But DOOM wins best OST overall or riot

If it doesn't, Giant Bomb has gone soft

 

[Teddified]

Blood & Wine has a pretty good soundtrack.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Persona 5 actually had the best soundtrack of 2016.

 

[Meneses]

If there was justice in this world, Furi would win best soundtrack, but instead it's gonna be lame-ass Doom which just sounds like Quake 2's soundtrack remastered.

 

[Exterminieren]

Best Soundtrack should be Thumper.

 

[Data West]

I'd rather Quake 2's soundtrack remastered instead of indie synthwave ost #230

 

[oti]

and it's not even remotely close

LOOOOOOOOL

Alex: Let me play you the main theme of Civ-
Dan: *fart noise*
Alex: Ok, I don't want to fight for this.

 

[Antiwhippy]

The real robbery would be steins gate 0 not winning best story.

 

[Meneses]

Only way Doom's soundtrack could be more try-hard would be if it had Reaper's voice samples.

 

[Salarians]

for real though

yikes, this sounds terrible

 

[Incandenza]

Best Song of 2016

Certainly the best USE of a song, anyway.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Virginia low key soundtrack of the year tho.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Does it contain a lot of drop d?

Why you gotta crush my dreams with probable truth?

RASHIDOOOOOOOOO is pretty hype. I love the main menu/Ring of Destiny theme too. It goes full on Periphery at certain points.

Best part of the game tbh

 

[MadLaughter]

What games do I need to play to minimize spoilers in the best moment/story/character discussions?

Just took Infinite Warfare back to RedBox, that campaign was pretty awesome.

Titanfall 2 is top of my list, but what else should I make sure I've played?

Probably DOOM..

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Blood & Wine has a pretty good soundtrack.

I really dig that soundtrack a lot.

 

[LurkerPrime]

This game was in 2016's VGA nominees, so I think it's fair game:

Xenoblade Chronicles X: MNN+@0・(Part I) aka Ma-non Ship Theme

Titanfall 2, Doom, Inside, Superhot, and Firewatch are the big ones, going by that list on the last page. I imagine the other nominees will be gameplay related achievements, like "killed dat boss, yo" or whatever.

Maybe Uncharted 4 and GoW4 as well? AAA games seem to get mentioned by virtue of their marketing spend, it feels like.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Does it contain a lot of drop d?

Yes it's entirely composed by Fieldy.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Bah, it just occurred to me that the Austin hype made me skip this week's Bombcast for the Beastcast...

I need to hear Drew unloading a full clip into Stardew Valley for myself, or I'll never believe it.

that's pretty good

but it could use more yeahs

 

[LurkerPrime]

NLA Night has a weird sort of stockholm effect. The more you hear it (and you'll hear it a lot in the game) the more you'll end up liking it.

...I like it a lot.

 

[SomberOwl]

Hope all the ticketing sites don't collapse tonight.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Real talk: Civilization VI might have the best OST this year. And it's not just the amazing two Tin songs, the entire OST is fantastic.
Not that it'll win anything over at GB of course. It should, but it won't.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

lashback sounds like a move from pokemon s&m

 

[Liquid Shake]

Acid lashbacks are the worst.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

The way the music is connected to a civ's progress through time is genius. But of course DOOM will win. I heard it's Linkin Park or something.

 

[hamchan]

Dan was right about Tropical Freeze having the best soundtrack in 2014.

 

[Salarians]

there are a lot of slash writers in san francisco

 

[robotrock]

not when transistor exists

 

[xxracerxx]

I am so stoked for the Game of the Year discussions this year because there will be actual video of the deliberations. Excitement!

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Dan was right about Tropical Freeze having the best soundtrack in 2014.

It is absolutely the best service industry trainee instructional video/customer service on-hold soundtrack of 2014.

 

[Cross-Section]

Indeed. Hoping that the fact that Cinemark handles their own ticketing (as opposed to just going through Fandango like most chains do) pays off in the end.

 

[robotrock]

You guys are talking about star wars aren't you

So Tropical Freeze is vaporwave, is what I'm hearing.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Luftrausers folks.

yikes, this sounds terrible

I seriously cannot grasp whether or not this game is worth my time from screens like these.

 

[Archaix]

Titanfall 2 is pretty good, but it still has a lot of the things I despise about modern game design. I'm pretty sure that if you give me the ability to double jump and wallrun I'll forgive a lot of things that would otherwise be dealbreakers for me.

Fuck progression in multiplayer games though. And double fuck Respawn, because it's all their fault that this bullshit is in every game to begin with.

 

[Catvoca]

I seriously cannot grasp whether or not this game is worth my time from screens like these.

Steins Gate you mean? The main character is meant to be a complete loser that every other character rolls their eyes at, so it's easy to take screens of dumb moments out of context, but it's actually a really interesting story that you should totally play if you're willing to read a VN with no real "gameplay". I haven't tried Steins Gate 0 yet though.

Cineplex here in Canada does the same. So hoping the same. But last year they still had some troubles.

 

[Cross-Section]

You guys are talking about star wars aren't you

a star wars story

 

[Hindenblewp]

for real though

SMT4:A's OST blows STM4's out of the water, and that was an incredible mix of remixes and new compositions that were SMT to a T.

Easily my favorite this year.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I regularly forget Rogue One exists, and I really like Star Wars, Donnie Yen, and Mads Mikkelsen. Based on that, I should be a ball of anticipation for the movie, but I barely care.

 

[Twin Tails]

i like the planet coaster song

 

[Johndoey]

Oxenfree has the best OST of the year but no one played it, Watch Dogs 2 had the second best OST of the year but that will be ignored.

Its crazy their first non number Star Wars movie is side story that happens weeks before A New Hope in the timeline, is basically a fetch quest and we know how it ends.

 

[Salarians]

Almost 20 years ago!!

Oxenfree has the best OST of the year but n one played it, Watch Dogs 2 had the second best OST of the year but that will be ignored.

I honestly don't remember Oxenfree's soundtrack at all. WD2's music has been great so far.
