Topic: Favorite Video Game Music

I'm currently listening to the Dark Souls OST on Youtube. Anyone else here besides @nessisonett and myself a fan of the compositions that lie therein? @nessisonett ,didn't you reckon that half the battle against O&S consists of refusing to be intimidated by their theme?

Just thought I'd post a random Ys VIII track. Awesome OST for an awesome game!

Healing-D-Vision by DE-STRAD aka Naoki Maeda from DDR SuperNOVA

Just seen this thread and it's a topic I'm particularly passionate about. I see a lot of hipster/retro love but my tastes are a tad more obvious.

😉

A lot of love for a number of game scores but there are three games I've played this year that left a big impression on me for a number of reasons including brilliant soundtracks.

Persona 5 and my favourite track of all. I dare you to listen to this and NOT end up bopping your head along with the music!

Death Stranding is next and this is chock-full of some incredibly beautiful and atmospheric music. The main score is definitely worth a listen but it's the tracks from Low Roar that had the biggest impact on me in particular this one.

Then there's The Last of Us Part II. Some wonderful stuff from Mac Quayle but this is one of the best.

And then there's this haunting piece from the master that is Gustavo Santaolalla.

The single best Persona battle theme period. In terms of MegaTen as a whole it's only bested by Battle B2 from SMT IV and Fierce Battle from Nocturne in my eyes. So happy that they remixed this and the Revelations battle music for P5's costume DLC and Scramble.

@TheFrenchiestFry There’s a severe lack of BABY BABY BABY BABY

@nessisonett I like the P3-5 battle themes but honestly moreso in isolation considering how extremely catchy they are. P2's battle themes feel more streamlined and suitable as actual battle music

The Whistle Song (Blow My Whistle Baby) from DDR MAX 2 PS2 USA.

This cover of Chippin' In from the 2018 gameplay version of Cyberpunk 2077 is great. I think it's a much better song than the Refused one.

My favorite Para Para Paradise song when the arcade machine was still exist long time ago.
It has very enjoyable arrow chart that i oftenly improvized my arms to move in creative directions.
Fortunately, i still able to play this song again on PS2 with Para Para Paradise controller. (video taken from other player's gameplay)

Had to share some of my favourite tracks from Yakuza 0 so far as it has quite a nice variety of styles.

One eyed Slugger (Majima's Slugger style theme) I think has a rule of three in it to go with the whole baseball (bat) theme of the fighting style? It's a pretty cool sounding dubstep track regardless.

Pledge Of Demon Kuze's boss theme is a rock (& techno I think? (I'm terrible at music genres)) track. It's pretty perfect to set the tone of the boss fight, especially the second time you face the character with the absolutely insane/badass intro.

I got to the Caberet club Minigame and... Goddamn this song popping up on the makeover section. It feels like a such a guilty pleasure listening to this but it's so good. I've listened to it far too many times

this intro from the original PlayStation game Soul Blade (Soul Edge in the U.S.) from 1997

it still blows me away 24 years later!, otherwise the soundtracks from Spiderman (2018) and Spiderman Miles Morales!

@RogerRoger I loved the main menu theme the first few times I heard it. I now find it insanely repetitive which is a shame as it’s a great track.

@RogerRoger Silent Assassin’s theme is indeed fantastic. Plus Ave Maria always brings back memories of Blood Money! 47 Attacks from Blood Money reminds me of how bad I was at the game when I was younger as I used to hear it constantly on account of me being caught 😂

@RogerRoger Each Steam sale they go for pennies. Contracts is actually the only one I haven’t played so I’m definitely picking it up next sale!

I love the main theme for Lost Odyssey. I got stuck on the game for a while and almost gave up on it, but every time I heard this piece of music it reminded me why I loved the game and I ended up not only finishing it, but doing all the side content too.

this is a banger , short & sweet instrumental with a amazing beat . this is probably my most fav video game tune of all time .

edit - and its from one of the best SF games

@RogerRoger yeah they have ; some better than others though . this particular character's theme hasn't been topped yet by later remixes in later games , in my opinion.

@nomither6 The Street Fighter III soundtrack is an absolute banger. Almost every track on that is just brilliant.
