What are you playing?

Trial mountain - my favorite track. Short but highly technical, ideal for a quick tuning checks. That's Lancer EVO III, IIRC.
The Isamu Ohira's menu music in the original GT game was outstanding, I loved the special tunes for an each manufacturer. Race music OST - not a fan tbh. The GT2 music, overall nah.

I liked the NFS II, NFS III hot pursuit, and NFS IV high stakes soundtracks, I still do.
The latter two were a pinnacle of the racing genre music IMO. Junkie XL, Saki Kaskas, Rom Di Prisco, Crispin Hands - they knew how to do their thing...
The game menu music by Rom Di Prisco in all of those 3 is the iconic signature of the series. There's nothing even remotely close to it nowadays. If someone's interested, just PM me, I'll gladly share link to this FLAC remastered collection:

Yes that's an Evo III, well for me the music is good enough to compliment the game, at this point it's mostly nostalgic value to me.

I try the modded GT2 but since they changed the racing OST I can't play it despite that they fixed some of the problem in original game, for example GT300 cars are 400-500hp and GT500 is 600-700hp. For me GT2 Japanese OST is better than the English ones.

With all of Ai hoopla in COD:BO6 mp and the frustration that brings to gameplay has caused me to dump it. I went from the top 0% in the last two COD HC MP and this game with its mid game adjustments have me all over the place. I don't know exactly what they are doing, but there is something and that is unacceptable in a competitive fps game. I have only stopped 2 other COD mp games before the next arrived. This is really the only game I play anymore. I'm in my late 40s, have a family and too many responsibilities to game as much anymore, so I choose a game- typically COD or BF depending on which game is better that round.

Now that I moved on, its BODY CAM for me! Holy crap is this game intense and difficult! Its gonna take me some time to adjust, but I really like it so far. Anybody else playing it?

Need For Speed III? The menu music is the winner!

So anyway I beat Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

Hnnnnngggg easily one of the best Shock-Likes to be released in recent memory. The anti-skyrim, deep as the ocean, wide as a puddle. So many ways to complete objectives, game even intelligently deals with shortcutting quests etc.

God damn shame we'll never see a sequel. If you like stuff like Dishonored, go get the new DX games post haste and have yourself a grand old time.

Problem with these games is they only really get good once you've unlocked your skills. NG+ is just me being a kid in a candy store, but the original run is going to lose a lot of people cause without the upgrades the game is basically a 3rd rate sneak shooter.

That's the next time evolution of the genre, figuring out a way to make the first 3rd of this style of game captivating when the gameplay is going to kinda suck by design.
