Why is it that there are only three good game soundtracks, when film has so many great ones of their own?
because you obviously have absolutely no perspective
>>65627653
explain?
Homeworld 2 has an incredible soundtrack
>>65627623
>elder scrolls
>>65627664
you clearly haven't played many games, or a wide variety of games
>>65627717
I've played many games.
My main interests are music and games.
But none of them have competent soundtracks.

>you clearly haven't played many games
thank god for that
>>65627623
I can think of plenty of amazing game soundtracks, but I'm assuming you mean scores? Dark Souls and Shadow Of The Colossus have great scores. Final Fantasy as well.
>>65627883
>Dark Souls
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>SOTC
Can't think of a single great theme.
>Final Fantasy
Mostly midi-shit.
>hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Oh okay so disregard your opinion then. Gotcha.
>>65627623
Games only got around to using real orchestras and instruments in the last 10 years. Film has been doing it since the start.
Plus the game industry started 70 years after the film industry did. Its purely a matter of time.
Soule mostly uses DAW and virtual instruments but does it very well, good composer.
the Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault soundtrack is one of the best imo. Michael Giacchino is a master composer.
Other honorable mentions:
FF VI, VII, and VIII
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Super Metroid, Metroid Prime
Quake (NIN / trent Reznor)
Medieval II: total War
HOMM III
This has been one of my favorites recently:

Symphony of the night really has great music. very baroque inspired.
>>65627623
What is Quake
>what is Civilization
>>65628143
A game that uses music from pre-existing composers.
Grant Kirkhope is an excellent composer. His work on Kingdom of Amalur and Grabbed by the Ghoulies are my favorite ones.

Op is right when he says that The Elder Scrolls has good music, but to be honest, the most memorable songs in all video games is the theme for GTA IV. Soviet Connection, I think it's called. It's very good.
why is morrowind the only elder scrolls with an interesting setting?
what went right
Age of Wonders OST
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR7odrD_Bfg
no one's mentioned guild wars lol
>>65627623

Actually,
BABA YETU BIN BOO EE YA
Nier has an incredible soundtrack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4aRbiTMBUE
Plenty of jrpg's have incredible soundtracks in fact, for example;
>persona 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JulmXSbWF0
>chrono trigger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ejTIgXexyg
Half life 2 has a great soundtrack as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvyswm1UMko
plenty of games have great soundtracks, and just like in movies, the two paired together can mean so much more than just a song, or just a game
both portals, l.a. noire, bioshock, wolfenstein: the new order
>>65627623
>Tekken 5
>Tekken 5 dr
>Little big planet 1 & 2
>final fantasy X
>Silent hill 2
>legend of zelda: the one about the flute
>castlevania 1
This.
>tfw my mom digs the Witcher 3 score
She usually hates most music
>>65627623
It's true that the Elder Scrolls series has amazing soundtracks, but it sure as hell ain't the only games with good soundtrack.
Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura
Spyro the Dragon trilogy
Mass Effect trilogy
Pillars of Eternity
Heavy Rain
L.A Noir
Heavy Rain
Red Dead Redemption
These are just the one I can pick out from the top of my head.
>>65627623
Dragon ball Z Legacy of Goku series
A lot of Pokemon
Transformers Autobots and Decepticons for DS
Hotline Miami
Arguably Minecraft
I liked Terraria's OST
Jet Set Radio of course
>all these bullshit orchestra OST
i bet that you faggots enjoy hans zimmer scores unironically
anyway, superior ost coming through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljyRWgdCsl8
>>65627623
metroid prime has the best game ost
you cant prove me wrong
>>65627623
Anything by Jeremy Soule and the Marty O'Donnell/Michael Salvatori team is god tier
There's many others.
also film is like 4x older than games what is wrong with you
>>65629829
Super Metroid OST> Metroid Prime OST
>>65629154
>Hates based Morrowind
>Likes weebshit
Die
>>65627623
Halo's are god tier. Especially ODST
>>65627623
Skyrim's music was pretty meh-tier. The only memorable song was the remade Morrowind theme.
>>65629800
isn't it straight up Polish folk music?
anyone remember phantasy star iv on sega genesis(or megadrive for us yuropeans)?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvszxdJNvtE
Fucking awesome music in that game.
In general sega genesis has the best damn sounds of any console
>>65630019
shit game
Uncharted 2
>>65629821
seconding this, orchestra-based soundtracks are lifeless. literally stuck in time.
>>65627623
None of these have good soundtracks. III and IV are irrelevant, and V is a dead meme that Bethesda wants to kick around for money.
>>65627623
Skyrim has a competent soundtrack, but goddamn, that battle music gets so grating after a while.
Xenoblade has a very good, varied soundtrack.

I like all the tryhards that try to differentiate themselves from their generation by hating on video games. It's even better when the reason they hate them is their retarded politics.

But Anon I like Videogames
I just don't like /v/ or people who shit up other boards with epicc videogame posts
>>65630588
they're all plebs that only play triple-a games
>>65627623
why does no one ever mention this one?
the whole thing is actually an album in form of game
>He dislikes the rayman 3 soundtrack
>>65627902
>SOTC
>Can't think of a single great theme.
m8 i'd shank ya if ya said that to my face
i remember the crucible scene in mass effect 3 had that wonderful clint mansell track and the stark quiet atmosphere and it all really stood out, making the betrayal by the story a little more bearable.
nier is goat too.
>>65628957
Bethesda cared back then.
>>65630665
The Mass Effect games had fucking great scores throughout
>>65627902
>>SOTC
>Can't think of a single great theme.
I would call you a fag, but.. that's not even faggotry..
that's blasphemy.
>>65630687
this.
>>65628080
MoH:AA had a GOAT soundtrack
>>65628119
This one was also really good (though in a different way)
Also, regardless of how you feel about the game itself, Undertale's soundtrack was pretty awesome.
the best part about this game

I enjoy Mount & Blade's soundtrack more than the game itself

Drakengard series including Nier
No More Heroes 1 & 2
>>65630608
This guy's correct as well
>>65629221
Nier is fucking amazing. Like the gameplay is so fucking garbage but everything else is good enough to make up for it. Love that game.

Ummmm Bioshock has some good music, especially this. The part of the game that it is featured is one of the best moments in the whole thing

>>65627623
But.. But so many Zelda and Mario soundtracks.
Also, Halo 3 ODST had some good tunes, Journey, Entwined, EGTTR, Portal, Silent Hill 1/2/3, MGRR, etc.
>>65629120
nah but good pick tho
>>65627732
you just have bad tastes then, hell the music in oblivion and skyrim isnt even that great.
>>65627623
>only video games that have symphaggot scores are good
all of the tracks in all of those suck
i dont understand how threads about video game music get so far without a mention of any nintendo soundtracks. kondo and totaka are geniuses.
>>65632251
Too bad the game was a 4/10 at best
>>65632494
>not enjoying Mountain Blade
you are a giant faggot

Pretty sure Akira Yamaoka worked on like 7 or 8 Silent Hill games, and that's just one franchise.
>>65628616
Darren Korb is the man.

Outside of Bastion and Transistor, does he do anything else? Solo stuff?
>>65634871
No ;_;
