I was replaying Doom 3 earlier for the first time in years and what really amazed me was how good the game still sounds! Absolutely top notch...only games that come close imo are the Penumbra series and Stalker series possibly Cryostatis. The gun sounds in Bad Company 2 are worth a mention aswell! What do you guys think?

Fine, BFBC2 then.

Why? Sound design is just as important as Graphics because it makes or brakes the atmosphere if you play a horror game without sound it isn't scary anymore same as if the sound didn't fit in a game like that if the sound is off it could easily brake the atmosphere that the game is going for.

If you played a horror game without a good atmosphere then sound wouldn't matter. So they're both equally important.

I guess your right. I should probably edit my post to say just as important of graphics. But that post was because he was laughing and everyone always underrates what sound can do to a video game.

I laughed at the name, not the concept. Any "king" threads always make me lol.

Sound is more important to me than graphics. In fact, one of the first things I look for in a game is the quality of the music/sound fx/voice acting, etc.

Bioshock, for example, when I played the first 5 minutes of the game, I was blown away by the amazing sound. So much so, that when someone asks me why Bioshock is a great game, the first thing that I mention is the quality of the audio package.

Good people that actually understand the importance of sound! Anyone played System Shock 2 at night with the sound up and the lights off? Its funny how quickly you forget the game looks like crap! Sound is an absolutely fundamental part of atmosphere which to me is one of the most important aspects of a game. If im not "into" a game I will not enjoy anywhere near as much as I should. Another reason why im mainly a pc gamer, sitting up close to a monitor with headphones on to me is much more imersive than relaxing back on a sofa with a controller!

I thought it would fit quite nicely into system wars :) Was I wrong? You guys dont seem to be happy unless your fighting over who/what is the King of something or other!

Yeah, Company of Heroes sounds awsome. The actual effects aint all that amazing (yeah they are probably the best SFX in a RTS) but what i realy liked was the voice acting. It was amazing when you are playing, you send out a patrol, forget about it, then you hear them screaming over the radio how they are getting wiped out. Overall Company of Heroes is probably the greatest game ever relaesed (if you ignore the MPs catastrophic balance issues)

Do they? I was never particularly impressed with Crysis sound effects! I remember playing it immediately after Half life 2 and thinking to myself how can a much more advanced game sound so much worse!

Dead Space is my number one pick. Games like Bad Company 2 and a lot of the other shooters people are mentioning have great sound as well, but none of them really stand out to me, as most of them host similar military-esquesound effects... Dead Space as a whole just sounds incredibly unique and it probably has among the most immersive sound effects I have ever heard in a video game.

for Counter Strike Source. Oh yeah, I downloaded a death sound pack as well that sounded not too bad.
