Absolute worst music in a game?

Ah yes, another thread to bring up the KOF games from when SNK was dead: KOF2001 and 2002.

-snip-

Everything, and I mean everything about this post is 100% accurate and correct.

KoF 2001 soundtrack needs to die in a fire, the whole thing is ass. It's so bad that actually, the one song you posted (the Japan Team one) is actually one of the better songs on that soundtrack by a country mile.
 
People just don't know Sawano.

NLA sountracks depict the Western Culture
Ma-non's soundtracks depicts the East Culture

It's that simple.


Yoshi's New Island ost was god awful after the amazing Yoshi's Island from the Snes,

That really doesn't have anything to do with whether or not people like the music.

That said, I love the NLA themes.

There's a fine line between worst and best.

The Sonic Spinball Options Menu music.

How long can you go? My record is around 18 minutes. By then I start to see things that don't exist.

Think we have a winner here. It's terrible AND it hurts.


Actually I now think this is one of the better video game songs I've heard.

The Messenger from Dissidia is another choice, particularly the final boss version.

The instruments are fine (albeit unfitting for a final battle) but those lyrics... those fucking lyrics.

The Messenger is
Standing at the gate.
Ready to let go,
Ready for the crush.
Too late for whispers,
Too late for the blush.
The past is mercy,
When the future's glow.
Kneeling journey,
Dressed in a cloak of shadows.
The hunting's grim for the innocent eyes.
Communion's pray is a cup of sorrows.
But faith is colors,
For the humbling cries.

The pilgrims are gathering and the marching band,
The marching band's howling.
Compassion is the flag a righteous man,
A righteous man will hold.
The pilgrims are gathering and the marching band,
The marching band's howling.
Compassion is the flag a righteous man,
A righteous man will hold.

The spirit is over town,
Waiting for me to hit the floor.
Blooming white sky for the voice of one calling tonight
Tonight fate is the red crown,
The red crown around your door.
Time's scattering the seeds of the morning daylight.

Haha! I know it's weird but this song actually grew on me when I was playing that game.

I never realized the chorus was in English though, amazing! Now that I know all the lyrics are so utterly stupid, I can't help but enjoy it even more.

Hong Kong '97 comes to mind, I remember I couldn't stop laughing at the AVGN episode of it. It's a couple of seconds that loops for all of eternity.

The Witcher 3 has an awesome soundtrack except one song that makes me want to hurl my controller at the TV every time I hear it. Just some awful singing by that lady.

A) It doesn't fit with the vibe at all
B) But the actual groove is pretty great, and has that Western thing going on
C) But the vocals are vacuous

... I don't know what to believe
I've been to LA. This is exactly what the city sounds like.

I freaking love Yoshi's New Island music. Yeah, it doesn't sound the greatest, but it sounds like music yoshis would actually make. It just makes me think of a bunch of simple-minded yoshis running around with kazoos. I can't even handle it, cute overload.
