You need to look at older western games for good music like Morrowind. Western music these days just isn't fucking memorable at all and can't hold a candle to NieR OST or even Bayonetta OST.
Dominic Clark
Japs can only make silly upbeat platforming music though. Their orchestral music always sounds generic and forgettable, and their metal and techno are cheesier than Gouda.

I think the more likely case is that you don't really know much about vidya. Stop posting on Sup Forums and get to work.
Charles Butler
They can, it's just most devs nowadays opt for generic "epic" Hollywood garbage
Luke Richardson
jap composers aim for F U N
western composers aim for hollywood-tier cinematic scores and ambiance

Because all Western shit is based on profit. No one cares for videogames. No one makes games because they love them, they just do it because its their job. They just pay someone to make the music and that someone doesnt also give 2 fuck about the game that his music will be in.
But in Japan there are passsionate lads that love what they do.

Because Sup Forums

Isn't that simple?

Pick any Red Dead Redemption track, any.

Jeremy Soule is pretty based.
Elijah Flores
I like Red Alert
But yeah Japs devs in general pay more attention to music. Square and Falcom probably pay more to musician than writer.
Elijah Sanders
People may give Skyrim shit but I love the OST. The Main Theme is fantastic.
Logan Howard
pic related series has great soundtrack, if you don't with me you're faggot.
Christopher Miller
how can the west even compete
Jackson Campbell
Fuck the doom ost is fucking gorgeous.

Why's it gotta be a competition, can't we just enjoy both jap and western music as long as it's good.

First three minutes were good, but than it's one winged angle typical stuff.
Landon Lewis
Deux Ex has great music
Michael Nguyen
Best NieR song: youtube.com
Sebastian Bailey
Sonic is japanese,Also Sonic 2 have better music
Jeremiah Fisher
Xavier Foster
You're on a website made for weeaboos, of course they're gonna post nipponese music
Luis Nelson
Western music isn't memorable. It all sounds the same and just fades into the background like some ambient music
Jace Allen
youtube.com
And guess what? There's a western ARPG with shit gameplay, but good story and music. Just like your NieR.
Christian Lee
He's talking about how Howard Drossing composed for S3&K besides Jun and company. Also there are Western made OSTs in the series with the Saturn version of 3D Blast and Sonic R by Richard Jaques who also did some Jet Set Music.
On that note, Mania is going to have some sweet tunes from Tee Lopes.
Blake Martinez
Don't forget Plague of Shadows too, I love the clusterfuck music that is the Shovel Knight boss music, suited the battle brilliantly
youtube.com
Gabriel Turner
Adrian Powell
western games are shit
but there's some good stuff
youtube.com
Isaac Howard
Because most western vidya soundtracks belong to the background of a movie, not a videogame
Blake Lewis
Because nips pay their composers more, and nip vidya composers know they're composing for games. Most western vidya composers have sob stories about how they wanted to compose in the movie industry and got thrown out.
Tyler Adams
This,why u all can't just listen and appreciate both?
Julian Watson

I feel like Bastion was stronger, but you're right, Darren Korb should be in this thread. OP is retarded.

this OST is pretty much the perfect hybrid mix of American country/western and Indian music
Wyatt Young
>who is grant kirkhope
Brandon Richardson
Spyro actually doesn't have any good music at all.
It just has very a recognizable style of music.
It's extremely generic and plain.
Michael Walker
A guy who makes BOING-BOING ZoowooOOp BOING-sounding generic stuff.
