That’s why I think they’re great. Good standalone songs put in a fitting context.
Bought and played NFS heat recently. Game was surprisingly good, music, however had too much hip-hop/pop and stuff like that for my taste so that was disappointing.
Really basic, but Mario Kart DS specifically. The gameplay does not do it for me, but the way it sounds coming out of the DS’s Speakers sounds amazing. Though, Mario Kart 64 & Wii are probably really close for me out of sheer nostalgia.
I shopped around gog and found xiii, street racing stndicate, underrail and alan wake. I started ubderrail and ive been getting clobbered by everyone but its fun. I play it on deck and pc, using heroic to sync saves.
Did you get XIII classic or the remake? I played classic just recently as a fun retro game that I missed back in the day. It’s got so much style, even though some levels felt a little clunky. It’s a shame no other game went for the same art style, they really nailed that look of “play in the panels of a comic book”.
Just finished Mafia 1 DE and 2 DE. Taking a breather before I dive in 3, which I suppose will require a lot of patience.
I really enjoyed 1 and 2. They’re anti GTA in some senses where there’s basically little to no fluff or sandbox, just pure story telling and some gameplay on the side. But the stories are definitely so well written. The DLCs of 2 showed signs of GTAfication, and the first 30 mins of 3 also reek of it, but I feel the first two definitely feel timeless only because of their writing.
Does the definitive edition still have the music of the original? I know it’s technically anachronistic, but those Django Reinhardt tunes were so iconic.
Otherwise I agree, though I only played Mafia 1. I remember it came out the same year as GTA 3, and it was very much the sort of mature and serious option. I personally always preferred it.
While not a racing game in the traditional sense, the soundtrack for I Am Your Beast is what cocaine sounds like. Listen to Negative Time without vibing, I bet you can’t.
