GameElite™ Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Not as good as last years imo. Glad to see Twenty One Pilots are back though. I am surprised we didn't get "Watch This" by Will Roush considering CFO$ helped make it. Quote
jeb2830 Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 They missed out on choosing Stressed Out, but I'm also glad T.O.P. is back this year 1 Quote
Cerb Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 They should add in a bunch of previous PPV themes imo like the older games, but this soundtrack looks solid. I'm glad it's not as focused on rock and is way more diverse this year. Quote
C-Squared Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I need to give all of this a good hear before I judge but it doesn't look bad at all. I'm extremely surprised they got the theme song from Payback this year. Quote
HitNic Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Liking the songs, just wish we could at least use them for caws ... (i miss the custom songs ability ...) Quote
Ticaliano Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Nice to see 2K prioritizing their focus on the issues that matter most. 2 Quote
