I snuck in tht "sometimes" becuase the soundtrack isn't ALL bad, just these songs I've posted, and maybe a few others. I overexaggerated the thread title ^^

The game has quite a few really good songs, but I'd rather have ALL the songs being mediocre than have some being really good and others being bad and ripping me out of my experience.

Again, it's your personal opinion that not all the songs are at least mediocre. Each one you put up I actually quite enjoy, the least of is just fine. There might be others that you find great that I don't really dig. Like the main theme song really doesn't do it for me at all, but it's not that big of a deal. Worst case scenario if I were to really not enjoy the soundtrack I can always turn it down and put my own music on and make sure the subtitles are on.

he's still entitled to that opinion, ffs other than actual numbers most of anything on these forums are based on personal opinion. Personal opinion is open to debate but people are still entitled to say that rap songs in videogames suck. Put it in the opening or in the credits, even a boss fight theme is acceptable but in the gameplay environment it overpowers ambience.

Absolutely he is. Just as I am, or you are, however the point where we say it is fact is when it goes too far. I mean, he of course could say he doesn't like the soundtrack and that it sucks, that's fine as long as it isn't stated as if it isn't opinion based. I get that many don't like putting "IMO" or "in my opinion" as for some reason it seems to be viewed as being less important, but it is still what it is. Of course there is also the insinuation that since someone has posted something online that it is almost always based on opinion unless it's stated as factual lol. The problem is when there is an argument stating that someones opinion is more important than anothers as opposed to someone saying, 'that's your opinion' the reply should be something along the lines of 'yup, it is'. Not to mention he undermines his own statement with "at least some times" as oppposed to 'Some of the music in XCX sucks' as the full title. 

It might overpower the ambience for some, but not for others, likely relating to how comfortable someone is with rap in general. Same sort of thing with operatic music that is often in JRPG's, it doesn't do it for everyone however it seems to be more accepted now because it has become the norm. Same goes for orchestral.
