Ah yes! This vibe. I know it well. I'd say with very little doubt that it's the old-west-made-new vibe that you see in cyberpunk-style titles on the older consoles. This kind of track would play in a futuristic bar, dingy and grey with shady figures lurking in shadows. Your character approaches the counter and orders a Blue Saturn, no ice.
"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this-"
A patchy, hooded figure sitting next to you at the bar lays a crowbar on the bench and you're given two choices:
A. [Thank the man for the Half-Life reference, but let him know your blaster is better suited]
or
B. [Begin the bar brawl]
