Simplicityyy Posted July 16, 2017 You can't pick anything from Halo. What are your favorite game musical scores? The don't even have to be favorites either; just notable scores if so. I like Uncharted 4, The Last of Us, Battlefield 1, TR and Rise of the Tomb Raider (Rise > TR), Assassins Creed II, Horizon Zero Dawn (recently won a Jerry Goldsmith Award for Best Original Score. Its amazing.), Skyrim, Oblivion, and Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag (haven't played the whole game). I haven't played Abzu or Firewatch, but those both have great scores (Abzu > Firewach).I'll try adding more when I think of them.Here's more: the two Mirrors Edge games have great atmospheric scores. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
publicbussystem Posted July 16, 2017 They're not necessarily the best, but I get really nostalgic for the old Pokemon chiptunes, with the Gold/Silver soundtrack being my favorite of those. Quote Share this post Link to post
Simplicityyy Posted July 16, 2017 I've never listened to any Pokemon music lul. Cool deal though. Also never have played a Pokemon game. Never been a fan of the brand. Quote Share this post Link to post
Avalynch Posted July 16, 2017 Visual Novels usually have some great music (Nearly every theme in Rewrite is just so damn good). Rocket League, Gravity Rush, and This War of Mine: The Little Ones are also notable. Quote Share this post Link to post

I bought secret of mana years ago and played it for like a few hours and just gave it up. Couldn't figure out how to play 2 players lol :/ I listen to a lot of video game music playlists at work. Its really relaxing. I can recommend some if people are interested Quote Share this post Link to post
Ramirez77 Posted July 19, 2017 Night in the Woods is a recent favorite that I've been listening to a lot. Mostly very mellow piano/guitar/violin/synth(?), but there's some variety outside of that too. The dream sequence songs really stand out from the others in sound and quality, especially. Very emotional stuff overall. Cave Story is another one of my all time favorites, having tons of very upbeat and nostalgic chiptunes but with a few somber tracks as well. "Remastered" version is roughly equal, but skip the "New" 3D version. It's lesser known cousin Kero Blaster also has some good music in that way. Undertale OST is great for the same reason, but it's already been given tons of recognition as is. Pretty much anything Nintendo has ever released has great music so I won't bother mentioning all of those games. Quote Share this post Link to post

Teapot Posted July 22, 2017 So much nostalgia. Loved your list @@Cursed Lemon and I'll check out some of you other guys' recommendations as well. There's many soundtracks I enjoy and obviously Halo is one of them. Two I go out of my way to tell people how good they are is Donkey Kong Country 2 and Perfect Dark. The guy who did Perfect Dark also did Goldeneye, and you'd think he had a ton of time to improve and prepare for Perfect Dark. Apparently though Rare went with another composer and then pretty far into the development life they got Grant back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Kreutz Posted July 25, 2017 I'm most fond of the old school JRPGs. Suikoden I & II and Final Fantasy X are my favorite OSTs. Quote Share this post Link to post
Cursed Lemon Posted July 25, 2017 Not sure how I forgot this track. Quote Share this post Link to post
Arena1999 Posted September 27, 2017 Perfect Dark is the only First-Person Shooter that rivals the first three Halo games and ODST, in terms of music. Here is an example: One of the best tracks out of the entire game. Damn, man, the OST in this game is just so well-composed! The instruments are amazing to listen to, it's alien, and it's good for studying. What make this soundtrack even more amazing is that this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI806teJIT4 Can go from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICb_9jfe9D0 EDIT: Also, this is the best track in any training/practice level of any game, ever. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
FLuFFy Posted September 28, 2017 Holy my nostalgia feels going on in this thread! Here's one for you guys. I used to play the shit out of Super Mario RPG! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Cursed Lemon Posted September 28, 2017 I present to you, the most bi-polar game in history in regard to its soundtrack. You go from this... ...to this. Look, I get that the track is trying to set a mood. But looking around to find a stupid hole in the wall to blow up for two fucking hours with that SHIT on loop is absolutely infuriating.
