Saddest Videogame Music ever? Your Opinion.

[The chaser]

This is THE ONLY GAME SOUNDTRACK that had me almost to the tears.

But this...this made me come damn close to it. Probably as close as I'd ever get. It's actually when it plays in the game, more than the actual song itself.

I totally agree with you! The soundtracks are amazing. Maybe not when you just listen to them, but when you play the game, and immerse yourself into the game. She must've had it horrifying.

I really like the main theme, and learned to play it on the piano too. What is so special about this tune is that you start the game for the first time, and hear this xylophones, or metalophones, and think: "Huh, a simple tune... That's sweet". Later on, you might end up dying once in a while, and you end up at the titlescreen where this music is playing, and you remember it from last time you died, or from when you just started it, and you think: "Oh yea, the little music piece..."
At last, you finish the game and you sit back, breathing, while the ending cutscene goes. And then... Fade out... ... ... To the titlescreen where the main music plays. And I just sat there and heard the music that i had started with... This music followed you through the whole game, and now you're saying goodbye to it, as you have finished the game... Fantastic...

tl;dr
Seriously, try reading it... It's amazing music.

Off-Topic:
I'm thinking about making Ib into a 3D game, in the Amnesia-engine... Just for fun. I think it could be really cool! I'm just a little worried about the NPCs...

Every Dear Esther Soundtrack.

...but this thread is specifically for video game music.

I'm afraid "What are you listening to now?" Is the most appropriate place.

It's like I am the only fucking one who posted a NON-VIDEO GAME song

Go to page 3 and scroll down to the end

Using googolplex as an example is not acceptable; He's not negotiable anyway.

What are you trying to say?

At least I posted a decent song.

OK! Make a new thread called 'My favorite song' if you so want! I don't care, just don't derail this thread.

LOL, If I want I will post every damn song that I like on this thread, but I won't because it would take a long time.

Dude, what's the problem? While a few off-topic posts are not a big deal he has a very valid point. At the very least there is no reason to be so hostile.

Checkmate. GG. Everyone can go home now.






It's pretty hard to define a "saddest" video game song imo. Aside from the normal ambiguity of music, it can be interpreted either from the song alone, or rather how I see it, how well it fits the context of the game its coming from.

tl;dr shits sad

Mhhhhh... Binding of Isaac has some awesomely sad music too.
