I don't know if there's a name for this, but there's this weird motif in songs that makes it feel like the end of the world, or at least a fight to stop it or something. The songs aren't always good but I can't put my finger on what makes me like it so much. Someone who actually knows how to music give me a hand here.

I once replayed STALKER on datura for what my roommate states was 10 hours straight in 2008, what I can remember indicate that it was both the most beautiful and horrifying gaming experience of my life, and my ATI Tray Tools screenshots folder had hit 2 gigs with all sorts of random shit. I had maybe 100 screenshots of Sidorovich for some reason, and a lot of especially-parallaxed bricks, and when I restarted my save sober, I was in the bandit camp in Garbage by the trains with the entire place slaughtered

>>343879612
truth is that game's final boss is literally every trope you find in these kind of threads but nobody ever admits it

Nah loads of anons have pointed it out. Undertale is literally a trope-game. It takes loads of cliche's, norms, and tropes and mish-mashes it all into a game.Still a 7-8/10.
I REALLY like it when boss music is sad.

>>343877279
I know exactly what you mean. I can't give you an educated answer, since I haven't studied music, but I think it's because the songs somehow create a feeling of desperation and determination by being as intense as they are. Part if it is probably also the context in which they appear, which is usually a final boss fight or some other emotionally-charged event. You're already pumped up by the circumstances, and the music intensifies that.
>>343879812
I did most of the genocide run, it's just that by the time I got to the spoopmeister I was getting sick of it because most of it was made to be deliberately not fun anyway. Undyne was a good fight too, then Sans comes along and it's "oh yeah, you're gonna to die to this the first time you see it no matter what" up the ass. I did the other two runs already so I just left it at that and looked up the "ending".
>>343879812
>mfw played pacifist and once and never touched it again
best game I've never play again
>>343879796
I don't know, it's something about the specific pitches/chords or some shit. It gives me a mental image of the protagonist and the villain fighting a tug-of-war battle to the death.
Like, you know, that really cliche anime/Harry Potter thing where the hero and the bad guy are shooting lasers at each other, and the beam pushes back and forth as they're both struggling against each other, or like in Jojo's where Dio drops the steamroller on Jotaro and they're throwing punches rapid fire to kill/not die respectively? Like that. In the Sonic Rush one, it literally IS that scenario with your character and the other playable character slamming into each other DBZ-style, and you're button mashing to not get thrown off a cliff.

I don't even care if I can't understand the words. Actually, I prefer it. The words would just get in the way of the raw emotion in music like that. Knowing the words would ruin it.

I get the same way about some non-vidya songs, too. Any song can do it. Again, I'm not educated on this, but there are just certain sounds and rhythms that just feel dramatic and emotional, for reasons I can't really describe. I actually like a lot of techno/club/dance music, because it tends to feel that way as well. It's also the reason I like choirs where I don't actually know the words - because it's just full of raw emotion.

This is kind of like that. The lyrics deal with a legend in the game's world that gets mentioned a lot, and your team starts to personify it over the course of the game.

Dark caves. Was just playing the Solus Project, after buying it the sale, and I just did the first cave with some shitty little light crystal that barely lit up a few feet ahead of me. Had goosebumps the entire way through.
Mostly because it reminded me of the mission in The Secret World where you have to go through a mine full of monsters with a miner's helmet on, and while I was doing it the helmet's battery ran out and I was stuck navigating my way through a pitch black cave by the glowing eyes of the Filth monsters. It was fun, but really fucking terrifying.

That fucker somehow had the power to not only destroy the planets, but do it multiple times in the same fight.
I fucking love when devs time the music to a boss fight, whether it be moves or phases, usually adding lyrics in when shit gets real.

>>343880280
Same here.
The weirdest thing is,I don't even feel compelled to play it again. It was such a complete experience, I don't need to enjoy it again.
But heyI'll probably want to relive it again in a few months.
>>343892336
EXACTLY. EXACTLY THIS. I actually watched the fight itself, not just the music.
It was the contrast between the nature of the boss (zombie berserker Zeus with giant flaming sword) and the music (sad, slow, piano) that made me say "There's something special going on here. I need to play this".
In retrospect, It's a shame I spoiled Gwyn for myself, but I might never have played the game otherwise, so I consider it worth it.
Characters theme and Villains theme combine.
