I love the main menu music of addon-less witcher 3:



It gets replaced with other music when you have DLC, those are also good but I like the original the best.

I usually let it loop at least 10 times before hitting start. It sets the mood so well.



Into Free. The Dragons Dogma main menu music.



Oh man this hits my nostalgia hard. I haven't played Dragon's Dogma since the original release, and I didn't play Dark Arisen. For me this song is in the DNA of the game. I would wait for the song to finish every time I booted it up, it got me so hyped up to play. That half time breakdown at the end is so sick.

Why do I have to be the one to post Baba Yetu this far into the thread? Y'all are slacking!

Baba Yetu - Cilivlization IV



Because when I post good Main Menu music, I post the one that has won a Grammy.

Dark Souls III was fantastic. It's Yuka Kitamura blasting Sakuraba out of the room with her music and taking control of the soundtrack from him. Motoi hee-haw indeed.

Can't choose just one, but all my favorites have already been posted in this thread except one. FFX-2, Halo 3, FarCry 5, Life is Strange, and I'm going to add Guild Wars Factions.

Somnus in Final Fantasy XV just give me chills, I hope the rest of the game was as good.

Shenmue 1 and 2's is nostalgia incarnate. Same for Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid 1's as well as Sonic the Hedgehog.

SMT3's is also really nice. Meguro is so good at menu themes.

Or


Probably my top two. I always remember Bad Company, and Halo 3 is one of the standout games to define my teenage years

Bought DOOM (2016) on release day when no reviews were out, just a few forum posts saying it was better than expected. I hadn't thought much of the Beta, and the gameplay videos (with exception of the Nvidia one) weren't good. Then heard the start of this theme and realised I might be in for something good.
