Terrible Music design in bossfights

[Darth Revan]

The gameplay is nice but whoever is responsible for the music design in this game did a terrible job, like seriously? electric guitars/rock music in bossfights? this music completely kills the athmosphere

i mean this is the worst joice they could have possibly made

and it appears that if you turn music off in general the music in the bossfights still plays which is a bummer

what do you guys think about the music?

and does anyone happen to know if there is any possibility to turn this off?

thanks.

I'm sneaking through the grass. There is a breeze. The trees are swaying back and forth. A Japanese flute is playing in the background. It is serene. I feel as though I'm in 1500 Japan. And then I attack someone and am bombarded with loud frantic grunge rock, and it immediately jars me and pulls me out of the immersion.

Just remember it's all just simulation. Music is out of the box but give cool vibe to Yasuke he start beating the s*it out of bad guys.

i know that its just a simulation but the assassins creed series always had great music that complimented the setting and atmosphere until now.

The music in AC shadows, at least during boss fights or whenever the hip hop and rock with electric guitars comes up just kills the atmosphere instead of complimenting it

Yup. First AC game where i did not dig the music. At all.
Thats ok....mute music & spotify Total War Shogun soundtrack.

good idea actually, but does this also work for bossfights? i turned music off in the middle of a bossfight but the electric guitars just kept playing

[SciopticChimken]

To be fair the music is actually good, its just that none of it fits

[Escapist]

I enjoyed it BECAUSE it was anachronistic.

THe boss music is supposed to hark back to the campy samurai days on TV, and I like it.

It's a bad choice.

It'll cost them a Best Music and Score nomination at The Game Awards.

That's about it.

this is why i have the music on 25%.
normaly i play without any music, in this case because of the japanese music i use 25%

[TH3R4BB!T]

I play some random Japanese Zen music on the background, not really helping with boss fights, but at least I feel relaxed

Somebody has to make a mod that switches the lame music with the ones from Ghost of Tsushima.

[Wantoomany]

Im told this sound track slaps pretty hard.

I'm finding it distracting as ♥♥♥♥ right when I want to focus more... I hate these designers I can barely hear all the the usual sound cues it's so stupid.
