Shenmue Dojo

Sega's finest... I miss this era.

I downloaded Yakuza 0's Soundtrack the other day and think it may be the best OST in the series yet. So many "HYPE" and "INTENSE" music tracks. Here's a couple of my favourites:

Stumbled upon this gem. It sounds so good played by a real orchestra.

Keishi Yonao

ultra good

More PC-88/98 music exploration. This track is great.

People can trash genesis music all they want but some games had some great music on it.

Who's been trashing Genesis music?
Only time I ever hear it actually being "trashed" is either when it comes to the occasional multiplatform game (people tend to prefer the soundtrack in the SNES version of Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, for example) or just when it truly deserves it (random cash-in games tended to have annoying sound work, but that's the same on any console working with a dedicated sound chip).
Anyone trashing it can suck a veiny donkey dick, because these are some of the greatest pieces of videogame music ever made:

1993 was a very good year.

Dunno, I've seen a lot of people trashing genesis music overall. Fuck em.

Off the subject, if you like animal crossing music, there's a cool chrome plugin that lets you play the current hours music with the click of an icon. You can choose from the original, wild world/city folk, new leaf, or new leaf snow music. I guess it can play K.K. songs on saturday night too. It's really nice.

I only wish it had the option to play the rain music from the original too.

I have a lot of nostalgia for these games, and looking back they probably weren't all that great, but they had some things that I really enjoyed. I like mmo culture, as weird as that sounds, as I used to play a lot of mmo's in my youth (mostly smaller ones) and enjoyed the psuedo-second-world-esque culture in them. Of course, I don't know if it's the result of modern mmos being lame as fuck (thanks to wow) or me simply outgrowing the genre/not having the time I used to have when I was 10, but I don't even want to bother playing an mmo ever again.

.hack is not an mmo, but it emulates one (sorta). I loved the whole mail system of this game where I could e-mail my party members and have small conversations and such (not to mention the fake bulletin board system), and the music is amazing, but ultimately it's very repetitive game with shallow combat and an ok at best story. I'll likely keep them just to "log-in" occasionally and relive my youth, but I wouldn't recommend them unless someone is wishing to relive the feel of early 2000's mmorpgs.

P.S. Listen to the above song all the way through because the middle gets really interesting with the weird guitar sounds

I played the first game a year or two back and enjoyed it up to a point. Then it just got really, really repetitive. I liked the fake MMORPG atmosphere they were going for and think the series is pretty damn unique. It's a really cool concept and I would have loved to play the G.U series, since that looked like that very concept greatly improved upon. I've been hoping they would put the G.U games on PSN (since we never got those games here in the UK), but since that isn't happening, guess I'll have to play it via other methods.

A bit different from the Vangelis version. Think I played this game before I saw the film, never finished it, will download it at some point.
