How did this not win best soundtrack?

[Goji]

TO CUPHEAD? REALLY? I CAN'T LISTEN TO A CUPHEAD SONG ALL DAY LONG LIKE MEGALOVAINIA DAMMIT

[Aluminate]

The game was released a few years ago now, IIRC.

Cuphead being new, fresh in mind... the new fad...


EDIT:

Actually... it reminds me of that Mickey Mouse game for the Megadrive... would the retro art on the first level.

[Destructo]

That's the point I made in my group CUREATORS

Undertale has been robbed of that award in my opinion.

Because Cuphead is a good Soundtrack.
And it was made originally with instruments, no computers. Unlike this game.

Umm, wow, someone has no idea how game music is made...

All real game music is not originally done with unstruments.. it's actually written originally on paper... Minus head thought.

Cuphead is about its animation. Its music is as good as a 1920's cartoon which is not much.
The voting system is literally cattle hitting a button.

I agree 100%

Ik right?! Undertale is amazing! Especially the soundtrack! I have to say that either 'Your Best Nightmare' or 'Ghost Fight' are my favorites!

I don't have any issue with Cuphead taking better than expected. But Soundtrack? Yeah, it totally stole that award. And I called it to my firends outside of steam that this would happen, too.

Sure, CH has some catchy tunes. And fits in well with the aesthetic. But it really feels like a handout for the hype/recentness and the animation than anything to me.

Undertale, in my opinion, deserves the win for it's exceptional use of lietmotif. Not only simply relate tracks to other tracks way, but to subtly hint at relate character and event relationships and guide players emotions, sometimes in unexpected ways.

Lietmotif is a major factor in how the New Home scene hits players so hard, and also subtly weaves it's way into the players perception of other scenes (won't give examples, third link does that better than I can).

(And shame on OP for going with the predictable fanboy pick of Megalovania, one of the few tracks in the game, and probably the only one of the 'popular' tracks, that DOESN'T highlight the advantages of Undertale's music over most other games).

Here's a couple sources that explain it better than I could. Please note all three links spoil the your first playthru. And the third link spoils things generally not noticed until a few playthrus in.

(6:53 to end for the New Home part in particular, though the whole thing is worth watching if you got the time)

and

http://jasonyu.me/undertale-part-1/
http://jasonyu.me/undertale-part-2/
for a more throrough text basesd analysis of leitmotif throughout the whole game. Personally, I enjoyed part2 more than part1 for that read.

Because cuphead doesn't make my ears bleeding unlike undertale.
And actually had VARIATION that undertale lacks.


And your salt is delicious op.

[Rush Valentine]

Also you already had enough awards. Don't be selfish or throwing tantrum when you lost, ignoring that you got more award from others like gamefaqs or Ign.

Also, Undertale got NO awards this year. Get you facts straight.
