Riding into Mexico the first time in red dead had me and my friends just in silent awe. It was so gorgeous. I happen to cross the river right as the sun was coming up. Chills!
Loved that Rockstar did similar things in RDR2. Riding back to camp after arriving home from Guarma listening to that music was epic. There's even two different mixes for high and low honor players
I was a good boy in my first playthrough... But I wanna go back and play the game as a complete and total bad boy so I can hear the different dialog...
UPDATE: I'm considering re-uploading this video with a better audio mix. I edited this video with headphones and the video game music examples seemed to have a good level on those, but the music is pretty dang quiet on TH-cam. Sorry about that. Think it's worth it?
11 months late but if you haven't heard Theophany's remixes of Majora's Mask tracks is top tier. *Especially* Final Hours Edit: upon Further Review -- Oath to Order blows Final Hours out of the water
Specifically KH1 menu. Too bad the first time i play KH1 is on the 1.5 remastered and i just learned that on the PS2 KH1 it was different albeit just a tiny bit.
When "Far Away" began playing in Red Dead Redemption, it was one of the coolest "nonscripted" moments I'd ever had in a videogame. And then the absolute madmen topped it with "May I? Stand Unshaken" in Red Dead 2. Fucking A, man
Music is so powerful, it's 99% of the nostalgia for me, I want to cry when I listen back to Majora's mask, Mario 64, rayman ost, even for the recent games like RDR1 or Witcher 3, I feel a lot of nostalgia listing to those soundtrack again
Pale Horse and the intro to the Ark were phenomenal. CE had under cover of night in T&R and Two Betrayals, which was perfect imo. 2 had the intro to the Brute betrayal as seen by Arby. So many wonderful tracks, damn
@@mauz791 what always gets me is in CE is the music that plays immediately plays after chief Finnish watching Jenkins camera feed and discovers the flood
@@liquidgarfield8523 oh shit yeah, the Flood theme. Good stuff. 343 guilty spark has a solid opening as well, no music, just darkness and fear. Personally, the reveal of the huge battle in Two Betrayals with under cover of night was my favourite
Far cry 3 I think it is has a mission where you burn a marijuana field to the tune of ganjaman by skilled it's one of my favorite gaming moments of all time.
Also thought of this immediately. There are some amazing Surprise Motherfucker moments in many amazing games, but I didn't expect Far Cry to catch me off guard (and it continued to do so with various things). Made it stand out, and it was cool as hell.
my friend's mother passed away before she was adopted by her father and one time she started to play ocarina of time and her father heard the title screen music and started to bawl. she told me later that her mother and father played it together as kids when it came out. rest in peace maria.
All of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s guitar tracks that you hear at a campfire are amazing. They express a wide array of tones from song to song, and my favorite part is that they are imperfect. There are times when the artist messes up, or when the fret buzz is insane, and those can sound pretty bad, but then you remember it's supposed to sound that way. It's not supposed to be a professionally produced track playing in the background, it's supposed to sound like a soldier weary from another day of barely surviving, sitting down at a campfire and playing a song. Someone who plays guitar just for fun, not someone who does it for a living.
You know what's up my dude, that campfire music is just so relaxing after a day of nearly getting sucked into anomalies and chased by bandits, it serves as a great time of reflection and lets you unwind.
I will always keep this game close to my heart. While it's true that in certain aspects the game does not compare to modern AAA titles, it carries some kind of feeling I could never perfectly describe just because it's captured so well to the point where it's pretty self explanatory.
Instantly smashed like at the first notes of Machinarium soundtrack. It's really satisfying to see someone else who also really appreciated this piece of music. Keep up the great work!
Man, you have some crazy analytical and story-telling skills. I discovered your channel literally yesterday and I pretty much binge-watched ALL your recent videos (except games should bang series). You have something special in you. I do watch quite a lot of gaming related videos, but I find your content something just very unique. 6:38, I haven't even played Splinter Cell Conviction. But I could immediately grasp the emotions and feeling that you wanted to convey. Great job noticing all this and sharing with us. Please, please do continue to make this kind of videos. Cheers! P.S. Now I can't stop crying because you ended with "By the wall". It's a song I always have in my phone but I NEVER play it just like that. It is kept reserved as a special! Glad to know it's your favorite too. :')
The one that gets me is on the mission "The Pillar of Autumn" on Halo: Reach, when you give Captain Keys Cortana and Emile dies and you haft to man the MAC Cannon, while you advance the music catches the emotions of being all alone and everyone is dead, there is no words that describe it. If you played the campaign you understand
Tyson W I watched the entire Reach campaign before it even came out, then I went on to play thru the campaign another 10+ times, if you missed out on this gem I honestly feel sorry for you
Surprised no one is mentioning how well DOOM 2016 utilizes music Because not only is almost every track memorable as fuck but it reacts to what the player is doing Some of the heavy guitar riffs will go perfectly in sync with you shooting and punching a demon in the face. it's great.
A-ok Gaming one of the best VG OSTs of all time, makes you feel like Doomguy. Also have you heard the genius of the track, Mastermind? It changes with strafing patterns that the game almost forces you into doing during the boss fight
Hollow Knight has an amazing soundtrack and I think it’s criminally underrated, but the same composer, Christopher Larkin is coming back for the sequel, Silksong, and 2 tracks have been released and it’s an amazing way to make the community super excited for upcoming game
This may be a weird example but I absolutely love that part in CoD Black ops where you're blowing shit up in a boat to Sympathy for the Devil. It adds so much to the action.
Mass Effect 2 had this track called Suicide Mission right at the final mission. All heroic and motivational. It was the first time I cried during a game.
The Legend of Zelda series has the best soundtrack in all of gaming in my opinion. It reminds me of going to my grandparents house when I was younger and just enjoying life in general, I don’t know why, but it really helps me relax and brings me back to simpler times
@@bonjolor8298 Open Your Heart His World Sweden World Of Light Live And Learn Those were songs from Sonic and Minecraft which are better than Megalovania. EDIT: And also Smash Ultimate.
that track, great as it is, has been recycled many time by different games. Heroes of might and magic IV(song name Wandering) , Medieval 1 (political map theme) and Mount and Blade. Each with their own small variation. Check them out.
Yeah. thanks to music in videogames im alive. Im gonna be making a video game where the music talks everything, and makes your heart cry blood, as my scars have been for all these years.
My best friend has similar goals, music is the most important element in videosgames to him. Hes told me he imagines the soundtrack as he plots out scenes, or even finds music on TH-cam to inspire him. That shit got me using my favorite artists as the music to write my fantasy series, it has made a lovely improvement :)
6:14 - What a moment! Mexico was such a refreshing change from the States. At times it felt like I would never get there since I was screwing around doing every side quest I could. But man, After completing Bill's compound and finally riding into Mexico and THAT happens, It felt like a new game.
Others listen to mainstream music by the popular artists and what not, using programs like Spotify and Pandora and all that. I have a custom offline playlist composed mostly of songs from various games that I love. I never get tired of hearing these things over and over again because it always makes me remember the emotions I felt when I first heard them. Few contemporary songs can elicit such an emotional response the same way that so many game songs can.
It's like hearing Midnas Lament and feeling sad yet pumped and worried as you run across Hyrule to save the one person you've grown emotionally attatched to.
The age of empires 2 theme always manages to bring back teary nostalgia of me and my dad playing LAN straight through the night. Video games really are a beautiful art form
I really love the music of The Last of Us! It fits the game so well and definitely gets your emotions going... The music really defines the game and I get goosebumps every time I listen to the soundtrack!
I'm glad Dire Dire Docks made it into this video. My all time favorite piece of videogame music hands down, and that's even with all the mind blowing shit from the Halo franchise on the table.
Thank you for playing Dire Dire Docks it almost brought to tears like the first time I heard it playing the game, all the songs in SM64 were a blast though. Keep up the good work Jakey!
One of my favorite moments in Saints row 3 is near the end when you have to choose how you end the game "I Need a Hero" Starts playing and it is perfect.
I love that you used Machinarium’s soundtrack. No other OST has had such a huge emotional impact on my gameplay experience... And “By The Wall” has always stood out to me as a breathtaking conveyor of the game’s particular ambience.
The World Ends With You gave me the greatest gaming experience I’ve ever had. The mixture of music, tight intense gameplay, and relatable story has never been matched in all 12 years since I’ve played it. Hell, it’s so good I’ve bought it two more times because of the iPhone port and Switch remake.
the score for the first dead space does a terrific job in building immense, really loud tension that leads to absolutely nothing. in the context of a horror game, its terrifying.
Thanks you for introducing me and the rest of your viewers to the sounds of Machinarium. I know what I'm going to be playing on repeat for the rest of forever.
The RDR moment also happens after a very intense shootout that honestly enhances the whole moment with the galloping sounds, the dawning desert, its just amazing.
I just found these video documentaries and I feel like I'm learning things. I'm seriously in love with this content right now. Where have you been all my life, man.
Watching this now as someone who has been actively composing music for my first video game for over a year now reminds me how impactful this video and so many others are. Jakey does a really good job describing the reasons all sorts of different songs work so well for their various uses. It reminds me what I’m shooting for with my work and what the ultimate goal of every person who makes video games is. I’m so thankful for Jakey and really all creators that do such a good job at presenting this type of thing and I hope it only leads us to having better and better video game creators in the future.
Honorable mentions: Power by Kanye West being played as the screen fades from black to showing you on a choppper about to go eliminate the head members of a gang and steal their safehouse at the start of Saints Row 3. Everything to do with Banjo Kazooie and Luigis Mansion where the overall melody stays the same but the instruments change seamlessly based on your environment.
Saint's Row's gameplay is a 5/10... but with the music it turns into a 10/10! It's incredible how much power (pun intended) the music gives you! Same with the incredible Spec Ops: The Line shootouts playing Rock&Roll in the backround, making you thing about the pride with wich the USA terrorizes weaker countries.
That moment in Splinter Cell Conviction is one of my favorite moments in gaming. I speedrun that game these days and it breaks my heart a little bit every time I have to perform the skips in that level since it completely skips that whole sequence. I wish games used music like that more often.
i rly appreciate link as the thumbnail bc zelda music not only saved my gosh dang literal life but has inspired me to create my own music and write stories
The scene in the bedroom where they are just listening to music is really emotional. I sat in my room with that song on for ages. It was a super gentle "surprise mother fucker"
When your hotboy drops a video, and it leaves your mouth open with awesomeness and tear filled eyes. I'm one of the people who wants peps to realize how important music is, and you just spread this message like a Hot Fire. Mad respect, bro. *joins palms* Om Shanti (That's Amen in Hindi)
I actually cry when I hear the opening track of Ocarina of Time. Masterfully written songs like that, or almost every game with Marty O'Donnell at the helm just immerse me into the environment.
i can’t BELIEVE you didn’t talk about the BioShock games during the world building section!! it’s one of the greatest uses of licensed music that I’ve seen to date, from hearing an instrumental Beyond the Sea as you explore Rapture to listening to Tchaikovsky as you fight Splicers in Sander Cohen insane artsy murder gauntlet. and that doesn’t even TOUCH BioShock Infinite’s INCREDIBLE covers of pop hits from the late 20th century, 1912-ified to both set the tone of the game and give some really subtle clues about the nature of a key plot device. it’s MASTERFUL music choice and it’s a darn shame more people don’t talk about it.
Going back through your video catalog the last few days has had me laughing like a fucking idiot... brilliant stuff brother, you deserve the Million Subs above 90% of the other overcrowded gaming genre shit out there.

"Treasured Memory" makes me feel very emotional as well

Doom2016 has probably the best example of Player Association in its music. Combat music ALWAYS fits the pace of the fight perfectly.
HQDefault thats how he designed the music
The World Ends With You gave me the greatest gaming experience I’ve ever had. The mixture of music, tight intense gameplay, and relatable story has never been matched in all 12 years since I’ve played it. Hell, it’s so good I’ve bought it two more times because of the iPhone port and Switch remake.
My favorite games music comes from the Halo, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Uncharted games. I also love the Mortal Combat theme.
does anyone know of a game that uses music to trick you? like playing saferoom music and then throwing a bunch of enemies to you
didn't expect to see you here.
metal gear games, read dead series, metal of honor airborne.
idk if this really counts but the Gwyn, Lord of Cinder boss fight music from Dark Souls reaaaaally took me off guard
the score for the first dead space does a terrific job in building immense, really loud tension that leads to absolutely nothing. in the context of a horror game, its terrifying.
Halo combat evolved
I would add the music from Persona 3, 4 and 5. Maaan, those are my jaaaams
Best game music ever is the first Nier. Not only is the score amazing, it is perfectly incorporated into the story telling.
Kingdom Hearts Dearly Beloved get me every single time. I don't know why but hearing it gets me all choked up in a beautiful way.
just started watching your videos. Made my week so much better keep up the good work :D
+Amber Enchantress thanks bud means a lot
NakeyJakey omg u replied lol. I'm a chic btw :)
NakeyJakey have you played the last of us? tge music 👌
The ballad of gay tony pause menu music is amazing
well i'm surprised. i would feel weird playing a violent game with this song
Such a good song,I sit there in the pause menu just listenin
@@gucci5320ballad of gay tony hasnt even been out for 10 years lol
Roxas No.13 actually yes it has....
@@047Kenny it was released on the 29th of October in 2009... its 2018.
Lest we forget about the somber soundtrack that was the backdrop for Halo 3: ODST. Such an underrated song while roaming New Mombasa
Eddie Mad lad!
H3 ODST sounctrack is amazing
This should be remade with JUST Zelda Breath of the Wild. It did EVERYTHING right with the music.
Could say that for a multitude of games
Nope, a lot of games are like that. Silent Hill 2 for example. So you can't make a video like this and use only one game as an example.
Batman Arkham City was awesome in that regard as well
Meh, it was alright. Other Zelda games did it much better though, namely Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, and OoT.
I think Nintendo are soundtrack kings.
How? All they do is make a catchy song and call it a day.
If that is all that you think, I can tell that you haven't listen to many (if any) Nintendo game soundtracks.

+aieden boy why am I "so wrong"?
aieden boy Have you ever heard Midna's Lament of any track of Super Mario Galaxy?
אריק סמוילה .You're very wrong Listen to some actual soundtracks of games, then come back talking about "a few catchy songs..."
Thanks you for introducing me and the rest of your viewers to the sounds of Machinarium. I know what I'm going to be playing on repeat for the rest of forever.
Machinarium is the best game in the entire world
The RDR moment also happens after a very intense shootout that honestly enhances the whole moment with the galloping sounds, the dawning desert, its just amazing.
Man, I’ve just discovered your channel last night, and cannot stop watching all of them! Such fantastic content!
dude your video quality is great and I'm surprised you only have 11,000 I'm gonna recommend you, dude
I am calling it, Jakey is going to easily have 50k in a few months. maybe more.
your probably right he is already close to 12,000
Well, you fuckin called it didn't you now?
Yep he definitely blew up.
I just found these video documentaries and I feel like I'm learning things. I'm seriously in love with this content right now.
Where have you been all my life, man.

And then Celeste came out with 3 damn soundtracks and all of them are absolutely INCREDIBLE
Watching this now as someone who has been actively composing music for my first video game for over a year now reminds me how impactful this video and so many others are.
Jakey does a really good job describing the reasons all sorts of different songs work so well for their various uses. It reminds me what I’m shooting for with my work and what the ultimate goal of every person who makes video games is.
I’m so thankful for Jakey and really all creators that do such a good job at presenting this type of thing and I hope it only leads us to having better and better video game creators in the future.
halo and mario had the best soundtrack of any video game imo
ayan egal Metroid prime
entire persona series my dude
Zelda?
Mass Effect? Deus Ex Human Revolution?
Elder scrolls and halo
The 'Grandma' after that first Samus rap makes me laugh every dang time.
Honorable mentions:
Power by Kanye West being played as the screen fades from black to showing you on a choppper about to go eliminate the head members of a gang and steal their safehouse at the start of Saints Row 3.
Everything to do with Banjo Kazooie and Luigis Mansion where the overall melody stays the same but the instruments change seamlessly based on your environment.
Saint's Row's gameplay is a 5/10... but with the music it turns into a 10/10! It's incredible how much power (pun intended) the music gives you!
Same with the incredible Spec Ops: The Line shootouts playing Rock&Roll in the backround, making you thing about the pride with wich the USA terrorizes weaker countries.
BK soundtrack is top notch
Jakey, I hope you never stop making videos. You make such great content! I hope you get the success and recognition you deserve!
Kingdom hearts 2 possibly has the best soundtrack out of any game ever
Always will be nostalgic.
true
Im YooPers of
castlevania symphony of the night has the goat soundtrack to me.
Im YooPers cough Dark souls cough Outlast cough Witcher cough
Some favorite video game music scores
Super metroid
FF VII
MGS
Journey
Mirrors edge
TES IV Oblivion
That moment in Splinter Cell Conviction is one of my favorite moments in gaming. I speedrun that game these days and it breaks my heart a little bit every time I have to perform the skips in that level since it completely skips that whole sequence. I wish games used music like that more often.
i rly appreciate link as the thumbnail bc zelda music not only saved my gosh dang literal life but has inspired me to create my own music and write stories
The music of The Last of Us is SO good
the Life is Strange soundtrack is crispy
phenomenal game
The scene in the bedroom where they are just listening to music is really emotional. I sat in my room with that song on for ages. It was a super gentle "surprise mother fucker"
It fits so well with the game. It really forms that atmosphere, and it's great.
the mention of jose gonzalez reminded me of the lis soundtrack. lots of great ones on there.
Acoustic guitar fits the atmosphere.
It’s been 3 years jakey, I’m waiting for the full album.
I'm surprised there was no mention of Kingdom Hearts. One of my favorite soundtracks of all time
Final Fantasy X has the most beautiful soundtrack I have ever heard.
When your hotboy drops a video, and it leaves your mouth open with awesomeness and tear filled eyes.
I'm one of the people who wants peps to realize how important music is, and you just spread this message like a Hot Fire. Mad respect, bro.
*joins palms* Om Shanti
(That's Amen in Hindi)
I actually cry when I hear the opening track of Ocarina of Time. Masterfully written songs like that, or almost every game with Marty O'Donnell at the helm just immerse me into the environment.
The snake eater moment is probably my favorite surprise mothafucka moment ever
I've always loved the patapon's series music, the way it perfectly meshed with the gameplay was awesome
When that tank theme played, I fully expected a roar and Rochelle saying "Ah shit, TANK!!"
i can’t BELIEVE you didn’t talk about the BioShock games during the world building section!! it’s one of the greatest uses of licensed music that I’ve seen to date, from hearing an instrumental Beyond the Sea as you explore Rapture to listening to Tchaikovsky as you fight Splicers in Sander Cohen insane artsy murder gauntlet. and that doesn’t even TOUCH BioShock Infinite’s INCREDIBLE covers of pop hits from the late 20th century, 1912-ified to both set the tone of the game and give some really subtle clues about the nature of a key plot device. it’s MASTERFUL music choice and it’s a darn shame more people don’t talk about it.
Going back through your video catalog the last few days has had me laughing like a fucking idiot... brilliant stuff brother, you deserve the Million Subs above 90% of the other overcrowded gaming genre shit out there.
