If a game's soundtrack doesn't complement its gameplay then chances are I won't find myself returning to that game much. Listening to other music while playing video games is like listening to music while reading (which I'm sure some people on here do; I'm rather adamantly opposed to it): it distorts the experience from what it is meant to be.

I partially agree, but I listened to Natural Snow Buildings while reading Midsummer's Night Dream and it was amazing. I don't make a habit of it, actually, I think that's the only time I've done it, but it was pretty nice.

That does largely depend on what kind of game you are playing. Stuff like Minecraft or Borderlands 2 which can be played almost absent mindedly are ideal.

You must only play certain styles of games then. Because there are so many where the soundtrack is completely irrelevant.

I am not a bored young male. I am a female who will be 31 in one more month. I don't know if it that is considered old yet or not, but when I was a kid, I loved to play video games! I still have my original Nintendo and Game Boy systems because sadly I was never able to get any of the newer ones. I have played the Super Nintendo and the Nintendo 64 systems though, but what has been made since them two, I have never touched. What I love to hear when I play any system is country music. 😄 😄 😄

God bless you always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Fair enough. I guess for absent-minded gameplay it would be more appropriate. I'm just not terribly partial to absent-minded gameplay, haha.

I know where you're coming from. Generally speaking, a good dynamic soundtrack is an integral part of a great gaming experience.
