Ori and the Blind Forest has a great track throughout, but the menu is definitely a highlight.

So many great remixes of it too.

The Ghost Recon theme has been stuck in my head off and on ever since it came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwLIHqkqHcw

I didn't even play the game that much -- I think I beat it once, played the multiplayer a little, and moved on. But the music is catchy.

Sm64 file select, lol

[–] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The theme to the original Tomb Raider: https://youtu.be/fIWLT0QVPzw?feature=shared

I hope they keep this for the remaster, for the full nostalgia effect.

Not main menu but the MGS V deployment music while you're picking out your gear really gets you amped for your next mission. (from 1:10)

[–] cradac@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

The Elden Ring Main Menu theme has always impressed. It sets the stage very well.

If I think of main menu music only one other game cones to my mind and that's Doom Eternal. I'm not sure if it's necessarily a "good" main menu theme, but the whistling definitely stuck with me.

I don't remember if it was in the main menu/what the main menu was, but if you walked onto your balcony in the PC game version of Blade Runner, Vangelis' Blade Runner Blues would play, mixed in with the rain and the sounds of the city. I spent a lot of time just standing on that balcony and letting the music play.

Fallout 3. Gives me frission every time I hear it.

Sayonara Wild Hearts, not surprising since the entire game is full of beautiful music

I always loved the Legally Distinct Massive Attack - Angel from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Rik Schaffer was on fire for that whole soundtrack.

I use the F-Zero start screen tune as my alarm clock.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Uncharted 2 main theme for me... So short but so damn good.

[–] LewZephyr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Depends on what mood I'm in.

Currently I'd like to chill, I'm pretty tired, maybe eat an edible if I had one.

So right now I'd have to say the Mass Effect 1 menu music: https://youtu.be/3GXVXYl3_8c?feature=shared

There used to be a mix I would fall asleep to several years ago. It was the engine humming mixed with the occasional beeping and status tones like a computer on the bridge, and the main menu music would play very softly every few minutes. Can't find it anymore, although there are several of those each individually in hour long mixes.

If I want to get pumped though, doom 3 is a good one:https://youtu.be/rs0cSUIKKew?feature=shared although for actual main menu looping music, I'm going to have to agree with GONADS125, battlefield 1942 never fails to get me up and moving. It's a very driving song.

Xenoblade Chronicles!

[–] squirrelwithnut@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Metroid Prime or Mass Effect

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Off the top of my head, either Ecce Valde Generous Ale (Behold the Precious Wings) from Panzer Dragoon Saga or the one in Trails from Zero.

Watch dogs 2

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 1 points 2 years ago

Body Harvest on N64 was great, and doesn't get the usual praise. Used to just leave this playing on loop back in the day

I couldn't get the piped link to work. 🤷‍♂️

IXION is definitely mine. If you skip through that video a bit, you can hear some more music when the Prologue begins to play. Such an amazing game!

Need for speed 2 from 1997 has an amazing soundtrack https://youtu.be/69-J2m_GyhI?si=WkJGAFCphXHxusPe
