Best piece of BGM for a game you've heard.

[ThatRandomGuy42]

Pretty self explanatory.
Games have good music, so what's a favorite of yours?
Best part around 1:02. No idea why it's so good.

I found myself listening to Ys music for most of my shift at work. Just had that music folder on loop/shuffle; so many awesome tunes.

Spoiler: My top 3 songs

Since you posted Sonic, this was the first to come to mind.
Classic Escape the City music from Sonic Generations.

Epic music in games huh?


This song from FTL is so cute and catchy :3


That's off the top of my head.

 

[teqrevisited]

Just one of many. I can't choose any ultimate favourite.

Spoiler: Streets of Rage - Moon Beach

This one just has a dangerously catchy beat.

It never gets old.

This also deserves a mention

No idea how to embed Youtube vids like you guys have (instruction anyone?) (edit, thanks Ed130) but this has always been a fave.


Infact almost every bit of music from Sonic's early games is awesome.
Here's another top piece

I'm pretty sure this is the best overworld track for any game, ever.


Suck it, Zelda.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Blasphemy

It's okay, I don't mind telling you how wrong you are

Well, Darksiders has some decent music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp8APkZs45U
Then there's Dead Space 2, particularly the credits song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOKoHgPglEY
Jamestown has some good tunes too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk_pTk3gv9s

This from Xenoblade Chronicle

It's like a love letter to the old 80's machinary/ electronic sort of music!!!

Avant-garde, that's a word I totally love to be associated with music ¬_¬

Music is pretty good, but the game looks kinda lame and samey.

 

[MrShowerHead]

Eyes, stop crying!

From recent games, finally defeated Kalameet today, those headswings of his were hard to dodge at first. The track playing through the fight was awesome, took me a while to recognize it's the song from the trailer

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Anything that Akira Yamaoka does really, so damn awesome, but this is pretty damn amazing.


Special mention goes to this just because of the scene it's attached to.

Le Gasp!

Please tell me you didn't just call Otogi lame. If you played and enjoyed Demon's/Dark Souls and enjoyed them at all, then you owe the series an apology. The Otogi games are where FROM learnt how to do atmosphere and ambience. There isn't another game that I know of that's managed to carry off such a strong, dreamlike, haunting aesthetic.

Also, you totally get boss fights like this.


Ignore the numpty adding the needless commentary over the top.


In case it's not clear, the first boss battle is a fight against a renegade sorcerer amongst a series of islands floating in the depths of time and space above a supernova star. The second is a fight against a 100 foot nine-tailed fox amongst the clouds and atmosphere hanging over Japan.

Sorry, I'll stop hammering the point now. One day, we're going to have to have an argument to see whose Japanese mythology game is superior. If you've got an original Xbox, the two Otogi games are well worth checking out. If you imagine Okami crossed with Devil May Cry, with Dark Souls' storytelling sensibilities, you'll being to get an idea of how awesome these games are.

Xbox only?

Huh, no chance of me ever playing it then

Agreed. Love his work on the Silent Hill series.

Hmm, It's impossible for me to name a 'best'. I have like, 34 gigs of video game music, maybe more. There's TOO MANY. <3

For the sake of the thread though, this is the best boss theme I've heard from a video game.

His other stuff in Shadows of the Damned is really great too.

I think I had like 10 songs comes to mind instantly and now I've been having a game OST kick.

OT: I will through this out too since I just realized how much I love this damn song.


God, I'm so indecisive! D:
