Spoilers:

They gave the win to "Journey", which while it was very nice, couldn't hold a candle to Mass effect 3 and Especially the EPIC variety in Halo 4. I HATED Halo 4 ( the story, multiplayer, game mechanics ), but the soundtrack was PHENOMINAL.

How Halo 4 didn't win the award for best music is beyond me.

Leave it to IGN to praise Halo 4 to no end ( even thought it was an overall mediocre experience ), yet not award it the winner of Best Music. while this is just my opinion, and Journey had some very nice pieces I feel that Journey's music was all too similar and was a nice set of ambient tracks wheras Halo 4 encompassed a wide variety of Songs that set itself above the competititon.

My Verdict ?

Best Music: Halo 4

Runner Up: Mass Effect 3

P.S ----> This song alone Puts Mass Effect 3 ahead of Journey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5JvbD2Zc9I&feature=player _embedded


--------------------------------------------------------

What are your thoughts ? Is IGN right this time ( for once ) or is the Journey soundtrack Overrated ?

I do not want to stop asking. I do not ask to stop wanting.

No.

NO.

NO.

I loved Halo 4's soundtrack, and I really liked the game as well, but Journey is by far my game of the year. May even go down as my game of this decade.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

You've got a selection of fantastic soundtracks and you have to choose a winner. They could have stuck them to a wall and thrown a dart to decide and they would have made a good choice. What are ya gonna do?

  • 12.21.2012 4:18 PM PDT

You know if they chose halo everyone would complain about that too. You can't make anyone happy.

What was Journey? Never heard of it.

  • 12.21.2012 4:20 PM PDT

OMGZZ!!!!!!

"It's Afghanistanimation!"

Journey deserved the award. It has fantastic music!

  • 12.21.2012 4:21 PM PDT

I'm glad Halo 4 didn't get best music as it's music was mediocre and forgettable.

  • 12.21.2012 4:21 PM PDT

Journey got a grammy nomination

so i would say it deserved a simple video game award

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

It's about a desert? Clearly didn't deserve anything.

  • 12.21.2012 4:29 PM PDT

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

The only good track from Halo 4 was "Arrival".

Its the only one i remember to...

Yup. Just like how Halo 4 is a generic game about a dude who runs around and shoots Aliens in the face.

Havn't played Journey, watched the whole game playthrough on Youtube.

Lisntened to both soundtracks in their entirety.

I'm talking about the soundtracks not the game itself.

The game itself is irrelevent. It's about the music.

Yes, The Abysmal Halo 4 had tons of music. In fact it had a 15+ piece soundtrack release.

sarcasm noted.

My troll sense is tingling.

The soundtrack is phenomenal and easily the best of the year. It's pretty much half the experience and tells the story the same way the classic symphonies would.
