Karpmod, Kingdom Hearts. Why?

As you've certainly heard me say before, "gameplay is the most important quality of a game". Whether there's truth to that or not, there certainly is truth for it in my own preferences. I enjoy all the fightin' in action-adventure games like nothin' else. As such, I especially enjoy Kingdom Hearts' combat. I've also a strange knack for blockin' out the bad qualities of a game that have nothin' to do with gameplay mechanics; poor stories and repetitiveness in particular for whatever unknown reason (ohai my love for Assassin's Creed 1).

In short, the gameplay. It's not deep or all-that challenging often enough but I still enjoy it simply because. Ah, and Yoko Shimomura too.

 

[WiiAssasin]

I don't buy it.

 

[Splash_King]

So you are a pirate...

 

[WiiAssasin]

A game is only as good as the sum of it's parts.

 

[Splash_King]

And a chain is only strong as it's weakest link. Your point?

 

[WiiAssasin]

Squeenix, that's what.

 

[Splash_King]

Damn them and their lack of TWEWY 2...

It's not deep or all-that challenging often enough but I still enjoy it simply because. Ah, and Yoko Shimomura too.

wait wut? She was a composer for some of Xenoblade's music as well, though ACE+ does a better job (dat Gaur Plains).

nao i wanna listen 2 xenoblade soundtrack even moar

Yoko's been Kingdom Hearts' lead composer since the very beginning. There's a damn-good reason why the largest VGM album (for a single game series) on my PC is dedicated to all that grandeur junk from KH. If ya ain't familiar with 'er compositions outside'a Xenoblade, here ya go.

Findin' that link, I discovered Yoko played a small part in 3 tracks from Brawl... Neat-o.

question @ evry1: Favorite video game composer?

Yep, her work can be easily identified.

question @ evry1: Favorite video game composer?

I don't think I have a favorite. I suppose David Wise because of nostalgia.



Anyone, favorite ost?

 

[Splash_King]

cant... spoiler... openinggggggggg

Aye, her compositions are pretty easy t' distinguish. If I knew anythin' 'bout music, perhaps I could decipher why.

Anyone, favorite ost?

Bloody hell that's a hard question I've been asked over the years; still no truly decisive answer. However, I tend to fall back on Shadow of the Colossus as said answer. The sheer level of epic gameplay in that game is equally rivaled by the soundtrack, without a doubt.

Star Ocean 3 sure as **** gets an honorable mention since Motoi Sakuraba is awesome, the tunes are (expectedly) amazing and holy mother of 'Karp is that OST humongous.

 

[WiiAssasin]

I really can't remember another ost that rivals Xenoblade. 91 songs iirc and of high quality. Outranks FFVI.

 

[Mr. MR]

Hey CK, in your opion what game has the best soundtrack?

derp

In terms of the best overall (IMO) rather than my personal favorite, like hell I could answer that. :lol:
