so what are some lovely games you've played/experienced that ended up having surprisingly good music? been checking out some let's plays of the infamous CDI zelda games and they apparently had some pretty good tunes. listen to this poo poo:

ok heres some i know, also some words to make this not look like just a collection of links that people will not click on

Dragon Seed - Battle on Holy Plane
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL_xLGoLcx8
rented this game once long ago, was like "oh gently caress yeah its like pokemon but with dragons" but then it turned out to be really, really loving bad, and also most of the "dragons" were incredibly lame, as in, there was like some lovely fat clown thing and they were like "lol its a dragon" and i was all "bullshit!!!!". they did have a door dragon though, as in, an actual sentient door, that would kill things, which was kind of cool i guess. bad game, tho, dont get me wrong.

Flintstones - Unused Track 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBWjVglSVGk
its a loving video game based on the flintstones movie, you bet your dumb rear end its terrible. if you play this game holding out to hear this, well guess what, its not called unused for nothing! you wouldn't even hear this poo poo, dont loving play this game

the gameplay is poo poo, but the soundtrack is clips of classical music(taken from songs by composers like wagner or gustav holst), spliced together in a way that complements the atmosphere perfectly. maybe not as enjoyable to listen to outside the game as everything else itt, but one of the best soundtracks ever imo

I haven't actually played Evergrace but from what I've heard it's not all that great and is very awkward due to it being an early PS2 game

But man, the OST is so cool and I don't know of another fantasy game with a soundtrack like it

can you imagine just pouring your soul out into music, jamming, living your life like a flashback scene from the movies where it's a lot of alcohol, you own your mix board, and just a lot of loving work. you play your music and everyone's like "yeah, this is really loving good man. holy poo poo"

and then the boss walks in and is like "yeah, it's gonna be for this lovely game named evergrace"

like how do you bounce back from a depression like that?

Spectrobes was a pretty bland Pokemon ripoff, some nice ideas and an interesting combat system, but kinda hampered by that early DS game syndrome where touchscreen and microphone gimmicks NEEDED to be at the core of gameplay, so you spent most of the time digging up the same few things (which was a pain in the butt in the desert world) and literally shouting at them

But it also had a part where you used a planet as a giant laser satellite to get to the final boss and this was the song for it, so it had that

The sequel was one of the best-looking games on the DS with some unique designs but fell flat since the core combat turned into 'press button repeatedly while AI partner gets itself killed'

I don't hate it but Sonic 3D Blast's Saturn soundtrack. It's really telling how the Genesis and Saturn games almost identical except for better graphics and St on the Saturn version, but it just feels so much better.

Isn't Halo 4 the game where they finally stopped rehashing Halo 1's soundtrack? I don't remember it at all either.
