Hot Heart Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 It's that time of year again, folks. You know the drill. I've only really played one new game this year, but it has some fantastic music. Yes, it's Destiny, you wouldn't expect anything less. Wait for the 1:26 mark What about you? What have been your favourite game tracks of the year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I love this track due to Cartman's chanting. I don't recall anything from Wolfenstein The New Order but I like the main menu theme when you start up the game since it is timed so well. I'm giving it a listen now so it can get some love. Maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Yay, it's this thread again! Much like Bastion, Transistor's entire soundtrack was amazing but the main theme is just so, so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aej731dmNMk The Souls series hasn't really had a lot of memorable music since Demon's Souls chilling main theme but the Majula theme really stuck with me for some reason. It lets you know you're in a safe place but at the same time it's really eerie and haunting. If you grew up playing the NES like I did, Shovel Knight was such a goddamn nostalgia trip and the music contributed a lot to that feeling. It takes you back to the days when games had to have really catchy tunes because they couldn't yet bore you with generic orchestral soundtracks. And, as it turns out, I haven't played a whole lot of new releases this year because that's pretty much it. So, I'm going to cheat and say the PC version came out this year. On its own, the Revengeance soundtrack isn't that incredible. It's cheesy power metal nonsense and is all kinds of silly. But as a game soundtrack? Holy shit, it's as close to perfection as you can possibly get. It complements the insanity happening on-screen in the best imaginable way. There's just something incredibly satisfying about hearing someone scream "RULES OF NATURE!!" as you block the attack of a gigantic robot with your tiny little sword, only to follow that up by running up its arm and slashing it to fucking pieces.

Hot Heart Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Since it wasn't complete until this year, and I missed it last year, I'm also counting The Wolf Among Us. I'll probably find something from The Walking Dead S2 as well, I think I liked at least one of the credits songs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 That Transistor song. I still need to play the game. The Atelier Escha & Logy (Eschatology—so punny!) vocal album was pleasant. It really had its moments. Ar no surge was somewhat disappointing. The Ar tonelico series is, or should be, known for its impressive soundtracks, and this one was spotty in its performance. Still, there were some notable tracks. Gust also released Atelier Escha & Logy this year (Eschatology—so punny!). The vocal album had its moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Since it wasn't complete until this year, and I missed it last year, I'm also counting The Wolf Among Us. Oh man, I can't believe I forgot about The Wolf Among Us. That game had such a great atmosphere and the music contributed a lot to it. Good pick. That Transistor song. I still need to play the game. Yes, you really do. Might be a good idea to put it at the top of your wishlist for the secret santa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 If I could edit my fucking wishlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Maybe make a post about that in the Secret Santa Wishlists thread so your santa is sure to know that your wishlist is out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 How could I forget Child of Light? Also happens to be one of my favorite games of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Can I just post all the music from Halo 1-3? The Master Chief Collection came out this year so it counts, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Can I just post all the music from Halo 1-3? The Master Chief Collection came out this year so it counts, right? You can only use the remastered versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Actually, only Halo 2 has new remastered music. I'll have to go through the soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Heh, well, I'm only kidding. I'd just heard that the remastered stuff didn't sound so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I didn't like it in CEA because it was different, but I'm not as familiar with 2 so I liked that remastered music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
