gaming What are some video game theme songs that pump you up?

[Heylookabrony 28]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown/ Enemy Within

Makes me excited to defend earth, but also reminds me (depending on how far into the game I'm in) to re-apply deodorant, I might need it if I run into two packs of Mutons that surround me.

 

Call of Duty 3

NOSTALGIA/ epic song

 

Runescape 2 (2008 version)

This is the theme of my all-time favorite game from my childhood.

 

Split/Second

This is a game that I doubt anyone here as heard of, which makes it all the more special to me.

Knowing that everything is at stake, the game music that gets me pumped / running would be -

And knowing things would push on, this would keep it going.

I enjoy tons of music from games! But in terms of pumping me up...

This is one thing that CoD did right. Having this track play at the beginning of a multiplayer game gets your blood pumping. It's an incredible piece 

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

This is one of my favorite title themes of all time; gets me pumped.

This shit right here: /dat goodness

 

[Selfie Snapshots 253]

Every Morning I get pumped to this
As I eat my morning Breakfeast

@@Fidget,

 

I came in here to post MGR music but I was gonna go with this one instead:

I'm also gonna throw in the final boss theme of Wild Arms 5. This song got me pumped before I ever even played the game:

 

 

It's not actually that long. It's just hard to find the final boss version. You'll either get the game's opening version if you want shorter videos. Meh. The song full is about five to six minutes long though. Due to the way the game plays the final boss fight barely lasts long enough to hear the full song and that's when you haven't even done a ton of optional stuff so you aren't ultimately powerful.

This theme (It's long I know because it is technically multiple themes put together) always puts me at the front of my seat whilst I am playing. Killing the Darkers and protecting Lillipa's Mining bases. \(OwO)/

 

And

 

 

This theme does the same, Hyping myself and my party up to defeat Dark Falz and to die a lot

[MysticShine 529]

His World from Sonic '06. Any version works for me.

[Megas 27,038]

 

The song alone is part of the reason this is my favorite part of the game

[Ryzu 984]

Kinda surprised this wasn't put up yet.

Spellbound

 

 

Knight Tyme

not only is it my jam to my bread, but its a really rad theme imo and i get really excited every time i boot the game up cx

I am really looking forward to the OST from MGSV: The Phantom Pain, already hearing snippets of it from MGSV: Ground Zeroes and various demo gameplays of Phantom Pain. I really like the style of electronic music they are using, and combining it with orchestra creates the ultimate combo, my personal favorite.

 

Sometimes I hope I could learn to use those music composing softwares, then I could try to master this style, currently my favorite style, of music from MGSV and try to integrate it into some of the MLP:FiM OST, dunno if Daniel Ingram would be interested by then

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,151]

If I had to name one, it would be this one:

 

 

It just really feels like I am going on a grand adventure. <3

This song is only played during the intro, but it always gets me excited:

 

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

For me, it will always be Killer Instinct:

 

[Radiance64 7,051]

The menu theme from the latest Smash Bros. always does it for me:

I often just listen to it for a bit before playing... I never get tired of it.
