Yousef-

@nomither6 I’m actually pretty ok with it not getting a sequel. It makes feel oddly more special, in a way. Still, the reason it never got a sequel is probably because the IP wasn’t given to PlatinumGames again, which is understandable. They always bounce and back forth between licenses.
Still, if it gets a sequel, it would be cool to see what Sam and Armstrong would be up to. Can’t fret over every egg!

Playing Xenoblade, feel free to add me on switch or steam. ✌️

Such a soothing song, it's the perfect music to listen to while grinding in the game.

Well I just found my new favourite song while playing FF8:

I seriously can't stop listening to it.

100% The Psychonauts soundtrack. Peter McConnell absolutely nailed it with that soundtrack. My favorite track is "Whispering Rock" aka the campground theme.

The whole Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack is fantastic

This song has been living rent free in my head, Mick Gordon literally never misses

I also picked up Nier Automata for £17 on sale and while the game is a master piece in story telling, the OST is absoltely outstanding with A beautiful Song being a standout

150 platinums and counting...

@HallowMoonshadow While I'll always support any and all Sonic Unleashed representation, I hate to admit that I totally know where you're coming from! Apotos was (and is) an outstanding platforming stage, but I'm not sure it translates 100% smoothly into a kart racer course.

As much as you and I agree about its music, the track is one of the least popular among fans. It's the same kind of criticism which was levelled at the Sonic X Shadow Generations soundtrack last year, when the hate for the game's new Chaos Island remix got way overblown. I never realised EDM / dubstep was so divisive, but then perhaps I'm biased, because (as is often the case) the new Chaos Island remix ended up being one of my personal highlights from that game's soundtrack.

Do you reckon you'll pick up CrossWorlds someday, or was the beta enough for you?

@HallowMoonshadow Oh, sweet! Hope you enjoy Frontiers and Sonic X Shadow as and when you play 'em and yes, please do let me know your thoughts!

I'm glad you don't hate Chaos Island's music (and sorry for spoiling it ahead of your own playthrough, by the way) but yeah, I'd seen some of those comments about the amount of EDM / dubstep in Sonic soundtracks. Honestly, I'm all for it. Like everything else about him, Sonic's music has always evolved with the times and tried new things. It was never gonna be chiptunes and early 00's butt rock forever, but we're into that generational shift where the Classic Sonic fans are starting to get outnumbered by the Dreamcast Era fans, and so they get to steer the conversation.

Just wait until you hear the Frontiers soundtrack. It's... it's just perfect.

Im looking for other games with great music/soundtracks/ambiance/sound. For reference some of my favorites are in no particular order; Death Stranding, Returnal, Tetris Effect, BallXpitt, BG3 to name a few. Great music pulls me into a game more than anything else. I think I lean more into synth melodic music, but anything atmospheric does the trick too. I just picked up Tainted Grail and the opening music is amazing. Other suggestions to add?

@Elodin I see you mention Tetris Effect so if you don't know about it already (which you probably already do, but just in case) I wholeheartedly recommend Rez Infinite.

@Elodin Not sure if they are your types of game, but ones that stick for their score are Sword of the Sea and the first Ender Lillies. The former was by Austin Wintory, and if you are familiar with his previous work you will know that you are in for a treat!

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@JohnnyShoulder I really liked Sword of the Sea. Great recommendation! I now have to check out Ender Lillies. Thanks for this!

I just finished The Invincible and this one track really stood out, it's short at only two minutes but really good. I won't be forgetting it any time soon, nor the scene that the track plays over.

This is going to be so personal for each individual... for me some standouts are:

  • Final Fantasy 10 (partly because of how it's connected to a particular phase of my life and is therefore rich in nostalgia).
  • Dark Souls series
  • Silent Hill 2 (original)
  • Redout (especially 2)
  • Spirit of the North 2, which I'm playing currently, as it has some nice kulning vocal sections and goes very well with the aesthetics.
  • Battlefield 2
  • Warcraft 2

Dynasty Warriors has always had pretty epic sound tracks for me. Always liked the metal high tempo fusion. Specially dynasty warriors 7 OST was the stand out for me.
Sonic always had some bangers
Nier universe is incredible
Final fantasy 7 always captures a mood too.
I'll leave this from Dynasty warriors 7. Its always struck a chord with me.
