Sony paid for a lot of the rewards it did get.

I'm currently playing GoW:R and it's a great game but I usually don't even notice the music.

The new God of War, just like the original series in the mid 2000s, is a very overrated series.

the 2018 game had some memorable moments that were very much accentuated by the throat-singing and somber horns, but i can't recall a single piece of music from ragnarok

I gotta agree with you, not gonna lie. It's just that you know, it won a price for the best soundtrack. So far, I think Elden Ring and Xenoblade both had better music...

It sounds nice and always fits well the area theyre in. Also VGA are just the oscars for games and that comes with all the good and bad.

It has a good soundtrack.

But I think Xenoblade 3 should have won.

This song, and the one that plays during the events of Ragnarok come to mind. There are a few pretty good ones.

It has weird sound glitches. The music will just stop mid-gameplay. That's when it's most noticable.

Not even close. It's the last song that plays.

i dont even really like most of the vocalists in metal hellsinger and it was still better than epikkkk sad dad orchestra

anyway the music category of the game awards has always pretty much been a joke. i will never forget 2015 where they gave it to jeff's best friend kojima for MGSV over both Undertale and The Witcher 3

The soundtrack is pretty good (Blood Upon the Snow and Raeb's Lament are great) but I would've preferred if another game got the award. As someone mentioned Xenoblade 3 beats it in the quantity AND quality, IMO.

Even then, XC3 soundtrack doesnt hold a candle to 1 and 2 which didnt get nominated. This is just how award shows are.

I agree that it was the "weakest" out of the 3, but the Xenoblade games have some of the best soundtracks I have heard in any video game, I still rank 3 among the great soundtracks
