These are the best video game soundtracks of all time accord

Id think an Ace Combat or a Metal Gear would be up there.

>>387359984
FFVII does not have a great soundtrack and purely rests on nostalgia similar to the game itself.
DKC2...I just never understood the fucking appeal.
Zelda soundtracks aren't good.

The rest of it is fine.

>>387360036
MGS1 is #60 and the PS2 ones are in the upper half of the 100s
Ace Combat isn't even close to high on there lol

>>387359984
looks like they just copied and pasted their top ten best games ever list

>>387360239
>MGS1 is #60 and the PS2 ones are in the upper half of the 100s
Fucking wrong as shit, MGS2 especially deserves at least the top25 of the list.

Is that list from 2005? Too many nostalgia memes on there to take it seriously, like FF6's soundtrack is not even close to number 2 of all time. Silent Hill 2 probably does belong in the top 10 though.
>>387360360
This. A classic game does not equal a top 10 soundtrack.

>>387360506
I think FF6 is definitely either the best or second-best soundtrack of the series.

>>387360506
The best games ever made have also some of the best soundtracks ever made.A game with bad music cannot be great.

>>387360580
FF8>FF9>FF6>FF7 if we are talking about soundtracks

Well /v/, what are the best video game soundtracks?

>>387360717
I disagree I think the soundtrack implementation in the 2D games is inherently better due to the more basic presentation of the story.
Part of it I think is the soundfonts in 8 and 9 weren't totally up to snuff whereas the more basic soundfonts for say IV and VI were more in tune with the game

>>387359984

Shit list desu

>No Falcom games on the list

Nostalgia: the tier list. FFVIII deserves to be on that list over IX and probably over all the other FF's. Everything else needs to get taken off, Zelda has like three decent tracks that have gotten rerecorded ad nauseam through the entire franchise.

Honestly skimmed through the first page and it seems to be a video game popularity contest rather than an actual quality contest. Surprised Hotline isn't there.

11. Xenogears
12. Shadow of the Colossus
13. DKC1
14. FFVIII
15. Katamari Damacy
16. Symphony of the Night
17. Jet Set Radio Future
18. Nier
19. Fallout 1
20. Morrowind
21. Fallout 2
22. Diablo 2
23. FFX
24. Xenoblade
25. Streets of Rage
26. Mario Galaxy 1
27. Pokemon RBY
28. Silent Hill 3
29. Jet Set Radio
30. Neverhood
31. Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses
32. Yoshi's Island
33. Metroid Prime & Fusion
34. Deus Ex
35. Neotokyo
36. Streets of Rage 1
37. Kingdom Hearts 2
38. Ridge Racer Type 4
39. Heroes of Might and Magic 4
40. Skyrim
41. Grim Fandango
42. Oblivion
43. Silent Hill 1
44. Planescape Torment
45. Silent Hill 4
46. To the Moon
47. FF Tactics
48. Wind Waker
49. FFIV
50. Secret of Mana

Overall pretty decent taste outside of a few outliers (Pokemon lol)

>>387359984
I agree with Silent Hill 2 being the best. But Final Fantasy X being all the way down at #23 is a travesty. FFX's soundtrack was fucking phenomenal and easily blows any other Final Fantasy soundtrack out of the water.

>>387360813
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. I'm not joking.
Also anything Jesper Kyd is at least 8/10 with Blood Money being a 10.
Obviously >>387359984 is going for the kind of le emotional rollercoaster music often found in weeb games. I'm not saying it's necessarily bad, but the fact that all of the top 10 belong to the category except SH2 and perhaps DKC2 is telling.

>>387361040
Morrowind's soundtrack is shit tier compared to Oblivion and Skyrim.

As opposed to what? "Music that goes nowhere and might as well don't exist" aka western soundtracks? There is a reason why westernfags are so allergic to videogame soundtracks and admit that they turn the game music off pretty often.

As great as this game is and as great as its soundtrack is I can't possibly agree with it having the best soundtrack of all time. Especially not with some of those games on that list. Its soundtrack has too much spooky to be listenable. You need to be in the right mood to get into music like that. Its other songs are great to listen to at any time but that isn't the whole soundtrack.

it's important to recognize one's inferiority and submit to people who have good taste and actually know what they're talking about. you will never know music better than the taste-makers so give up and see what they have to offer

and besides, the RYM and slsk taste-makers are actually knowledgeable

I have to say, despite how disappointing AA5 was it does have the most banging tunes in the entire franchise.

>>387359984
Silent Hill 2's OST is fine for the game itself but it really doesn't do anything musically interesting. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Yamaoka fan, but nearly every other game on the list has a better OST than SH2. Hell, even SH 1, 3, and 4 do.

You'll never find music (or games, or anything for that matter) that truly suits your own taste if you do nothing but drone others without exploring on your own.

Should be higher imo, limiting Jack only to setpiece music in ME2 was a bad call, but dumping him entirely for ME3 was even worse, because ME3's music went for that really overused techno-orchestra thing that was all the rage at the time, with no end to somber piano solos throughout, they also reused Vigil a lot more than they needed to during select story sequences, and the weirdest thing I've seen is people that GUSH over the ME3's music being it's only saving grace. ME1's music is basically a love letter to Goldsmith's Total Recall score with some Alien sprinkled in places, and not letting him go crazy as a finale in ME3 was a huge waste

When I was ripping ME1's OST directly from the game, I found an unused song that's basically the main theme and romance theme combined, I have no idea if this has been documented, and Jack said he couldn't remember what it was going to be used for, but I like it. It also helps to remember that the official ME1 soundtrack is missing a good 70% of game music as it is, meaning rips are all we have until an official release, i.e. never

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtH7TPL04bw

And for comparison

>FFVII does not have a great soundtrack

I stopped reading here. You FFVII haters are such pathetic faggots. Saying the game is overrated is one thing. Saying its soundtrack wasn't great? You people are truly scrapping the bottom of the barrel for bait now. Quit being so pathetic.

>no FF VIII

doesn't matter if you like the game or not, VIII has the goddamn best soundtrack in the series;
