Could someone explain how the music after Megaman x3 turned from upbeat metal into some poor-techno? Is this a joke?

>> No.1049230

You're generalizing

That's just one example, but the PSX series had varying music genres. It wasn't all "poor" techno.

I always wondered about X4's soundtrack. A lot of it sounds like it was done with some sort of tracker or MIDI instruments, whereas X5 onward sounds more like real instruments. I really wish they had kept X5 and X6's style going onto the PS2 games instead of "LET'S ABUSE GUITAR FEEDBACK" or whatever they were trying to do

(cont.) I really think X5 nailed the soundtrack. It's probably my favorite next to X1's and helps recapture the "epic" tone that wasn't as strong in some of the other games.

>> No.1049793

>X3
>good music

Hell no, that shit is abysmal. X4 did sort of try to take it to a techno-y music, but it was down well and probably has the best intro song of all X games.

X6 has the most rockin' OST in the series, man. (Even if a couple of its tracks are remixes of older games' tracks)
You must be joking.

>> No.1049967

I want to know why it turned into crappy metal in X to begin with after it was just awesome videogame music in the originals.

I'm sorry, but I fucking hate the X series. HEY I KNOW LET'S FORCE A FUCKING STORY INTO A GAME THAT DOESN'T REALLY NEED ONE.

Sounds like modern gaming garbage. All the way back on the SNES.

Metal was only popular in the 80s, megaman was obviously trying to stay current. Most brands do this.

>> No.1050047

x1 and x2 had varied music. x3 snes is the one that started the "electric guitar everywhere"
x3 psx version tried to make a new ost, but its pretty average. parts of songs that need guitar won't have it.

What are you guys fucking idiots? A lot of the soundtracks were rock/metal because his fucking name is fucking Rock Man.

Awesome song, but it doesn't really fit the stage.

Like, it was obviously written with the bike part of the stage in mind, but most of the level is slow-paced puzzle solving. The whole game was just kinda poorly thought out.

Agreed. The whole premise of Megaman X is cringe-worthy. It's like Batman Beyond, or that "edgy" reboot of Looney Tunes they made about ten years ago.
