There are a lot of video games with great music, but not a lot of great video game soundtracks if that makes sense.

Not many soundtracks that you could listen to on their own from start to finish on top of my head.

Fallout 2, Grim Fandango, Unreal Tournament and the Tropico soundtracks

These are great, katamari is God-tier as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a pokemonfag but the gold/silver soundtrack is really good.

Diablo 2 Soundtrack is top

Yeah
Maybe, seems very tedious though

No

>>52901243
What do you mean "no"?
I listen to these soundtracks regularly. In the case of Bastion, I even downloaded the soundtrack before playing the game.

>>52899606
Quake
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (dat orchestral writing)
Super Metroid and Warcraft II for retro
Metroid Prime for modern synth and production goodness
Oblivion and Morrowind had great scores, I'd happily listen to the Oblivion exploration soundtrack on its own.

nobuo uematsu

Kentucky Route Zero OSTs are GOAT

Gen X on saints row 1. Could just be me, but I enjoyed most of the tracks on that station

>>52901277

I am saying that I couldn't picture myself listening to these outside of the game.

>>52899606
I love Amon Tobin's Chaos Theory OST and Jesper Kyd's Hitman and Freedom Fighters OSTs
Both can create amazing ambiance during hard missions

>>52901393
Oh
Why couldn't you just say "I'm a pleb", that would have been shorter

why would you ever want to listen to video game music when you can just listen to classical?

>>52901444
Not all video game music is orchestral.

I don't get it. Are you saying I am a pleb for not listening to the soundtrack of mediocre video games instead of real music?

>>52901538
Yes yes yes

Donkey Kong Country 2
Max Payne 3
Silent Hill 3
NeoTokyo
Armored Core 4
Ape Escape if youre into drum n bass

>>52901576

First 2 games have way superior OSTs

>>52901564
You are a pleb for thinking a soundtrack isn't real music. You are also a pleb for not liking the things I like.

>>52901576
>tfw the Neotokyo Appendix is almost better than the soundtrack itself

>>52899606
So apart from The National or Poets of the Fall, what other bands have written songs specifically for video games?

True.

Actually they do.

You are right though.

Actually, Shattered Memories as in it's a remake, so they shatter your memory of the original game

and another meaning that's a spoiler

Persona 3 had a god tier OST, and all the incarnations just added to it

So good. AC definitely has the best soundtracks out there.

My favorite from the series might be this one.

Sunrise is my favorite album though.

I prefer people don't listen to what I listen to.

The Bastion soundtrack is phenomenal. I played Transistor a few weeks ago and it was also phenomenal, Supergiant are on some next level shit.

Anyway, has anyone played Stubbs the Zombie? The game itself is pretty rad (though kind of clunky to control) but the soundtrack is the best thing about it IMO. It's all covers of songs from the 50s by indie bands.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLK4eorLDBw

i posted this in an earlier thread but

Nier, Chrono Cross, Shadow Hearts 1, Katamari Damacy, Kingdom Hearts, Okami, Darius Gaiden, DKC2, Shadow of the Colossus, Guilty Gear XX, Mighty Switch Force, Dustforce, Baten Kaitos, and most of the Touhou games

Wow, no mention of Streets of Rage 2?

Also, Batman and Robin on Genesis had some good shit. Featuring Jesper Kyd before he went on to make movie-type video game music that appears in "1 hour epic music" playlists.

If you can look past the length, then be ready for a sprawling epic of 60's spy-action soundtrack pieces mixed with breakbeat and ambient techno, all while keeping emotion at the forefront. Perfection by vidya standards.

>>52901146
muh nigga

NIER's and Drakengard 3 OSTs are great

>>52906967
hell yesss

i also like the Drakengard 1 and 2 OSTs. D1 in particular is one of the most unusual and experimental game soundtracks in existence.

>>52906633
LOOOOST IN A DREEEEAAAM
SNAAAAKE EEAAAATAAAAARRR

>>52906633
My nigga.

Also, my personal favs:

DuckTales
Super Mario Galaxy 1&2
Sonic Adventure 2
Mother 3
Yoshi's Island
Mario Kart 64
Shadow of The Colossus
Scott Pilgrim
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Hotline Miami
Rayman Origins
Banjo-Kazooie
GTA San Andreas/IV/V
Touhou 8
Star Fox 64

Most of what Hideki Naganuma does is fantastic. See Jet Set Radio, Jet Set Radio Future and Sonic Rush for some good examples.

Killer 7 soundtrack is all you need

Live-A-Live soundtrack is topnotch

Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Doom
Final Fantasy X-2
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Mario Kart 8
Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire
Road Rash 3: Tour De Force
Streets of Rage
Super Castlevania IV
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Monkey Ball
Super Monkey Ball 2

Hotline Miami's soundtrack perfectly fits the game. Just play the game and see, it's honestly pretty amazing.

Rare stuff from the 90's either had really great music, or just makes me nostalgic. Hearing any of the music from those games brings the biggest smile to my face.

The soundtrack to MadWorld and Anarchy Reigns

>>52908087
>no skate or tony hawk games
wew

>Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire
GOAT

>>52906516
woah woah woah, that shit is only good in the context of slicing up cyborgs, outside of that, no. but in the game, it's immaculate

>>52910914
I say both of these because its the same group of rappers on both albums.


With a special song by Dilated People at the end of Anarchy Reigns

The problem is autistic subhuman /v/ faggots overrate these to the point they consider these to be better than real music

No, you retard, you don't like the soundtrack, you like a few select songs from the soundtrack, that's not the same thing as saying the whole thing is good

Any album that only has two or three good songs out of twenty or thirty would be trash

>>52911268
>better than real music

...and vgm isn't real music?
anyways pretty much the whole nier soundtrack is good, so there

>>52902344
so much this, easily my favorite video game soundtrack
