Wth is this music bro 💀

[HoopTheLoop]

What is this trend of putting modern music into games from 500 years ago. There's a ninja ambush scene and they be playing some rock&roll riffs (with no soul behind it ofc because it's corpo slop). This crap will take you right out of the experience.

Imagine if you fought the three witches in Witcher 3 and linkin park starts busting out of your speakers lmfaooo.

I mean linkin park would actually be dope but you get the point

[Obiwan]

I got this feeling from the 1st trailer video on the store page. It starts off with some gorgeous and authentic sounding music and then around just over half way transitions to ..... what you describe.

Legit Kill Bill moment in the forest, I lol'd.

[Enorats]

I have only two complaints thus far, after having reached the point where the hideout first becomes available several hours in.

The 30 fps cutscenes, and the music. The music is a crime against humanity. I don't know what they were even thinking, aside from "Afro Samurai".

Some of it is fine, like the main menu music and what plays most of the time.. but then you get random techno-whatever garbage that starts playing in fights or cutscenes and it's just like.. wtf? It completely ruins the experience.

[Mr_Fear1911]

I know, right?

I remember being equally upset when some upbeat action music played when being chased in Assassins Creed Brotherhood, god so unrealistic from renaissance italy.

If it's not SILENT like real life then it MUST be awful.

[Trilkin]

I would go WILD if I started killing dudes as Geralt with any given track from Hybrid Theory in the background. I don't even care. I hope this happens in TW4.

Also it's the AC sound. It's a franchise thing. You can't hate it in one game and accept it in others. I wish more of it was composed by Jesper Kyd, but oh well.

genuinely i love it. If people want a more serious tone they can go play GoT (and I suggest they do, it is a godly game. i could watch someone play it as a movie and still be enthralled). I personally love this more kill bill vibe they're going for with this game like someone else said. It still takes itself seriously when it needs to (at least so far it has imo, only a bit in) but these moments where they play japanese rock has me TURNED UP MAN hahaha

They definitely made mistakes with the music. I honestly can't believe this passed checks at Ubi****. Anyone who is objective could have told you this was awful to do.

anyone who is objective would have provided a subjective opinion? You realize you just said something contradictory right? It's okay if you don't like the music but Ubisoft made their choice, if you don't like it stick to GoT, it's a good thing we don't have a limit on how many companies can release samurai games lol

[CRXWNWRXITH]

yeah the rock music in the iga ambush was really weird

[BoxTopRobot]

the surf/rockabilly is very reminiscent of JP samurai movies form the 70's so I felt like a little kid again but I can see it being a shock if one did not grow up in Chiba City in the 70's hehe, now if they bust out some 80's city pop then I'm going to have some problems too.

Yep the music is definitely the worse thing so far. I know Japan has some weird rock music scene, but that fight with the big dude in the flashback where the rock music starts playing with electric guitars and stuff really took you out of the moment.
I've been wondering if they weren't able to make nice combat music using traditional Japanese instruments and sounds or why they went with this modern music. No other AC game has ever done this, at least they usually try and make it sound like the time period. Whoever was in charge of music should probably not be in charge on music going forward

I believe the word starts with s, ends with t and there's a hi in the middle somewhere

Did ChatGPT get it right?
"The word you're looking for is "shamilt", but that doesn't seem like a real word. A likely intended word is "shi.tpost", which refers to content that is deliberately low-effort, absurd, or nonsensical—often in an ironic or humorous way, like a parody or something that feels amateurish, much like a college project.

Does that fit what you're thinking of?"
