[QUOTE="SilverChimera"][QUOTE="sigh-_-"][QUOTE="slvrraven9"] yeah if youre listening to music from a sega genesis.....nowadays musical scored in games rival scores from movies.

Lack substance? Orchestrated game music is more musical than most forms of music. What is your definition of 'musical'? It's generally more complex. Go listen to lonlonjp on youtube :P
I have over 5 GB video game music on my hard drive.:P

I have around that much too :P 3 full FF OSTs, MGS4 OST, Bayonetta OST, Metroid Prime and Echoes OSTs, The Witcher, and some more :P I should get the Halo OSTs as well. Those are neat. I have soundtracks from old and new games, even as far back as the NES era!

oooooo, i dont know how much i got on my hardrive. but the FFXIII soundtrack is 82 songs i think and the RDR one is 16 tracks, and i also have Passion from Kingdom Hearts. how much GB would that equal? I doubt it's equal to mine but around 2 GBs maybe.

If you have them on iTunes, you can check straight from there how much space the "Game Soundtrack" genre takes up :P damn, not even close to 5GB :(

Yea, the remixes are great. I don't mind the synth'd music in game, but listening to it on its own is not my thing :P

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"][QUOTE="sigh-_-"]Very rarely. Video game music in general tends to lack substance.sigh-_-
yeah if youre listening to music from a sega genesis.....nowadays musical scored in games rival scores from movies. Which also tend to lack substance. ochestrated music lacks substance? or is it maybe more your taste in music lacks substance? because VG music has something from every genre if you hadnt noticed. so is it more just because its from video games or is it simply because you dont like such and such particular song??

It's simply the case that when music is relegated to the background, you find fairly consistently that less effort and attention to detail goes into it - as would be expected when the music is not the main event.

yeah i know what you mean dude, i havent really found an entire score that i can really get into as well so i usually just wind up with a few tracks here and there or something like that. but that track you posted was pretty damn good. thats from the Total War series? ill definatly have to find more from there...slvrraven9
That's from Gothic 3, actually. RPG music tends to jive with my musical tastes more often than other game music.

It's simply the case that when music is relegated to the background, you find fairly consistently that less effort and attention to detail goes into it - as would be expected when the music is not the main event. thats not at all the case my good man. just because music is in the background doesnt mean theres and more or less emphasis put on it versus the actual game itself. in fact you could even go as far as to say that a good game doesnt exist without good music to stir emotion because thats what good entertainment does. so you can have good music without a good game but a good game without good music....is few and far inbetween. besides when you hire composers and youre given a budget of millions to put into the soundtrack i would say that a considerable amount of effort goes into making sure that the music does in fact fit with the games theme ya know...

I have the soundtracks to Halo, Mass Effect and Fallout 3. Even though Fallout 3's soundtrack is just old 30's and 40's music, i still like it though. :P
