>Dynamic soundtracks

Why do devs do this? It makes soundtracks even more forgettable than they already are.

Not necessarily. Metal Gear Rising's soundtrack for instance was used appropriately, and the dynamicness where the lyrics kick in when you're kicking ass and nearing the end of a fight just make things more hype.
I also think the game Them's Fightin' Herds is making good use of dynamic soundtrack.

Nier is fucking awesome. I love that listening to the OST is great but playing through the game is a different way to listen to the music as well.

Black/White dynamic soundtrack was fantastic.

Rome: Total War had a great dynamic soundtrack.
>>
>>338344348
It can be done well. Skies of Arcadia's boss themes changed with the momentum of the battle and it was great. Still, too many are crap.

>>338344348
Bullshit, it enhances any good OST when used right.

i personally dont like it for slow methodical strategy/simulation games. I like a large regular soundtrack. If it doesnt have that ill mute it and listen to my music library.
>>
>>338344348
If done well, they can really be a good addition. Both Mario Galaxies do it during certain moments.

The halo games have dynamic soundtracks and they are fantastic and plenty memorable.

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze does this well imo

Really does add to the atmosphere to a lot of the levels, especially when you go from land to water.

I don't know man, I still have the wind waker miniboss theme stuck in my head.

Dynamic soundtracks are only forgettable if they would've been forgettable with or without the dynamic aspect anyway.

Dark Souls 3 is a prime example.

>tasteless faggot who doesn't actually know shit about adaptive audio yet still has the right to an opinion

There is nothing to be gained from not including adaptive audio whatsoever and leaving it out would only create such an intensely dull fucking soundscape that the player would lose interest at an exponentially faster rate than normal you fucking idiot
The profit-seekers would lose money, and the enthusiasts would end up with a shittier product. Nobody benefits.

The only part of Nier's soundtrack that's "dynamic" is Devola's singing at the fountain. You can hardly call it a dynamic soundtrack.

I don't know if EVERY game needs adaptive audio.
The Mario games don't feel like they really need it, the closest I could see is "The song gets rowdier when the boss is in his angry mode."

Those changes aren't always a really obvious instrument change or added vocal track, mate.
Anything the composer/audio guys can do to keep the player from becoming weary of their sounds, they will do. It's a huge part of why some games will make you grow super tired of a song if you have to retry a part several times while others won't. These guys get paid to do X work, but they get HIRED because they go the extra mile and make something good.
