I love game soundtracks, I own quite a few…Final Fnatasy, Chrono Trigger, BioHazard, etc. Generally speaking I kill all the music whenever I play an FPS because it always breaks my immersion when I’m playing.
I was just blowing through Black, that Criterion FPS, and the parts that were most annoying had music associated with them. That was the first game in I’ve played in a while without the option to kill the music.
Ultimately music or no, I’ll turn it off when I get in game.
As someone said, ambient sounds are far more important to me.
