Star Wars Battlefront. It's a shit game but the sound is absolutely incredible on a 7.1 system.

Dice games in general have the best sound.

Red orchestra 2 audio design might just give you PTSD. One of my favorite parts of the game. A game that became enjoyable for me after I found out how to not die right away.

this is actually correct

it has some of the best visuals and sound I've ever experienced in a video game

Too bad the game's so shallow.

I only play Alien: Isolation if I use headphones. I'm not saying it's the best, but it's best experienced with headphones.

bad company 1 and 2 have supersexy sound design

mgs4's gun sounds and sound placement in the game world. It always felt accurate where enemies and npc's were in the game

red dead redemption - western cowboy shooty gun sounds have no match, and they pack a punch

last of us - there is a setting that makes guns feel really loud and fucked up, approaching the level of how you'd actually hear them if they were fired near you, or at you

Metal Gear Solid 4 and V do a very well job with this, all the background noise, especially in 4, the european level, where they not only took pictures for references, they also recorded authentic (german?) city noise and train station noise.

Oh, yeah, gameplay and story wise i couldn't agree more, it also has the most boring boss in my opinion (and most ugly)

But the sound, anon, you have to shut down all the music in the game manually and then experience it, you will get what i mean.

Isn't that annoying with TLOU though?
Usually when the game has loud as fuck gunshots I have to turn down the sound effects, or the whole volume, so I don't annoy other people. In both cases it's annoying because the rest of the game isn't loud enough.

>Oh. My. Goodness! My senses feel assaulted … as would my wallet, if I had had to pay for these. With every smack of the snare and blare of a trumpet my eyes wince in pain. Fast transient edges are transformed into indiscriminate micro-bursts of tizz. Likewise, low notes are powerful, but have lost all definition as they are reduced to a bloated blur. The mid-range seems like it could be pretty good, but I hear it as so disconnected from all else that I could hardly keep track of what’s what in the confused aural picture. I’ve heard worse headphones before, but for $2749 these have got to be the worst price/performance headphones I’ve ever experienced.

No, it's a feature you pay exuberant money for, and it's very polarizing. Moving the sound forward and down is actually a good effect, but these headphones go way too far.

In case this isn't just /mu/bait:
I'm not an expert on this but interested aswell.

I can say though that Bloodborne has EXCELLENT sound-design. You can not only see your surroundings but also hear everything. There's a chapel full of werewolves and its chilling to just stand there and hear their footsteps slowly getting louder and closer

The music is really good too
