How could you skip the track of underhalls? What compelled you to commit such heresy?

Yeah. I can't imagine playing all of Redneck Rampage with the soundtrack turned on. The songs are pretty good, don't get me wrong, but the ambient sounds give it such a weird and kind of spooky atmosphere

It has better atmosphere with the music off but i usually keep them on for doom turn them off for redneck rampage >>12362060

Somewhat related, i always turn the radio off during silent hill games. too distracting from the atmosphere

and during age of empires the music usually didn't play anyway so I got used to the silent atmosphere

>am i quirky and interesting?
No. You're just an underage attention whore faggot.

i only connect my mpu-401 compatible midi interface and sound canvas to my speakers, so i hear nothing but midi music from my computer.

>>12362039

I can't imagine playing Rise of the Triad without music. It practically carries the game.

well... you didn't beat the game

>>12362039
Yea I turned the music off because that's how the developer meant for it to be played

Not a shooter but I used to play this game on MAME back in the early 2000s and it didn’t have any sound back then, so I would play this song in the background. It actually fits the game in a weird way:

get out of my house you sluts!

If it's a game I've played a bunch I usually put on some metal or punk or whatever anyways.

>>12362039
depends
some of em can suck
tho now that i think of it, i cant actually think of a shmup i play with any sort of frequency where the OST sucks. that might actually be the only reason i play shmups, since im not very good at them
>star soldier games
>aleste games
>battlemania
>thunder force games
i bet its the weebshit
i dont play weebshooters well, battlemania, but that games rly fuckin gud so i bet thats the problem. most animu has garbage frustrated-theater-major tier compositions, so i bet the shmups where youre a literal little girl are prolly like that

In the early 2000s my house didn't have internet connection yet so I used to play CS 1.6 with bots while listening to Dream Theater.
Funny thing is I told this on 4chan once (don't remember if it was /vr/ or /v/) and someone said they did the same thing!

Being a 90s metalfag kid the synth guitars sounded very lame to me. I think I listened to like four bars of Doom soundtrack, turned it off, and never heard it again until way past 2000. Maybe if we had a better sound card I would've enjoyed it though, like the continue music from EWJ2, that sounded fine to me because the samples had some weight.

Based. I love playing Hexen with Marduk Dreams of Blood and Iron on repeat. Fits perfectly.

E1M3 was the only Doom song I truly loved.

Pre-2003 games: music stays on
Post-2003 games: turn that shit off and play something else

UT2k3 is enhanced with Machine Head's album The Blackening blaring in the background

>Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Blood feel so much more atmospheric and eerie with the music turned off.
Yes, but Doom 64 and Quake feel so much more atmospheric and eerie with the music turned on

PSX Doom too, forgot about it.

I never listened to any doom clone music, I was normally listening to a rock/heavy cd or talking with the rest of the family and listening some TV show.

One game where I turned the music UP was... fuck what was it called, the game the Stalker developers made before Stalker, around 2002? It had music by the same guy as Stalker but completely different in style, more like Prodigy or Chemical Brothers. The game was just so-so.

Found it, FireStarter, 2003.

OP here, totally agreed. That's because their music is brilliant dark ambient that sounds amazing to this day. I wouldn't turn it off to save my life.

Any game i ever played i turn the music off. Got annoying too fast. Plus you can just play your own, wtf.

>>12362039
midi is fucking awesome, I'm not surprised you posted such a shitty image with your soulless shit opinion.

some of the most fun my bros and i ever had back in the day was driving around to little computer stores to rummage through their bargain bins for things that might be sound cards. just straightup bins of unmarked green ISA-interface pcbs, socketing them in and trying to finagle them to work with soundblaster-compatible config settings. every single one sounded different so it was like a different experience in doom each time
