#vgmwednesday

2 posts2 participants1 post today

I started Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name recently and just met Akame.
As soon as I opened the menu to talk to her this song came on and I said, "Well there's #VGMWednesday sorted"

Really digging the crispy synthy tracks in the latest RGG games.

It helps that Akame seems like a badass so far 😁

🇬🇧 And thus, we arrive at my last #VGMWednesday post for #HomeworldDesertsOfKharak, and what better way to round this off than with the song that plays at the closure of the game!
The lyrics in the DoK credits #soundtrack are actually taken from the Shiva Tadav(a), a religious hymn dedicated to Shiva, god of both creation and destruction in Hinduism - an extremely fitting choice, given what's to come in #Homeworld 1. (Source: see comments below the video)

🇩🇪 Und damit kommen wir zu meinem letzten #VGM Wednesday-Beitrag zu Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, und wie könnte man die Sache besser abrunden als mit dem Song, den man am Ende des Spiels hört!
Die Lyrics des DoK Credits-Soundtracks stammen aus der Shiva Tadav(a), einer religiösen Hymne, die Shiva gewidmet ist, dem hinduistischen Gott der Schöpfung und Zerstörung - eine äußerst passende Wahl angesichts dessen, was in Homeworld 1 folgt. (Quelle: siehe Kommentare unter dem Video)

As divisive as Mega Man 8 is, you can't deny that the OST is awesome. One track that really stands out is the Japanese opening theme. Every time I listen to this song; I always get excited for the awaiting adventure. The song's upbeat tone, paired with the animated intro's call-backs to previous entries, makes MM8 feel like one massive series finale. Since it's #VGMWednesday I thought it'd be neat for y'all to hear something exclusive to another region.

#VGMWednesday in the pursuit of greed we have given up everything. If your mind is not sheared or assassinated by now then you may be invited to an outer space tournament where you can win LOTS OF PRIZES!

Watch out for your opponents from behind with the A.S.S. Cam!

Play as a mutant, a cyborg, a um dominatrix, a reptile or the inexplicable COWMAN.

Get your money's worth in baubles ripe for any kleptomaniac to acquire, with various rarities and some just appearing at random so you'll constantly be scouring the map so you can finally escape. I'd buy that for a dollar! (Except you can get it for FREE from Red Shadow Software)

Attached is the first level music. Enjoy. Thank you very much Andrew Gregory Sega!

For #VGMWednesday this week I have Maple the Witch's Theme from the Oracle games. In the game on random map screens Maple will appear flying low on her broom, and if you get in her path you'll both drop a bunch of items. Then it's a scramble to see who can pick up all of the valuable ones first!

I don't know why she prefers to pick up bombs over rupees. You can buy bombs with the rupees girl!

So, considering I have been playing Radia Senki recently, a JRPG, I think it is a foregone conclusion on what music I will pick from this game for #VGMWednesday

If you took the punt and said the 『Battle Theme』you're absolutely right. If you play this game, you will be hearing this track A LOT. The encounter rate in this game can vary from a full length of a corridor to you raised your pinkie finger. At least the battles are relatively engaging with the real time combat, maybe I should say forcibly engaging 😅
But this isn't the venue for discussing gameplay! Back to the music.

Is it as good as the Final Fantasy battle theme... No. But it is still an appropriately energetic piece. I encourage people to check out other parts of the OST as it is. By and large, it's a pretty decent soundtrack.

#VGMWednesday This is the tune that occurs in my head. I mean that literally. My brain is best described as a frantic factory. I also like factory levels a lot for some reason.

Also you rescue the best Kong. Chunky Kong. My favorite cat has his personality, he's a wholesome chonker.

Right because the music is dynamic depending on where you are, here's the whole set.

For #vgmwednesday here is the OST from the #PlayDate season 1 #CasualBirder composed by Maxo.

While I currently priced out of getting a playdate, I was looking into it's sound capabilities and it is pretty robust. These tracks so a fantastic job of using sound samples that are invokative of bird calls. In the PlayDate pod cast, the composer said this was an intentional decision to add a bit of audio world building.

It sits somewhere in the Animal Crossing vibes, but with a jazzy complexity that is it's own thing. And he bird bits are a neat touch. Scream Bloody Birder is especially catchy with that slappy saw bass line.

🇬🇧 It's #VGMWednesday again, and to show off some more of the variety the #soundtrack of #HomeworldDesertsOfKharak has to offer, today's track will be "We must help the Siidim".
Although the Siidim may not be the most... popular kiith, I do like their music very much. (In general, I love how every faction has their own "character instruments".) And this track just perfectly encapsulates the urgency of rushing to the aid of an ally under attack.

🇩🇪 Es ist wieder #VGM Wednesday, und um ein wenig mehr von der Vielfalt des Soundtrack von #Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak vorzustellen, ist der Track des heutigen Tages "We must help the Siidim".
Obwohl die Siidim vielleicht nicht der... beliebteste Kiith sind, mag ich ihre Musik sehr gerne. (Allgemein finde ich es toll, wie jede Fraktion ihre eigenen "Charakterinstrumente" hat.) Und dieser Track fängt perfekt die Dringlichkeit der Situation ein, einem unter Angriff stehenden Verbündeten zu Hilfe zu eilen.

So, sometimes I make a mistake with #VGMWednesday as when I play things, especially on the deck, I don't necessarily have the sound on. Which means I have to trawl through the OST of a recent game to find something of interest. This happens more often than you think.

Anyway, today, we have a decent little track from Kingsley's Adventure. This is the music for Sea Town, the first town you go to help out, and honestly, I dig it. It's quite a jam, and I need to remind myself that almost NOTHING happens in Sea Town. A lot of the towns don't have a lot going on, oh well, doesn't diminish the track.

[Addition: I say nothing happens in Sea Town, I forget that the first dungeon of the game is an extension of the Sea Town area. So the music probably carries over into that section]

The game also has some other pretty solid tracks for a relatively average game with platforming issues.
