I’ve been absolutely loving the new EUV soundtrack. They absolutely did justice to EUIV (also incredible soundtracks)
Idk about later installations, but ‘Europa Universalis II’ straight up had medieval music recreated by modern ensemble Joculatores Upsaliensis.
Lazarus, it was an anime written by the same guy that made Cowboy Bepop. It was alright, but they hired Bonobo to do the soundtrack for it and it’s just amazing…
yugioh the movie
starfield’s soundtrack is absolutely jaw dropping, probably zur’s best work yet
Remember Me. See for yourself:

If I remember correctly, they blew too much budget on the orchestra and it affected the game quality.
The ‘80s Conan the Barbarian film with Arnie.
Utterly awesome soundtrack by Basil Poledouris.
Depending on who you ask, Tron: Legacy.
(I personally love the movie and rewatch it every couple years but it didn’t do well, IIRC.)
I murdered a lot of reapas in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer to some of those songs.
| Depending on who you ask, Tron: Legacy.
The last real Daft Punk release.
True, the soundtrack single handedly elevates it - there’s not much without that.
Rinzler’s my fav, tiny gods it’s still so good. Thanks for the share.
End of line 🤌
Depending on who you ask, Tron: Legacy.
The movie was OK, but I vastly prefer the original. It has a certain 80s “Gee whiz aren’t these newfangled computers the greatest” feeling that you just can’t recapture.
Weirdest Sheridan and Londo fanfic I’ve ever seen. 👍

Sucker Punch arguably would have been a better film if they went full Daft Punk and didn’t bother with actual dialogue.
The Legend of 1900
The fountain (2006). The soundtrack was partially produced by the band Mogwai.
You thought it was mediocre? Man, that’s one of my favorite movies.
Same. Did you know that all the nebulas and other space stuff, pretty much all the cgi, is not cgi? It’s images of things taken through a microscope. The bubble around the tree for example is a single cell. So cool.
I think without the score it would be mediocre. The music is why I love the movie so much.
Love the movie and love Clint Mansell scores. Didn’t know about Mogwai and that’s dope! Only just recently discovered them.
To Live and Die in LA soundtrack by Wang Chung is arguably better than the movie.
I want to mention like three different games, but for each one someone would rightfully come after me for saying the game itself is mediocre. So I’ll just say I personally love these games, but I see with pretty clear eyes that aspects of them haven’t stood the test of time.
Mirror’s Edge, The Neverhood, and Yuri’s Revenge all have amazing soundtracks.
And after that disclaimer if you still try to pick a fight about how they’re not mediocre games, I’m going to also pretend I’m fighting the person who called them mediocre and then crawl out of our cartoon fight cloud.
Why specifically Yuri’s revenge?
The Neverhood is a flawed gem, one of those fantastic point&click adventure games that have some of that moon-logic malaise so common in Sierra games, up to an absurd point.
Yet every other aspect of the game is polished and fantastic enough I would recommend it with enough warning.
I would definitely not call it mediocre, it is anything but that, it is also in retrospective a worse “game” than some contemporary titles like Broken Sword or ToonStruck.
That’s just it - the writing, animation, music, the art direction, the voices - all stunning. But, the gameplay lets it down. What makes a mediocre game for me is, if watching someone else play a thing is a preferable experience, it’s not such a good game - speaking strictly of the “gameplay” aspects of the work.
I could catch a lot of flak from this opinion but I wonder if Cyberpunk 2077 could fit in this category: I have probably something around 100 hours in that game just because I like going around in the city and there’s some great writing, both for the main questline and even some random side-quests. But as much freedom I have from choosing how I want to deal with a mission, neither combat nor hacking is fun IMO. Hacking feels more like an overpowered magic ability that if you put enough points into it, it lets you cheat the game, and fighting is mostly a big mess, be it physical or shooting.
I should give it a go sometime, or at least listen to the OST.
Just started another playthrough of catalyst after 5 years, absolutely serene soundtrack. Sure the game has issues but it’s for sure one of my favorites
Yuri’s revenge isn’t even close to being mediocre tho, it was an amazing addon for an already amazing game.
Never played Yuri’s Revenge, but the first two are certified bangers. I need a Neverhood Remaster.
With C&C, my sense that those games are somehow below par come mainly from a perception that RTS is a largely dead genre.
According to this list, the annual release count peaked around 2000, but RTSes are still coming out at a decent clip, maybe half the rate as they did then.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_real-time_strategy_video_games
Some thoughts:
-
The genre as it ran in its heyday was really aimed at keyboard+mouse play. I don’t think that it translates incredibly well to mobile or console. I remember trying to play Supreme Commander on a gamepad and not really liking it.
-
Depending upon how one classifies games (the above list appears to treat real-time tactics games as a subgenre, which I wouldn’t), some real-time strategy games might go into a different bucket, the real-time tactics genre.
-
I think that RTSes gave birth to some child genres, like MOBAs, that to some extent compete for marketshare.
-
There were a lot of 2D RTSes that came out around 2000. I mean, it was something of a glut. I think that it was just a good match for the game hardware and computer capabilities of the time. But…you’d kind of expect some subsequent decrease if that’s the case. Other genres have had similar booms based on being a good match for the hardware of the time. For example, third generation consoles and fourth generation consoles saw a huge number of side-view 2D platformers, because they were a decent match for what the hardware could do. There are still modern side-view platformers that come out, but it’s a far smaller percentage of the game market than it was then.
-
Terry Scott Taylor has an incredibly deep back catalogue on his Bandcamp page - some pretty middle of the road, and some totally weird, worth having a rummage and seeing what you get… For those who don’t want to play lucky dip, there’s the full soundtrack to Neverhood, plus a couple of related albums (Songs from the Neverhood Vol 2 which was the platformer sequel, and Return to the Neverhood - which was released as a companion to the graphic novel).
I was honestly remiss in not mentioning him, his bandcamp is a treasure trove.
Not exactly the soundtrack, it was fine, but nothing special and overall forgettable
But I want to give a small shout-out to Morbius for having really good sound mixing. I definitely expected it to be a “whispers and explosions” kind of movie where you couldn’t hear the conversations, and action scenes blew your eardrums out, and the background music was all over the place
But no, everything was at a reasonable volume, I could hear everything crystal clear.
There was just nothing worth hearing unfortunately.
Expedition 33
What about it was mediocre?!
Didn’t like how the plot hooks you in with Gustave & Lune having to deal with a world on the brink of the end, and then it becomes Verso & Maelle having to deal with family drama. Massive disappointment.
Pearl Harbor
