I feel like games have been trying to copy films in terms of OSTs. There are still games like Super Hexagon and Payday 2 coming out every so often, but most games seem to forego having good music for bland orchestral shit. It's probably more expensive to get an OST like that than it is to higher some Soundcloud artist to write you one.
What happened to the days of devs getting bands like Nine Inch Nails to do a soundtrack?
Pic completely unrelated. Although TF2 does coincidentally have some great music.

Because music is one of the last assets you create for your game, and it's usually outsourced. When devs are working on the game, they use whatever they have available to them as template music, which is, more often than not, pseudo-classical bullshit. When they're done and ask a composer to create the soundtrack, they provide for reference whatever they have been listening to while developing the game.

Bastion and Transistor have superb OSTs. There are a couple indie fags who put effort into their game's music although they are difficult to find among the vast waves of shovelware
OSTs are mostly bland because of what >>16418216 says. It's the last thing you would normally think about as a developer and normally doesn't get as much attention unless you are some 'games are art' nigger in which case it doesn't matter because whatever you are going to produce is postmodernist unlistenable shit, you care enough about it or your development cycle isn't hot garbage and you didn't have to go full sweatshop the last weeks of work.

It's really apparent in fantasy games. Instead of going for a true fantasy sound, composers instead try to emulate film soundtracks because of the Lord of the Rings movies. It got so tedious that dorks on the internet made their own music genre just to show these composers what they actually want.

The worst part is that orchestras sound amazing when given music by people who actually know how to use them. That's what separates generic cape movie music from Yoko Shimomura OSTs. Most composers do absolutely nothing to bring out the personality of the individual instruments, treating them all like interchangable synth samples.
Paying for an orchestra and choir without capitalizing on its potential is like buying a Lamborghini to shuttle the kids to school, residential streets only, and five under the speed limit. While on cruise control.

I would venture to say that most games do not benefit from the archetypal big epic orchestral soundtrack, but Total Annihilation is one that does. It's similar to 40k in that regard; factions that barely resemble humanity (if at all) sparing no resources or strategies in a kill or be killed conflict that has spanned longer than anyone can remember or can even record sustainably. Like the war at hand, the music doesn't spare anything, going over the top and beyond.

Linking to YouTube/HookTube/Invidious makes download requests to Google's servers. Even with as much tracking blocking, script blocking, and adblocking as you can muster, you are still telling Google that your IP is requesting this specific video, which they can and do use to track you. You can avoid this to some degree with TOR or a VPN, but that is foiled if you don't take measures to mask your browser's fingerprint, which is very difficult to do in practice.
You can safely access videos on googlevideo.com by using a secure VPN or TOR and fully masking your browser's fingerprint. It would be a useless measure against somebody who really wanted to find you (like a government agency), but against tracking it's fine, but it's a lot more trouble than just using a webm instead and allowing other people to not worry at all about Google collecting data on their browsing habits.

No. You are tracked by posting here, but saying that you're more tracked posting here than making direct requests to Google servers is ignorant at best.
You might be more tracked by government entities, using machine learning to make profiles of anonymous posters by writing style (protip: machine learning can identify unique authors in masses of anonymous text data with a very high certainty), but that's a completely different area from being tracked and profiled by corporations for advertising and data-selling purposes.
You can accept the amount of tracking that is inevitable (at least without going completely dark and never having discussions at all on the internet) without completely giving up. I'm not going to roll over and make it easy for advertising companies just because I can't help being tracked in other ways.
Always push back, always fight, and win the easy battles while working to make the hard battles easier to win. One of the easy battles to win is making efforts to entirely bypass known trackers and profilers as much as possible. By using webms instead of linking to Google Servers, you make everybody a little bit safer.

Fun fact, just loading a page with a youtube embed sends data to google and downloads information from google. If you have javascript enabled, it even loads google's tracking scripts iirc.

Yep. 8ch doesn't use a "real" youtube embed, instead using a javascript function to expand it into a real embed when it is left-clicked, but the image at least is immediately fetched from img.youtube.com or ytimg.com. By default, that request also includes your Referer in a header that tells Google where you've been redirected from. Trackers use this referer information heavily, especially google, which experiences tons of redirects to YouTube.
You can have your browser block the referer, and some extensions let you block the referer for just specific sites (as fully blocking referer headers can break some sites). You can have a website set a policy to make web browsers not use the referer header on links (which 8ch really should use, at least on embeds, but doesn't): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Referer_header:_privacy_and_security_concerns

In the movie industry, scenes are made with copyrighted songs in mind, and then they replace it with "original" songs that KIND OF SOUND LIKE the song used for that scene.
On big scale hollywood projects, there is next to no symphonic music and it's never the focus of a scene, and the big studios who made video games came from the movie industry, or are outsourced from the movie industry, or are failed movie music guys working in just another corp. "Music is not supposed to be noticed" is somehow the philosophy of this cancer. And the music people are NOT respected by the big shot types. Temp Music is the term.
Some dude designs an entire scene around "Black Betty" but can't get the rights, so they tell their composers to imitate the music. Now doing this to a dude who came into compose music, not imitate, means literally all music made by Hollywood and it's types is literally bootleg music. Shitty as fuck.
Video game music used to be good because it was a compliment to the game. Now it's just been subsumed into cancerous hollywood practices focused around big egos and drives instead of coming up with a part and doing well.
Hollywood is structured like this:
Bigshot
>OKAY EVERYONE HE'RE'S MY VISION DO NOT D E V I A T E
While old game studios and small time studios are structured like
>I'm the composer, I'm going to make good music
>Sweet, and I'll make the models
>Here's my kickass drawings that I, the concept artist made
>Hey texture guy can you do good dick texturing HELL YEAH I CAN
The whole TEAM works together, as equals, to put out a vision. They argue for the purpose of the quality of the product.
Hollywood and face it this is fucking Hollywood shit, is all about focus groups and hierarchies, no one questions the project they're working on or they get replaced by someone who doesn't like their opinion.
There is no risk taken because any risk taken means you're fired. There is no melody because the melodists are underfoot. There is no good game because everyone's replaceable.

Doesn't really exist. Most old games and their studios were designed and staffed by a group of close friends or colleagues, who, after years of bonding, developed a common vision of sorts. Doom is a great example because it came about because of a D&D campaign that Carmack was DMing in which Romero was a complete That Guy and did something so egregious that Carmack said "Fuck it, demons from hell pour forth." Romero is a twat so he naturally thought that was cool instead of obnoxious and rolled with it. Regardless it was an experience that everyone on the team shared and understood on a fundamental level.
Compare that to modern professional game design. A bunch of kids are hired to make a game. None of them knew each other before their hire date. Most of them have divergent viewpoints or egos that expect everyone to go along with what they're saying because it's obviously the coolest idea. This adds credit to your point, but at the same time games like Deus Ex could most likely never be designed organically by a group of friends. It took a writer or small group of writers ages of sitting in a room, thinking and bouncing ideas off other people in a pattern that only he could understand at the time. Because a game like that is really ultimately driven by the narrative choices the player makes.

As proof, the soundtracks of games like Megaman X4-6 or SotN are amazing even though there wasn't any limitation anymore. But they did come out right after the 16 bit era, so either the good music trend or the relatively lower cost of musicians was still in place.

Between the cliques, politics, proper music education, and experimentation, I see that music is often a reflection of our society.
When I started learning music, I fucking sucked but I persisted and got good at it. Many people are not willing to put in the time and money, I mean I have a decade experience of performing, learning, and half of that is composing and still feel like there is more out there and do not get me started on mixing, because I am still trying to learn it. Composing comes from within, I despise when composers try to mimic other people style's 1:1. As a listener, it is as if you are being castrated from hearing the different styles. Also, composers cannot be good at most genres, otherwise we can not exercise our skills and fine-tune them.
The second generation to the fifth generation did have some limitations, but that made each console have an unique sound and the composers could complement them with their unique styles. Limitations do not always necessarily come from the technology all the time, but it is mostly from the genre choice and what the game is about. SotN borrows Baroque and Gothic elements and fuses them with rock whereas MMX goes with different types of rock, hence the Japanese name Rockman. The 90s had an explosive creative period in terms of new genres, Soichi Terada was fresh off of experimenting DnB before tackling on Ape Escape and he seems to be the best fit for the series.
Finally, because composers and sound designers were usually given a strict budget and deadlines, the stress forces them to think quick in their feet. Without those restrictions, most of the time visions blur and arguments ensue.
Don't get me wrong there is still good video game music out there now, you just have to look for it. Also, I miss in-house vidya bands, must have been fun for people to actually show how well they were able face the limitations and translate the piece with live instruments with amazing results. I do not have much insight with composers in the vidya industry, but I know a drought when I hear one.
tl;dr Art in all fields is severely lacking in passion and hard work, most "artists" just want to get the recognition not pushing themselves to the limit to create some iconic pieces.

Bear in mind that the internet combined with the complete degeneration of pop to little more than computer generated noise has probably made it impossible to find music that defines a decade.

Wrong. The Zoroastrians for instance worshiped Ohrmazd, the perfect good god, sovereign and immutable, and reviled Ahriman, the perfect evil god, wicked and implacable.

Honestly, another problem is game devs trying to do retro, but fucking it up spectacularly. Like, even Sonic the Hedgehog can't get it right anymore.

Naofumi Hayata is one of the compsers for this game and he's known for his stellar work on Virtua Racing Deluxe but he did not work on the Genesis as much back then. I guess that is another reason to learn about the nuances of older technology in terms of sound. There's still new techniques being discovered on the SID chip, and it comes to show that poor design could lead to some pretty innovative stuff.

Shinto holds that the forces of the world, being forces that are alien to mankind and that have no particular regard for mankind but that mankind can still try to figure out and to work with, represent (or are represented) by wild spirits whose interactions with man are determined by how people interact with them and by how people interact with the world around them.
Coming from a philosophy that recognises how the universe is not an inherently pro-human place and how its forces do not necessarily act in mankind's favour, you can see why the Japanese would be highly suspicious of the Abrahamic concept of a "good" god being responsible for the world we know.

I'll have to disagree on a good 60% of these games. Yeah, HLM and Super Hexagon had some great music but Devil Daggers and SS3 sure as fuck didn't.
Devil Daggers especially, I like industrial and ambient but it's way too cluttered and noisy. I'm probably just biased because I hate that game in general.

Sorry for the offtopic.
On topic, I think it's mostly necessity. Most of the really good video game music was from times when a console had 4 distinct audio channels at the most. With a limited soundscape (and with it very difficult to get more complex sounds in the day; most of them were programming in a shitty assembly dialect that didn't even have macros. Some companies programmed their own in-house software to pre-parse the assembly with its own macro language into the limited Nintendo assembler they got), they were forced to make the music sound better. They couldn't take shortcuts like simple chord progressions with some random notes on key thrown in. They had enough audio channels for one two-note chord and two other sounds, and usually you filled one sound channel with sound effects purely anyway.
It was good, cure, creative work that had to come from strong limitations. If you took the same musicians and put them with today's means, they'd probably make music that sounded more like popular music from their times. These days, everything is about the fantasy epic since Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, so epic fantasy things have epic fantasy scores.
There's also the big-budget nature of games these days makes making a game into more of a business prospect. Most developers these days figured out how they can thicken the bottom line the most, where previously, they only knew that they could sell by making a better game, so that's what they targeted. Hard times indeed do make good men. People develop necessarially out of necessity. They have crutches now that people didn't have before, so they don't have to work so hard anymore for acceptable products.
The exceptions are ridiculously talented autists who can still write good music because they don't understand the optimization games or are somehow not swayed by how easy it is to cut those corners. They're not as prolific as they were, but they're still there, if you look in the right places. Look for the autists who care more about what they're making than about the bottom line.

That doesn't make any sense. That would mean the leotard is digging into the ass cheek instead the pussy.

What a double nigger. It has nothing do with with the particular image removed and everything to do with Mark removing the image from the OP just because he didn't like it. You're just as bad as those saying "Are pedo cartoons/anime titties/sexist games really the hill you want to die on?" as if everyone defending them is only doing so to protect their wank material, when the core issue is one of freedom of expression.

What a nigger. Just becaue OP says the image is unrelated doesn't mean it is. If I post jewcy hiney and say it's (You), is it true? You've essentially sabotaged this thread with your antics and now bumplocked it out of shame. Have some good vidya music cakejew.
