You can do an Amazon gift card. Pretty sure they’ll find whatever platform redeem codes they need there.

Outer Wilds takes the cake for me.

Wilzax,

That game takes the soundtrack cake for any category it has an entry in

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.

MuThyme,

Pretty much any halo has the best menu music to me (I haven’t played 5 though).

There’s a lot of variety between them all too

Off the top of my head, either Ecce Valde Generous Ale (Behold the Precious Wings) from Panzer Dragoon Saga or the one in Trails from Zero.

Grimpen, do gaming w What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness?

Interplay, Microprobe, Sierra On-Line, Bullfrog, Dynamix, Origin, all long gone.

Activision is still around, but it’s something completely different. Same with Atari (although theres a nostalgia brand now, so maybe back).

Of them all, I think is have to say I’m most nostalgic for Sierra On-Line, although Origin gives them a run for most nostalgic.

Dynamix’ Earthsiege was such a magical thing back then. So were Bullfrog’s Syndicate, Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper. Many, many years ago when Peter Molyneux was not a dumbass but gave us gems like Populous and Black&White.

The list of games that EA has destroyed is long.

Grimpen,

I loved Earthsiege! IIRC I got the game with an expansion card (STI Lightning 128?), and it really was fun playing with my first flight stick, a CH Products flight stick.

aksdb,

Westwood fits into that list.

I worked for Interplay back in the 90s. It was pretty great for me, launching my IT career. Working in QA did temporarily ruin my ability to play games for fun though.

The theme to the original Tomb Raider: youtu.be/fIWLT0QVPzw?feature=shared

I hope they keep this for the remaster, for the full nostalgia effect.

In which era? For me it all started with Combat on the 2600 and I’ve been a vidiot ever since.

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

Not main menu but the MGS V deployment music while you’re picking out your gear really gets you amped for your next mission. (from 1:10)

Psygnosis, later known as Studio Liverpool.

Sony shut them down a few years ago. Man seeing that old owl logo hits me hard in the nostalgia bone.

BlameThePeacock,

Harmless games, also bought and shut down by Sony.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

They seem to consider only massive franchises like GoW and TLoU and Horizon worth their time… But most gamers need variety outside the mainstream game genres, so I don’t see why they are shutting down anything with a smaller fanbase.

Telorand,

Maybe those smaller teams create tools or assets (or maybe it’s the team itself) that they want.

Capitalists can’t let anyone have fun when there’s profit to be made.

Gumus,

I’ve been using that as a ringtone ever since Orange Box came out

deegeese, do gaming w What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness?

MicroProse and Sierra Online were my faves

Telorand,

I always forget about Sierra, and they were good, too!

Squaresoft, Bioware, and Bethesda are three companies whose logos I once considered a seal of quality. None of the three really exist anymore, although there are new much larger companies using their names.

dewritoninja,

Bethesda game studios is the same studio as always, just under Microsoft

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

Many good ones here already. Another memorable one for me is Metal Gear Solid 3.

Definitely the kind of game where you stay too long in each menu because you don’t want to cut off the music
