Psygnosis simply for Drakan. I recently replayed it and it holds up pretty well, even if the melee combat as Rynn is a little clunky.

Another one, who is still around and very successful in their niche, is Egosoft. X4 at release was a little so-so, but mostly due to performance issues and me being spoiled from years and years worth of mods for the previous games (but also, without any of the really good DLCs, only three of the six or so factions are in the game).

Bullfrog for Populous and Dungeon Keeper (ruined by EA).

Troika for Arcanum and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (ruined by Activision).

Infocom hands down. Pure escapism

TheMinions, do games w Whats your favorite Main Menu music?

I’ll go with Mass Effect, the music in the first 3 games is incredible. Especially in the first game I think. This particular piece is called Vigil.

Here’s the not hour long version haha.

v4ld1z,

Dude, I only just played the games for the very first time earlier this year and I absolutely feel what you mean. It’s the very first piece of music you hear when you start the game, is used throughout the trilogy in pivotal moments, and is the very last theme that plays in the third game. So awesome

TheMinions,

Oh yeah. Leitmotifs are very effective at tying a story together and really help add some punch to those emotional moments.

I absolutely adore Mass Effect. It’s probably my favorite game ever. Top 3 at least.

v4ld1z,

I do see that the narrative and the gameplay have some flaws, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the games and the ~100h it took me to finish the trilogy. The Citadel DLC was probably my favourite part of the entire series. I’d also probably put the games in my top x favourite games.

Skyrim and RuneScape 2 (pre-audio update) are both pretty damn iconic

At my wedding we had the DJ play Skyrim and Witcher 3 music during dinner and it worked way better than it had any business working

Some the Witcher 3 combat music is actually wedding music I believe, so that checks out.

Skyrim for sure, nothing gets you more prepared to start a new adventure than that.

Honorable mention to the Last of Us after you’ve completed the game and are just sitting there, staring at the screen and wondering what to do next.

Cocodapuf, do games w Whats your favorite Main Menu music?

The correct answer is Civilization V Gods and Kings.

Neversoft, Rareware, Sega, Activision, EA, and Bethesda created a lot of great memories from my childhood. Neversoft is defunct, Sega still makes some decent stuff but nowhere near what they did in the 90s, EA is EA, and the rest are now owned by Microsoft... so...

I just got THPS3 for windows (from Neversoft) running on my Ubuntu pc yesterday. So much fun, I find a way to play it once every ten years or so.

THPS1 and THPS3 are untouchable masterpieces. The Tony Hawk license never faltered when they were in charge.

WildTangent and FATE specifically lol i never got past like level ten

Telorand,

Oh, WildTangent! I’ve only played Plants vs. Zombies from them.

TonyHawksPoTater,
@TonyHawksPoTater@kbin.social avatar

Small misconception, PvZ was created by PopCap. WildTangent was just a service on which to play games. I remember so fondly using my limited free tokens to play Polar Bowling; it really was just the best.

Don't know if you're aware, but FATE is available on Steam. Relive those memories, boss.

I dont remember the name of it, but you flew around in a blue spaceshit type thing. I think the story involved you being in some futuristic scifi navy/army. One word I can remember being said a lot (i think your wingman or something said it sometimes when you got a kill) is “Casbah”.

Its not a lot but I was very very young, and played it on my uncle’s PC over a summer while I was visiting my relatives abroad. If anyone has even remotely any idea what Im blabbering about please tell me 😂. Ive been occasionally thinking about it for years.

Skua,

Oh shit that was Battle Engine Aquila. I loved that game

DmMacniel,

That game came bundled with my ATI Radeon 8600 XT. It was such a cool game.
