I am not bashing anyone who doing music, I simply just voicing my opinion, that lot of game OST lost "soul", if that make sense. Hw many themes or game scores you can hum or sign, almost none would be my humble guess.
I don't want to brag, since I worked hard to do this, I am ghost producer for a lot of trance and DnB artist, where melody is a king. And make a melody which stick in your head, it's extremely hard, even simple ones. Think about like this, it's really hard to do a logo for company or site, to be easily remembered. I think ERA and the site which-should-not-be-name did an excellent job. Simple, yet effective and rememberable.
What actually I miss in a lot of OSTs nowadays is melody, something to remember. Most of the time it's overdone layered something which sounds good, but when it stops playing do you remember it?
I will want to hear your opinion on this and I have some list of games I played which had great OST:
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Have I need to say more? One of the best OST in games ever)
Dust: The Elysian Tail
Hotline Miami 1 and 2
Mass Effect 1
Uncharted....well mainly the Nate Theme, but 3rd has a great OST.
Halo, pretty much every single one, but Unforgotten is a masterpiece (I don't Halo besides Reach, ODST at all, but Marty).
Fury
Forza Horizon (pretty much all of them)
Life is Strange
Life is Strange: Before the Storm
Fallout: New Vegas
Ori and the Blind Forest and that trailer of Ori and Will of the Wisps (I guess every person named Gareth in UK is good producer)
Deus Ex: Human revolution
Red Dead Redemption
Sorry for coward escape, but I have been down mixing and mastering one track for 8 hours, I need to get some sleep, but I would like you to let me know what other games has OSTs with melody which is worth the fuck.
