Games you would never looked at if not for the OST or [A E T H S E T I C]

Pics related. Night in the Woods is an okay idea, Vidya mumblecore with a supernatural mystery going on in a sleepy former boomtown in a death spiral. Really falls apart in the final act and reeks of 'ran out of time and money and needed to push it out' but the art style is comfy and the soundtrack is legitimately good 'autumn_town_music.wav' thats comfy as fuck to listen to this time of year on its own.
While The Flame in the Flood is a neat twist on the survival meme. Some disaster has flooded the south and you ride a river north hoping to find safety at the source of a radio signal. On the way you find islets of former suburbs or churches sinking into the new banks as you traverse the rapids or calm eddys and explore random pitstops for supplies and places to rest. Its got this warped picturebook style and the soundtrack is described as a 'southern gothic twang' by musician Chuck Ragan and again its a game thats just okay being carried by a fucking fantastic soundtrack.

Lots of great games have good soundtracks, but when has a middle of the road game been saved by its OST for you?

Yiff in the woods falld apart from its very conception.

No it has some promise as a story of a college drop out dealing with some dark shit at home. But the main character was just an increasingly large asshole as time went on, the kind that one day realises all their friends arent their friend anymore and wonders what their problems are when they are the problem, and then just as it gets rolling it goes "UHHHH FUCK I DUNNO, THE END". But the idea of a small town murder mystery with a side scrolling style mixing adventure game and platformer elements is sound in theory.

Cuphead

You forgot to mention that it's caked in Tumblr faggotry.

I liked soundtrack and art of Dragon Age Inquisition. But this is where my interest ends in it. Combat is repetitive garbage, loads of glitches and shit story don't make up for any of it.

Hands down hotline miami, not use to top viewed cameras and before i heard the soundtrack i thought it was just another pixelshit game

Comfy Roguelike and pixelcute.

That music reminds me a bit of Aquaria.

Theres actually some good videos about that and how its actually a commentary on life in the rust belt.

Agreed to flame in the flood. It was a pleasant game with the Chuck Ragan really pulling me in.

I guess space waifu had a really nice but short soundtrack. Works well for the game.

i had never heard of him before outside of a 'southern gothic' spotify playlist i found during the week i used it but i snapped the album for this one up and landsick almost has as many plays as 'light up the night' on my mp3 player now.

You have to go back.

Its not perfect but i think a lot of people got confused over what actually goes on. You see people with usernames like 'nazi puncher antifaboi' screaming its pro socialist when all the socialists in the game are dead end losers blaming the older generation for all their problems. Their opposites think a gay couple and some sarcastic comments are a 'get out of the way old guard, its a queer world now' nightmare vision and its neither. Its shitty people in a shitty situation and there is no perfect group or ideology in it.

boy was i wrong
is 2 at least as good?

...

Dragon Ball FighterZ. I never cared for DBZ, but the game looks amazing visually and I love how if you wind up hitting dudes real hard they go flying into buildings and mountains and shit.

Tfw I know the artist that worked on this.

The music sounds like out of Mabinogi, pretty nice.

What is with the influx of people with no taste dickriding this awful soundtrack? Stop shilling this shit.

There was a massive cuckchan leak recently.

This may be the case, but that doesn't distract from the tumblr shit. Just because it's commentary doesn't make it not shit or immediately good.
And I ain't watching some fag who likes nitw talk for half an hour about how the game is hidden genius.

WHAT NOW WITEY?!

what do you expect from the night in the woods community?
The third time we had a thread shitting on it someone posted a vore fanfiction they found on furaffinity.
Good times.

UGH

Kike in the hoods isn't a game, though

I played the beginning of The Lost Odyssey and I don't usually get into these jrpg's but the standard music is so hype that I couldn't get away from it.

I'm dismissive of fangames but I saw this scene from Lisa the Pointless and it had me thoroughly convinced that the guy who was making it definitely knew exactly what he was doing and how to go about it.

...

DST looked pretty neat with the theme.

[WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS]

...

At least it's the better tumblr emotional angst drama hipster video game, compared to Life is Strange.

can you not emulate em?

Yes, but that doesn't distract from how shit NitW is. If given the choice between NitW and LiS I'd choose NitW but being better than LiS isn't an accomplishment.

Your standards are way too high. Media is going to shit, and now our standards should be based solely on how much better it is that the lowest possible popular standard.
Right now cartoons are shit, but compared to Teen Titans Go and suddenly they're a lot more tolerable.

This is without a doubt the most retarded shit I've read on here today. I am hoping you're just shitposting and don't actually believe that tripe you're spouting.

Night in the Woods is insecurity porn for hipster faggots.

The Flame in the Flood is a pretty comfy little game, with some bullshit quirks. Soundtrack is great and really sells the mood of the game, but the overall experience feels like it's unfinished and lacking. Hard to tell if it's hindered, in some way, by the engine they used, or if they just didn't take the time to polish it a little further. It was a nice game to sit down with for a few evenings over the course of a week, though.

I knew you were gay, but I guess you're dumb, too.

I don't really find most 2d games fun unless they're on a handheld or an RTS/strategy game. Just an internal bias I have.

Give in user. Things won't get better, not for another five years at least. The trends point towards half a decade of mediocrity in AAA titles, a market focus on Independent developers, and an overall themes of "games that defy the definition of being a game" as part of a post-modern movement. Doki Literature's File browser portion and Undertale's save state were only the beginning. The Stanley Parable will become the standard of gaming, Rage Simulators will abound, and there will be nought but a few gems from Nip-land and Indie Devs that actually know their Shit, like Cuphead.

No, fuck you.
2017 was great for indie vidya, even if there were a couple of stinkers like NitW or shit overblown memegames like Doki.

My standards weren't high, the game refused to live up to it's own hype is why I call it shit.
If the game showcased it's actual quality all the way through I wouldn't have minded the ending being nothing.
However, the game overstretched itself. It had red herrings, tons of buildup to characters, an actual lore and backstory to the towns and even the stars, and even a potential explaination to everything, it being a professor layton and the mystery box style everyone's hallucinating due to a gas coming from the mines
It hyped itself up excellenty with it's presentation and polish.
Then nothing, the game just ends.
Even with the argument that "you just had too much expectations" I didn't come in with them. Even if it's artfully disappointing as an excuse that "life doesn't have any actual conclusions owo" It's still shit.
It will always be shit.
Nothing sans an entire story rewrite will make it not shit.
Fuck you for implying otherwise.

Search your heart, you know it to be true. It was foretold to us by our great prophet, though as he puts it…
IT'S JUST A THEORY!
A GAY THEORY!
hooktube.com/watch?v=gxzKZdTxNp8
In all seriousness though, MattFag did at least get the part about Indie Devs taking the market. Big Name titles are going to flop, the little guys are going to have the good Shit.

...

...

Okay? Telling me to lower my standards is what I’m calling your retarded ass out on.

I have a normie friend and she makes me watch this trash heap in exchange for control over movie night. It's grating, but not too bad. I'm honestly amazed how he can have all this research and then go straight for the most bullshit, reddit-tier theory possible. Hell, apparently he even stole theories from Reddit for the Doki Literature vid.


I'm sorry user, I'm a cock-gargling cum-sloshing faggot who used Gay Theory and shitposting for a cheap laugh. Happy?

mattpatt has pretty much always stolen theories from elsewhere and called them his own.

Dangit Ronpaul is a prime example, only that it's not a video game just like what OP posted.

...

Go back to cuckchan.

I can't

It's supposed to be a video game.

Your point being?

that the initial post in this chain of replies was correct.

Mirror's Edge and its OST by Solar Fields. It's my my favorite psybient artist, I didn't know about a game before I saw the album.

youtube.com/watch?v=HjaBzGyCsSg

literally hearing the menue theme to FE echoes made me buy it, best 30 bucks ever spent

that fucker looks like jim sterling

I think that it has female genitals, or maybe wishes it did.

Yuck.

Go browse through their feeds. They're you're run-of-the-mill Trump-hating, anti-GG-retweeting, social justice ass bags. The one on the right even has the stereotypical problem glasses to ice the cake.

Jettomero: Hero of the Universe
Game looks neat but there is nothing else to back that up. Its a really bad Console to PC port too.

This is the message I left them when I refunded the game after ingame clues led me to research them where I soon discovered they were SJWs

I know the animator (the fat one I think) absolutely loves satanic imagery for some asinine reason. Like I ain't religious or anything but it comes off as needlessly edgy "FUCK U MOM AND FUCK UR JESUS TOO" teir shit.

...

...

Someone bully this faggot off twitter he needs to go do his dishes.

There is a lot of red flags about these fags. Fun fact: Bob Chipman is blocked by one of them, it seems that even they can't stand his faggotry

...

What they did to Tomoko should be considered a felony.

Imagine being so lacking in cognitive function you think the red pill is about liking a movie.

What did they do?

Made her non-autistic, and have the story revolve around her new friends' experiences with her

I miss it.

Peria Chronicles is coming out, though, expect literal aids because Nexon.

Fallout 1 and 2 would have just been merely okay were it not for Mark Morgan's god-tier OSTs. That shit sets tone and mood so fucking well, the world could have just been blank white squares and you still would have felt the menace of a hostile wasteland.

I still put that stuff on for background noise. Absolutely astounding soundtrack.

Any word on a western release?

Zero.

A friend roped me into Undertale with the OST. You faggots had me properly scared away from even looking at it. The game wound up being okay and kind of neat.

Yeah, it's honestly not that bad, just overhyped by every vlogger on the internet.
Remember how the internet put MattFag on suicide watch because he gave Undertale to the Pope?

From the mouth and eyes of someone who doesn't grasp the fact they themselves are what causes those problems. It's hilariously oblivious to the point of being anger inducing.

I got lucky enough to get it before the hype had gotten around, so I went in knowing almost nothing and I absolutely loved it.

user, you really need to stop being an obvious shill.

This. Freerunning was top comfy. Naturally EA fucking murdered the sequel and series by being fucking EA.

I liked the sequel.

You're going to the gas chamber.

The art style is utter dogshit. So is character design. And pretty much everything.

Ignore , he's a retard.
She's the same autist, just with a bit more self-control and more people involved in the shenanigans.

The soundtracks good though.

>you got this
The sequel is shit, but the soundtrack to either of the games is half the reason to play them, at least.

i never understood its gameplay

Fell in love after hearing the soundtrack. Game turned out to be fun too. Patty is also good fap bait.

Why do you like embarrasing yourself?

user, I said I was a cock-gargling cum-sloshing faggot who watches MattFag, albeit against my will, in that same post.
If using the word normie is what you're focused on, you've got more issues than me.

I will take this opportunity to shill OneShot, which has middling puzzles and a wonderfully atmospheric OST.


You should play OneShot.

Sword of Mana has better music and hack and slash action than Legend of Mana, so I suppose it was actually a decent successful remake.

this user has the right idea, oneshot is great.

...

The game doesn't rely on 4th wall breaking as a one off thing to say "LEL IT'S ALL A GAME ANYWAYS!"
The game uses 4th wall breaking as a means to an end.
It doesn't just refer to past actions to be all eriee and meta like doki and tumblrtale, it uses 4th wall breaking to solve puzzles and progress, and in the original version it uses 4th wall breaking to give your actions consequences.
The game doesn't act like it's just a game even with the 4th wall breaking. At no time is there bullshit like "THIS IS A GAME NOTHING MATTERS ANYWAYS YOU'RE A SADIST, PLAYER!" like everything else.
Also niko is /monster/ at worst.

Please remember Niko is not for anything but pancakes.

Chrono Trigger.
When I first heard the song when you first step out of Chrono's house was the best OST I've ever heard.

Kemono is okay and sometimes cute, although I don't get sexualizing it but it isn't /monster/.

It's a fetish, I ain't gotta explain shit.

No I more mean that other than Niko's face, nose and hat there's no further evidence of furriness or other catlike features. His mom certianly doesn't have anything other than whiskers and a button nose

I've ended up liking all of them except JSR (it just plays like a really shitty version of Tony Hawk), but I have somewhat mixed opinions on NieR and Ruiner.

and dick

Do you have a torrent for the updated version of Ruiner? I downloaded it at launch before it had new game+ added and the difficulty adjusted.

...

Prove me wrong

Xenoblade for the music mostly and then the environments. Never before had I played or even had the slightest interest in a JRPG.

Now I'm kinda addicted to the series. Music and areas in all of the games are some of my favorite in any game, and the stories in 1 and 2 are really effective at drawing you in.

Music highlights are
-You will know our names
- Night of Shimmering Fog
- Nopon Village
- Noctilum (day and night)
- Sylvalum (day and night)
- Minor boss battle (XCX)
- Where we used to be/ Elysium of the blue sky
- Awakening
- Battle music (XC2)
- Shadow of the lowlands (Night and day)

Location highlights are
- Satorl marsh at night
- Eryth Sea
- Sylvalum
- Noctilum
- Urayya (especially during a petal storm)
- Leftheria

Seriously, if you have any interest in RPGs but have no interest in the JRPG, just try out these games.

I have already, at the start of the year. Brilliant game, one of those things where I wish I could forget about it to experience it blind again.

I'm glad I can just start up the game and kill the main character by exiting. I'll be honest the remaster for not including the literal oneshot to complete the game. Other than killing the main character I don't like it.

2 is better.

I disliked Undertale's combat. The exploration and character stuff was cutesy fun, and it works in such a way as to reinforce the character development when things start getting serious – a very rare thing, especially in a video game, especially in a game that isn't ironic. However, the combat dragged things down for me. I hate that kind of gameplay and I'm bad at it. It's boring to me. I also have qualms with it in regards to design, as I don't think it fits the game's style. As a consequence, it took me months to beat the game. I basically just got to a boss fight and say "nah, I don't feel like doing this shit again."
The music kept me going through all of it. Obviously the music in this game is astounding, even if the game itself is just okay.
This song in particular really hit me and made me fall in love with the aesthetic of the game. I distinctly remember standing on that overlooking the valley with the house in the far distance, simply listening to this song.

Literally pajeet tier but I love these pictures

no fuck you


I'm sure Facebook or Reddit would have you.


This, it really shows how shitty the rest of the game is when you go genocide and there's no music. I expected autistic furry 2hus but instead I got autistic furry earthbound walking simulator with moments of warioware and homosexuality

You didn't mean it, so i had no reason to focus on it

Anything related to /monster/ is now furry because some faggots in the lol threads said so

Susumu Hirasawa's song on the Ruiner Soundtrack was S-tier. Jump to 03:56.

Nah, it's shit

Near: A Tomato

You can say the same of the old games.

Is that artist the same guy who did Vagabond?

Oh man. I can't fap to that shit but I would LOVE to see the average Tumblroid's reaction to it.


I just want to play this game. It looks super good.

this was before alien isolation was a thing and this didn't come out yet, the devs are awfully quiet too

Sad thing is I could actually tolerate it being a pseudo walking sim had it actually delivered on its story, how did they manage to fuck up "spooky goings on in a quiet woodland town"? It's one of the most lovable set-ups out there.


We get enough people on here defending Undertale to clue anons in that it has some merit to it.

NITW is better than life is strange but at least life is strange delievered on it's story and had an actual fucking climax

We also have recurring threads on Siege. Anons who have shit taste are extremely vocal.

Tokyo 42
A E S T H E T I C
Decent OST
Camera rotation was annoying at first but you get used to it.

Surprisingly fair-minded take on rust-belt politics and economics from this guy, I expected something a lot more shitlibby.

Half the reason why Darkest Dungeon is able to hold its own as a game is because of the art style and that beautiful NARRATOR
If it werent for that, and all it had was its soul-crushing RNG gameplay, it would not have done nearly as well

Its a good show with high production values, a sense of humor and its a lot of fun. Matt pat's a good guy, but hey that's just a theory.

I really like the look of 90s fps when it started to go 3d. So games like quake, stuff like that. Always does it for me.

Extra comfy

sage for no vydia

I wish kike in the hoods had more of this, it's there but not really emphasized other than the closed down buildings (which any city, even big have) the ravine with trash in it (ditto) and the closed down supermarket.

Well it does but its subtle about it. The only store that doesn't get more run down as the time progresses is the pawn shop, the mall is empty because the internets killing it and the opening is traversing a logjam nobody cared to clean up because the industry bugged out.

Read the comments. The antifa comments are pure gold.

This man speaks only truths.

The ending fucking sucked ass and the game was a huge letdown

Yeah, i'm sure i totally missed the political message in Plants VS Zombies and Terraria.

Plants Vs zombies is a commentary on how nature can protect us from the evils of man, and Terraria is a commentary on how the natural evil in the world only grows due to our interference.
Or I just made that up

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if at least one of the developers of both of those games actually believed that.

Undertale is extremely overhyped in my opinion, considering the fact that almost all the characters that get more than a few lines of dialogue are legitimately horrible people.
The entire game can't fucking decide whether it wants to be goofy and wacky or serious and emotional, so it tries to do both and fails horribly. It really tosses my mental dice to see people calling the game that shits on you for self-defense touching and a great example of story telling. I'm almost positive the guy who created this game is bipolar and doesn't know how to write characters because everyone in this game has the emotional stability of a plastic cup in a hurricane.

...

I don't undesrtand what happened in that crusader comic…Can someone explain to me please ?

If I had to guess, he left to join the army and protect his family, but war changed him. He either become a broken man who can only keep fighting, developed a strong zeal and was unable to go back, or the violence transformed him, and he realized he couldn't have a quiet life anymore.

The crusader left his familiy behind to perform some proper crusading. The fighting left him such a changed man he eventually decides he can never go back to his loving family again. He can't find his own love for them, or perhaps he feels like that love is no longer gods plan for him.
There are very few heroes in Darkest Dungeon that are there to survive.

You can also clearly see that he felt he made the choice to fight, and not that of a family, in his "hopeless" quotes. And that there is clear regret there, buried deep under religious dogma's and a desire to remove skeletons.

For truly, what desires dost man need have, but to remove skeletons.

The need to remove everything except skeletons

Hah, last I read on Kiwi farms he blocked Bob Chimpman because he thinks he's a "fascist elitist". Which makes perfect sense considering Bob rants about unwashed masses and IQ testing to weed out degenerates more than most deranged edgy baby boomer who discovered Holla Forums.

Didn't they nigga rip off Aphex Twin?

I think you accidentally that entire sentence.

Does feminazis stole my fuck-o have a kiwi farms thread or was it just mentioned in bob's?
