Metroid Prime. All the music fits so perfectly to the environment, especially Phendrana drifts when you first discover the location.

Wow… so many choices. Skyrim is a great shout.

I remember hearing the Halo soundtrack for the first time was incredible so feel I have to go with that.

Other worthy mentions:

  • Street Fighter II
  • Civilization (theme tune to be fair)
  • Horizon

It’s mental to me that most console games still don’t let you change the controller bindings like you can on PC.

TychoRC,

Yes! I almost always change a few of the buttons when I get the chance. Extra points if the game is nice enough to let you know when your changes conflict with other presets.

tal,

A lot of PC games let you change mouse and keyboard bindings, but not controller bindings, because they have “keyboard and mouse mode” or “console mode” if the controller is used.

I’ve got no problem with having a sensible set of defaults, but if I get a controller with more buttons, unless this is a competitive multiplayer game that needs a level playing field, I’d like to be able to take advantage of them.

saigot,

Steams controller rebinding tools are a real killer feature.

tal, (edited )

Yeah, but if that’s the only way a game developer implements it, they’re tying themselves to Steam. I mean, if I were a game developer, I wouldn’t want to do that, as it’s a lot of lock-in.

I think that Valve’s service is a pretty good one, but they’re taking a 30% cut for doing a number of things for game developers. If they become the only game in town, it’s possible that they might start taking more than 30% and those developers are going to be kind of stuck with that.

It’s common across games, so it doesn’t make sense for game devs to reimplement the wheel, but I’d think that putting as much as possible in the game engine would be a reasonable place.

flameguy21,

Not being able to bind the controller on PC is even more insane to me. Why can I change my entire keyboard layout but not change the controller AT ALL?

Conversation logs (for the games where they make sense). I loved having this available in Dragon Age: Origins and it helped me remember my rationale for doing specific things. Also was just fun to read back through.

Some favorites of mine:

Sonic (just about every game in the series): even during the “dark age of Sonic” ('06 through Unleashed) and in flops like Forces, the one thing the series has consistently gotten right is the music. Jun Senoe will rarely steer you wrong.

Ace Attorney (also the whole series): has it all - some fun melodies, tracks that fit the mood whatever it might be, great character themes, and just about every Pursuit theme is an awesome hype track.

Octopath Traveler (the original): I love the instrumentation, more wonderful themes for characters as well as locations, and the Battle II music has to be my favorite battle music in any JRPG ever. I’m a sucker for good string music.

Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga. Kirill made the most fantastic OST…

Second place is for Megaman Zero series I think. I still listen to those tracks to this day while running.

Always enjoyed Skyrim’s soundtrack, but while I love it, I still enjoy and prefer Oblivions soundtrack more.

Oblivion was my introduction to the Elder Scrolls universe and the music from that game has kinda become embedded in my mind. Just my general go to music for fantasy environments including for DND or Pathfinder sessions.

I love Morrowinds music too, but if I had played Morrowind back when it first came out, I would have ranked it’s soundtrack higher than Oblivions.

Einhander and Rise of the Triad have some of the greatest music to have ever been packed with a video game, hands down.

OG StarCraft. Terran theme is an absolute classic.

Also, BFG Division from Doom.

  • The option to skip puzzles and not get punished for it.
  • Independent difficulty options for things like exploration, combat, crafting, etc. Whatever the game has.

Skyrim's a nice choice.

If I had to pick one... Katana ZERO. Nice mix of genres, really emotional soundtrack, lots of synthwave type electronic, all of the artists who contributed songs really put work and passion in there, they work excellently for the game, and are awesome to listen to in their own right outside of the game.

@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

I really wish they had put out a 60fps patch for Wildlands.

I actually like them both, honestly. They are different games, and Breakpoint by the end (when I started playing it) really wasn’t that bad. The setting was maybe just kind of un-inspired.

Overall Wildlands is probably the better game, for sure, though.

    Will I play them? No way! Will that stop me from claiming them? No fucking way!

    I want to be able to adjust the volume of the rain apart from everything else. Yes, I know a lot of games have an “ambient sounds” slider, but it usually includes other sounds too like Thunder, wind, animal sounds, and other stuff. I just want to make the rain louder. Rain is almost always too quiet in games, and it’s a tragedy.
