Gaming Vibes

I have been thinking recently about .Hack, G.U. to me more specific, a game that I played when I was younger, so I actually tought it was a MMO from how realistic it was lol. But one thing I remember well was... The desktop music.

This... This right here is what makes me return to this game from time to time, I load up an old save data and just play this imaginary single-player MMO. I never played MMOs for being too boring, but this is the closest I have ever been to enjoying something similar. Do you have a game that just hits the spot for you, and makes you melancholic out of nowhere?

Except one game, I have never felt the need to come back to a single player game. I feel melancholy with their music yes but I'm ok with just listening all of them on youtube. I'm not deeply attached to any game, the exception being Crusader King 2 but thats only because I really love medieval warfare and history.

Ironically the games you call boring are the ones that can make me want to come back and play them again. MMO's are extremely fun with friends to play with, and fortunately I had them. Every time I hear the "character selection" music of each one of the 3 MMO's games I ever played I want to download them and come back but NO! that era is gone, it was fun, good memories.

So I'd say those 3 games are the ones that makes me feel that "melancholy".
You have to understand also that I grew up with just a NES clone console, that was my only one. Then I jumped right away to PC when I was 13-14. So I don't have the same strong nostalgia for console games of the majority here but I understand the feeling to some degree, and this site helped me play all those game I couldn't back then.

This has true power over me:

Shadow of Colossus, I lost it when the horse died. Didn't feel like I was victorious despite winning against all of them, really great game at that

Especially this OST

I fell asleep with the NES on, and the Mega Man 2 intro kinda brainwashed me like that Omelet du Fromage episode of Dexter's Lab. Maybe two weeks, I couldn't even think another tune, I hummed it nonstop. My math teacher called me "tiresome".

I've always found the PS4 menu music eerie and vaguely sad. Like a melancholic insomniac feeling––void-like, but pretty?

The comments under the video are gems, and seem excerpted from Mary's letters to James:

"Memories that won't come back"

"My brother was someone who felt bad about himself and took refuge on PlayStation to feel better. At night in my bedroom, I could hear this music from his room
This memory will remain forever in my memory."

Yeah like the PS3 sounds like a rise and PS4 sounds like (maybe not the fall) but the last great gen, maybe that's just me

Also that's a great memory man, hopefully you're doing better

I love when you play Persona 3 and the 2000 aesthetic comes in and with the help of a unique intro makes you wanna try a great and unique game

This here. This song, this armor set, this cloudy sky...

A lot of NES music has a weird effect on me. That whole sound palette just unlocks something in my brain from early childhood.

Stuff like this just seems to invoke that perfect mix of childhood imagination and nostalgia. Its definitely a personal vibe.

Oh I could go crazy on this one. One of my all time favorite songs in a video game is Blood Feuds, Ancient and Modern from Red Dead Redemption 2. It plays in a key moment in the game where the gang comes together in one of the only moments they all do to do something that they all feel the same about. One of the most intense missions in a cinematic story game for me.

But also have to drop this one too.

aww on the nice message and sentiment, but I was quoting from the YouTube comments, many of which are similarly emotional and melancholic
