ITT: Videogame Soundtracks you consider criminally underrated
Vid related. Halo ODST mechanically is just a mediocre cash in to try and mix the Halo 3 engine some more. But the art style and music was designed to make your none super soldier trooper feel lonely, isolated and vulnerable and while the rest of it is forgettable in the grand scheme of things its got a really unique soundtrack that has sadly been forgotten by time.

Codbabbys didn't like the attempt to do a more low key sci fi story in a human city after their strange faux patriotism "finish the final fights of ultimate war guys" bombast
Isaac Lopez
nah it sold like crazy cos of the map packs
everyone played it once
firefight woulda been played more but only two player co op sucked cock for regularfags
Justin Morales
I played Reach firefight constantly when I wasn't playing invasion with friends
Cameron Morris
Bought the guide for the lore, reached max years and cleared the game multiple times. That fucking OST is tippy toppers m80's
Christopher Thomas
Just wanted to post some Oddworld tbh, sound design in Oddysee and Exoddus were spot on.
I think some blind guy has completed Oddysee as well becuase of how well they did the sound design.
Ayden Hall
Metro is basically filled with these, never see anyone discussing the game either.
Jackson Sanchez
reach sux tho sorry dewd

The best part was that the soundtrack was put on the game disk in a format that allowed it to be read by any CD player.

A cerebral soundtrack which takes notes from historical sources but does not emulate - the composer instead uses historical fragments and tradition to create unique pieces for each of the zones (Hellenic, Egyptian, and Medieval) which are really enjoyable and evocative. There's something very powerful about the ponderous grandiosity of it.

The Age of Kings soundtrack was godlike, the conquerors also had some pretty great tracks. I hardly ever see it around here.
Did anyone else ever get the vibe that Bungie were always very frustrated PC developers working on a console game? They were constantly adding features like map and game type editors that you don't really see in other console shooters.

I have never heard anyone talk about how comfy some of the music in Huniepop is
Noah Johnson
I'd imagine Destiny would be a solid pc shooter if you took out the auto aim
Jacob Long
Feels good.
Ryder Smith
that shit is still stuck on my head
Nolan Morris

Benjamin Green
the composer does some other nice stuff hadn't even heard of this game
Cameron Thompson
I remember just casually putting it in the 360 since I was bored in my cousin's place years ago. That intro with the army and than seeing this badass kick those super soldiers ass. Finally put together when this played.
Luis Wood
More like overrated as fuck. Nothing but generic Hans Zimmar ripoff scores like every other hackjob western game "composer"
Henry Sanders
Ignoring the fact that he'd probably be better compared to John Williams, it's pretty clear you didn't even listen to the music he posted. Zimmer rarely ever ventures outside the loud, bombastic side of things while the track OP put up is much more subdued.
Dominic Hughes
Way to perch on that Halo pedestal, traitors.
Owen Collins

I wouldn't be surprised. The sound design in it is great and is useful even if you're a normal player.
Owen Long
Maybe not so much here on Holla Forums, but I know that none of my normalfag friends know or have even heard of Neotokyo. God, I love the OST…
Easton Evans
I heard that there's this blind dude that plays fighting games competitively and that he is particularly good at one of the Killer Instinct games because of its excellent sound design.

There's a lot of criminally underrated games that started out as Sourcemods. Neotokyo deserves to be far more well known than Counter-Strike.

It really does. Ed Harrison deserves to be a lot more well-known too. I know he recently did some work for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but that game turned out kinda shit…so…fuck.
Dominic Wright

Landon Jenkins
This one was arranged by Jake Kaufman, actually
Joshua Morris
Well the mainstream mostly liked it and I think if he's trying to get his name out there, saying "I worked on that big budget Deus Ex game recently" will work better than "I worked on this super good sourcemod that noone played"

The Age of games seem to have pretty good soundtracks in particular
Apparently those were dogpeople. Shame we don't see more of them though, they seemed pretty badass in their own right.

Such a great soundtrack. I use it all the time as background music in my syfy ttrpgs
Michael King
everquest
Charles Powell
I consider Black Mesa's soundtrack to be criminally underrated
Also the Half-Life series in general has some damn fine soundtracks that are way underrated
Wyatt Russell
From Ian Livingstone.
GRID 1 & 2 has some awesome music by him too, but f1 2012 is the best.
Isaac Lopez
I can't help but love the soundtrack
Jonathan Richardson
Armored Core music is kind of underrated.
Adrian Walker
i just want to build vehicles and especially mechs and airships user. why did this all happen

Isaiah Cruz
not sure if this was posted or not
Brayden Rivera
Why? It's a shitty live performance gimmick, nothing more.
