...shouldn't this be in the forums?
Also, I tend to listen to in-game music before deciding whether or not I wanna keep it on or mute it. In some games, it's awful, but, in others (Jet Grind Radio anyone?) I think music is essential.
Depends on the music and the game I guess, I often like playing my own music over burnout paradise and GoW multiplayer. But on the other hand I wouldnt play music over the GoW campaign and the soundtrack can help build atmosphere and such.
Definitely depends on the game. In a game like Skate, I turn off the music and use my own. Much better times...
I really don't find myself muting the music ever though, I usually enjoy in-game music a lot.
Oh, Dynasty Warriors definitely gets the music turned off as well. I hate butt rock blaring while I'm trying to pretend I'm in ancient China.
Sometimes.
The most recent example that comes to mind is Blue Dragon. The voice acting in that, and the embarrassing battle music resulted in the quick press of the mute button. :P
Yeah, I mute sometimes when it's the same repetitive shit over and over again.
/looks at his copies of GTAIV and Forza 2
holy shit I didn't notice what you wrote in the VP image until just now. Fuckin awesome... I think :)
I usually have my TV's muted while gaming. I listen to talk radio most of the time.
I've also a go to list of songs. I'm sure some of you have heard me sing along to Metallica or maybe Rammstein or some other similar heavy metal songs. I tend to have a go to set that I like to have on. Stuff like Slayer's Reign in Blood album really sharpens me up for the ultra violence of my sega genesis.
Depends on the game. A fully story driven rpg or even fps (like Half life 2) tends to have music relevant to the situation; while my own music probably wont be so suitable. On the other hand, for more open rpg's, multiplayer fps', or rts games, i'll almost always listen to my music (if i listen to it at all - sometimes you need to hear the game). Some games i play just because i can listen to my music while playing, and i feel the need to do something besides.
I usually feel out the game before I decide to put on other stuff. If its a epic story driven game like Metal Gear Solid 4, I let the game take over. But others, its almost expected to put on other music.
Sepultura while I mow down armies in Warhammer 40K:Dawn of War worked pretty nicely with whiskey cokes >:-D
I went through the entire Highlander series on my PC while I leveled up my guys in Suikoden 1, 2 and 3.
RetroforceGo and Pixel Junk Monsters is a nice treat.
Anything from www.di.fm/ works wonders from Unreal Tournament to Myst. Such a wide variety of trance genres as well as jazz, classical, piano, etc etc. I've been a fan of that site for years now. I highly recommend it.
