What music do you listen to while gaming and do you listen to certain artists or songs for certain games
>>
>>342079564
I listen to whatever gets my butthole quivering for some assplay
>>
I listen to the game unless it's a really simple game with no real need for sound. Last game I played that I listened to music with was Super Meat Boy and I just put on whatever I wanted to listen to at the time and not anything specific.
>>
im addicted to playing videogames on mute with my own music its pretty autistic. It comes to the point where i won't play a game just because i want to listen to my music
>>
>>342079564
German/Russian marches when playing Warthunder.
Eurobeat when playing fast paced game like UT4
>>
I like listening to Duran Duran usually. Astronaut and Red Carpet Massacre are great albums for gaming.
>>
Normally dadrock if I want to listen to something else. Namely Rush or the Blue Öyster Cult.
>>
I don't understand how people can play games with any music except the one the game already has. It usually doesn't fit the game, won't sync with when you enter combat or whatever and its distracting.

Then again I'm the kind of person that can do nothing when I'm listening to music.
>>
i listen to Howard Stern
>>
When playing hack n slash games like Dynasty Warriors I like to listen to viking metal bands like Týr and Amon Amarth.
>>
>>342080221
Have you played bloodborne, If not it has a great soundtrack but playing hoziers album works so much better, his music matches with the entire game
>>
>>342080221
After playing the same game for a few hundred hours the music it comes with normally starts to grate on me.
>>
>>342080320
Anon I'll listen to that but right now you are a heretic in my book, Bloodborne's OST is god tier and the thought of replacing it is anathema to me.
>>
>>342080854
I understand that bloodborne ost is godly but listening to hozier ma lyrics while walking theough the torn streets of yharnham is something you should try but keep bloodborne music for boss fights
>>
>>342079564
I'll listen to anything that resembles or samples chiptune music.

>>342080315
How many times does the band have to shit on you people before you stop calling them Viking metal?
>>
Most of the time, I listen to the game's audio. I might put on music of my own in situations such as grinding for a drop in a hunting game or in a turn-based strategy I've already played to death. Most of my entire library is slow, easy listening so I can just shuffle and be satisfied.
An anomaly was when the audio bugged out in Torchlight 2 and I was forced to mute it. I decided to put on Ben Howard that day and the album looped as I played and now I think of Torchlight 2 whenever I hear a Ben Howard song.

Either Iron Maiden or Eurobeat

Multiplayer games are literally the only time where it's acceptable to not use the game's own audio

Whoa there friend. If Iron Maiden is so terrible, educate me on some essential dadrock.

Terrible and dadrock are actually redundant.

>>
>>342083379
If something is dadrock, it's already terrible.

Saying terrible dadrock is akin to saying stupid stupidhead.
>>
I like arena shooters, so I tend towards really fast, up tempo, electronic music to get my blood pumping.

Usually depends on the game and the moment i played these great songs during ME3 ending sequence

This during the Catalyst sequence when its arming and everything

Wanting to listen to your music is a pretty damn great excuse surely?

Thrash and death metal when playing stuff like Serious Sam or Doom wads.
Eurobeat for racing games.

If I'm playing Armored Cores 1-3rd generation, I typically whip out my Daft Punk. If I'm playing 4th gen, I have a bevy of jazzy themes I listen to. If it's 5th gen, I find industrial rock.

Best soundtrack in all of video games.

The "people are the heroes now" piece prompted me to watch the entire Nixon in China opera. Really good decision.

There is none. Dadrock is lame and embarrassing music that clueless dad's would listen to. Most good artists are far away from the term dadrock as possible.

What's a good way to find music to play games to? I always have problems finding good fast-paced music to play games to that have little to no lyrics. Usually just put one track on and repeat it. Never had much luck with things like spotify.

80's Rock.

And not just the occasional ACDC.

I got Billy Joel, Scorpions, Asia, and others.

I was born in 89, I definitely don't relate to any serious jokes or trends from that musical age, but so many songs are so catchy. Fuck.

>>342080003
>Eurobeat when playing fast paced game like UT4
See I'm the polar opposite
I listen to chill music in the few games where I turn the BGM off (DMC 4, UT99, The Fallout games)
I have a handful of really fast tracks and albums in my playlist but over half of it is mellow hip hop (currently a metric fuck ton of DOOM)

I listen to music from other racing games while playing racing games that don't have music.

It doesn't really fit but Wangan Midnight with Grid, Initial D with Dirt Rally etc.

Other than that there is no reason not to listen to the in game soundtrack in my view.
