It feels like newer games are just too quiet. No background music, just “ambient noise” if you’re lucky. And as someone who really likes Video Game Music I find that disappointing.
Is it just me or do newer titles really lack BGM?
It honestly feels like newer games are ashamed of looking or feeling too much like stereotypical video games and overcorrect as a result.
Like is it just me? Or have you noticed this too?
I don’t see it. I would notice becsuse I prefer it Dark Souls style; no music anywhere except where it would really punch things up a notch like the title screen, the hub area and during a boss fight.
Even Elden Ring has normal BGM and it’s fucking weird compared to DS and BB.
Could you maybe have turned on a “streamer” mode by mistake? That setting basically turns the music off in a lot of games; especially ones using liscenced tracks.
