Why don't modern western AAA games have memorable soundtracks

Halo 3

I dont get the point of selling OST's, the point of a soundtrack is to complement and enhance gameplay. Do people actually fucking listen to videogame music instead of actual music?

Does Metroid Prime counts as Modern?

Maybe you're just an autistic weeb neckbeard who has different taste in music? Ever thought of that?

Because editors are afraid of creativity, they see it as risk taking

>>387804616
Usually not
NieR and Autmata are among my few exceptions, along with Hotmine Miami, FF XIV, and the Soulsborne series

>people shouldn't make good music because videogames aren't allowed to have them

>>387804728
I guess my actual point was why is there a market for it? Especially when if you actually own the game you can hear all the fucking songs anyway.

Well yes, soundtrack selling is a thing since movies, which to me seems even more baffling 'cause at least some games have musics that stands on their own, opposed to movies where each piece is made for mickey mousing

>Sonic Mania
Fun, upbeat, jazzy tunes made by a bunch of literally who sonic autists
>Nier
Million of dollars in budget results in some bitch wailing into the mic over and over for the entire game

nice bait

They want their games to be movies so bad that they follow the same garbage no memorable music.

Can anyone who disagree give me some example of good, memorable soundtracks of modern western games?

>>387804285
The Western entertainment industry got this idea in their heads that music in entertainment media should be as obscure and bland as possible.

In some interviews bigtime composers and musicians were asked about the subject. While not saying it outright a lot of them were visibly pissed.
