kamehamicBeen playing Elden Ring (purchased it in the last Steam summer sale). One of the most annoying parts of the game hasn't been the difficulty or the obnoxious questlines, it has been the music, now there is music or an atmospheric track everywhere (Souls games used to have only a few tracks for specific areas/situations like bosses, most of the game had no background music) and I'm not liking a lot of the tracks, like I'm turning the music slider to 0 often, specifically the background tracks for a lot of the larger areas (Limgrave, Caelid, the mines, the tombs, Siofra...), they are garbage. I started writing this poast because I saw a news post about one of the composers from Fromsoft leaving. twitter.com/_Yuka_Kitamura_/status/1686310080512466944 Searched who is behind the tracks while writing this poast and she was behind some of the tracks I mentioned. Not that this will fix ER music but at least she won't be able to do more harm.
@Zealist@Aviz As repetitive as the "Abandoned Pit" track is at least isn't as monotone and eerie as the ER ones. The additional issue is that the player listens to the tracks while exploring/fighting in a very big area in ER, as in the player ends up listening to them a lot, which is probably not the case for SoTN (I played SoTN many years ago and I remember enjoying most of the music, some of the track made it into my BIG foobar2000 playlist).
@kamehamic@Aviz abandoned pit is also the track for like the deepest darkest literal pit in the game where it's sposed to be SPOOoooOooOoooky and lonely and oppressive, song does it great.
