
And they are all generic.

You've been playing Dark Souls 2 for too long.
>>
They really want to hit you with a feeling of loneliness.

Which feels lonelier: an "epic, memorable song"

or

silence except for the sounds of you and any enemies.
>>
>>285610524
What little music it has is just random noise.
The rest is a symphony of low budget, public domain shit sound effects.
>>
I like souls but save for a few pieces, the music is non-existent and when it is there it's shit. Like so shit but nobody cares. And the sounds themselves are bad, as anon above pointed out. I can relate with the annoying ass bonfire constant sound.
>>
The amount of shit taste and hyperbole in this thread is incredible.
>>
Souls music is bad. The music which sounds good only sounds good in comparison to the rest of the 90% shit.
>>

Nice buzzwords there.

Like I said, random fucking noise.

Souls music made me literally claw out my eardrums in life-preserving rage, it is the worst shit in the world, worse than an untitled story.
Souls ambient audio was literally, literally recorded with a muffless microphone covered in oil and is the worst shit in the world, absolutely no one can stand it.

it sounds like a 6 year old discovered the "voice" option on a keyboard and came up with that tune pressing the key over and over

I think this one's underrated. Mostly because you only ever hear the first few seconds of it in-game.

Thank fuck they stepped their music game up because that's some hot shit right there.

The character creation theme was cool ambient noise though.

Wow this board really has gone to absolute shit.
I'll just leave the best track from the entire series here, maybe some of you assholes can be salvaged to have good taste.

so dramatic.

Fun fact to look out for on your next playtrough:
Male bosses has a male chorus, female a female one.
