PaletteSwappedNinja posted:It's not all like that, a lot of the music is streamed audio that sounds like actual music, but interspersed between those tracks are terrible MIDI files that don't play correctly. The word was that the devs had originally intended to use a bunch of classic Sonic tunes but Sega made them pull them at the last minute, so some dude replaced them with fan MIDIs pulled off the internet. Ironic music, the best kind.

It sounds like 3 or 4 fairly decent music tracks trapped in a box together fighting with each other to see who gets out.

It recently came out that the guy credited with this song and many other songs was basically a massive fraud who faked being deaf and paid another dude to write all his poo poo. He was a big celebrity in Japan, it was a huge scandal.

When it "came out" that he had actually been deaf the whole time it made sense why the Director's Cut soundtrack was such a loving mess, because hey; he'd gone deaf! Then it turned out it went another layer deep and he FAKED being deaf AND paid someone ELSE to do it, who wasn't deaf, but it still loving sucked. What?

less laughter posted:Except it has an 81% average on GameRankings, indicating it got reviewed very well across the board. Yeah, and they very obviously "course-corrected" by trashing the poo poo out the 3DS game as if it was substantially worse when it's pretty much the same game. Most reviewers just parrot the zeitgeist, they can't be trusted to form their own opinions or to come to sound conclusions about things.

Yeah like look at the Final Fantasy XIII games. XIII is easily the worst of the three but it got pretty solid reviews because people were excited for a new Final Fantasy on next gen consoles. Lightning Returns is easily the best of the three but there was so much negativity with the XIII series at that point that it got like 60 on metacritic. Plus there's stuff like this: Reviewers are the worst + Yoshi's Island DS isn't very good. I'm just going to replay the original and pray that Wooly World will be the first good Yoshi game in like 20 years Help Im Alive fucked around with this message at 13:22 on May 4, 2015 |

I don't know if I'm a fool for saying so, but I do think Wooly World will turn out all right and not just for the aesthetic.

Yeah I know but I doubt it would get anywhere near that score even if there were more reviewers. People really enjoy acting as if FFXIII is the worst game ever made I dunno why I brought this up in the eShop thread, my bad

I buy a Dynasty Warriors(or licensed Warriors) game approximately once every 3-5 years, and proceed to have a grand old time with it. There's no way you could convince me to buy every Warriors game, but they definitely scratch a particular itch when the mood strikes me.
