Why can't the west produce good soundtracks? Only indie games get good amazing OST, AAA scores are forgettable at best.

Was actually going to make a thread about this but you beat me to the punch, OP. AAAshit has forgettable as fuck music, borderline nonexistent. I think it's the generic Hollywood movie music. There's no catchy melodies, personality or soul. Just a movie soundtrack.

I was talking about this when people were bitching about the "mumble rap" in the MK11 trailers. It's incredibly boring to hear the tired old "epic gamer" orchestral score or whatever for every major release. And I sure as fuck don't want to hear the awful dubstep that they think all gamers love to listen to. I get that it's hard to appeal to everyone with so many varying tastes, but I'd rather hear something original or just different that is more of an extension of the game's character. Not some forgettable bullshit that I'd mistake for being in one of the Avengers or Transformers movies.

Indie games try to create soundtrack based on their own preferences and so they have, dare I say, soul. AAA games try to have Hans Zimmer-esque OSTs because that's what the average pleb finds amazing.
Matthew Sanders
Indie games are the only good games the west makes now.

Marty O'Donnell's work for Halo CE to Reach and his work for Destiny is all excellent
STALKER's ambient guitar is great
most non-indie games, jap or western have shit soundtracks, that's just the way it be
