Majora’s Mask

I get it, it’s supposed to sound creepy and cursed, but there is a very fine line between fittingly cursed and just ugly. Rhythmically, it’s boring. Harmonically, it’s bland. The …

Pico Park

This game damages friendships, and the soundtrack and repetitive sound effects add to that. I love it! There is absolutely no variety throughout the repetitive use in the same sounds, …

Monster Hunter Wilds

In general, this game sounds INCREDIBLE. But I have a few pet peeves. The slinger is a tool the player will use frequently, and often in succession. Yet for some …

Rage Racer (1996)

Most of it is actually quite decent for the time, the music is also sick. The tire screeches in the sharp corners sound really weird though!!!

Bus Driver Gold (2007)

One of my favorite games as a kid, but the bus engine sounds synthesized, a bit unresponsive and just doesn’t feel like I’m driving a big heavy bus to me! …

Arma 2 – DayZ Mod

Slechte spaciale awareness van voetstappen, ook geen duidelijke indicatie van op welk oppervlakte ze lopen

Spyro

Great game but remember that the audio wasnt the best.

Rise of Nations

It’s a huge mess of sound. The sound also does not represent a bomb in my opinion. The sound is clipping. Furthermore, I don’t find it elegant that you hear …

Journey to the Center of the Earth

The voice acting is hilarious. When the player dies you hear moans instead of screams. When jumping in the cave there is little to no reverb on the voice, but …

Mega Man X7

(Loudness warning) Voice acting is slecht en FX zijn repetatief. De video spreekt vrijwel voor zichzelf.

Halo: Reach

[heavy breathing intensifies] Spartans are supposed to be genetically, mentally, and technologically enhanced warriors with the stamina of a racehorse and suits of armour that offer more protection than real-world …

Grandma

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad3wibXdJMk. Grandma is a low budget indie horror game. The game is made by uneasy games a very small team consisting of a team of fewer than 5 people. Although …

Apex Legends

The sounds themself are fine, if you can here them at all… Approaching enemies are often inaudible because eighter: footstep sounds that keep cutting out, enemy gunfire makes little to …

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake

all the grind sounds sound off in this game. stone grinding obstacles sounds like hollow wooden boxes. every metal grind sounds like a knife or something. and most of the …

Slenderman

Slenderman is natuurlijk een klassieker, en heeft zeker veel nostalgische waarde. Toch vind ik, als ik er nu op terug kijk, dat de onderliggende muziek erg goedkoop klinkt. Mogelijk ging …

Kerbal Space Program

Fantastic game, but it sounds like they haven’t put much attention to the sound design. The rocket engines sound like they’re clipping, and when there are multiple rockets running you …

Old School Runescape

I love these sounds because they feel very nostalgic to me, but they are so ugly. There are only a small amount of sounds and everything is very fake. The …

Ace Attorney (Series)

Nearly all games in the Ace Attorney series use the same text appearing sounds. Since these games revolve around the text you hear the sound almost constantly. And sometimes after …

Slenderman

Slenderman is natuurlijk een klassieker, en heeft zeker veel nostalgische waarde. Toch vind ik, als ik er nu op terug kijk, dat de onderliggende muziek erg goedkoop klinkt. Mogelijk ging …

NBA 2k17

in dit spel lieten ze echte NBA (basketbal) spelers de stemmen inspreken van hun in-game character, maar deze speler had beter thuis kunnen blijven. Leuk idee, slechte uitvoering.

GTA San Andreas

Hydra (straaljager) geluid in San Andreas is niet echt fijn om te horen. Elke keer als ik de game speel en in een straaljager wil/moet vliegen gaat het geluid van …

Ori and the Blind Forest

(watch until 1:30) The first time you hear the boss battle music in Ori and the Blind Forest, it sounds beautiful and epic but after dying and retrying multiple times, …

Pokémon Go – Catch a Charmander

Ik heb 2 pokemon filmpjes gekozen om iets te zeggen over de sound. Voor deze links vraag ik om aandacht voor de sound design van de pokmon(diertjes?) zelf. Hierbij hoor …

Counter Strike GO

Specifically bringing attention to the sound of the AK around 9.14, but what I want to bring to light are the replacement of all gun sounds throughout the game. This …

Runescape

Extremely loud special attack sound compared to other in game sounds. Shrill, distorted noise. Very uncomfortable to listen to.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion

Two NPCs with the same voice and voice lines talking to each other. They even greet each other AGAIN just after talking to one another a second ago. It’s a …

Runescape

Extremely loud compared to other game sounds. Obnoxious shrill noise that you’d have to listen to about every other minute.

Infinity Defect

The main issue with this is the audio balance. Once the music comes in at 1:17, the sound effects and narration are almost inaudible. The music has a lot of …

FINAL FANTASY II (2007 PSP Version)

For the PSP version of 1988-game FINAL FANTASY II, two extra tracks were created next to the remastered original soundtrack. The extra ‘Boss Battle B’ track is a remarkable addition; …

Yooka Laylee

All dialogues consist of repeating two or three unique sound clips for every character at different pitches. It makes me want to turn down the dialogue volume after 1minute.

Minecraft

I almost don’t want to say it, Minecraft has a cultstatus and it is, subjectively, one of the best games I have ever played. But let’s be honest, hacking away …

Grand Theft Auto – 2

In the beginning quite engaging but after a while the repetitive wheel screeching screams and gun shot will get you quite bored and turn down the volume

Phantasy Star Universe

The gameplay isn’t very intense; there’s little action and the combat is very repetitive. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The bad thing however, is that the audio DOES sound …

Doom (SEGA 32X)

Horrible use of the otherwise excellent Yamaha YM2612 chip. There are no drum sounds and it sounds like the entire thing has been made using only FM Bass patches.

Black Dessert Online

Compared to the game it’s graphics the sounds are kinda off and ruin te experience, it all sounds very noisy and misses a lot of character, same goes for the …

Zero Wing

Never have a speak and spell do the voice acting. And never have people translating a game to English, who clearly don’t speak English.

Hollow Knight

I like almost everything about the game. De music, ambiences and most sound effects are very well done. But there is one sound that I particularly don’t like, the footsteps. …

Mario Party 2

Het klinkt alsof de muziek last minute is gedaan door iemand die geen verstand heeft van timbre en ‘natuurlijke’ envelopes… Ook de schreeuw van Wario matcht totaal niet met het …

Zoo Tycoon Screams

Ik heb wederom deze gekozen. De reden waarom ik deze catagorizeer als ugly is omdat je in het begin verschillende stemmen hoort schreeuwen maar ergens op het eind hoor je …

The town with no name

“The town with no name” is a very old game. Even though the game is from 1992, the voice acting is really bad. It feels like they didn’t put effort …

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins

The overall audio is of bad quality, but this scene especially made me laugh. The voice acting is terrible and makes it impossible to take the conversation seriously.

League of legends, Lux’s Laugh

Do I even have to elaborate? Okay okay, I will: as a voice actor, laughing on command can be pretty difficult. I can only imagine the voice director going straight …

Maplestory (Pre-Big Bang)

EXTREMELY annoying hit effect sounds by the assassin player. The throwing stars really breaks immersion because it doesn’t give off the feeling of sharp small objects being flinched onto an …

Doritos Crash Course

Doritos Crash course is een spel waarbij je zo snel mogelijk van de ene kant van de baan naar de andere kant moet komen zonder te vallen. Onderweg zal je …

X-Men Next Dimension

In dit spel matchen de soundeffects niet met wat er werkelijk op scherm gebeurt. zo krijg je kwa audio geen feedback of je met een zwaard of met vuisten word …

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

In this video we hear a voice line that is clearly not cut properly, as we can hear the voice actress ask to do the line again, followed by the …

PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS

While this game has some very realistic sounds, one effect is a bit out of place; when reloading a shotgun, the shell hitting the floor can be heard up to …

Fable 2

Fabel 2 is one of my favourite games ever. The world and the characters are amazing. Looking back at it now there is one thing that bugs me a lot. …

Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

As you walk past NPCs during one of your many adventures you often encounter a guard or general NPC repeating a voice line. After some time this becomes annoying and …

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Navi never was anyone’s favourite companion to begin with, endlessly bugging the player with information they’ve probably already heard before. In a game that’s otherwise filled with captivating audio, her …

Overwatch

When reaper teleports from one spot to another he shouts a voiceline, this voiceline can be heard from far away. So when reapers tries to be sneaky by teleporting above/behind …

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMB9zKgR5f0 The ‘ugly’ part begins at around 4:41. Don’t get me wrong, the music is beautiful and the scene before it very powerful: your faithful companion is slowly dying, and …

Final Fantasy XIII

The running and walking “clop, clop, clop” sound is very distracting, since it’s too loud and sometimes too high pitched. This seems to be the only sound competing with the …

Ziggurat

The jumping sound in Ziggurat is extremely repetitive and dull. Even though each character has one or two small variations of their default “whuh”, there isn’t enough variation and as …

Rust Legacy

The original Rust`s bear sounds where just a pitched down version of the ( already bad ) wolf sound effect.

Kingdom Hearts

Traverse town is a world the player will keep returning to over and over again. Its theme, the one that is played when not fighting, is soothing and relaxing, it’s …

The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings

The heartbeat background sound effect is the reason I usually try to avoid drinking Cat Potions in the Witcher 2. It is a somewhat annoying sound that can drown out …

Dark Souls 2

The death scream of the female character in Dark Souls 2 sounds so odd, it almost made me laugh the first time I heard it.

ROSE online

Most sounds in this MMORPG are static. This is very evident when certain skills are used consecutively and rapid (when fighting for example).

Astra iOS

Beautifull and nice game, yet the chaotic and dissonant soundtrack is very annoying and distracting.

Gta Vice city – Ipad

Classic game implementation for an i-pad, just the placing of sounds in a 3-D world is quite cumbersome, and the loops of some engines are a bit annoying.

Deer Hunter Classic

The final mix is terrible, too heavy on mid-low’s. No round robin. Everything is loud, no natural atmospherics.
