Can a bad soundtrack totally ruin an otherwise good game?

No not really.

Yeah, look at Undertale

>>383737787
Yes, Megaman X3. With a few exceptions, that soundtrack was god awful and the instrument choices were terrible.

>>383737787
not if you mute that shit

No, but a good soundtrack can make a middling game above average.

Specifically thinking of RiME here. The gameplay is extremely average (if passable), but the music makes it a worthwhile pirate

>>383737787
Yes. Radiant Historia was ruined by a single sound effect - the "confirm" sfx.

>>383737787
Yes, bayonetta is the best example of this.

Yes,a lot of modern games are bad exactly for that reason.

>>383737787
I couldn't get past the first World of Yoshi's Wooly World because I hated the music so much. I played most of Persona 4 muted because I really didn't like the main battle theme.

Then I would just listen to the soundtrack. Not play a shitty game while listening to a good soundtrack

No not really, but a good soundtrack can elevate a game to a way higher level.

It's the least likely thing to be a game breaker.

>>383738057
I disagree with you.

>>383737787
If the soundtrack to a game is poor, it can cheapen the feel of it. Like having shitty garage band rock going when you're supposed to be having an emotional moment.

XCX soundtrack is great, the only meh songs are in New LA

>>383737787

Listening to a good soundtrack while playing a game will trick you into thinking the gameplay is better than it is.

>>383737787
No, you can just mute that shit and put on your own music.

Not only is this bait wrong, it's wrong twice.
