Is the soundtrack actually good?

Recent news has me curious, but nowhere near enough to buy the game. Or did it only win because it was done by a DEI hire?

But if it IS good, will it soon be available to buy separately from the game?

I meant on Steam.

And what is that even? A cd? Only thing they're good for is filling landfills.

Ngl it's not a good sign if they had so little faith in the soundtrack that it's not available here already.

You don't own the game and aren't contributing anything to the conversation otherwise, so I'm just going to block you for now.

Had some time to look through positive reviews and I can't find a single one that mentioned the music at all. Definitely not a good sign.

I'm forced to conclude that my original suspicion was correct: soundtrack only won because they liked the fact that it wasn't done by a white man.

What is DEI?

Don't have such low standards. If a person cares about quality and/or convenience in the slightest, they're not listening to anything on YouTube. Also, it was already removed from YouTube for obvious reasons.

Regardless... imagine if you will, ladies and gentlemen: an award winning soundtrack *so* good that no one mentions it in reviews, no one wants to buy it, and no one has tried to make money off it (in digital form).

Anyone who thinks "DEI" is a serious issue doesn't deserve to enjoy anything in life

Frostfeather Feb 4 @ 7:26am

You seem to think it's a political issue. I don't vote, and if I did, it certainly would not be for the right.

DEI is a concern because it doesn't work. It puts the wrong people in positions and there's a reason why even the most left leaning companies are moving away from it. Anyone who doesn't think it's a serious issue is too low on the totem pole to understand its effects.

It's possible the composer here actually *was* the best choice (though it wasn't their first choice by their own admission). But if that was the case, why is the last sentence in #8 true?

No it really is a amazing OST, that captures the feeling of the original games and expands on it with something new.
Also Winifred isn't some random DEI hire lmao, shes been in the video game industry since the early 2000's and worked on the original God of War's soundtrack.
