Anyone Else Ever Had This Moment? (Game Soundtrack Related)

[Fappy]

Plenty of us have obtained soundtracks to our favorite games because they were either good or we wanted a taste of nostalgia, but have any of you guys ever been playing through a game for the first time and thought to yourself, "Damn this music is fucking awesome. I need to get this shit like right-stat now!"

So far this has happened to me three times. The first was during my first playthrough of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, the second was with Witcher 2 and just recently it happened to me while playing through Persona 4 for the first time. I wouldn't count Skyrim as I pre-ordered the soundtrack before the game even came out... what? Jeremey Soule's the fucking man.

I think it says a lot about a game's music if it actually draws your focus away from the game and makes you notice how good the music is. I think most people would say a good game sountrack melds into the background and supports the atmosphere the game is trying to provide and I would agree. However I'd say it is more successful if it's one of the primary things you focus on/notice during the game.

What do you guys think?

Journey

As soon as I finished playing it I thought to myself, 'Man, I need this soundtrack in my life.'

Apotheosis all up in here!


Dat's some epic shit right there.

I don't know why, but this thread makes me specifically want to play Oblivion

Not as good as Morrowind or Skyrim's music, but still damn good in its own right.

Only if the soundtrack is awesome, and if it sucks then it's a huge distraction to me and I'm more willing to have the volume down low if that's the case. I think Skyrim did an amazing job at the music since it really does draw you into the game so well.

I know I've bought a few soundtracks right away. Journey, all the Silent Hill soundtracks, Binding of Isaac, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution were instant buys for me.

I'm not counting the ones I get from pre-ordering like Catherine.

I was actually really disappointed by Catherine's since it left out so many tracks... but then I suppose it was technically free.

I don't know, the Oblivion main theme arouses me some deep emotional responses from me.

Could be a nostalgia boner. I get the same thing when I hear the Morrowind theme.... oh man I could listen to that thing all day.

Nier. Nier has one of the best soundtracks ever. Completely knocks most things out of the running.

Yeah I noticed that, but hey, it came with the game so I can't ***** too much.

The game still had some pretty awesome music. I know I've used their songs as ringtones on my phone.

That one is pretty awesome.

This my favorite:


They're all pretty bitchin' really, it's so hard to pick a favorite!

The best part is that whenever I hear a cover of one of these songs I immediately think, "CATHERINE!"

Any music professional (especially scholars) would slap me if they heard me say that >.>

 

[BloatedGuppy]

FINALLY I get to be the first person to mention Bastion in a soundtrack thread! This is incredible! This is the best day of my life!

Congratulations Guppy! What are you going to do now?

[sub][sub][sub]FYI saying, "I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!" is a cliched response.[/sub][/sub][/sub]

Well I would slap you, but I'm not petty or snobbish like that!

Music is music and people need to lighten up, now if it's completely bastardized, then that person needs to be slapped.

Hey burningdragoon, would like to talk about the Chrono Cross soundtrack again?

Why, yes. Yes I would. So you're just hanging out with your girlfriend on the beach. Suddenly you see a huge wave coming for you and you're engulfed in a strange light. You wake up, your girlfriend is missing and things seem strange for some reason. You walk out into the (over)world and bam:

<youtube=MV-FvxoR1PQ>

It's fucking magical.

 

[Swyftstar]

There was that one track in Skyrim that would make me stop playing so I could listen to it that made me want the soundtrack.
Final Fantasy Tactics had me wanting the soundtrack right from the title screen. I still listen to it to this day.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

As previously stated Nier. The whole damn thing is beautiful and generally does a great job at getting me into the game. As soon as I left the town at the beginning to be hit by Hills of Radiant Winds... Beautiful.

I still need to finish Nier, if only my old PS3 hadn't broken while I was playing it...

Spoiler: Examples

 

[The Wykydtron]

Yup, it's gotta be done.


Singing along with the chorus all damn day.

I need access to a PS2 now. I need to play P4 to fill the void until P4A decides to show it's face in the UK. I hate the difference in US and UK release dates :C

Now this isn't technically a game soundtrack but it deserves a mention


Hmmm, seems Lee Sin needs a bit of a buff, he's not manly enough yet.
