Honestly it was the vocals that made me think Nickleback(sp?). The music did add to that afterwards.
This is the type of vocals I’d expect in a GG track with vocals.
Also, wasn’t really paying attention to the game but RGG(Yakuza):Ishin just sold me on a PS4…so yeah…
Thinking about it more. Why wasn’t Lapis Lazuli in this shit, lol?!
HOW?! You’re typical nickleback song goes like this:
Acoustic guitar intro, then drums kick in, then electric guitar and whatnot. The lyrics are almost always about some girl and your typical love related lyrics, but are also prone to your generic happy happy joy joy stuff like “IF EVERYONE CARED AND NOBODY CRIED”.
Please, tell me, no, tell ALL of us, how Heavy Day, with it’s cheerful tone and lyrics about how Sol wants to win Jam’s heart, reminds you of nickleback.
I like Heavy Day with the trailer.
Fight me.
What he means is that the song sounds like Butt Rock. Because it is Butt Rock. It has nothing to do with the composition of the melody or the lyrical purpose, it’s the fact that the singer is covering up how not good of a singer he is by eating gravel. Nickelback is just the kings of Butt Rock so it’s usually the go to comparison for people who don’t know how to explain what they mean. Japan is pretty famous for Butt Rock in video games though, it’s kinda their thing.
But… comeback mechanics are bad mechanics…
We really gonna do this again or can you can you just keep a lid on it. I’d be sad as fuck to see this thread turn into a debate about fucking comeback mechanics of all things. Last time it was a 20 page thread on whether bursts counted as come back mechanics or not.
What is the general consensus on the past GG soundtracks? I always thought they were pretty good. I was pretty disappointed to hear the Nickelback-style trailer music. I wish they would have done a remake of the Guilty Gear X trailer music.
Even by butt rock standards, nickleback of all people? 3 days grace is your butt rock. Some of select old godsmack songs are your butt rock. Nickleback is like, on a whole different league though. They’re in some weird position where they’re walking some thin line between boy band and hard rock (and occasionally fall off and make an actual consistently good song).
I’m just dumbfounded that of all comparisons you could make of the hundreds of thousands if not more bands out there, nickleback was the one that popped into his head. I’m not even mad or upset about this, I’m just confused.
He’s not even using the term right. “Butt rock” is a derogatory term we used to use for hair metal bands such as Poison, Whitesnake, Twisted Sister Scorpions and 80’s Bon Jovi.
There is no such thing as 2muchbooty lol
It doesn’t have to be. You can enjoy something while acknowledging its more hilarious aspects. There is good Butt Rock and bad Butt Rock, just like anything else.
Still using the term wrong.
Not really.
From the same page.
I dunno when and why you kids started appropriating terms and applying them to something else.
Us post 80s kids and our lack of knowledge of butt rocks!
Butt rock.
I can’t wait to see Baiken and Jams fine asses with this new style.
Also Chipp Zanuff been doing them dead lifts.
Yes there can unfortunately.
I refuse to call that tub of lard “booty.”
Now cleanse your eyes with this, and the healing can begin.
To get back on topic how has the “feel” of the game been described?
Because words, much like everything else, evolves over time and doesn’t retain the same meanings they did when they were originally created. “Gay” for instance has multiple meanings ever since the creation of the internet and kids using it in ways that were not derogatory against homosexuals, but instead for things that were undesirable and lame in everyday life that had nothing to do with people of the same sex being attracted to each other.
Butt Rock means more than it used to mean.
