What western game has the best OST?
I think it's pic related.
>>340801562
Mass Effect is good too
>>340801562
The Halo Trilogy's OST is very high up within western games. ODST counts too.
If it counts, Half-Life 2's, especially the episodes also have nice OST's that compliment the game well.
Undertale
>>340801562
I have a tough time choosing between 3, ODST and Reach when it comes to the best music.
Tales from the Borderlands had a great OST too.

Doom.
>>340801562
Agreed
>>340802493
jojofags aregreat
borderlands 2
>dat southern shelf
World of Warcraft.
The music quality keeps on going up, even as the game quality goes down.

Say what you will about the actual game, the soundtrack is one of the best i've listened to
>>340801562
>What western game
why only western games?
And to your answer your question, pretty much any Deus Ex.
Morrowind, World of Warcraft, Beyond Good & Evil.
Posting the best OST of all time. Beats out of this world

Yes.
Does GTA 3 count?
>>340801562
Age of Empires/Mythology series.
>>340801562
fuck yeah, the music in halo rocks. 4 and 5 soundtracks are horse shit though.
songs like covenant dance, farthest outpost and released are way too rad. So simple and clean, you can actually make out what the fuck you're listening to and it has a mood to it! Man I miss martys halo music..
>>340801562
Minecraft and Far cry 3 have some dope ass songs in the game tbqh

I like the one from rising storm/red orchestra 2.

It's a damn shame Destiny's OST wasn't up to standards when compared to Halo.
>>340801562
>the same song over and over again
Skyrim
gameplay and Todd aside. easily one of the best videogame soundtracks i've ever heard.
except for the intro song of course
As a fan of ohgr this is one of my favorites. Full Throttle, Hotline Miami, Bastion, and TF2 are some other good ones.
>>340801562
Metroid Prime
Starcraft and Starcraft BW have amazing music
Hotline miami 2
>>340803782
Wasn't there a lot of internal drama going on at the time he was working on it? I know he was fired, and actually won a lawsuit against Bungie.
Guild Wars 1
>>340802493
I fucking loved both ODST and its OST. It was good for what it was, just over priced. And Firefight was the shit.
>>340803759
>>340803173
WoW's music is still phenomenal
Lake Wintergrasp and the various Tavern Songs are my favorites

Anything Jeremy Soule does
Anything Michael McCann does
Mass Effect 1 and some of 2
Planescape Torment with certain songs (Dionarra)
Witcher 1
>>340803623
Sadly him getting dropped was all on himself, and if I remember actually happened before the switch to 343. There are a lot of articles talking about he had become a giant cunt and was really difficult to work with.
>System Shock 2
>The Dig
>Halo 2
>Deus Ex

Japanese games are on a completely different level. I love Japanese composed music, but I want to try some things out of my comfort zone.

GTA V's OST is actually pretty damn great. I don't mean the licensed radio, the original stuff.
>>340804427
It definitely wasn't all on him, since he won a lawsuit against them.

>>340804496
...I don't really agree with that.
I really hate some of the production values of Japanese soundtracks, namely how, on album, almost every track is made to loop and fade out.
I absolutely hate this. It completely destroys any sense of climax to the music and makes the albums extremely repetitive. You always know how a song will end. Like clockwork.
>>340801562
not sure if this counts or not, since the team that made DR2 is western

Aside from licansed musics, i love Diablo 2's songs

He wasn't going to be a part of Halo 4 and 5 anyway, he worked for Bungie.
>>340804617
Yeah, I know he won the legal side of the suit, but the reason it got to the point was because of his own actions and inability to work well with others "below" him.

Well clearly there were some bigger dicks above him if they tried to break their contract with the guy.
I mean he was one of the earliest people who worked at Bungie, even though he was "just' the audio guy. He did have a level of seniority.
>>340805383
He found the voice of Master Chief
Battle for Dune had a great ost

I wasn't a big fan of the first game but that opening scene definitely stuck with me yeah. And Tales for sure did it just as well if not better. Especially Episode 5.
Fallout 4 actually has a great score. Blizzard can do music right.
If Poland is considered west, Witcher 3.
>>340805742
The radio is shit
they should've copied Fallout 3's and added a few new songs instead of having a bunch of terrible songs and some of Fallout 3's
>>340805872
Score /=/ radio.
>>340801562
atm i think the last ost. love it.
>>340805872
