I dislike the music and...

[jepaul]

For me it is some really important things that I feel will make or break the game and causes thousands of people to play or not to play and really decide whether this game is a success or not. Because, like the music, these are things that I hear or see every second I'm playing the game. In fact, for me, I turn the volume down on everything except the music while playing an fps.

So, besides the music, these are other things I dislike and will cause me not to play the game...

1. The official ps2 website runs at a ratio that is not optimized for my 30 in monitor.
2. The color scheme in the back ground of the squad screen from what I could tell on the vids clashes with the wall behind my monitor.
3. There is not an option to turn anti aliasing to .5 because 1 just doesn't run well and 0 means my rig sucks.
4. I don't have in game voip whispers.
5. There isn't an 800x300 resolution because although that would be dumb I need something to complain about.

So what other things like bad music do you feel are incredible important and things the devs should be spending time on?

Music isn't even done. Those are test tracks, not even orchestrated or decided on.

Perfect because I really hope they drill down on the important stuff like music and spend money and resources there before any of the game play type stuff because, at least for me, the music is way more important than other in game sounds for an fps.

This is a satirical post. Just in case you didn't read the entire OP.

So, why exactly does music even matter? I know it can improve the moment, but I dont mind the music the way it is. That's just my opinion, and that being said, some improvements can be made, sure. Sounds are very important, but not necessarily music. Whenever I play a shooter, the musical aspects of the game aren't high on my priority list. I don't think it'll be a deal breaker for, really anyone if they don't change the music at all. I know for me it wont be, at least. I could care less if they they don't change it. I wanna make Pew Pew.

No judging you but your saying if the music sounded awesome but the expolsion and gun fire sound fx sounded horrible you'd be ok with that?

Oh very dear...


Edit: ...and another two. At this point my biggest concern for PS2 is the average intelligence of the player-base.

What? you don't know me. Like everyone, and all the others complaining in other thread music is very very important to any great FPS. For competitive play nothing is more a factor in the win loss or kd of individual players than music. In fact it is 100% known that all great FPS players play with the music at full volume while turning down all the other sounds. Because of this the quality of the music is the most important thing and one that should have the most resources and time devoted to it.

And, yeah. What Time said. The actual SOUNDS of the guns and explosions make the game, not the music. ( Sorry, had to add that in )



Wait a tic. Could it be possible he's trolling? So many people complain about this its hard to know whether or not he's serious ._.

As satirical as the post was, I think music is actually far more important in games than people think. It probably doesn't greatly affect sales, but it can really make the game more enjoyable, and at least for me can cause me to go play a game more.

I can get a tune going through my head out of nowhere and just have this urge to play the game, even if I haven't in a long time.

Just think of Mario, Zelda, Halo, and a other games that have incredibly iconic music and you may know what I mean.


Also, first post! Hi everyone!

[LayZ]

Well *huff puff* I don't like how the VS music reminds me of certain Linkin Park songs. Linkin Park sucks.

The music is the MOST IMPORTANT THING though, because we already have faith that the devs will clone all the game mechanics from some awful console shooter. That way we know we'll have both great music and a great game.

If you've seen all the other threads complaining about music you would realize that for everyone and all great gamers the music is the most important thing about and FPS. What else could possibly be more important
