Patient Gamers

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Let's try and keep it below ~~10~~ 11 entries:

  • Disco Elysium
  • Outer Wilds
  • Hollow Knight
  • Shadow of the Colossus + Ico
  • Pyre (+all other Supergiant games)
  • Valkyrie Profile
  • Banner Saga trilogy
  • Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
  • Chrono Trigger + Cross
  • Eastshade

Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though...

Hollow Knight is pure art

[–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

Really good list. I wanna add stardew valley and Nier automata aswell.

Als I'm gonna check out valkyrie profile tomorrow, I've never heard of that game.

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 19 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Mirror's Edge.

and Hades, although I refuse to call it a "patient gamer" game

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

All the hades osts are so good. They just don't miss.

[–] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game

Why? It's 6 years old at this point so I think it qualifies.

All of Persona OSTs, if i had to pick one it would be 5, but all of them have songs on my playlist that i hear to this day.

I also love Devil May Cry OSTs, i heard bury the light on repeat for months

[–] Cashmere@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Persona 5 - Beneath the Mask. Still listening to this on a rainy days !

[–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

Last month i was on the bus back home and as the rain started to fall that music started to play, literal perfect timing

Bungie-era Halo has the best OST in the industry hands down, though recently Lunacid let me hear some certified bangers; someone here mentioned B:G&E, and I second that opinion although I wouldn't have thought of it myself.

[–] vikingtons@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Halo Reach was such an excellent send off. What a powerful soundtrack.

Minecraft (incl. Wynncraft)

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Minecraft soundtrack never gets old, even 3000 hours later I can still listen to it.

My top four haven't changed in a while:

  • Chrono Cross
  • Nier Gestalt/Replicant (original version)
  • Persona 5
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I love EDM, so any game that uses it or is inspired by it holds a special place in my heart, like Streets of Rage, Rez, Dance Dance Revolution, or the Trails of Cold Steel games (especially the second one).

[–] atkion@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Ones I haven't seen in this thread yet:

Cuphead, Cave Story, Celeste, Dredge, Furi, Katamari Damacy (and others in the series), Peggle, Super Mario Galaxy

Chrono Trigger

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

A lot of great choices already: Persona 5, Hades, Katamari Damacy.

A kind of odd left-field one I'd like to add specifically for great music in-game, is Guacamelee 2. I don't know that it's the kind of music I'm likely to put on just to listen to randomly, but as far as in-game atmospheric music goes I think it's both tremendous and refreshingly unique amongst the landscape of video game music.

I'll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer...

Homeworld and Hotline Miami are my two favorites!

[–] atkion@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Hotline Miami is an all timer for sure

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How has nobody mentioned Rimworld? Such an incredible soundtrack!

Halo Reach, hands down. Phenomenal, all the feels

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Golden Sun GBA soundtrack. Also there are some really nice remixes of the fan community. The game is from 2001 but can be played with Nintendo Switch online subscription. As well as the second game (they are basically one game).

Ace Combat, all of them but especially the PS2 Holy Trinity.

Shadow of the Colossus.

NFSU2, Most Wanted and Burnout 3, even if theyre licensed music and not really original.

Doom midis in general are fun. Touhou games too.

Deus Ex and System Shock 2

[–] Azathoth@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Metroid Prime

[–] bitcrafter@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

To The Moon

I have played that game five times (so I could share the experience with other people) and have broken down into tears at the end every time.

[–] sadie_sorceress@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 3 points 1 month ago

Outer Wilds (and Echoes of the Eye) technically qualifies with the community's rules, but I think the answer more in keeping with the spirit of things is Shadow of the Colossus. The Opened Way is the most "fighting a building-sized monster as a normal guy but still winning" piece of music I have heard

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Feeling nostalgic and I was just listening to the Pokemon gen2 soundtrack

[–] astrsk@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Undertale, Celeste, Katamari, Syonara Wild Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid, Persona 4G, Persona 5R
