Simple just link what you consider 4 of the best music Pieces from gaming of the past, link them Youtube vidiyas

We can split them into Categories like best action, Most atmostspheric, Most emotional, and best opening theme.

gonna start it off with a few quick ones,

Best action.


Most atmostspheric


Most emotional


Best opening theme.

Big RPG infulences there eh?

Here's my action music. It's from DNF, it was done by Prodigy...


For atmosphere, FTL has some of the best music I've heard. If you havn't played the game, I strongly recommend you do. It's excellent.


Emotional one was easy. Anne Bonny sang The Parting Glass at the end of Assassin's Creed Black Flag. One of the most emotional endings of any game I've played for me (even tops FFIX). The video is below but I can't give details as to what's really going on as it'd spoil the game. Made me proper bawl. Also my family have Irish roots and this song always reminded me of my pa. Who is in England, and I miss.


As for the best opening music, MGS2 wins here for me. Epic music for an epic game.

Haters can get fucked.

I'm gonna share videos from three artists that you guys should absolutely check out beyond their video game arrangements.

Skyrim Opening Theme (Lindsey Stirling & Peter Hollens)



Since Blokeh shared the original, here's Peter Hollens' cover of The Parting Glass



Minecraft - Sweden (Calm 3) (Smooth Mcgroove)



And because it's so damn iconic, here's Smooth's arrangement of the FFVII Victory Fanfare

The Mario Kart 8 theme is a fucking JAM.

Guitar Hero 2.

wat

Thats more a game where they ride on the back of good music,

but good point.

But let's not forget:

All you red-names look alike.

I'll give my list of good video game music. This is going to be long.


















That is all I can think about at the moment.
HERE BE SECRETSThis last one is for Carl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmOZC0a4IVg

No seriously, this fucking soundtrack is GODLIKE. My favorite is at 4:36, "Attack!".
