Best Game Soundtracks Ever

What does this have to do with the thread?

Where the fuck is the list?
If there isn't at least 2 Ace Combat games, don't bother.

>re4 at 13
That's my favourite game of all time and I can safely say that it doesn't belong anywhere near the top of a soundtrack list

Why do so many people circlejerk Red Dead Redemption? It's a mediocre open world game

>Resident Evil 4 and not 2, CV, or 5
>Megaman 2 and not ANY of the X or Zero games
>Last of Us
>Chrono Trigger, which is half plagiarized, as number 2
>Ico as number 1
>No Ace Combat
At least Katamari and SH2 are in the top 10, but holy fuck

This. I'm baffled.

>Bioshock Infinite
What fucking soundtrack did Bioshock Infinite even have other than the catchy barbershop quartet singing God Only Knows?

Super Mario Bros has three songs. Are they ranking it based on 1-1 being one of the most recognizable video game themes of all time?

Cause if so other Mario games have recreated that theme and better.

Because this is a soundtrack list and it has a good soundtrack

At least they've put Jet Set Radio here.

All come to mind. It's not top 10 material, but there is some good shit in there, on top of the great atmospheric shit

Where is Persona 5, i don't get it.

TLoU had a GOAT soundtrack, retard. Some of it was literally recorded in a bathroom with PVC pipes.

>I'm not interesting, so I have to state an opinion that's unpopular
I don't like Persona, but P5's soundtrack is stellar.

>None of those are good
If I were deaf, I'd probably kill myself. Dunno how you've made it this far, user.

Many years of pure hatred

You are right about SoTC, Dark Souls & Bloodborne. But Doom has terrible music & most people under the age of 35 have never even played it, not sure why you are expecting casual journalists to care about

sounds shit lol

Imagine thinking TLOU didn't have amazing music, this song alone warrants a near 10/10
> youtube.com/watch?v=mLuPQfIZDSs

So, there is no Nier's music too. WTF

>There are OST's that are absolutely perfect for a game by being atmospheric or whatever else the game needs, but may not actually be great pieces of music on its own
My thoughts exactly. I know a lot of people say bloodborne music is amazing but it's only amazing while playing the game. Listening to it on it's own is a yawnfest.
But then stuff like sonic will always have really upbeat, catchy tracks that you can listen to wherever/whenever, but it won't reach the heights of bloodborne+playing bloodborne simultaneously, even though the sonic tracks are usually better tracks in general.

> 30 Tetris
It's literally just one song, a good one at that but did it really deserve to be on the list? I feel like everytime someone makes a list like this they have to hamfist in tetris for some reason

Attached: 1451373267878.png (314x278, 129K)

I was surprised at how good the soundtrack in that game is

>No Chrono Cross
Mediocre game, amazing OST
>No Nier

I also thought Witcher III had really great music (II had a better story and some good songs too)

Sonic unleashed should be top 5. And no kingdom hearts is just wrong.
But then again this looks like a nostalgia list from someone who barely plays games.

Which one is better?

Attached: 1542435476905.jpg (4011x3301, 1.84M)

It only has a few tracks but they're pretty good.
I don't even like ICO that much but the music is like one of the reasons why I don't regret playing it.
Just thinking about how boring/tedious the combat system was, makes me a bit angry. I mean it's one of the flaws the game has and its strong points lie elsewhere but they rub that shit in your face.

youtube.com/watch?v=frRQ0B7b9RI

I wish the composers would get to do more work in vidya but that's just a stupid, uneducated opinion

>Sonic Unleashed should be top 5
It's not even top 5 Sonic soundtracks, my guy

>No Deus Ex

>Ico
>literally 13 tracks
>only 2 or 3 are actually good and not ambient shit
I'm impressed.
this so fucking much

It fucking is. Gameplay can be debated but it has the best soundtrack in the series. Day themes were all perfect and night themes were a good change of pace.
And 8-bit music shouldn't even be on the list. That shit isn't actually good. It's just nostalgia goggles.

>No FFCC
This is how I know these people don't play videogames that are not the most mainstream ones

Attached: ffcc1.jpg (400x400, 70K)

Hey, I remember participating in these threads.
My suggestions were Third Strike and Katamari

No, not really. Unleashed has top 10 potential, and it probably has my favorite Vocal Theme in the series, but it has forgettable night time themes (Forgettable Jazz. How the fuck do you even do that?) and decent, but same-y Day time themes.

>No one has mentioned MGR

>that top ten

man, i mean, that is a reason why the shootings exist

All FF's music has no identity, just generic orchestra music

>Portal
>9

What the fuck? Just because of Still Alive? But not like it matters when these "Best OST of All Time" lists usually rank only popular or AAA series.

I guess that one is mildly better but it still has a ton of indy meme shit on there where the games were ok but the music definitely fucking wasn't good enough to displace real gems.

>Made by actual gamers

But this is about music, you should have hired who know music theory if you want to be smug.

Zanarkand by itself is better than all of those soundtracks.

This is literally a best soundtrack list though

>no Falcom
Most of these soundtracks wouldn't even exist without them

Nice job outing yourself, Gerudo Valley alone is better than anything else you named

Hell yeah, there isn't an Ace Attorney game with bad music

>All those Zeldas
>All those Marios
>All those Final Fantasy

These lists should actually limit to one game per franchise, this looks so bloated. Also, the list is shit too, maybe even worse than the one from the OP.

OoT is a good soundtrack. Maybe top 30. But not really.
>Gerudo Valley alone is better than anything else you named
Doubtful, but I'll pick a track that matches it in style: youtube.com/watch?v=vGjwXI0n5-I

No. Ico had inarguably good music, but SotC beats it out in refinement, variety, and consistency. It DEFINITELY loses to Chrono Trigger, even if CT is more primitive in what it had to work with.

Really it's a super easy way to instantly determine if a list like is worth a second thought. You can tell that they thought CT was the best, but that answer would be "too obvious" and they tried to find something people agree is good but was "obscure and surprising". It's click generator bullshit.

Really the main issue is that these lists just should never actually change much so there is no point in new ones more then once every 5 or 10 years. The mindblowing classics at this point are significant in number and unlike other aspects music is pretty timeless, so "newer" has no automatic advantage. Not that new can't sometimes be great, but it has an ever taller hill to climb because in principle to make a top list it would have to not merely be good, but beat out multiple decades worth of gold.

So forced frequent lists inevitably have to get away from purely what's good and try to mix in some novelty somehow. Better not to do it at all.

This reads more like a mix of some decent music and games people really liked or felt were "iconic". Like MGS, yeah it really kicked off a legend, but the soundtrack wasn't better then MGS 3. 3x Sonic, zero Ace Combat? Terranigma? Deus Ex? Guilty Gear? Ghost Trick? Okami? SaGa? Xenogears/Xenosaga?

I think most people either don't play much variety or can't separate out soundtracks that stand alone well regardless of the game (not that the above were bad games).

Funny how even the shittiest sega games have an amazing soundtrack

Sega has always had good stylish flair to their aesthetic, great at keeping up with up-to-date style and trend without creating a dated product, even if it led to a "Style over substance" approach to a lot of it. There's a lack of Yakuza on your list though.

Agreed. I really, really wanted to like Ico but the combat and puzzles were too tedious for me. I respect it but I never want to play it again. SotC and TLG are both far more enjoyable.

Literally almost a fourth of it is blatant Falcom Sound Team circlejerk, why is this allowed?

Explain to me why The Last of Us' OST doesn't deserve to be on this list.

These lists turn out a lot better if you stick to a 1-game-per-series rule, stick an asterisk next to it if you want but every actual gamer will recognize that some series always have fantastic music but it's dumb to try to pack them all in at the expense of glorious 1-offs. So series like
Ace Combat
Final Fantasy
Guilty Gear
Mario
MGS
RE
Xeno*
Zelda

Pick a top example from each, people can spend ages arguing within one single series but it's just a matter of degrees, everyone knows they're good. Then you have room for one shot games more easily.

To be fair, some tracks aren't that good. My only real favorites were Objection, Pursuit, and Dick Gumshoe's Theme.

Meanwhile JFA had Shelly Dr Killer's Theme, Core - Investigation, and of course Great Revival, which was so good they used it EVERYWHERE in the Investigations games and in DD and SoJ.

It's sad how underrated Team Fortress 2's OST is.

This seems to be more of a popular game list that happens to have good soundtracks, than it is just a list of games that have great soundtracks.

What are some games that you will never play but still listen to its OST because it's so good?

So instead here are some samples from a bonus album created to elucidate some of the world's legends and mythology they're not quite as good, but I don't want people to be spoiled the way I was:

Decent taste, my only disagreement really is that The Midnight Carnival was too full of awesome stuff and is my pick. Or as a twist, #Reload by N.EX.T had some pretty fucking pounding metal versions and was well put together. I think it's still my favorite final boss theme of the series:

Ico isn't popular. It's not even popularity list, it's a hipster list.

Different user.
It's good but I wouldn't put it in some top list. The main theme is great, everything else is kinda forgettable. That guitar twang only goes so far.

Well first of all 100 is way to many. Top 10. Maybe top 20. There are less than 100 truly good games in general, let alone games with good music.

I dont know if Mario being on that header is just because video games, but literally no Mario game would ever be on a list of greatest "soundtracks." It might show up on a list of simply iconic tracks in general, but not ever greatest soundtracks overall.

But as far as soundtracks, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim would be the top 3, in really any order. Fourth would be Fable and fifth is Journey. Every other game can line up after that.

>Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim would be the top 3
Sure thing, Todd.

>listen for a a few mins while jerking off

Fire song, my man. I didn't know that game has such tunes

Why does everyone have such shit taste when it comes to game OSTs?

Whether you like TES in general or not, the music is great. This isnt a list of the best games, its soundtracks, Soule is fantastic.

Mah nigga. Just about every note in that ost has been with me for the past nearly 20 years.

I'm sorry user that's just not very impressive. It's ok background music, certainly competently done. But it doesn't resonate and stand out, during the game the music itself never leapt out to me and it's not the sort of tracks where 10 or 20 years from now I could hear a snippet and instantly recognize it and be taken back to the game and those times of my life.

Please understand that saying "This isn't top 50 or top 100 of 35+ years of works worldwide" is NOT saying it's "bad". TLoU music isn't bad. But no, it doesn't belong on a top 50/100 OST list either.

I beg to differ the Super Mario Galaxy games have by far some of the best songs in the series. I'd agree that maybe it shouldn't be near the Top 20, but overall they have amazing music.

Not really. Skyrim's main theme is great, won't deny, the occasional track in Oblivion and Morrowind are good but nothing else is memorable. They do their job well enough but it's too generic medieval fantasy. The main theme for Oblivion is a near ripoff of Pirates of the Caribbean.

I agree and still it shouldn't be near the 100 at all.

Forgot about that track, goddamn. I still don't think it's no. 1 worthy.

True. The songs in Warioland 4 are nailed to be played with the stages, otherwise they kind of drag too much to be enjoyable as just music. Not to mention the music is dynamic to the power-ups in the game.

You'll never get a wide diversity of people to ever agree on music. It's one of the art forms that people will most likely disagree. For example, I still stand by the idea that the most beautiful sound ever made is an orchestra tuning. That shit, for me, is the greatest sound mankind can produce. I can't really explain why, it's just what it is.

That was precisely the goal of the soundtrack, though: to be sparse and subtle and to accentuate rather than distract. Taking the "video game" part out of consideration when rating a "video game soundtrack" doesn't make any sense. You're looking at these as a standalone album of songs instead of as something that complements the atmosphere, immersion, gameplay, art design, and overall whole of the video game in which they're used.

Not that I completely disagree but that argument doesn't amount to much. That's like saying Avengers actually has a great soundtrack despite them being as generic as they can be but they serve their purpose, while everyone can hum just about any Star Wars song.
A good soundtrack doesn't mean that it just serves their purpose within the medium. It means that it can stand on its own merit. And Last Of Us, outside of the game, doesn't stand on its own merit.

>That was precisely the goal of the soundtrack, though: to be sparse and subtle and to accentuate rather than distract.
That's nice, but it doesn't make for an interesting soundtrack. There are some games where "the goal" would be to have most silence and nature sounds with maybe a bit of light flutework every once in a while and it'd "fit" perfectly. Doesn't mean it's a good soundtrack on a top soundtrack list.

>Taking the "video game" part out of consideration when rating a "video game soundtrack" doesn't make any sense.
No, it's the only way it makes sense. Not every good game leans on the soundtrack aspect. But lots of great games do. By your measure literally dead silence could be a "great soundtrack" if it fit the game.

>You're looking at these as a standalone album of songs instead of as something that complements the atmosphere, immersion, gameplay, art design, and overall whole of the video game in which they're used.
Wrong, all the good soundtracks complement the games they're in. It's just the soundtracks themselves are being called on as part of the emotion, atmosphere and immersion far more heavily. There is nothing wrong per se with depending more on visuals and such and having the sound be minimal and background, but such a game doesn't deserve to be on a soundtrack list vs equally good games that use the music much more dynamically.

Again, this isn't a "wholistic top game list". There are lots of those too.

Because MUH WILY CASTLE 1. Megaman 3 and 9 overall have way better soundtracks.

And that's exactly why they're good

Terrible. There should be a condition of no licensed music, otherwise most of Brutal Legend would be on here, or any game that has classical music.

t. brain fucked by memes

Right. Measure of a great soundtrack is if someone can hear a song years/decades later and be transported right back to the game, if the music itself both worked in the game and evokes memories. It's audio activating visual portions of your brain, you hear it and it all comes flooding back.

Exactly. If we say licensed music is allowed than it's likely that any list is not going to have actual vidya music.

Having just replayed them all, if you forced me to put one of the big 3 Sony survival/adventure/open world series on a soundtrack list user (I wouldn't otherwise) I'd probably lean towards HZD and then Dad of War before getting to TLoU. They both meet your criteria of meeting "the goals of the soundtrack" too except then do better on their own or for mood too.

Yeah, I just take that as another part of the series changing to just be comfortable as a "cinematic experience", and I don't mean that in a negative way even. GoW1 was the pinnacle of the most fun gameplay as a "DMC lite" type of thing and really nailed the greek feel, not merely in setting but in the whole cycle and arc. But then they started trying to have things all over in HD, GoW3 was this awkward hybrid that didn't really do anything right. GoW4 was genuinely enjoyable overall, just not as its own thing and the music is like that too I guess, it was a good match for what you were seeing like a well made hollywood flick but can't evoke things on its own really, whereas what you linked immediately brought me back to the moment on the cliff and "the gods of olympus have forsaken me."

This is a great video of what I mean.
youtube.com/watch?v=IEfQ_9DIItI

A soundtrack designed to be heard while playing a video game cannot be accurately judged outside of that context. It's literally not designed to "work on its own," and any argument to be had at that point is just a pointless, shallow exchange of "this piece of music is better than this other piece of music because I personally like it more." You might as well try to debate what is the best layer in painting, or the best word in literature. This is meaningless without context.

Good soundtracks can work on their own. They both serve the mood of the game as well as being able to be listened by itself.
I won't fault a musician for simply doing its job and making a song that fits the mood of that particular area, but no one outside of that will enjoy it.
While I can listen to Silent Hill's soundtrack for a week straight and never stop enjoying it.

No because I prefer my vidya compositions to be more dynamic, like Doom 4/Eternal's, or Payday 2, shit like that. My taste is more varied than shooters, those are just examples that come to mind. Tracks that don't react to your actions can be great, but will just never compare.

>A soundtrack designed to be heard while playing a video game cannot be accurately judged outside of that context
Then it doesn't belong in a thread devoted to soundtracks that are both designed to be heard while playing a video game AND stand alone as symbols of the game, just like a screenshot or character design.

>You might as well try to debate what is the best layer in painting, or the best word in literature
user you are really confused here, these are not equivalent. A game is complex multimedia composite made up of subelements that are ALSO complex, getting as reductionist as you say is like talking about "the best C note". The equivalent for painting would be like "What painting has the best human face" or "the best animal" or "most evocative night sky". Lots of fantastic paintings don't have any of these things, but that doesn't mean someone couldn't be interested in one of these elements specifically.

Maybe it'd help you if you switched gears to another element of vidya, like gameplay or graphics. A "top 50 best gameplay" or "top 50 best graphics" list would look dramatically different from these ones, because different devs utilize subelements in different ways and to different extents. Would you be here arguing that we couldn't say Dwarf Fortress shouldn't be on a Top 50 Best Graphics because "the ASCII art is designed to be seen while playing and cannot be accurately judged outside of that context"? Do you see how silly that is? Or how about Touhou? Arguably in both cases the very minimalness has been a great aid in "fans create their own stories and interpretations", but that doesn't mean they have "great graphics" ffs.

I don't understand why he was so gung ho about it. I mean, it was "good" in that yeah nothing wrong with it, a few decent spots, and it fits the game ok, but it's nothing inspiring either.

I actually really hate to throw around the "you must be young" shit, it's way overdone and often wrong or meaningless. But in this case I wonder, because I thought TLoU was fine, I was glad I played it, but looking back over my 30 years of vidya it really doesn't stand out that much and the soundtrack definitely doesn't even register beyond "competent". Which often is fine, I don't expect every game or show or whatever to nail that anymore then anything else. But there are tons of games with competent mood music, and more variety too.

Confirmed for not knowing shit about vidya OSTs, holy fucking shit fuck

CC had one of the greatest OSTs of all time but I'd still have to think hard about whether to still put CT higher. Strong arguments both ways.

>surprised its good
>composed by david wise
pick one. david wise is based af

I thought it was generally agreed that while CC is undeniably the inferior game, it has a better OST than CT

>shit
Sure fire way to tell when someone has never played it.

Here's OP's list

That and calling it a simulator. Those are the two.

I've always seen it in discussions as it being more complicated. CC is godly at its orchestral usage, and it has depth in many songs that CT doesn't. But CT had a wider range of in-game settings and the music matched that well, more variety and some of the most iconic core melodies ever.

Personally I genuinely just consider them both 10/10s with different strengths, I cannot choose. I think of one song and it's like "yeah that one puts it over the top" but then I think of another in the other OST that flips the balance again. Feelings like the hydra from CC and the sheer ambience is amazing, yet then Schala's Theme or To Far Away Times comes to mind and I can play the entire damn thing in my head. Granted I liked both games too.

Apotheosis is smooth hot chocolate to my ears

It's not even top 100 material. There are NES games with better soundtracks.

I suppose you're right, given that the game is a combination of brick-throwing simulator and press X to Jason.

Baroque may not be the best game but it is fucking insane and I respect it for that.

Terranigma has the best soundtrack in the entire SNES library, prove me wrong.

everyone knows ff6 will always be king you dont need to try to be cool with some second string obscure game no one has played

just googled it because this is the first game in a while that I've never heard of, had a really really nice OST. Ty for showing me user :)

FF6's OST isn't even as good as FF5's. FF3 actually has my favorite soundtrack of the series, but that's not a very popular opinion.

What are they up to these days? The newest games I've played with Zuntata music are Wizrogue and Dariusburst.

idk why so many people like ff6 ost. feels like uematsu really gave up on the snes at that point.

Ocarina of Time is a great game, but best music? Nah.

whats up with Yea Forums hating quieter, more instrumentally sparse soundtracks? everything getting praised ITT is max volume hyper energetic bombastic 100% of the game.

Because energetic music is easier to remember and grow an attachement for since it accompanies gameplay-heavy moments in a game, such as hard platforming sections, hard schmups or boss fights. Doesn't mean that calmer songs are bad, but they really need to be catchy and with really good instrumental to be mentioned and be considered as memorable. Super Mario Galaxy's Observatory always comes to mind when we talk about more quieter songs, along many of the stratum songs in the Etrian Odyssey series:

Why do people put shit like this so high?

But that's literally not the case you dumb faggot. Thread is full of games that have quieter and more atmospheric music.

You're welcome. Panzer Dragoon was a pretty great series overall. It's too bad the final one was on the Xbox HUEG and thus even more obscure then it might have been otherwise and never got a port to something more modern, it's a pretty fun game.

>no nier or nier:automata
What a joke of a list.

neither of those are quiet at all. they're just as dense and loud, just a bit slower.

Okay, now I know this is bullshit.

Because it had a few good vocal tracks and that makes it amazing apparently

Halo has some amazing music, which pretty much carried the series. I don't think it would be anywhere near as popular without it.

Probably because the Falcom Sound Team are leading in the field and are the ones that inspired the majority of the Japanese soundtracks on every one of these lists?

It's not the best soundtrack and definitely has some weak songs, but it's still one of my favorites. It's really unique in just how tense the majority of it feels.

The ending theme in particular never fails to send chills down my spine at the finale.

ICO good, Shadow better. But they're also entirely different themes and scopes.

1. Shadow of the Colossus
2. Ico
3. Journey
4. Chrono Cross
5. Dunno.

Don't be that fag

If you dislike Chrono Cross' OST, nobody who's heard it would ever take your opinion on music seriously

>Deus Ex

Oh one of those lmao
>JRPGs are shit
ya they bore me now, but the music in Cross and Trigger fit the gameplay, environments and story very well; and Cross' OST is well orchestrated, so it's a good lsiten outside the context of the game.

The major downside of Cross' OST is the length of most of the tracks. Way too short, and some of their loops makes them repetitive.

>but damn the halo theme is really good guys

>nothing from Jesper Kyd on the list

Unironically Persona 5's soundtrack is perfect to me. It's calming or intense and upbeat when it needs to be, the songs are catchy as all fuck and it really suits the aesthetic of the game so perfectly it makes replaying the game a joy.

I'm not a big music lover either so I normally don't remember videogame music very often.
