Yaramaki Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) As stated in topic title do you listen to specific video game music when you are not playing videogames? Let's try avoid licensed songs and soundtracks as that would be the easy way out. If you don't mind list a couple of examples aswell. As for me the only soundtrack i'd listen when i'm not gaming would be to the first Shenmue sountrack but even that has been years as exept for the radio at work i don't listen to music all that much anymore.

Heatman Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Martin O'Donnell's soundtracks in the Halo franchise got me very well. I have a few of his songs on my playlist that I listen to often and on. They are ; 1. Neon Night 2. Never Forget 3. No Stone Unturned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akun Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 It has to be a really good soundtrack for me to bother, like uniquely emotional in the context of the story in the game. Leliana's Song, the Elven funeral hymn from Dragon Age: Origins is one big example I recently mentioned in a post: I always love to save the Brecilian Forest quest for last because of this scene, because it feels more thematically appropriate to have such an emotional song when you've gathered all the main characters and have gone through devastating quests full of hard decisions together. And of course, there's Mass Effect games because they're functionally like a big epic space opera movie, not just games, and so it makes sense that their soundtrack kicks ass like Star Wars. I love the end credits score. It embodies the grand scale adventure of the trilogy full of drama and danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I've listened to many game soundtracks a lot longer than I played their games, the three that come to mind immediately are: Child of Light Desktop Dungeons Ocarina of Time killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmareFarm Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I listen to them almost as much as I do non-game music lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I used to listen to the Killer Instinct soundtrack when I was a kid since it came with the game. Lately though, I have only heard the soundtrack to RDR2, and the signature song to FF8. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily rate the game at least 8/10 with how good it was enjoyable to play in just about everything in the game. NightmareFarm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pretty environments and fun mechanics. I wish it was a little longer though and that you could replay it in missions rather than having to play the entire game all over again. I would rate it a 7.5/10 myself. Also have you heard about Evil West? The same developers that made SW3 are releasing that in November.

Yeah, I have heard about Evil West - the upcoming action adventure video game being developed by Flying Wild Hog to be published by Focus Entertainment. It's been delayed to be released on 22nd November, 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Road Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Not sure if it counts but I use to bump that Killer Cuts CD that came with the original Killer Instinct game. And I do listen to some Mario and Street Fighter music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to download it some months ago and play it some mornings when I am at the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
