He’s not wrong. Old school Nintendo and super Nintendo and Sega Genesis songs gets stuck in my head all the time. Same can’t be said of modern-day AAA games.
Yeah, take Jeremy Soule, for example. He’s talented, experienced, and composing all of these broad symphonic soundtracks for Elder Scrolls, Skyrim, and Harry Potter games.
But, what’s the soundtrack of his that sticks out in my mind? Secret of Evermore. Underrated as fuck soundtrack for an underrated as fuck game. Back when he was forced to compose for a game with limited hardware and instrumentation, where he had to use distinct melodies to achieve a sound that sticks in everybody’s minds.
Every Frame a Painting did a good video on this subject, as it pertains to the Marvel movies.
Thats because the game only had 6 songs, and they played on repeat for 20 hours straight
Butthurt modern gamer? Lol
FF6 OST has 61 tracks.
COD Modern Warfare 3 OST has 20 tracks.
I could be wrong since I’m going off of what YouTube Music has, but you’re way off base.

I would gladly listen to the streets of rage 2 soundtrack on repeat for hours.
Dee dee do do do do
Do dah dee dee dee dee
