{{trope}}
Let's face it now, you can't make a good game without this trope. Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}|the Most Wonderful Sound]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
----
* [[Pac-Man|Paku-paku-paku-paku-paku-paku-paku...]]
** Also commonly rendered as "waka-waka-waka-waka"
Line 10:
* ''[[Soul Series]]'':
** The shattering sound of a successful Soul Crush in SC4. '''''<big>[[Limit Break|CRITICAL]] [[One-Hit Kill|FINISH]] [[Curb Stomp Battle|TIME,]] [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|BITCHES!]]</big>''''' ...That is, if you aren't [[Oh Crap|on the]] [[This Is Gonna Suck|receiving]] [[One-Hit Kill|end]]...
** [[Big Bad|Nightmare]] is probably this trope personified. "More...''[[Large Ham|NEED MORE]] [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|SOOOUUULS,]]''" and "I will show you...[[Meaningful Name|the greatest nightmare!]]" come to mind.
** Siegfried's voice [[Crispin Freeman|is]] [[Roger Craig Smith|a Most Wonderful Sound]] altogether.
* ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'':
{{quote| "Carrier has arrived."<br />
"Battlecruiser... operational."<br />
"Nuclear launch detected." (So long as one isn't on the receiving end.)<br />
"Adun Toridas."<br />
"Evolution complete."<br />
"My life for Aiur."<br />
"GO AHEAD, TAC-COM."<br />
"GOLIATH ONLINE."<br />
"Upgrade complete."<br />
(using stimpack) "OH YEAAAAHHH!"<br />
"It is a good day to die!"<br />
"You called down the thunder . . ."<br />
". . . Now reap the whirlwind!"<br />
"Never know what hit 'em."<br />
"Ready to roll out!"<br />
"Let's burn."<br />
"Khassar de Templari"<br />
"Gimme something to shoot."<br />
"You wanna piece of me boy?"<br />
"I read ya... ''sir''."<br />
"Nuclear missile ready."<br />
"Somebody call for an exterminator?"<br />
"SCV good to go, sir!"<br />
"Your warriors have engaged the enemy!" }}
** Sound effects:
{{quote| Dragoon death<br />
Science Vessel death<br />
Dragoon death<br />
Carrier death<br />
[[Rule of Three|Dragoon death]]<br />
Battlecruiser death<br />
Line 62:
[[Overly Long Gag|Dragoon death]] }}
** In Starcraft 2
{{quote| "Thor is here!"<br />
"KABOOM baby!"<br />
"The grim reaper has arrived."<br />
"Ready to plunder."<br />
"Who called in the fleet?"<br />
"From the shadows I come."<br />
"I am here in the shadows."<br />
[[Brick Joke|Dragoon death]] }}
** And, of course, Swann's guitar riff that plays when you get new shiny toys to play with.
* Similarly for the ''[[Command and& Conquer]]'' series.
{{quote| "[[Nuke'Em|A-Bomb]] ready"<br />
"[[Kill Sat|Ion Cannon]] ready"<br />
The sound of a Tiberium Wars era Ion cannon building up to that final blast<br />
Line 104:
"AK 47s...FOR EVERYONE!"<br />
"Global Defense Initiative/Brotherhood of Nod selected. To play the Brotherhood of Nod/GDI missions, please insert the Nod/GDI disk." }}
** Really, a [[Command and& Conquer]] list of wonderful sounds can't be complete without those [[Two Words|two magic words]]:
{{quote| ''KANE!'' '''LIVES!!!'''}}
** And the sound effects themselves: the first ''Red Alert'' in particular stands out for the sound effects of the Chronosphere and the Tesla Coil. And of course the opening marching sound effect of the Hell March, but see [[Crowning Music of Awesome]].
*** On that note: ''"Die Waffen! Legt... An!"''
** The sound of an [[Frickin' Laser Beams|Obelisk of Light]] charging up and firing.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IYhHSndJoE Welcome back commander.]
* ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]: [[Dawn of War]]''
{{quote| "[[Tank Goodness|Ready to unleash eleven barrels of hell!]]"<br />
"[[Psychic Powers|WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOM!!!]]"<br />
"{{smallcaps|[[Physical God|I am Khaela Mensha Khaine]]}}."<br />
Line 191:
* Bonk-series have some of these. Who doesn't love that booming, high-sirened sound when Bonk eats a slab of spicy meat and [[Your Head Asplode|his head explodes away?]]
** Not to mention that loud BOOM-sound that can be heard when [[Use Your Head|you hit the enemy]] in ''Bonk's Revenge''. ''Especially if you fall on them head on.''
* The [[Metal Gear|CODEC sound]] always seems to get a reaction. The "Video Games Live" concert took advantage of this, as did the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'' trailer that introduced Snake.
** Interestingly, this is also an entry in the [[Most Annoying Sound]] trope. Particularly due to the second Solid game, where the call is usually your girlfriend calling to whine at you.
** Everything David Hayter has to say, with special mention to his various reactions to food in Snake Eater. ''"Tasty,"'' indeed.
* The Hammer theme, from ''[[Donkey Kong]]'', most recently in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. No matter how great the music for the current stage is, no one seems to mind when someone picks up that hammer and the jingle starts to play, though that might just be because they're running for their lives...
** The Golden Hammer music in ''Brawl'' even more so.
** For any player without the golden hammer, the noise upon finding that it is, in fact, a squeaky hammer is bliss.
Line 283:
*** The Mission Complete fanfare is awesome as well. Villain players even get a somewhat more sinister version of the jingle.
** Not technically an RPG, but the level up "jingle" in [[Call of Duty]] 4 is actually a brief heavy metal guitar/drums riff.
** [[EveEVE Online|"Skill training completed."]]
** ''[[Fallout]] 3'''s cash register "cha-ching!" after gaining exp. is gleefully sadistic and very visceral. That and the army-four-beat-drum "Level Up" sound.
*** Sadly in [[Fallout: New Vegas]] the experience gain sound was changed to a bowel-loosening bass hit. Very irritating when clearing out large groups of weak enemies.
Line 318:
* Some of the "Critical Hit" sounds from [[Baldur's Gate]] are immensely satisfying. Others... not so much.
** And of course that godly voice:
{{quote| "You must gather your party from venturing forth."}}
** When you try to take Boo away from Minsc: SQUEEK!
** Many of the spell chants are this:
Line 324:
*** ''"Vita! Mortis! Coriolis!"''
*** As well as the sound of Sarevok's "Deathbringer Assault"
{{quote| "Death comes for you! Feel its icy breath!" *thwack*}}
** Hearing ''at least'' 3 enemy death cries after the "FOOM!" of a fireball landing or the "BRZZP" of a lightning bolt.
* Same goes for [[Planescape: Torment]]
Line 345:
** While the normal [[Invincibility Power-Up]] music (and aaaaall of its remixes in various games) is always awesome, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMzUqSk9iic jingle that plays] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' when you grab the Mega Star pretty much alerts you that it's time to go on an awesome, 8-bit ''rampage''.
** The first game's music when you slide down the flagpole.
** [[YoshisYoshi's Story|Yoshi!]] ([[Nintendo Capri Sun|So happy! :D]])
** The sound Bob-Omb Buddies make when they talk. Weh-wehheheheh!
* ''[[Warcraft]]'':
{{quote| "Jobs done!" / "Work complete." / "Your building is complete." / "Summoning is complete." <br />
"Research complete." <br />
"'''''Mortaaaar Combaaaaat!!!'''''" (Mortar Team trained) <br />
"It's hammer time!" (Gryphon Rider trained) <br />
"I smell ''magic'' in the air..." (Spell Breaker trained) <br />
"'''"''Storm, Earth and Fire'', heed my call!'''" *[[Dramatic Thunder]]!* (Shaman trained) <br />
"On the great winds I come." (Druid of the Talon trained) <br />
''Dinnnng...'' '''booooooooom''' (Flame Strike sound effect) <br />
and more, inlcuding most Heroes' arrival quotes and a lot of [[Stop Poking Me]] quotes... }}
** Anything said by Grom Hellscream: "Slice and Dice!"
* For anyone who has a certain boss mod for ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', when you defeat a boss, it plays the Final Fantasy Fanfare music. Ahh, sweet sounds of victory.
** If you don't have it, then the bosses' [[Villainous Breakdown]].
{{quote| ''Nefarian:''This cannot be! I am the master here! You mortals are nothing to my kind DO YOU HEAR? NOTHING!!!<br />
''Archimonde:'' No! [[This Cannot Be!|It cannot be!]] [[Big No|NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]]! }}
* From ''[[Doom (series)|Doom]]'':
Line 402:
* The sexy female computer voice whenever you enter a [[Mini-Mecha|VS]]'s cockpit in ''[[Lost Planet]]'': ''System online. Initializing.'' [[Cargo Ship|Why, hello, beautiful.]]
* ''[[Street Fighter]]'':
{{quote| Hadoken!<br />
Shoryuken!<br />
Zoshi!<br />
Mission Start!<br />
I am the RED CYCLONE! }}
** Because of the [[SNK Boss|difficult fights, the phrases of the final bosses]] of [[Street Fighter]]s 3 and 4 may become the [[Most Annoying Sound]], but they are pretty awesome. Street Fighter III's Gill, a half-fire, half-ice, muscle-bound, golden-locked emperor of the Illuminati, who fancy's himself a god:
{{quote| "The mark of my dignity shall scar thy DNA."<br />
"[[Turn Red|Resurrection!]]"<br />
"[[One-Winged Angel|Let my be the blesser of]] [[Large Ham|AAAALLLL SOULS]]"<br />
"[[Evil Gloating|'''Kneel''' before your MASTER!]]" }}
** And IV's Seth, the nude and bleach-white corporate executive with a Yin-Yang for a stomach, who stole all his moves from the other fighters, and improved on them:
{{quote| "[[Limit Break|Let's take this to the next level!]]"<br />
"[[Nightmare Fuel|Become a part of me!]]"<br />
"I won't soil my memory banks with your ''weakness''."<br />
Line 427:
*** '''N-N-N-N-N-NOW!! FIGHT A NEW RIVAL!'''
** [[Street Fighter|A rush of dozens of hits, and then.... "SHOUSHI!"]]
{{quote| [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}sa88Um4feqo HAW-HAW-HAW HUH-HAH-HUR!]<br />
"SHIN... SHORYUUUKEN!"<br />
Dan's "YAHOO!"<br />
*Giggle* "Yatta!"<br />
[[Street Fighter IV|"METSu...HADOOOUKEN!!]] First super I could pull off with consistency. }}
** YOU WIN! [[No Damage Run|PERFECT!]]
Line 442:
*** ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' has a great one, which would later be used as a reward for drawing a "very pretty" picture in ''Kirby Canvas Curse'''s very difficult Paint Panic minigame.
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3Vukon4YRs Kirby Dance jingle]. Never gets old.
** The jingle that plays when you get an energy sphere in ''[[KirbysKirby's Return to Dream Land|Return to Dreamland]]''. The variation that plays when you have collected all energy spheres in a stage is even more satisfying.
* ''Earthbound's'' SMAAAAAAAAASH! sound effect caused a few smiles.
** The ''SQUISH'' sound when you auto-frag an enemy.
Line 497:
** The sound when a critical hit connects. You can feel the power surging.
** Anything Auron says.
* Shinra's cute, squeaky walking sound and the 'Mission Complete' theme in ''[[Final Fantasy X -2]]''.
* The 'five-star' victory theme in ''XIII-2''.
* There was a special short musical cue that played just a few times during ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''. Since these were pivotal, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] type occasions, this cue was hugely satisfying to hear.
Line 531:
** Bombardment Available.
** (Ion or Hypervelocity) Cannon... Firing.
** Enemy base will be in range in <nowiki><</nowiki>time>/Enemy base in range.
** The sound of either Death Star about to fire.
* ''[[Company of Heroes]]'', as either Wermachet Terror Doctrine or Panzer Elite Tank Destroyers Tactics: "An elite heavy panzer is now available, deploy at your convenience." The sound of said elite panzer ''exploding'' has the same effect on the Allied players. The sound of a Calliope firing its rocket battery or a P-51 Mustang dropping bombs also tend to be favourites for American players.
Line 537:
** "Pershing ''ready''." or, better yet, "Like a steel ghost..."
** "Artillery, firing for effect."
** The distinct, unmistakable ''katakatakata'' of Thompson submachine guns, which signifies the [[Ranger]] [[Took a Level Inin Badass|submachine gun upgrade]]. [[Nightmare Fuel]] for Axis players.
** And to counter that the German's have these weapons of mass-destruction:
{{quote| '''Axis Company Commander:''' ''Elite Panzer Deployed.'' (Mind you that said Elite Panzer is either a Tiger Ace or King Tiger<br />
'''Axis Company Commander:''' ''V1 ROCKETS ARE READY TO PUNISH THE INVADERS!''<br />
'''Axis Company Commander:''' ''Blitzkrieg Assault is under way!''<br />
'''Axis Company Commander:''' ''Assault Reserves deployed'' (AKA. [[Tank Goodness|TIGER TANK]]!)<br />
'''Axis Company Commander:''' ''V1 Rocket is en-route to target.''<br />
Line 596:
** '''BAHNDIT REVOLVAH!''' '''[[Kill It with Fire|GAHNFRAHME!]]''' '''[[Limit Break|DRAGHAN INSTAHL!]]'''
** ''[[Musical Theme Naming|RAIDO ZA LIGHTNINGUUUU!]]''
** [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|"The Wheel of Fate is turning! Rebel 1...ACTION!"]]
** Distortion '''''FINISH!'''''
** "FU-RIN-ZA-KAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"
Line 717:
* ''[[Star Ocean the Second Story]]''
** Claude's overenthuastic reaction to a level up:
{{quote| "''MY STRENGTH!''"}}
** [[That One Boss|Vesper's and Decus']] trashtalk and puns.
{{quote| "Shut up and DIE!"<br />
"Hey, [[Flaming Skulls|it's hot]]!"<br />
"I will warm you up to your bones!" }}
* ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'': The Victory [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qaAwq1uiZg Bell].
{{quote| '''Fayt''': I feel stronger already...<br />
'''Cliff''': Moron! Know your enemy before you strike the first blow!<br />
'''Nel''': What goes around, comes around.<br />
'''Albel''': It's not the great who are strong. It's the STRONG who are GREAT!<br />
'''Peppita''': You got some good moves! I should introduce you to the circus master!<br />
'''Roger''': I may be small, but I'm no fry!<br />
'''Maria''': What a waste of time. Let's go.<br />
'''Adray''': You greenhorn! You still have a long way to go.<br />
'''Mirage''': They got what they deserved! }}
* The sound of ''[[Battle Garegga]]'''s 10,000-point medals. And the announcer:
{{quote| "Shot level up!" "Weapon level up!" [[One 1-Up|"EXTEND!"]]}}
* [[Myst|nnnnnnNNNNNNYOWWWCH-Ch-ch-ch...]]
* xBox: "Boo-dik!" Achievement Unlocked.
** [[Subverted Trope|Unfortunately]], the system uses that one sound for every notification, from "Achievement Unlocked!" to "Your friend is online."
* Reloading your weapons during [[Bullet Time]] in ''[[Max Payne 2]]''.
{{quote| CH-CHK. CLANNNNGGGG.}}
** ''"It's PAYNE!"''
* [[Thunder Force|1-up!]]
** In ''Thunder Force V'', the high score name entry screen normally has "Tan Tan Ta Ta Ta Tan" (TF 2, 4 and 6's option music) playing in the background. Come in first, on the other hand, and you get [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09N8By5iy6Q&fmt=18 a remix of TF 3's Stage 7 music].
*** "Enemy approaching! [[Awesome Bosses/Video Game|Vasteel Original]] - Sub-name: This was where it all began."
** ''Thunder Force VI'': [[Gratuitous Foreign Language|'Uche! 'Uche! ORN ge zeu gwu dywu la!]] [[Boss Subtitles|'Uche! 'Uche! ORN ge zeu gwu dywu la!]]
* ''Torus Trooper'': The sound of a [[Every Ten Thousand Points|point-based]] [[Stalked by the Bell|time]] extension.
Line 780:
* [[Wave Motion Gun|Moonstone Cannon]], ''[[Skies of Arcadia|FIRE!]]''
* ''[[Descent]]'': The "Doink!" sound the game makes in multiplayer when an opponent dies.
* The chime for earning a trophy on the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]]
* ''[[Ray Force]]'': "This is the control tower. Make a left turn, over.
* The PING-WHOOOOSH! sound after hitting a ball with Aluminum Power in ''[[Backyard Sports|Backyard Baseball]]'', leading to some [[Crowning Music of Awesome]].
Line 799:
* The sound of a K.O. in any fighting game.
* The "ding-a-doo" chime in [[Sierra]] adventure games (such as ''[[Space Quest]]'') telling you you've done something right.
* The sounds in ''[[SagaSaGa Frontier]]'' that play when you learn a new attack (accompanied by an [[Idea Bulb]]) and when 2 or more of your characters have just started up a [[Combination Attack]]. Sadly, the latter sound is ruined a bit by the fact that your ENEMIES can do it too (with the exact same sound, naturally), and when they do it, [[This Is Gonna Suck|it usually means you're screwed]].
* The sound of the H-weapon in ''[[Contra|Contra III]]''.
** Also the first few notes of the first stage BGM.
Line 810:
** Are you ready? 3, 2, 1, GO!
*** ...''YEAH!!!''*clang**clang**clang* Mission Complete!
** And of course, [[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan|OUEN! DAI SEIKOU!]] It's even better in the sequel, where you even get a catchy tune whenever you pass all the cutscenes.
* An inversion: In the ''Extreme-G'' games, breaking the sound barrier ''mutes'' the sound, leaving only a faint whooshing.
** The Railgun in 3. Skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-PYOW.
Line 835:
** "Location confirmed. Sending supplies."
** Star Wolf's defeat lines, ''especially'' during [[That One Boss|the encounter with them on Venom]]. "No way! I don't believe it!"
** [[Stuff Blowing Up|The huge explosions of defeated bosses]], especially in the original ''[[Star Fox (video game)|Star FoxFOX]]''. Though [[Star Fox 64|64]] has such explosions improved with rumble.
** "Who are you guys?!" "We're Star Fox!" "YOU'LL NEVER DEFEAT ANDROOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!"
** "Only '''I''' have the ''brains'' to ''rule'' Lylat!"
** "If I go down I'm [[Taking You with Me]]!!!!!!!"
**
* ''[[Warhammer Dark Omen]]'' "CUT THEM DOWN!" (which means you just broke an enemy regiment's morale) or "CRUSH THEM!" also the "Fsssshh" sound of the "Blast" spell.
* [[Civilization]] 2 used a lot of stock sounds, some of which were awesome.
Line 875:
* [[Super Metroid|"The last Metroid...is in captivity. The galaxy...is at peace."]]
* The sounds of Beyond the Grave's "Ceruberus O.D." demolition shot in ''[[Gungrave]] Overdose'' in which he combines his [[Hand Cannon|Really Big Handguns]] and his coffin to ''form an Electromagnetic Cannon''.
{{quote| "pshh!" "pa-CHUNG!" "[[Oh Crap|shinnng eeeerrr wappuft]]!" "thunk!" "[[This Is Gonna Suck|whirrrrrrrrr...]]" *[[Repeat Cut|Triple take]] of firing a [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|Giant Energy Sphere Bullet]] of [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Doom]]*}}
* '''[[Stuff Blowing Up|Byoom BOOM BOOM]]'''
** When the opening bars of "B.G." (The Theme of Grave) or "Gunlock Overdrive" (the Main Theme of the games) start to play, shit is about to get REAL.
Line 888:
** "You've been ''NAUGHTY''!~"
** Each and every time a demon is summoned.
* ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' has this whenever Bowser enters a battle. "SHOW-TIIIIIIIIME" indeed.
* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner|The phrases your party members say after scoring]] a critical hit or hits the weak point of an enemy in Personas [[Persona 3|3]] and [[Persona 4|4]].
* ''[[The Sims|The Sims 3]]'' plays a wonderful jingle when you fulfill a promised wish to your sim.
Line 897:
* "[[Mass Effect|The commanding officer is ashore. XO Pressly has the deck.]]" Not for any particular in-game reason. The ''Normandy'' announcer just has a ''really'' sexy voice.
** ...a ''slightly'' more related example: In the sequel, your squadmates congratulate you if you kill an enemy with a headshot. Hearing [[Friendly Sniper|Garrus]] compliment my sniping skills is ridiculously satisfying.
{{quote| [[Memetic Mutation|"Impressive!"]]}}
** Not to mention the sexy voices we get from [[Jennifer Hale]] as Female Shepard, Brandon Keener as Garrus, Liz Sroka as Tali, etc.
** The immense explosion created by the [[BFG|Cain]] firing in the sequel.
Line 916:
** Alicia: (reduced to half health) [[Super Mode|"I'm a weapon, no, a shield!"]] (takes aim) [[Improbable Aiming Skills|"Don't even think of dodging!"]] (curb-stomps enemy) [[Healing Factor|"What? My wounds are healing."]] (and possibly "Once more, with feeling!" on top of all that) [[Game Breaker|This is the sound of the game breaking in half.]]
** In general, the [[Boom! Headshot!]] sound effect.
* [[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA--ORAAAAAAAH!....Yare yare daze..."]]
** "Emerald Splash!"
** "MUDA-DA! MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAAA~! ZA WARUDO!" *Shiiwunk* "Toki wo tomare!" *Shink, shink-shink!* "Soshite toki wa ugokidasu..." *Shunk* "...ROAD-O ROLLER-DA!! WRYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Line 956:
** The sound of a [[Super Mode|Hyper]] laser in ''dai ou jou''.
** The ''DaiFukkatsu'' Operator:
{{quote| [[One 1-Up|"Extend o shimashita!"]] <br />
"Bomu shutoku desu." ([[Smart Bomb|Bomb]] acquired.) <br />
[[Super Mode|"Youi wa yoroshii desu ka?"]] (Are you ready?) <br />
Line 965:
* From ''[[Viewtiful Joe]]'': "JUST GO FOR IT!" and "FINISH!"
** The sounds of your grades slamming across the screen as your stage ranking tallies up.
{{quote| *pong pong pong pong...* You Are *kssht-slam~* Viewtiful!! (audience cheers)}}
** The glorious sound of a boss exploding in the background. Those slow-motion explosions put the perfect cap on a hard-fought victory.
** "COME ON! ALL RIGHT! AWWWWWWWW YEAH! YAAAAAAAAAAAHOO! RED-HOT BABY, YEAH!" The sounds of the player racking up an epic slow-motion combo.
* The critical hit quotes from ''[[Killer 7Killer7]]''.
** (BANG!) Yeah, you're [[Cluster F-Bomb|FUCKED]]!
** "This is too easy"
Line 984:
* [[God of War (series)|"Let the rage of the Titans fuel your blades, Kratos."]]
** The Rage of Sparta theme from the third game. When that theme starts playing, it's time for Kratos to FUCK SOMEBODY UP.
* [[Fire Emblem|"RRRRRRRRRRRAOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRR! SHHIIIING! -Thwack-"]] [[Game Breaker|Narga.]] Also [[Hell Is That Noise]] at the same time, cause as wonderful as it is to hear, cause it's the best weapon in the game and it's only on your side and it defines "[[Game Breaker]]", [[Nightmare Fuel|it's still creepy as hell]]. Alternatively if you don't mind a little [[Brother-Sister Incest]], "RRRRRRRRRRRAOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRR! SHHIIIING! [[Critical Hit|-Thwunk-]] [[TheresThere Is No Kill Like Overkill|Tsssheeew.]]" is much better.
** Also from [[Fire Emblem]], the sounds when a critical or skill activates (provided it's for your character...)
* The high-pitched whine of [[Half Life|Combine radio chatter]] flatlining is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF3k37j_wc4#t=1m1s pretty damn satisifying]. Almost as wonderful is the cry of the last Combine in the squad yelling "OUTBREAK OUTBREAK OUTBREAK!"
Line 1,049:
** The victory theme, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9INnbLFCTdE&feature=related "The End"]. [[Fridge Brilliance]] kicks in when you {{spoiler|finish the Neutral route and find that this theme, indeed, plays in the Neutral ending, during the post-credits scene.}}
* The sound in [http://www.firstpersontetris.com/ this] [[Tetris]] game when you clear four rows at once.
* [[BioshockBioShock (series)]]
** The little piece of music that plays when you rescue a Little Sister. It sounds so hopeful and cleansing.
* [[Dynasty Warriors|"Enemy officer defeated!"]]
Line 1,061:
*** Particularly if said by the Ragman for his soft, deep chanting or Acheron with his quick and to-the-point rapid throwing of one word after the other. And then of course there's the sound of whatever superspell you were casting activating. Hearing that mole in the ground stop, the skies light up in a blaze of glory, the sound of giant beanstalks growing out of the ground, that howling wind or [[The Grim Reaper|that]] [[Evil Laugh|chuckle]].
** Pretty much anything a titan says:
{{quote| "[[Kill It with Fire|I]] [[Winged Humanoid|am]] [[Everything's Better with Monkeys|here]]."<br />
"[[Badass Boast|I am death incarnate]]."<br />
A [[Mighty Glacier|Rhinok]]'s [[Evil Laugh|chuckling]].<br />
Line 1,068:
* The sound that your [[Call a Smeerp a Rabbit|Tiger]] makes when you win a fight in [[Monster Rancher]]. "[[Grrrrrrr ROOOOAAAAARR]]!" }}
* The simple two words spoken in most [[Tom Clancy]] games upon eliminating an enemy, "Tango down"
{{quote| Particularly in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 with Hume (the team's sniper). *Boom* "Tango down." Thank you sir, may I have another?}}
* [[Your Mileage May Vary]] but the dialup-esque beeps and whirs you get in [[PlanetSide]] when hacking a door with an army of twitchy soldiers behind you seems almost musical once you associate it with the raw chaos of a base assault.
* An old, old 8-bit version, from the Commodore 64 version of [[Elite]]: "RIGHT ON, COMMANDER!"
Line 1,101:
** Also, any of the quotes your opponents have on a showdown when the wind suddenly turns in the player's favor. Special mention goes to Max's gleeful "Frustration!" and Tycho's "''Heeell'' no".
* [[Myth]] just fought a pretty hard battle most of your troops are dead and then...
{{quote| new units recievied}}
* The level-up sound in [[RunescapeRuneScape]]. It's so satisfying to hear those fireworks after all that training.
** Whenever your Ring of Wealth affects a drop, a clinking coin sound is heard. It's ''extremely'' satisfying to hear.
* The audio track "Blameless Thoughts" in ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]''. It plays on your way out of any dungeon after you've beaten the boss and taken (or returned to Odin) the artifacts therein, and replaces the existing background music. It's the game's way of saying, "Yeah, Lenneth just made this place her bitch," and it's damn satisfying to walk out of the clear halls of a dungeon with this playing.
Line 1,129:
** The little chimes that play when you recieve tribute.
* The magnificent swelling of sound and the wind chime noises that follow in the Sierra logo. An entire generation of gamers feel an intense rush of nostalgia upon hearing the euphonic sequence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQZhIypTYZw&feature=related
* Ya know, isn't it just pure bliss, that usually in crossover games or even in [[Nostalgia Level|nostalgia levels in some games]] you can just hear those sounds, those lovely bleeps and bloops which you have always grown up with being used again in their respective places, referring on [[Where It All Began|those times?]] I'm looking at you [[Super Smash Bros.|Brawl!]]
* [[Dark Reign]]:
** The sound of heavy defense turrets firing, whether they be Heavy Rail Platforms or Neutron Accelerators.
Line 1,144:
** [[Patriotic Fervor|"EMBRACE DEMOCRACY OR YOU WILL BE ERADICATED."]]
* ''[[Parasite Eve]]'': Whenever Aya casts [[Kamehame Hadouken|Energy Shot]]. *''Rrrrrrrnnnnn...akashinnnnnnnngggg!''* or [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Liberation]]. In the second game, the M249 has a most satisfying [[More Dakka|firing sound]].
* For this troper, everything that [[Super Smash Bros.]] has is an eargasm. Anything that the characters say during their [[Limit Break|Final Smashes]] is just awesome.
** Falcon...PAWNCH!
** COME ON! Bluuuuuue Falcon!
Line 1,159:
* ''[[Crimzon Clover]]'':
** The "[[Super Mode|BREAK]] STANDBY" beep. And of course, the BREAK MODE sound itself.
** [[One 1-Up|EXTEND!]]
** The "game complete" jingle.
* The sound of Cole's Lightning Storm touching down in ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'', carving a path of destruction across the city. The best part is when you can't hear the electricity anymore because its far away, all you can hear is the thundering rumbles from the sky reminding you that Cole is harnessing nature itself to annihilate his enemies. Seeing their still sparking corpses hanging lifeless for a few seconds before collapsing is just icing on the cake.
* ''[[Child of Eden]]'', when you defeat the [[Final Boss]]: {{spoiler|''[[Awesome Music|"Let's get away flyyyyy awayyyyy / I found the path to paradise / Shining spiral of gold / Take my hand, fly away aaaand..."]]''}}
* [[X (video game)|Ship Computer Control Transferred]]. Basically translates to "Yay! New ship!". Good when it's a bigger ship than what you've got, or a transport ship when you're looking to get in on trading. Still good if it's smaller as you could always [[Vendor Trash|just sell it at the nearest shipyard.]]
* The piano chord you get in [[LAL.A. Noire]] when picking the correct choice in an interrogation.
* Any of the finisher taunts in ''[[Baten Kaitos]]''. The voice acting is terrible, but that fails to make it any less satisfying.
** "I'll show you what a man of the sky can do!"
Line 1,192:
* In the ''[[Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow]]'' series. The "Sssssssssss DING!" noise that signals a soul being released from a monster. It means that you can stop grinding that one monster over and over again, because you just got a new toy to play with.
* From [[Ace Combat]] 6: "Garuda Team, thought you could use some cover!" The sound that follows is your Allied Support meter rocketing up to the maximum level as whole swarms of planes move in to support your vastly-outnumbered squadron, allowing you to call in massive counter-strikes.
* The PSI activation noise and the triumphant new-PSI-learned jingle in ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]'' and ''[[Mother 3]]''.
* The FUS RO DAH! spell from ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]''.
* The buzzing of the variometer announcing a rising thermal when flying a glider in ''[[Microsoft Flight Simulator]]''.
** The squeaking noise your planes landing gear makes during a smooth touchdown.
Line 1,206:
* Anytime [[Tara Platt|Green Heart]] says something in ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Hyperdimension Neptunia.]]''
* In ''[[Dota 2]], whenever you kill Storm spirit, the king of [[Most Annoying Sound]], you can hear a hero say, "SHUT UP, STORM SPIRIT."
* The bell-ringing to signify the end of the round in ''[[Kinnikuman: Muscle Fight]]'' is wonderful because it shows the player's domination over their opponent.
