>orchestra is trash
Listen to these tracks:
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance - Rhiza´s Way of the Hightway
Ace Combat 4 - Megalith
Super Mario Galaxy - final battle
Max Payne 2 theme (one of the greatest main themes of all time imo)
Plenty of great, memorable orchestral music out there. Orchestras are not the problem, the "music should not be heard" meme is. Older games didn't have a choice here, but ironically created some of the best video game music because of it.
New games have inoffensive and bland gameplay, it's no surprise the music is the same way.
