Best Video Game OST - Round 1 Bracket 2

[Goodman Grey]

Some of these songs moved me. Especially that Nier Automata one, I'm saving that one

@Shimotsuki Ghostly you missed my synopsis

@Shimotsuki Ghostly you missed my synopsis

I forgot to add them in sorry LOL! The confusion over the Nier Automata entry made me forget lol.

 

[Adam 🍎]

Man, I need to get better hardware and play through the whole AC franchise

tbh Odyssey is pretty damn good. People shit on a lot but IMO best AC since Black Flag, plus awesome OST

But fuck me if Arno wasn't cool

Apologies but I forgot to include synopses for a few entries that were submitted, so here they are for anyone whose interested in reading them especially. Idk if it will change your minds on what you're voting for in this but they are interesting and well written and deserve being shown regardless imo:

Heroes of Might and Magic 3:
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 are full of nostalgia, hours of fun gameplay with friends and, of course, wonderful music. Everyone in my group had "their" favourite town, mine happens to be Rampart, because I'm a LOTR nerd, and love elves, dwarves, dragons, and all that magical forest aesthetic. When I was 14, I once made a huge mistake of changing the Rampart theme to a pop song I liked - and I ended up hating the song so much that I had to change it back. But I never had this problem with the original Rampart theme (or any other OG music, I still use HoMM battle themes for my D&D games).
This piece just kept popping up in my head, and I don't care if it gets 0 votes, I just want you to appreciate its ethereal beauty.
If you played HoMM3 as a teen, you will understand me. If your childhood had another great game you liked, well, I still recommend to check out the HoMM3 soundtrack, it's worth it!

==============================================================================

The Last Of Us:
Synopsis-The emotional climax of the game is elevated by this amazing piece. It really expresses Joel's struggle and frustration whilst trying to save Ellie. The decision itself to save her wasn't one he made lightly but was ultimately always going to be his decision as far as the narrative goes of him losing a daughter before and growing closer with Ellie over time and having very little else to live for in the broken down world of the Last of Us.

==============================================================================

Koudelka:
It's the theme for the game's final bossfight. Koudelka was a japanese horror RPG with a western setting. The entire game takes place in a deserted monastery in Wales around 1890, and it combines elements of exploration and puzzles with turn-based combat. The atmosphere is dark and mysterious. In contrast to this, the battle themes are kind of funky and uplifting, seemingly not fitting the narrative at all. But it somehow all makes sense, and the game creates a very special atmosphere. I recommend everyone to check the game out, the story and characters are amazingly written and it's truly unique.

Bracket 1 will be ending in less than 12 hours too and this Bracket/Bracket 2 will end in just under 17 too. I'll try to get Round 2 started immediately after both brackets are done too.​

But fuck me if Arno wasn't cool

I've yet to play anything past Black Flag so if Odyssey is half as good as that it's great

 

[Gorosei Informer]

@Devilbat There seems to be a missing vote from you in R2?

R3 seems to have 18 for some reason, whilst the others have 17 and I cant see why either lol.

R6 is missing one too but not sure who from yet either.

 

[Adam 🍎]

is half as good as that it's great

dunno man MC alone makes it up

TY, fixed my vote! and for the record, I vote for Nier Automata, there are 2 choices and it's a lil confusing which one is which

ugly girl

 

[Gorosei Informer]

Yeah, thats fine thanks, no probs.

As I said before, I messed up the poll and Rayan fixed it, but we're stuck with 2 entries for Nier in it now too so its a mess for a different reason now ironically lol. Everyone has been really sensible about it though, it adds up to the right amount with both entries for it in terms of votes for that fight, so I'm grateful for that.
I'm not sure if the mods can remove the extra entry for it now but I'm assuming they can?

Both entries for Nier in the poll will count for it, it doesnt matter which one people vote for as long as the fights for R4 or w/e add up exactly to the actual amount of total voters for this.

Well, if it works out in the end, all good! Also, use Ctrl+F to check the votes in the end, it will be easier that way. E g take Devilbat, check that I had 7 votes, all good. Then check every other person, if the numbers are uneven. I was fairly lucky last time, only one round had really messy votes, you're doing ok so far, but this bracket will be a little tricky, but it's good that both R4 options have the same name :)

Aye thats good advice as usual thank you! I'll see what I can do then.

 

[EkkoLoJinx]

persona is losing. blasphemy!

 

[Gorosei Informer]

Congrats to the winners of bracket 1. Bracket 2 will end in about 4.5 hours too.
I will host round 2 after bracket 2 ends too.

Woo-hooo!!!
R2 will be brutal!

How are you doing, @Shimotsuki Ghostly ? I hope you feel better and that running this contest is actually fun to you.

Yep, the matchups are fucking intense and insane in R2 right now lol.

I'm alright I guess, thanks, just stressed and tired. At least R2 is setup and sorted now too.

It kinda is, but I'm really frustrated about what happened to my entry (Big Blue) and some mistakes/confusion here and there has put me off, as well as how meticulous and tedious setting up these contests are. I can see why the others were agonising over it. Light is so used to it especially but even Adam by this point, they make it seem effortless when its far from that ofc, its hard work and makes me appreciate their efforts into making these, just like it did for Nika after he hosted one too.

I won't be hosting anymore of these, especially anytime soon but tyvm for asking how I'm doing anyway and well wishing.

Yeah, running a contest makes you appreciate other tourneys and people spending efforts on them so much more!

I learned a lot when hosting, and I definitely plan to host again, just not at this point as I am kinda busy IRL :( and remember, the worst part is the first round, then it gets a lot easier!

Sending you hugs and more wishes to get rested and hopefully relaxed
