Do you generally listen to music whilst playing games?

Personnally I do, but only in games where it's not massively story focused or if im playing through a campaign for the first time, for example; I usually play music during Borderlands or when playing online on Homefront.

No. I only listen to whatever the game supplies me with.raven_squad

What he said. Feels a bit disrespectful to the composer if I don't. And for the most part, I enjoy it.

Rarely, because change in the game music is often a cue that something is about to happen.

Nope. That's the first thing I turn off. I can't get immersed if there's music playing.

Depends on the game. I'll normally listen to my own music while grinding for EXP in World of Warcraft, or mining in Minecraft. But I'll listen to the game music when playing through the story in games like Persona 3 or Tales of Vesperia because those games have a much bigger emphasis on story, I don't want my own music to play over the dialogue. (And the music in those games are pretty good anyway.)

Depends on what I'm doing. Usually if I'm going for a platinum that requires me to do something over and over(like Resonance of Fate's arena) I'll turn the volume down and have something else playing in the background to keep me entertained.:P

Depends really...if I am playing a FPS online sometimes I listen to music or something like that, but in SP games I usually just listen to the in game music. So genrally I would say no.

If I'm playing something like a sports game or racing game, I might listen to music or sports talk radio. But for the most part, not really.

depends on the game, if it's online mp then usually I do, or if it's an rts I'll probably have it in the bg. Other than that I tend to have my other TV on either the history channel or reruns of 90s sitcoms. If it's a sp game then usually it's just the game through my stereo, or if I want to go all out I take it to my TV hooked up to a pair of B&W 802Ds and that truely makes a game's sound come alive. I can't wait to play BF3 with them.

Nope, I prefer to hear the game music, SFX, and voices.

mainly when i play fallout, oblivion, halo, and fps

In racing games mostly. Their soundtracks usually suck.

only in games where it's not massively story focused.MCMXCV-Daedalus

I tend to do this except with iTunes podcasts not music.

Generally, I listen to what the game has to offer and that's pretty much all the time. But sometimes, if the soundtrack is pretty bad, I listen to music that I have stored on my computer and mute the TV.

Not really. Only when i play sports games. The rest of the time i am enjoying in-game soundtracks and such...

^Definitely this. I love video game music.

No, I don't listen to music while playing games.

I listen to GamerFM while playing TF2 and SC2(1v1)

If it's for Multiplayer gaming, I'll turn on some Green Day or whatever. If it's for Single Player, I'll play it however the Developer did to the game (unless the game music sucks).

It all just depends, though.

I don't. I like to focus on the game and would become distracted during cut scenes or dialogue.

Almost always, otherwise I get distracted or bored.

I only have on Forza since there is no music. I dont really feel like hearing cars for a few hours straight y'know? Generally though, no i do not.

Playing MMOs sure, in SP games it's a sin not to listen to the soundtrack of the game.

yes. i listen to the soundtrack of the game

Only during MMORPG's while training since it can get very boring. I tried playing music during Team Fortress 2 but it was just too distracting and it was hard to focus.

Not often, maybe once in a while. Usually only during MP. I have had to listen to music while playing SP games a few times because the games soundtrack was so bad.

Only if I cant stand the ingame music.

FO3/NV for instance, both full of big band/country music which I hate almost as much as I hate pop punk or rap. So I just stick some Thrash on.

I might listen when I'm playing online too, which always seems to be lacking in music.

I like to, but I don't have that luck all the time.
