What is wrong with these people?

I was reading reviews on gamemusic.com, which is probably a mistake. What kind of people are writing these reviews?

Please, does anyone here think that Xenosaga 2's soundtrack is in any way shape or form better than the Xenosaga 1? When I got XS2, one of the first things I noticed was a completely NOT Mitsuda soundtrack. I was very angry. And the new music sucks. It's poppy and generic. Yet people on this stupid ass site are saying it's BETTER than the first? Please, that's an insult to Mitsuda on many levels.

These are the same people saying that Final Fantasy X-2's soundtrack was better than FFX! WTF?! While FFX's soundtrack wasn't phenomenal by any means, FFX-2's soundtrack shouldn't even have happened. There was like...maybe 2 good songs on there? Maybe.

Oh yeah, and the second Black Mages album? Better than the first? I scoff at their ignorance. The first Black Mages album was incredible. But the second one...after the long wait and anticipation, pissed me off. Nobuo Uematsu: Don't do shit like that again, please. If you can't put out a decent album again, don't put one out at all.

So what's going on? Is it all of these stupid kids who think that anything newer is better when the rest of the sane world knows that it's the exact opposite? I dunno...I'm sick and I'm just ranting. But it still pisses me off to know end.The last great soundtrack I've heard was that of MGS3 :p

Yes, people that review things are stupid. I don't trust 99.8% of reviews for anything. I trust WORD OF MOUTH from people that I know IN PERSON.

I went to high school with Word Ofmouth. He was Justin Case's cousin.

Better than the first: no
Shit: NO

It's a great album in and of itself.

I just have very little tolerance for vocals in game music. Unless they're done masterfully, it's cheesy to me.

Must profess my love for you. <img src=smilies/liefde.gif> You speak wise truth. Agreed, vocals in games sucks...only vocal sounds I want to hear are in fighting games and first person shooters...maybe sports games.

The only RPG I've ever played that I thought had well-done vocals was Kingdom Hearts, but that's only because Disney hired all the original voice actors.

Sega America took a great japan soundtrack with Sonic CD and replaced it with some singing chick music.

Oh, I don't know...RE4's vocals seem pretty decent so far, and I mostly liked the voices in Tales of Symphonia...mostly.

I have to agree (Though all those can get along with various "pain" grunts... good 'ole days <img src=smilies/laff.gif> )

The best vocals in a game has to go to Perfect Dark, everything was taken seriously, unlike most games with next-to-no quality in the voices.

Speaking of Perfect Dark, the best lines of random guard-speak:
"I never liked him anyway..." (When you shoot a guard without being seen and another guard investigates)
"Bloody stupid gun!" (When the guard's gun jams.)
"She shot me!" (Shoot a guard, simple enough, but a very funny line, like they weren't expecting it)
"I'm only doing my job!" (Get a guard to surrender)

There's a lot more, these are just my favorites.

I always was partial to "You bitch!" when you shoot them, and "My gun!?!" when they drop their weapon/it gets knocked out of their hands.

Simple and effective.
