>"videogame music is ba-"

[Ryan King]

video game music can be great, it's the games themselves that are garbage.

[Dylan Richardson]

You probably don't even know the type of music on most Persona games is Acid Jazz.
The engrish lyrics from the early games sounds retarded.

Is there any non vidya music that sounds like this?

I don't mean any fedora tipping symphonic metal trash, I mean "scary" Baroque stuff that's heavy.

[Anthony Walker]

If you removed the vocals from a Moi Dix Mois song it would sound like that.

A RIVER IN A DRYYY LAND

But seriously, video game music is just alright and only rarely phenomenal. It's either usually attached to a garbage ass game or the songs themselves really aren't that special.

NieR's OST is god tier, though.

There are all kinds of good vidya soundtracks out there. Indie game OSTs are the most exciting to me; Undertale, Hotline Miami 1&2, Super Meat Boy, Shovel Knight, Fez, and many more are all great

[Andrew Nguyen]

This OST is perfect for the hype it creates in-game

[Jonathan Flores]

I want to play this game again to be with Makoto one more time but it's so long and draining

[Angel Martin]

seeing as I'm on the weeb capital of the internet, pretty easily

that anons wrong though western games are pretty fun so long as you don't care about the story and just want something fun

[Adam Kelly]

this is one of the only game OSTs that stands up as a legitimately great example of its genre completely independent of the source material

[David Reed]

Final Fantasy music is pretty guud

[Aiden Ramirez]

One of the best vidya I've ever played and also with a perfect OST that combines perfectly with the dark, scary and gothic environment of the game.

also this

[Gavin Phillips]

I actually did know that it's Acid Jazz, and it's actually just P5, P1 and P2 had a very generic soundtrack (doesn't mean it was bad) that was in line with previous SMT titles, the Persona titles didn't start getting a unique identity until P3.

And P3 nor P4 are acid jazz, P3 is almost entirely hip hop and R&B and P4 is mostly pop with some alternative tendencies

[Kayden Sanchez]

Metroid Prime OST is one of the greatest 2000s electronic albums

[Tyler Ortiz]

Do you have a DL link? Never played it but I'm curious.

[Liam Jenkins]

Pretty sure you'll get it just by searching download metroid prime OST.

I personally like MP2 more youtube.com/watch?v=T7uZf4uiMN8

[Luis Sullivan]

d.

[Nathan Hughes]

Only Persona 5 has acid jazz, don't try to be a smartass without knowing your facts.

And yeah the engrish is kind of off-putting. I just realized a few days ago that Last Surprise has a lot of words from previous phrases sticking out to the next ones, like there's a part that says "you its not quite what you foretold" and it turns out the "you" actually belongs to the previous phrase, "all around you"

[Michael Martinez]

Bloodborne ost doesn't work outside the game.

[Luke Parker]

Not that guy you're quoting, but out of the two main producers of video games, the Japanese are far more experimental in what they do. America plays it way too safe with the Hollywood style orchestras in almost every AAA game they come out with, where as Japan will go fucking bonkers with some crazy orchestral tripfunk fusion soundtrack, they'll dabble in haunting background vocals as part of the melody etc.

One of my all time favourite OSTs from a series is Armored Core. From Software fucking blows my mind with every game.

my man, that OST is solid. the thing is that unlike a lot of vidya-composers soichi terada does have a career in music outside just game soundtracks

>Nascent requiem

Am I the only one who actually hates that track? It's amazing up until 1:12 mark, after that the song takes an immediate dive to the lowest point of what someone could consider "quality", it honestly feels as if the composers simply DROPPED the song at that point and let some assistant or janitor "finish it" [spoiler] or maybe they composed it around the fact the devs intended you to beat the final boss in 25 seconds [/spoiler]

Best track in the OST for me: youtube.com/watch?v=jLbULEiuFgo

this is still the absolute GOAT final boss theme imo, the slow build-up is great and I was lucky enough to match the climax of the fight with the climax of the song perfectly on my first try through and I almost literally came

Really fires my almonds.

Also, does anybody like singing in completely fictional languages? I love that shit. Former is entirely made up, the latter is a complete mixture of Finnish and Japanese to create a new language.

[Jose Cook]

The perfect combination of memorable yet ambient.

I'll probably get flak for it, but classic sonic has some amazing jams and are easily the best soundtracks for the genesis.
I recently found out that sonic CD's JP OST is on spotify and probably the best ost for any sonic game. some highlights:

my favorite version of brinstar:

Machinarium has some great ambience in the OST with its strange kinda soundscape, using analoguey sounds to match the very european-feeling robot city that the game takes place in.

[Jose James]

Portal 2 has some good tracks , though they do work a lot better in game.

There's some energetic glitchy tracks:

As well as a lot of philip glass-esque tracks:

If it's anything like the other persona soundtracks, it's garbage.
>muh shitty j-pop is good

[William Gomez]

this will probably sound autistic as fuck but does anyone ever dub video game intros over with other music to see how it fits? I did this with the P4 intro and was pleasantly surprised

>western videogame music is ba-
IT AIN'T ME

[Jose Ramirez]

My NIGGA

Machinarium is such a delightful, sweet little game, the art and music direction is fucking fantastic. Very good taste, I never see it talked about. I still need to buckle down and finish Samorost 3, which has the same great art and music that Amanita Studios does with their games

[Kayden Jackson]

He's not wrong.
Western games outside of a few titles like Halo have been really trash with their music.
Most of the time they just try to poorly imitate movie soundtracks meanwhile Japan and the indie scene tends to experiment more.
