While we'd all like to say we aren't picking based on game, there is that little bit of influence there that wants the better game to win. That may be true, occasionally, but not very often for me any more. Truthfully, I can count the number of games I've played that have come out in the last five years on my hands. If I appreciate a newer game's soundtrack, it's purely because I appreciate that game's soundtrack. This goes for almost anything that's less than twenty years old. And when a game I've played does come up, I'm mostly able to separate the context, with a few specific exceptions where the moment is particularly dramatic. (Say, Suicide Mission, for instance.) No, I don't want the better game to win. I want the better song to win. pyresword posted... My hypothesis for a while on that subject has been that by this point most people's favorites are out and that most of the songs that can make it this far are ones that land in the "good but not great" category for many people. If songs are good but not great, then why is there so much animosity, and all these claims of worst contest winner or horrible champion or whatever? --- Video Game Music Contest 12: Now in progress! ...
