dtgreene: Are there games where the soundtrack totally turns you off from playing the game? (Yes, I mostly copied this question from a previous post; I don't generally use the word "totally".) (For me, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne had this issue, which is one of the reasons I didn't finish it.)
For me, not at all. I often play with the volume down very low anyway, since I'm typically also listening to the radio or otherwise multitasking with my ears. Fortunately, many games have volume sliders (don't they all nowadays?), so turning off disliked music isn't an issue. The other factor for me is that music can hide important audio clues in certain game types, such as FPS titles. Q: How large a part do mods play in your game experience, and do you look mostly for convenience mods (larger inventory, for instance) or go for the big world-changing stuff?
