>That guy who does things differently to me
Stop it with these shitty threads

>That friend who's a fucking phoneposter.

Doing this is one of the 6 sins of gaming, user. Stop it now.

if the game is not story driven, or if the game at least doesn't have a lot of voiced audio, I will turn on a podcast and listen as I play.

>not also browsing Sup Forums while away from home

>Being away from home
Phoneposter normies go and stay go

Nice choice as well. I dropped the Dick Show after a couple weeks when I realized it was shit

Literally this.

so how would you defend yourself against the T-800 model Terminator robot without any weapons?

I always do that if the game is multiplayer base, the game has a shite soundtrack, or I have played through it more than a million times.

Otherwise, especially if the game is storybased, I will leave the music on. There's just no point in listening to the shitty ass soundtrack in games like hearts of iron or victoria 2 when you could be listening to some motherfucking aphex twin (or historical songs) while playing them

A huge fucking pit disguised as a pile of leaves. Luckily all T-800s either look like Schwarzenegger or a fucking robot so I'll know when it's coming. I haven't listened to this week's episode yet, did they finally debate it? I liked Weird McConaughey's answer

I do this with shitty forgettable music. Used to play Kerbal Space with Interstellar, Moon and a bunch of other OSTs.

I listen to music on my earbuds while playing any single player game.

Because games, particularly lately, really undervalue how a good soundtrack can amp up the mood of a game.

Look at BotW, good game, buts soundtrack is utter trash, the fuck is that battle theme. Listen to previous zelda OST while playing and its far better.

In some cases the soundtrack can be the crowning achievement, aka Hotline Miami. So if a dev doesnt want a memorable soundtrack to go with their game, fuck em then Ill play my own music.

>not playing Goy4 with one of the many music mods
Kaiserreich and Fatherland for example have pretty good ones

The only time id ever do that would be when grinding or farming content id done many times before, on an mmo or some shit like that but thats it.

>that guy who lives in the mountains alone but thinks his opinion matters

This is the best way to play online games.

But the worst way to play anything else.

>that faggot on Sup Forums who listens to video game music

listening to the ost of a game you've already played a bunch (especially something like a fighting game) can get pretty grating no matter how good the tracks are.

EYE: divine cybermancy. The sound design was so shitty I couldn't stand it. Space hip hop suited it much better anyway

I do that occasionally for multiplayer stuff I've played a million times over where there's no relevant sound design (ex. needing to hear characters saying they're using their ults in overwatch for example.)

Issue with these games is you dump hundred of hours into listening to the same loop over and over again.

I can just enhance the experience by my own curated list of Wehrmacht marches.

>made your friend play a game a so boring they have to listen to their own music to divert attention from it

Haven't played it yet, but while I can see what they were going for with the nature sounds I was immediately upset when they announced that there wasn't going to be a traditional soundtrack.

>Watching a friend play single player games
>He skips all cutscenes and dialogue

>he doesn't do 1v1 duels in for honor while listening to youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64

>that friend who keeps the volume up too high and has his mic pick it up when gaming online.

>tfw my dad always had music on all day
>play vidya on mute, free jazz playing
>hes reading a book, some other chaotic shit playing
>we watchin hockey on mute, classical music playing

Seriously nigger, I'm not listening to oh so epic, uninspired orchestral music for the nth time.

>not reading quest descriptions

For the most part it's literally just instrumental and orchestral scores, man. For a composer the game industry is one of the best to get into.

>that guy who listens to podcasts while grinding in an RPG
>that guy who talks with his friend while playing, making the guy repeat himself over and over because he wasn't paying attention

thats nice

>buts soundtrack is utter trash
Is it? I thought they were aping Joe Hisaishi in the trailers and it sounded pretty good. Haven't played it yet though.

>He bought For Honor

>that friend

It wasn't worth $60 but it's a fun enough game.

>Space hip hop

I listen to podcast and videos of lectures and conferences when replaying games. I also like to play shit like Total War or Endless Legend while reading stuff.

>complains that the game is dumb later
>or complains that he doesn't know what to do.

play automata

do you even carry the weight of the world faggot?

my man

>that friend who doesn't turn off the game's music and plays his own while talking on skype in loud gun games
jesus christ why are you even surprised you have tinnitus you crispy fuck

I usually turn off music for boss battles because it fucks up my focus.

...

post GOAT video game/music combinations

always blast pic related when playing Doom WADS

>being this much of a sperg

The theme you hear in the trailers is the only decent one, and thats heard at the very start and end of the game only.

Everything else is really tonedeaf, almost 'minimalistic' in a way and it doesnt flow with the gameplay at all.

>playing games for the story

>In some cases the soundtrack can be the crowning achievement

I see you have played Undertale too

Oh that's a shame. Zelda practically pioneered dynamic and fitting soundtracks.

I am at the moment, the soundtrack is great, but I think I walked in expecting another platinum game and ive been punched in the face for it now that im playing 9S.

Stellaris Soundtrack actually sucks and repeats the same thing over and over.

I'll play whatever sabaton track I want to play while purgin all other species from existence.

Mass Effect 3, when the Reaper is staring you down on Rannoch and Shepard is aiming the beam at it.
It's just orchestral choir shit but it's good.

Nope. Didnt like the look of gameplay, and the hype behind it calling it the 'greatest game of all time' turned me off.

Undertale's a pretty cool game but I can't imagine I'd have enjoyed it if I didn't play it (mostly) blind when it was just first coming out. Definitely not some best of all time, though the soundtrack might just be.

your experience is always determined by expectations
I expected an action rpg with good combat and got way more out of the game than just that
I wouldn't say the combat is amazing or anything, but it is really good in comparison to other games representing the genre like witcher

Uh yeah no. Not the greatest game of all time, but it's definitely a solid, compact RPG. The creator is a musician by trade so he clearly understands that the music in a game can elevate it, and he did a great job with the ost.

It also helps that the combat system is rather novel, and I wouldn't have played through it if it just had shitty turn-based combat (music or not). I'd recommend it, especially as only a 6 hour experience.

they get repetitive very fast because I tend to play for hours straight. More over, the songs are just military marches you can easily find on youtube and listen to them from there while you play

I had to do this with Persona 5. Great soundtrack, but I was going fucking insane hearing the same lyrics over and over and over again when battling. Any time I go into a palace it's spotify time.

>>that guy who talks with his friend while playing, making the guy repeat himself over and over because he wasn't paying attention
My brother used to do this. Fucking annoying as hell. I had to flat out tell him not to call me when he's playing a single player game.

This is on-point. I was actually rather impressed by the combat in the end. I've heard some people complain that there's "less combo" options than Bayonetta, but while that may be true for its thin selection of Light-Heavy combos, they still give the player a lot of tools to play with and mix into the default attacks.

The animations are also very well done.

wait, there's lyrics in the P5 battle music? I haven't played it yet, but I hate when an RPG doesn't nail the battle themes, since you typically have to hear them *so* many times. I feel like lyrics would be a definite "no".

Playing through Ni No Kuni, while I like the OST and actual battle theme I got so tired of hearing that 2-measure string intro:
youtu.be/H8_AdryziH4

I hate this. I only play my own music if the game has no music or if I've already heard the music a million times (like League of Legends), and even then I make sure to keep the sound effects loud enough that I can hear them.

Yeah, out of all themes to have lyrics, it's a fucking stupid choice. But this is a thing in most of all the Persona games and I equally hate it in all of them after a while. Here's the Persona 5 battle theme if you want to hear it youtube.com/watch?v=JwKHxzfmAOY

and damn haven't thought about Ni No Kuni in a long time. That damn battle got to me as well for some reason. Though, if I remembering correctly, they did have the decency to have a different regular battle theme haflway through the game.

>Not turning off all music and sound effects to 10% to listen to ambient ost.

Plebs

Agreed, the guy is like ZUN with the piano. It's impressive.

There's a reason why people meme about BABYBABYBABYBABYBABY in Persona 3. Because you will hear that thousands of times over the course of 80 hours.

On the flipside, it's still one of the best battle themes out there.

This is only acceptable in multiplayer games.

Try and fucking stop me.

Psycho Killer by Talking Heads while playing Space Station 13.

Did this with Nier Automata

god hearing those faggy chink shits on repeat over and over again when i'm trying to fight something was insufferable

The game is a pile of dogshit. And no amount of your buyers remorse makes it "good".

Fun is a buzzword

>faggy chink shits
What did he mean by this?

>Watch my little brother play
>He always skips cutscenes
>Gets confused as to who people are and what he's supposed to be doing
>Get him a new game for his birthday
>Tell him not to skip the cutscenes or he wont understand the story
>He nods and says "Ok"
>Lasts 8 seconds into the first cutscene and skips it
>Starts asking me who people are

I don't get this shit. Do you not care to find out what the universe is that you're playing within? Or maybe what the protagonist's fucking motivation is?

Yeah most game's narratives are camp but that can be part of the appeal

buy him max payne 3

>skips all the bullshit and just gets right into the GAME in his VIDEO GAME
sounds like a cool guy to me

five hours in I just muted music and voices altogether.

that dialogue is so fucking awful, OST is trash as well but my god the writing for this game is cringe inducing garbage. I really didn't want to also turn subs off so I could focus on just the "game" part of it and not the autistic high school deviant art tier fanfiction writing but god damn did I come close. it's hilarious how seriously this shit takes itself while throwing out every uninspired anime trope under the sun, Taro is maybe the most pretentious hack in all of vidya and I do mean that given how fervently his fans praise him.

fuck Sup Forums for unironically enjoying this drivel.

I had a friend ("had" being the key word) where I witnessed him skipping through dialogue in a JRPG of all games. Then he complained later that the game was dumb and he didn't know what was going on.

No shit, you're basically just playing turn-based battles. You need some motive/drive for the progression of the game.

>skipping the VIDEO part of the VIDEO GAME

...

Well sometimes cutscenes are just shit and there's often better ways to deliver that information (Though forced waiting, walking segments and overburdening a game with characters that never shut up are generally inferior to just a straight cutscene). I don't get completely ignoring every cutscene and all dialogue though.

You should be able to skip all cutscenes and at least skip forward past each subtitle segment in dialogue.

Video portion is integrated into the game portion.
A game without cutscenes is still a video game.

Why? Sorry I like to listen to Bodies by Drowning Pool while stomping Goombas.

There's like three songs total in Stellaris.

I will turn on my own music in a brawler or fighting game and try to sync up my attacks with the music.

There's nothing better than fighting Azel in God Hand to this youtube.com/watch?v=VjR7JZbdONs

you're a normie faggot for being away from home
you're an autistic fag for browsing the 4chin outside

Jesse please.

He wouldn't be my friend for long.

The soundtrack to BotW is great, it's the sound design that is fucking shit.

They went for the immersion meme. Instead of having climactic moments written and produced by people who know how to design ADVENTURES, they decided to let (You) design your own adventure in a world of right angles and fuck all, with complimentary piano clinks.

I sure do love hearing the sound of fauna that pop in, make their shitty sound effect, then run off and disappear while still in the frame. Really gets the immersion pumping, I really feel like I'm in a cohesive world full of life.

Nintendo hasn't made a decent game since Iwata became CEO

Oh I'm sorry I don't want to listen to overwatch music for the 10000000000000000000000000000th time

fuck this shit thread, sage

I can see that working for Munster Hunter

I do this too user, I always listen to it the first 3 or so tries because of the atmosphere the dev tried to make, but If i wanna just beat it then I play much better if there's no sound.
