General gaming discussion

Retr0gamer

Right going to give this a go. A general gaming discussion thread. The rest of the forum seems to be dedicated to discussing just the big new games and games stories. Here you can just talk about whatever. What you have been playing at the moment, thoughts on it, what's better xbox or playstation. OK maybe not the last one.

Right to kick things off. Final Fantasy 12. I've let people know how much I hate this game in the past but I'm currently playing the recent zodiac age release and... actually enjoying it. I'm doing all the hunts and lots of exploring so I'm not as underlevelled anymore. The new job system is fantastic and way better than the free for all that was the original license board. You tend to use under utilised skills rather the Han nuking everything with the best attacks. Also it took a while but the battle system is starting to make sense and there's some good battles in the later half of the game. Takes a while to get theready though.

I still think the xenoblade games are a far better expression of the ideas in ff12 but it's not the **** show I orginally had it pegged as. The story is garbage though. Starts off great but once you hit Archades it's very obviously rushed.

Ancient China had fewer special combos and less elemental damage output, AFAIK. AI was better as well.

Just what china needs, another film about the unification of the three kingdoms into what would become modern china and using it as propaganda about how incredible china is if you follow the lead of the peoples party and their leader Xinny the pooh.

I wonder why they never make films or TV shows about their other great epic novel, The Water Margin, about an army formed by the people rising up against their government because they are a bunch or absolute cunts. Funny that.

I'd love if that was the actual tagline for a movie

I am soooo excited to watch that movie. It looks ridiculous, as it should!

I've been a massive fan of Dynasty Warriors since the humble 1v1 original.

Absolutely legendary...

Is there a Computer Game music thread? If not there should be.

I'll never miss an opportunity to post more game music. Far too many to link, but here are a few i love.

Thank you

I also have DW8 and DW9 on PS4 (forgot to put them in the picture) and I own a few of the Samurai Warriors games. I just love that series so much.

Annapurna's vhs wall is pretty incredible.

Some great posts in there. However, this is getting a repost...

"The Best Is Yet to Come" was written in Japanese by Rika Muranaka and translated into Irish by Bláthnaid Ní Chufaigh (from Echo Island?!?). The song was recorded at Beech Park Studio (Rathcoole, Dublin), Ireland, engineered by Philip Begley and produced by Muranaka. Declan Masterson, from Riverdance, performs some of the instrumentation.

I'm chuffed with the Irish connection I have to say.

Japanese Wind Waker Band Do Traditional Irish Music. Love this:

Thinking with all that sea shanty stuff recently ... Wind Waker could be very popular as a re-release

(edit) Throwing in Dragon Root Island too, picture quality 'aint great, but what a tune:

Mr Crispy

I want to replay Wind Waker now.

If anyone's interested I made a mix of some of my favourite video game tunes a few years ago. You can listen here: https://www.mixcloud.com/PlayerSelecta/player-selecta-vol1/

Featuring: Streets of rage, Rez, Metal Slug 3, Ocarina of Time, Hybrid Heaven, Space Harrier, Super Metroid, Sonic the Hedgehog, Resident Evil 4, Panzer Dragoon Zwei and Bloodborne

Playing Loop Hero.

Loop Hero is truly excellent.

Don’t play Loop Hero before bed if you value sleep.

That is all.

More importantly, how does it compare to Ace Combat 7?

Daredevil isn't in the OST so it's not as good by default.

Mario Galaxy soundtrack has to be on there ? Some of the best music every from start to finish in a video game, in my experience anyway.

No discussion on best game music from now on can proceed without AstroBot and "I'm your GPU"

This is great in its own right listening to it on YouTube, but in the final battle of the game with good headphones on, it’s gloriously atmospheric:

Thanks for posting these. I remember loving these versions, but hadn't heard them in ages.

Ori and the will of the wisps soundtrack ...

The FEELS !!!

If James Cameron put this stuff on a movie then RTE would even play it !

I think the second tune below made me buy an Xbox to play this game!
(after having played the first and devs saying it could never work on Switch)

And then it came out on Switch anyway, at 60 FPS too

I made that mix years before I had the pleasure of playing Galaxy but yes, the music in Galaxy is wonderful!

The chillwave vibes of Paradise Killer's soundtrack recently were a pleasure to soak in while exploring the weirdo island. Would be something I'd happily throw on as background music anyway.

Not only is Ace Combat 7 one of the best games in the last 5 years it's also got a god tier soundtrack:

Keiki Kobayashi's work on Ace Combat and the Armored Core series is so good. They actually delayed Ace Combat 7's release just so they could get that track into the game.
