why are gamers such bigoted underage pieces of shit? also they're furries.
and how does shit like this remain up and i get my reviews unpublished.

undertale was mediocre and the soundtrack was mediocre too
Obligatory NeoTokyo OST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=408tWOubRDM
(If you don't have time for the full album, listen to Nimbus).
And also obligatory Jet Set Radio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGA4PilHdr0
Prefer the original slightly more than Future, but they're both excellent soundtracks. Hideki Naganuma in general is one of the greatest VGM composers out there, shame he's not doing much nowadays apart from interacting with fans on Twitter (and doing sound design on the Yakuza series, I think?).
>>61019238
I think there are much better songs in that franchise. Personally I love Shrouding Dark Cloud and Hazardous Highway. But generally it's pretty great.
>>61019190
Haven't played Nier but that seems pretty good. Is the actual game any good?
>>61019119
Just awesome.
Video game soundtracks are great
NieR and Final Fantasy VI both have phenomenal soundtracks imo

I thought it was great. It's only an hour(ish) of gameplay so you can't go wrong. If you like rpgs and no wave I'd play it for sure.

Dont know many games with good soundtracks but the professor layton, pokemon mystery dungeon, and kingdom hearts series has some good stuff.
The Professor Layton series in particular has by far, in my opinion, definitely one of the best sountracks for games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVjLYx8GIz0
>>61018699
my ex really likes the undertale soundtrack and i dont want to listen to it because of that im so turned off by undertale for completely petty reasons
Sonic Rush Adventure
how tf has this not been posted yet
Literally the greatest OST of all time
Hotline Miami
All the Silent Hill soundtracks are 10/10, but 3's was one of the best for sure.

Have you ever listened to Datum by Musette?
>>61021192
eh, deal with it
I didn't like it
almost bought into the hype, but I was lying to myself
I found it to be mediocre
>>61021723
considering that I've put tens of thousands of hours into Minecraft,, i honestly can't stand the soundtrack
>>61021170
No.
Enemy Zero has a soundtrack by Michael Nyman himself. Very left-field for its genre, entirely unprecedented and without successor in video games. Too bad it's barely playable.
https://youtu.be/twdma6QXisY
>>61018699
Anything Guilty Gear.
>>61018836
Yes
>>61021237
This as well
Pathologic mixes a distinctively Eastern European cabaret sound with a (also distinctively Eastern European, though less so) dark ambient sound. Fits the game nicely. It's also barely playable, but there's a remake coming out by the end of 2016. I'm hyped.
https://youtu.be/ao91HN1dZWk
god videogames suck
>>61021192
its really not that good a game. its really predictable. The game is fairly low quality in every aspect, especially the story which just panders to the lowest common demoninator. that being said, thats how you make the most money so i applaud the devs for taking advantage of stupid people so they dont have the money to bother me in my games.
>>61021823
I hate it when it comes at the wrong moments, but when its at the perfect time its one of my favourites.
Armored Core's various tracks give me a boner. Kota Hoshino deserved more respect.
Jeremy Soule, too. He did Oblivion, Skyrim, Guild Wars, and a bunch of other games.

>>61022000
XX music >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Xrd though
If you disagree you are a faggot with shit taste in music and your first fighting game was probably SF4
Hylics had a very distinctive soundtrack. The game was kind of meh though - a surreal experience, but one with not a lot of depth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP0M5yS2maE
The OST is on this guys' channel.
Killer7. not only does it have a diverse soundtrack, hitting tons of genres, but it's a long and great one as well. fantastic game with a fantastic soundtrack.
>>61023723
It sounds like Glenn Branca falling asleep mid-perfomance
isnt undertales music just taken from homestuck.
>>61018836
Madness Returns is great as well. I was initially disappointed that Chris Vrenna didn't make a return to do the whole game since I'm a fan of his music, but the guy who took over really exceeded my expectation. I really love the soundscape stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImCsGctRkyw
>>61023589
X had more interesting versions of character themes than XX, IMO. XX sounded more real, but felt like they tried to make them all be 3 minutes, removing some good bits out of songs.
And Xrd's music is still decent IMO. I kinda like that they did new themes, rather than rehashing the same ones again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZqrG1bdGtg
if it counts
best vidya ost of the year is Axiom Verge in my imo
>>61024716
Agreed, such a good soundtrack. Falling Night Stars and Flawless Theory are probably my favourites.

Yeah hes just another white guilt ridden teenager. You won't get banned for saying "nigger" as long as it's ironic
>>61027057
he's black and actually likes TPAB
he's just kinda salty that Undertale's OST is beating stuff like Garden of Delete, Third Side of Tape, etc
Dropsy was a great game and had a great soundtrack.

Jet set Radio soundtrack is just amazing
Solor Fields is back for the sequel.
So even when the story is somehow worse than the first one was, at least the music will be great.
Im serious, (if you remove the main first track)
>>61028779
pity that in all things it isn't as good as its predecessors
even a lot the soundtrack was just a watered down "epic" bro-movie version of the original brilliant scores
>>61028779
Oblivion was way better. And Im sure the Morrowind fans would argue against that.

>>61029438
Man, I love that song (and Compass) but holy shit the rest of Ashtar Command's stuff is like aggressively boring.
>>61026965
Hotline Miami stated feeling like a rhythm game to me, the music was super hypnotizing.
it has fucking squarepusher, how can you disagree?

Its soundtrack is a perfect blend of Jazz and Techno, evoking a sense of upward movement and urban life. Every track, from the Dave Brubeck-inspired "Central Park Sunday" to the triumphant "Magic City" to the chilling "Illumination" is absolutely gorgeous, and fits perfectly within the context of the game.

Close your eyes and pick a castlevania game
You should pick sotn tho desu
>>61030717
I think you mistyped Super Castlevania IV senpai
Almost all game titles that take themselves seriosly and who are from japan have soundtracks superior than any other.
And when, on a rare occasion, game comes not from the east with a good soundtrack people lose their shit and "fuc ur akira yamaoka m8, toby fox is so mych better OMG" happens. But, they are really on a equal level of awsomness.
>>61018952
...you realize he have the soundtrack 1 star, right? It's very clearly a sarcastic review.

>>61022736
Bumping for Bloodborne. The game is great and the OST is patty as fuck especially if you dig twisted-sounding choral music.
"Hail the Nightmare" is gr8
>>61021130
I dont really take videogames seriously as art, but Ive played a lot and if any soundtrack comes to mind as being totally listenable and great completely on its own it has to be Jet Set Radio. Naganuma makes Nujabes look a shit.
this shit right here
also yukiko = best grill
Maybe it was just me, but I really did like it.

The new game is good, and the music is alright, but I've yet to find anything to top Main Theme and Engage the Enemy. Easily some of my favorite game music. The live versions are pretty cool too.

mostly true, but there are exceptions

>>61030374
goddamn, i got the special edition just because i loved the soundtrack that much. chilling, amazing soundtrack.
>>61021943
holy shit, i'm so glad someone mentioned this, Enemy Zero is a great game, Eno is an overlooked game designer. did you hear how they got Michael Nyman for it? Eno straight up harassed Nyman until he agreed to do it. the man was insane in a great way.
>>61040503
>>61040543
what's the issue with orchestrated soundtracks? the games industry is pretty much the only thing keeping some orchestras and halls afloat.
>>61040543
My point was more that the limitations of producing music for hardware incapable of cd quality audio is really what sets that music apart from soundtracks made fore other media.
Anyway just realized that video skips the opener:
https://youtu.be/XRRmYBDn8xw
>>61030367
i have to agree with this poster.

See >>61040721
But yeah I realize this is more a personal distinction than any kind of standard categorization, in my head it's like chip ost's / all other video game and film ost's despite the OP. That chip stuff is just the archetypical video game music for me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.
