Favorite Namco PCE game?

[Arkhan]

I'm a jerk in person too, depending on the situation, lol.

like I said, seemed like an OK post.  Got met with self righteous fallbackoneveryonehasanopinionleavemealone reply, hit the "f*ckyeahaaaa" button.

It happens.

Michirin, I also like you, too. I don't always agree with your musical sensibilities, but you've inspired Elmer to do Huzak and he's ALMOST(?) done with it.

In fact, I like most of the folks on here, despite disagreeing with almost everyone.

Also, Namco, WTF?

[Arkhan]

I never disagree with you.

I've only played like 4 of the games on this list. so voting on them would be kind of ridiculous. If you send me the Hucards I will play them.

To sum up this thread: I LIKE CATS YOU LIKE DOGS TIM FOLLINFOLLINFOLLIN OPINIONS

[Necromancer]

MSX is for short bus f*cktards.

To back up my opinion, I offer Ark as proof. 

[blueraven]

I don't have an MSX, but I heard the MSX2 is pretty cool.  And people still make games for it right?

On the other hand, Arkhan, if you're trying to get more info out of Michirin as to WHY she has the opinions she does, beating her over the head is not going to do it. That's not friendly engagement. That's aggression. Being "right" doesn't excuse it. An opportunity to explore why we like what we like is wasted because now everyone's defensive and ready to punch.

*shrug*,  the info came out.  I don't really think the first post was so bad, and received a defensive  self righteous reply.   It's not really out of line with the tone other people use, including michirin.

Besides, If I didn't ask, nobody else sure as f*ck was going to bother.    There'd just be people scrolling by going yepyepyep opinions yepbrblrbrlrbyep because this forum has practically devolved into a circle jerk where nothing cool gets talked about anymore most of the time.

The problem is that you pretty much always come across as a jerk, at least when answering to me...

It's harder to pin-point why I don't like something than it is to say why I like something, and saying "I like so and so more" still makes sense, I don't need your agreement, your approval, or even your understanding, all I want is to express my opinion without being harassed for it... And I DO say why I like the things that I do, and it's not just the "adverb-laden praise" you take it as, did I not say that I like Final Fight 3's music because I like its instrumentation, because it's very layered, because pretty much every instrument plays its own melody and it somehow fits in together like clockwork, because there's a lot of variety in the sound and because it's geniusly composed? Is that not explaining why I like it? Same with the games from the other companies I've mentioned, I like Sunsoft's music not only because it's well-composed, but because it really takes advantage of the NES's sound hardware without having to use extra soundchips in the cartridge, and I like several other NES soundtracks because of their more nuanced instrumentation than whatever Capcom did on the NES...

I'll give Capcom this much though, it's not their fault that I've grown a distaste for their NES music style, it's just that said style is SO overused and overexposed that I'm sick of hearing it, everyone and their moms wants to make music like they did... I guess that just goes to show how popular they are...

Also, mentioning the names of a few companies is easier than name-dropping god-only-knows how many games they've put out on the system in question, and being a retro-gaming-connoisseur you should have an idea of what I'm talking about when I name-drop said companies...

[nodtveidt]

Final Lap Twin because a racing RPG is a hella crossover, Splatterhouse because f*ck YEAH HELL MASK AND 2x4 CARNAGE, and Wonder Momo because panties.

[Arkhan]

Sidenote:  *vintage.    Retro is the wrong word to use.  We need to collectively fix that trend of overusing that word incorrectly.   Retro is imitation.   This shit isn't an imitation of itself. 

Anyway, you're reading too far into it.   My tone is generally always kind of blunt/abrasive.   Don't take it personally, lol.

I agree Capcom's musical style is overdone.  It's like all the other f*ckin arp laden bullshit people crank out in gameboy trackers and go OMFG CHIPTUNES.   Everyone steals the Capcom laser toms and megaman leads and cranks out bullshit.

It's all derivative-y and annoying.  Most of it is just background noise that you can't remember after you hear it, too.   I've gone to chipmusic concerts where it's just the sounds of robots f*cking, with flashing lights.    Waste of time/money.   At least they had nachos.

When you almost give examples, that's cool.   When you say "I like the instrumentation", etc.  it helps to give actual examples.     Namedropping companies and saying "I like the thing" just means everyone else has to fill in the gaps, and may not fill them in as you thought.     If you want to get your points/tastes across, it's your job to articulate them.   

You spend more time defending your lack of reasoning after I point it out than you do simply fleshing a thought out. 

Some of it, I think, is that you are bad at pinpointing things.  It's like if you ask someone their favorite candybar, and they name every goddamn candybar in the store, lol.   

Think about it more.  I don't know.   You could probably narrow down your taste to a pretty concise explanation instead of just throwing blanket company namedrops out there to solve it.

Any company has their ups and downs, too.   

If you just say I like Capcom's SNES music, we can't get a good handle on what you like.  Demon's Crest sounds nothing like Street Fighter 2 sounds nothing like MegaMan X sounds nothing like Knights of the Round.

and Super Ghouls and Ghosts just sounds like a toy piano in a store on demonstration mode.   

Also, I sometimes wonder if you're actually serious when you say that you'd rather listen to chipstuff over real stuff or however it was you worded it.

like, if you were presented with listening to Bayou Billy's soundtrack.... wouldn't you rather have this:
   

instead of the OG tune?

[Michirin9801]

I guess I should me more specific more often? Here's the thing though, my taste is really broad and eclectic, and it's hard to be specific when you like so many things that are so different from one another... Here's an example:

and Super Ghouls and Ghosts just sounds like a toy piano in a store on demonstration mode.   

Yeah, they sound nothing alike, but I like all of them...
Even if they "sound like a Toy Piano", but to me, that's only part of the charm!

Also, I sometimes wonder if you're actually serious when you say that you'd rather listen to chipstuff over real stuff or however it was you worded it.

I actually do listen to chiptunes on my MP3 player all the time, while going to work, while going to college, while waiting in lines, while drawing, I've got lots of soundtracks from SNES, GBA, PCE, DS, X68000 and PC-98 games, among others, that I've either recorded or downloaded somewhere, and I actually do enjoy it more than "real music"...
How can I say it... I guess the less real it sounds, the more it appeals to me, but when it starts to sound primitive then it also starts to lose part of said appeal...

Heck, the majority of the music with lyrics I even listen to are sung by Vocaloids! (And UTAU and CeVIO) Anything else is either Eurobeat (because it's HYPE) or some old anime music...
