Personally, music sets the mood for me.
If I don't like the music, Then the game suffers for me.
If it is good music, then it really adds to the gameplay. But if it is not too good, I will usually just put some other music on....yep.
Music can make or break a game for me.
The only music I listen too. Yeah, it's important. Sometimes you can't figure out what makes a decent game suck. And it turns out the music does suck. Music helps set the mood for what you want. It makes creepy parts of games that much creepier.
I will buy a game if I find out the soundtrack is amazing and the game looks somewhat interesting. If that same game didn't have an awesome soundtrack I probably wouldn't buy it.
It doesn't really matter to me.
I do like music in games, but I can just as easily mute/turn down the volume if I don't like it. :p
Only with TGM Tetris, and that's mostly the piece entry noises. The way the music turns off at the level boundaries helps too. It's a lot harder without the sound.
wait...zf, didn't you post this on NSider a month or so ago?
:O
Music won't affect whether or not I'll buy the game, but it does affect how much I'll like it.
Music is everything. I NEED music in a game.
Out of the entire combination of different aspects to a game, Music represents 5% of how I determine a good game from a bad one. Sound counts for 5% by itself as well.
Extremely.
Although, if it's my 360, I don't give a darn because I have my own music >_>
