Very few tracks in Hotline Miami work well alone. I still have not played it and only seen maybe the first mission and title screen. The tracks make sense in the game. I've listened to the whole soundtrack. Because of Hotline I've avoided listening to Starbound's music.

Hotline also often didn't work in game either. The game has a tendency to just be literal sensory overload. With constant bright blaring lights, loud noises, and loud music.

Well it's kind of supposed to be like that.

Wasn't that the entire point of the game?

No, kicking doors into people and shooting dogs was the entire point of the game.

Ah, Hotline Miami: the gaming equal of a Quentin Tarantino film. Hyperviolent and entertaining, yet also very carefully put together and plotted out.

I'm not ashamed to admit I didn't understand the plot one bit, which always makes me suspect the plot was crap.  Gameplay was good though.

Subsequent sentiment

Man what.  The music's pulse practically drove me through the game, and I was listening to it like non-stop for like weeks afterwards.

I love the soundtrack as well. It's the best example of how you should do a videogame soundtrack, in my opinion.

That one stands by itself. It's one of maybe two in the whole soundtrack.

I beg to differ.

Well suffice it to say playing for a while made "Me" feel like a recovering drug user... What with the head aches and migraines.

While there is no "One" way to do music. I still would like if Starbound wasn't trying to put you to sleep with almost all its themes, I still remember the last game that had soothing sleep inducing music.

Especially when a game is mostly grinding and pointless fights.

It doesn't just lay the plot out for you. You have to look at everything that's happening, consider whose perspective it's coming from and why that would be, how those events tie into gameplay etc. There will be just about nothing that you can take at absolute face value, due to the colossal drug and mind-control influences.

Speaking of drug usage, d'you think Starbound will have hallucinogens? That'd be fun. You could totally shoot someone with a roofie dart and they'd be all 'Argh, my senses!'

As for music, the Starbound music I've heard so far is rather nice. Good thing I gots the soundtrack.

[Flying Dice]

I don't think that date-rape drugs fit the setting or theme.
