Forums - Gaming Discussion - Do you listen to music while gaming?

When I play a game, I usually like to have some music in the background. Usually I'll just put on an AC/DC album and lose myself in a game.

What do you guys do? What kind of music do you listen to while gaming? Do you listen to music at all? Everyone I've ever met in real life doesn't listen to any. I was just wondering if I was the only one.

Never. Only the in-game music (but sometimes I switch the in-game mp3s to other ones that fit the game).



Sometimes, but usually the in-game music satisfies me enough.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

In game music... normally fits the game better if its a good game



I only listen to what the game plays.



Around the Network

Only when playing an EA sports game, they have some of the worst music. So I just put my own on because then I'm able to enjoy the game way more (even if there's a couple audio cues that could help out).



When the in game music isn't good enough I usually change for...moar game music. Normally I change the music for some epic final boss music, like Dark King http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORMeyEOmQaQ&feature=related



Above: still the best game of the year.

Depends on the game. If it's a fighter or sports game then i'll play custom music ( IF possible ). If it's a story driven epic such as MGS4, Uncharted 2 or Heavy Rain I stick to the game's score.
