Am I the only one who found the music unappealing?

[Durango]

It's too movie-like for my tastes. It has a couple of epic beats, but it's nowhere near as melodic as it used to be. Dan Forden's work in the first 4 games really drew my attention. The Asian-sounding tunes and epic beats of The Pit, Palace Gates, Wasteland, and The Bridge, not to mention the epic organ of The Temple, kept me playing just so I could hear the music of these stages while I fight.

I'm glad they give you the option to play Klassic Music, because that's what I always do. The only new songs or arrangements in this game I like are The Armory, The Courtyard, The Courtyard (Night), and Goro's Lair. I'm really hoping Dan Forden goes back to the old MK1-3 style he had for the next game, or better yet, even go with that mystical feeling of Mythologies and MK4's style.

as a big of a Dan Forden fan there is, I didnt have much of an issue with the MK9 music, other than the fact Dan Forden's music IS MK.

 

[Iustinus]

There's music in this game?

Lul, that was my thought when I finally heard the music once I turned down the volume on the sound and voices. They really screwed up on the volume for the BGM, you have to like turn everything else down by 50%.

My exact thought...I never understood why people online always wanted to do the klassic music kode when I could never even hear the music in the first place.

Hey Z9 from gfaqs, lol. Didn't know you're from PA.

Anyway, the music sucks. I'm tired of Klassic Musik. I refuse to pick it anymore. Fix it next game.

 

[Z-911-Z]

Sup, Yeah I'm surprised at how many players there are in the Philly cheesesteak area.

Honestly they should just make every piece of music in the game incorporate heavy use of the accordion and pipe organ.

I always hated MK music. So boring, repetitive and kinda forgettable. Sure, it fits the dark MK universe but I kinda wish MK had more catchy tunes. The only MK theme I really like is the old Reptile theme. I hate Skrillex though.

Street Fighter and Killer Instinct, now THAT'S some good music I'll listen to on my ipod.

 

[Z-911-Z]

Oh dude, Killer Instinct has like the best main theme ever in a fighting game.

Amazing shit.

Mk1 Soundtrack is fucking epic. But that "old Reptile" isnt MK music, its Juno Reactors remix of a Traci Lords song!!! fuck the MK movies, but the soundtracks to those flicks were amazing.

dude, i love your avatars lol

on topic: i personally like the music, is not the best, but is good enough for me, specially the rooftop one

 

[Durango]

Much like MK, Street Fighter's music has seen better days. I'm not a particular fan of the techno approach they've taken recently. Everything from SF2, through the Alpha series, and SF3 was really good. But they dropped the ball on SF4's soundtrack.

MvC3 has too much techno, but the songs that aren't are quite good. BlazBlue, Dead or Alive, and Soul Calibur have the best music in fighters currently.

 

[Vulcan Hades]

See this is what MK music lacks: CHARISMA, MELODY, EPICNESS AND CATCHYNESS.

Spoiler

What's Stryker's theme again? Subway stage? The Streets? The Rooftop? What are Baraka's and Jade's themes? Exactly.

 

[Durango]

Agree completely. Like I said before, MK 1-4 had the best music and I still find myself listening to the tracks on YouTube or playing with Klassic Music. I just wish there was a way to let NRS know.

 

[JacopeX]

IMO, MK4/MKG's soundtrack was the best. I mean seriously...The stage music was just epic that even I remember how they went and always sound familiar when I hear them. Such fast paced catchy beats and MKish melody. Too bad the shitty voices of the characters made the soundtrack unforgettable to many people. Where did Dan Forden go wrong after that.

Spoiler

And My personal favorite


I still don't even know how most of the music in MK9 go. If I had to hum it, I would not be able to. >.>

 

[Massive Kano]

Whoa. You can actually hear the music?

How'd you manage that?

 

[Rathalos]

Yes, MK10 needs better, LOUDER music. Some of its alright, but its to ambient. Also it needs character themes, well I hate dubstep, those songs inspired by the warriors should have been in the game. If there really lazy just add in custom soundtracks, but like actual ones, not just xbox dashboard music crap, allow me to set music to stages and characters.

Also, the game really needs an announcer, quan chi would be perfect. It's just so weird how the failed so hard on the sound design, well the sounds you can actually hear are pretty good though, especially the tin can sounds when you punch robots.

 

[MagicMan357]

For all the people talkin about not hearing the music, turn down the SFX

As for the mk9 music, its boss

i dunno why you guys are so picky

I hear it just fine, I was suprised to hear people saying they couldn't hear it. But I've got a 5.1 setup, so maybe that's why.

Also, the game really needs an announcer

No thanks.

 

[GNG Iniquity]

New Killer Instinct already, please. Forgot how amazing the music was...
