[Disgraced]

The Witcher series, the Metro series. A lot of disgusting, wicked shit in the former and a bazillion skulls in the latter.

I mean, one of Geralt's pseudonyms is the Butcher of Blaviken. I would post pics of some of the metal-as-hell creatures and other art but I consider that spoiling.

I really, really don't get the DMC 3 answers. It's not metal at all. It's more like a vis Kei game.

My vote goes to guilty gear

The game is pretty mediocre but it's metal as fuck. The art is great and the OST is comprised of a bunch of Japanese Thrash/Speed/Power/Death Metal bands.

Does this count?

Spoiler

I may be only one in this forum who has played it

 

[zoleristec]

Devil's Crush

 

[AAK]

The winner is unanimously Brutal Legend. But if you remove Mai/Elphelt/Dizzy Guilty Gear is definitely up there.

 

[Easy_D]

Heavy Metal F.A.K.K 2 is pretty metal

 

[Dark_castle]

[MikeDown]

Club Penguin

 

[Morrigan Stark]

I adore this game, but.... huh?

Spoiler

I guess demons made of metal is kind of metal, but that's stretching things...

 

[PaulloDEC]

I see plenty of folks (including the OP) already have it covered, but I couldn't resist the opportunity.

 

[Cucurbitacée]

Devil Crash!

And the most metal music cover for any game ever:

[EatChildren]

167 replies and only one mention of Shadows of the Damned. The game is a heavy metal album incarnate.

I came to post this, good job.

 

[Malawhur]

No love for Full Throttle?
Not game play wise but definitely for capturing the spirit of heavy metal

FT deserved a heavier soundtrack. Aside from that, the game is metal as fuck. Too easy, but fantastic anyway.

 

[RocknRola]

Man Brutal Legend was fun as hell. Shame it didn't do well on the sales front :S Would have loved more games in that Metal World!

 

[legbone]

Blackthorne for the SNES

damn right.

but i think metal gear revengeance (sp?), shadows of the damned (akira yamoaka's soundtrack is amazing also), wet (a guilty pleasure of mine, great soundtrack), and dmc (i know, i know) are all pretty metal. oh, almost forgot, bayonetta baby.

edit: shit, how did i forget doom? all incarnations except maybe 3. yeah, why not, let's include 3.

 

[CloudWolf]

Crusader Kings 2: The Ood Gods
Europa Universalis IV with the Sabaton and Guns, Drums and Steel DLC's installed

I always wanted to try this game. Good thing it's available digitally on the PS store.

 

[jimboton]

Rock'n Roll Racing, in a 70's metal kind of way.

 

[Frozenprince]

Brutal Legend ? You ain't gonna find more metal than that !

It might be the most metal thing in the history of metal things.

If it does ever get a sequel, it needs the metalocalypse cast as dethklok as characters though.

 

[Duggie_Brown]

Road Rash on the Saturn, PS1, PC and 3DO! Awesome Rock soundtracks from the likes of Sound Garden, PAW, Hammerbox to name a few.

Awesome grunge like art work with exaggerated artwork representing the insane character cast in this game! And let's not forget live action FMV!!!

This version of Road Rash was all about Rock, Heavy Metal and all out carnage!

 

[KiteGr]

GameTrailers did a Countdown back in the day.
Things haven't changed much since.

My pick?

 

[djtiesto]

And...

Lightening Force on the Genesis.

Surprised it took so long to be mentioned, Thunder Force IV (Lightening Force) is the first game I thought of.

If we stretch 'videogames' to include pinball, then Metallica/Iron Maiden/AC/DC tables.

 

[deriks]

Castlevania and Bloodborne.

It's not because it's gothic that it's metal. Those games are mostly classic piano music

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Actually gothic art/architecture goes well with metal

 

[SnowTeeth]

Skeleton Krew for some of the imagery.

 

[Demoskinos]

Metal Gear rising is more screamo emo than metal....rules of nature is an absurdly bad song although it works for the scene they put it in.

 

[Gen X]

Duke Nukem 3D springs to mind. Lobe Megadeths cover of the title track too.

 

[Lionheart1827]

F-Zero X
Doom
Quake 1/2

 

[NormalFish]

Old school fps is the answer for sure. DOOM, Quake, Wolfenstein, Shadow Warrior, etc. All scream metal to me.

Metal Slug is actually a pretty good answer, too. Those games definitely appeal to that same sort of metallic vibe that gets me listening to heavy music.

Why isn't she wearing a bra?

 

[Velikost]

Nightmare Creatures?

Knew people were gonna be saying Brutal Legend, but Brutal Legend sucks, and metal doesn't suck, sooooo

 

[tearsofash]

blackthorne on 32x.

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Nothing even comes close to Brutal Legend. It's pretty much the elephant in the room.

 

[nintendork666]

Mortal Kombat XL

=)

 

[neohwa]

Why isn't she wearing a bra?

.....is that a problem?

 

[Aske]

Why isn't she wearing a bra?

Because she's metal! See Doro Pesch.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Guilty Gear series( the soundtracks alone...)

 

[2+2=5]

What about a "metal" computer?

Absolutely. : D

 

[XANDER CAGE]

every time someone calls MGR's soundtrack the most metal anything I die a little inside

In terms of attitude and presentation, I think Cavia games (Drakengard, Nier, etc) and the Souls games (and King's Field, etc etc) are the most metal games around. Themes of despair, nihilism, apocalypse, the folly of religion, overwhelming supernatural forces, occult imagery, explorations of death, etc etc. The soundtracks themselves aren't metal, but everything else sure as hell is.

Excuse me, don't tell me wearing a bra isn't metal or that not wearing a bra is metal, thanks.

Can't speak for Nier but Soulsborne games, absolutely.

Came to mention this, probably the most metal game ever. Game's soundtrack is so kick ass that you want to keep playing even though it's really a mediocre game.
