both minecraft soundtracks are great

I always think the Final Famtasy games have amazing soundtracks

Descent 2 had awesome electronic music.  It was REALLY atmospheric for flying around the mines.
Portal and Portal 2 have terrific songs with lyrics.
Metal Gear Solid had some good stuff, too.

I absolutely love Metal Gear Solid: both the game and the soundtracks.  The whole franchise is The Boss!  (Maybe except for Revengeance)

What was wrong with Revengeance?

I feel that Revengeance moved away from stealth action to more of a slash-and-hack style of gameplay.  It's just my opinion.  Nothing much.

That was the whole point of MGR. To break away from stealth so that Metal Gear as a series could expand.

- Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver Versions (DS)
- Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Versions (DS)
- Pokemon Red/Green/Blue/Yellow (GBC)

Come on. OR/AS has to be on that list, simply for Wally and Zinnia. And do not forget Black and White. N's farewell and Alder's encounter theme are some of the best songs in the entire series. And then there is X/Y with Kiseki. What does D/P/P have to offer against that?

Yeah, but as a WHOLE OR/AS doesn't do it for me as an absolute all-time favorite. X/Y is close but it needs to age a bit before I declare it amazing. "Professor Sycamore" and "Friendship Forever Theme (Music Box)" are amazing at least ;0

It is just that I do not really recall any theme from Gen4 as memorable. Gen1 has the whole being the original, being the most-used region and generally being played more than any other game in its favor as far as memorability is concerned. Gen3 has the drought/deluge themes and some amazing pieces of route music. Gen5 really started the amazing character themes. In my opinion, Gen5 stands out as the generation that does characters best. Musically, but also narratively.

-KI OST: is really good. the metal effect and tempo of the songs are just well placed.
-Mass Effect OST: just unforgettable and really encapsulates a spacey feel
-Kingdom Hearts OST: has a track for basically all situations

My two favorites are the fallout franchise soundtracks, and Phoenix Wright franchise great music in each.

Yo, @Delta & @Glitchy000 ...y'all might wanna check out this series of episodes of a video game music podcast I listen to called, "VGMpire".

[MJ]

Skyrim is still the game that has the best soundtrack, for me at least. Skyrim or The Last of Us.

[Formanr42]

I guess i would say that Undertale, Persona 3, Persona 4, Paper Mario TTYD and Fallout New Vegas have my favorite soundtracks.  Undertale is just...amazing, the Persona series has an interesting medley of sounds to the music, Paper Mario has just good Nintendo style music and FNV has that old country and jazz radio that i can listen to for hours on end.

After years building up the courage to play OFF, I finally did it and in the end I found an amazing track:

My all time favorite video game soundtracks are, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Bayonetta 2, Star Fox Assault and Final Fantasy VI. I'm very classical in a way.
