Not gonna lie, Gustavo Santaolalla's score really contributes to the success and atmosphere of the game.
It's also really well made on its own.

Landon White

Also Stardew, Ori and the blind forest,
Ian Price
Liked the music, art direction and story in this more than in Bastion. Still prefer the gameplay in Bastion though
Parker Lewis
I haven't played bastion but that's how I've heard it goes, Bastion for gameplay, Transistor for artsy part of game
Anthony Gray
Patrician. Katamari's OST reminds me of Dots and Loops by Stereolab.
Never played.
Disappointing desu.
Logan Flores
or Golden Sun
Samuel Davis
the patricians choice
David Morris
Aww shit, my favorite topic.
This one's underrated as fuck so it gets my top vote.
Evan Robinson
underrated soundtrack for and underrated game
Grayson Rogers
Dammit. Beat me to it
Kevin Hill
You know the deal, you see it, you install it.
Chase Baker
Paul Romero's a fucking genius but he looks and acts a bit creepy (he might even see this so no offense).
Mason Edwards
Personally love this games soundtrack.
Henry Gomez
Cinematic music doesn't have to sound boring and nondescript, which is a common stereotype of cinematic music.

Ape Escape.
Eli Martinez
Since we already have Morrowind here's some love for Oblivion and Skyrim.
Robert Howard
>He has never played, Fable, Bully and fucking Half Life
Explain this
Brayden Torres

I'm fucking broke and cheap.
Andrew Sanchez
King of Fighters 98 and 99 are also great but '99 gets my special mention.
Josiah Thompson
GREAT soundtrack. every battle theme is just great
I don't actually hate all cinematic music. I used quotation marks cause I'm talking about that kind of movie/reality tv show OST type of like "feel this emotion right now" music, and I think people know what I"m talking about when I write 'cinematic' like that. also I don't think all movies have bad OSTs obviously, but you know what kind of OST I mean.
I like the Ni no Kuni soundtrack and love the Morrowind soundtrack and the Dragon Quest soundtracks (though DQ sort of blurs the line between 'songy' and cinematic, with entries games leaning more towards one.)
Colton Gonzalez
I mean, i can understand Bloodborne and other titles, but you can run the games i mentioned in a potato
Oliver Thompson
Meant for
James Murphy
So you mean generic movie music that doesn't do anything except provide emotional cues and fill up the silence?
Jonathan Reed
And finally, here's for the best game ever released. Thanks Siren you magnificent beast.
Bentley Brown
Transistor is a fantastic experience, but not a great gameplay experience.
Aaron Clark
I might pirate them soon actually.
Colton Reed
Fucking this. A million times, fucking this. Trent Reznor wrote and performed the soundtrack. The ammo boxes for the nail guns even had NIN on them!
Cool thing: the game disc was also a CD you could play in your regular CD player in your house or car. This was fucking HUGE back in 1996.
Jacob Ross
Music that lets you know when you're supposed to feel tense or suspenseful or whatever.
"emotionally dishonest" music.
disclaimer: i do not hate GY!BE
Nicholas Martinez
Perfect Dark sound track is pretty good
Asher Thomas
But that's how movie music normally works.
Luke Lewis
Bloodborne is japanese you dumb weeb
Christian Butler
yeah I dislike most of it
Oliver Torres
That's literally the point of soundtracks though. Maybe you're just confusing it with bad composition?
Julian Thomas
wasn't directed at bloodborne you illiterate person
Jace Campbell
>this autistic respond to the whole thread shit
fuck off
Christopher Lee
Then what is music supposed to do? Not match the tone of the scene, but also avoid giving an ironic impression because that might be manipulative too?
Oliver Nguyen
Hyper light drifter and endless legend both have cool soundtracks
Christopher Turner
I've heard HLD and Furi both have great synthwave soundtracks.
Benjamin Perry
>post yfw this started
youtu.be
Nathan Barnes
Soundtracks are supposed to set the tone of a film/videogame, if they can't do that, then what is the fucking point of having music in your videogame/film in the first place?
Either you're autistic or you've seen some really terrible films
Landon Torres
well most of the movies I like are musicals. maybe it just bothers me when music is used to insert an emotion into a scene. I feel like in movies like Wizard of Oz and Pinocchio it doesn't really do that sort of thing.
Wyatt Davis
you're kidding.
>happy song about walking along a road
I wonder what emotion
Owen Smith
How is setting the tone of a scene different from setting the emotion of a scene? And do you realize that calling someone autistic is an admission that you are wrong?
Carter Stewart
this and pic related still blow my fucking mind every time
Matthew Lee
This, grizzly hills music
Gavin Parker
Having a soundtrack that is consistent with the tone isn't equivalent to what I'm talking about.
yes endless legend and endless space both have great soundtracks
ok to be fair I might just be autistic, but I swear to god that's so fuckign different. like having a specific SONG that's all happy and it's consistent with the tone is one thing, one of the characters drops a plot twist line of dialogue and the violins screech or something is different idk.
Jacob Powell
>How is setting the tone of a scene different from setting the emotion of a scene?
There isn't much of a difference really.
And you just made me realize that i replied to the wrong guy, that post was for
Leo Young
Samuel Cook
>like having a specific SONG that's all happy and it's consistent with the tone is one thing, one of the characters drops a plot twist line of dialogue and the violins screech or something is different idk.
I can see what you mean now, and this stuff mostly happens in bad films, perhaps you need to see more films with a good use of music? Maybe if you drop off an example or two?
John Torres
thinking about it, I think a good way to describe it is scenes and insertions. like if you have a sad, uplifting, scary, whatever scene and there's a track playing that fits that mood, cool. but like if it's like changing to match each beat of the action or dialogue that bugs me I suppose. but also, even if it IS the former, often it's just so bland, canned, stock, if you know what I mean? happens so much with video game OSTs these days, whereas the 'songy' OSTs are consistently much better, but I guess that's because they don't have much of a choice. songy OSTs have to be good, whereas cinematic OSTs can just be background furniture music.
Jordan Lewis
Creepy and awesome fun.
Juan Brooks
>but like if it's like changing to match each beat of the action or dialogue that bugs me I suppose
Oh yeah, this is when it feels forced and when they try to manipulate the audience/player, bad use of music
>even if it IS the former, often it's just so bland, canned, stock, if you know what I mean? happens so much with video game OSTs these days
I can see where you're coming from now, i mostly stick to old games because of my toaster, but i do see that some of the soundtracks for new games feel like something out of a royalty free music website, though this doesn't apply to every film/videogame that comes out nowadays
Matthew Fisher
Not a soundtrack as such but the tracks included worked perfectly.
Leo Ortiz
Pretty bland game but the soundtrack is nice
Samuel Long
Anyone else played this? Fantastic soundtrack
Brody Hall
Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet. This and to a lesser extent the sequel are some of the only vidya to use the Outrun style to their advantage, rather than just as nostalgia bait
CAST OFF THE CRUTCH THAT KILLS THE PAIN
Ryan Flores
LAY AWAYKEE
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT
it was a simpler time
Logan Sullivan
Could not agree more, not the kind of music I would really listen to but with the game its perfect, vague feelings of nostalgia.
Kayden Gonzalez
ITT: mostly shitty soundtracks.
A good soundtrack is one that works together with the game.
If you listen to it by itself with no knowledge of the game and enjoy it, it's probably a shitty soundtrack.
Joshua Mitchell
Looks like a cool guy to me
youtube.com
Dylan Jones
What if it works well with the game and you can also enjoy it without the game? Like the Hotline Miami one?
Bentley Adams
>probably
David Long
Samuel Diaz
excellent choice, friendo
Christopher Ross
Unironically undertale
fanbase is cancer but I dare you to tell me this shit doesn't go hard
Austin Scott
all great games/osts
Nolan Miller
but megalovania isn't from undertale
the fashion robit's theme was cool tho
Juan Parker
that game is so bad
that soundtrack is just weak ass second wave post rock like trans am
bastion's soundtrack was better
Christian Reed
hotline miami's soundtrack wasn't original so it doesn't count
noone has posted Phantom Dust's soundtrack so
youtube.com
Christopher Rodriguez
Megalovania was in the Earthbound halloween hack and in Homestuck, not just Undertale. Basically just a Toby Fox song.
Zachary Myers
I completely agree with you
I think I realized just how lazy it was when I was rewatching Hook as a 20 year old
using music to "heighten" a scene seems like weak direction, so often it's distracting and over the top or just clichéd or comical and it leads to a lot of uninteresting music
also it feels like a crutch for something that would otherwise be bad
if a scene can't stand up without music then it's not good and if it can then why bother shoe horning another medium in
Christian Edwards
fuck yes
Thomas Russell
And also GTA V has a good OST.
Ryan Adams
half that soundtrack is garbage and the rest is fun
it's super clear that he picked up music composition for the game tho
lots of FL presets being used
