Since marco is banned we need some shitposts.

I noticed that most of rts players (in sc2 and in aoe) always have mysic on their stream.
Do you think it improves their gameplay?
I personnaly don't.

I know for a fact that I do worse when I listen to music, but I enjoy it more. Try playing when you're screaming your lungs out along with t swizzle

Makes playing more fun. Just have to get sound balance right so you can hear game sounds (assuming they work, mine bug out 50% of time).

The music is in on there stream doesn't necessarily mean they are listening to it. You can source the music into stream using your broadcaster(depending which you use) while keeping it mute on your computer. I personally find it confusing to play with music though.

Doesn't improve gameplay but its more enjoyable for me, and that's the point of playing, to enjoy yourself.

Disregarding the fact that you might or might not hear ingame sounds properly, which in all honesty completely depends on you setting it up correctly, I do think music has a negative influence on your performance. It is harder to focus while listening to music. When Im doing anything mentally challenging, even calculating something easy, I find it much harder to focus when Im listening to music. Just try to do a physics exam when listening to music, it just doesnt work out. The music distracts you, demands some attention, while you are supposed to be paying full attention to the task at hand. My gaming performance also gets worse when Im listening to music I think, although it is less notable.

That being said, it is more fun to listen to music while playing.

PS I listen to instrumental music only, I can imagine music with lyrics is even worse.

Music is best for team games that can get you through laggy periods.

I think music improves the player's ability. If you're listening to tracks you enjoy and find relaxing, then tense moments in games seem to become that much easier (my experience). Rather then freaking out over a tough micro fight the player may instead be enjoying the toons and thus is less prone to a mistake caused by panic. Again, it worked for me, but I'm sure some people might find it distracting.

Why would anyone do that? I hate streams that play music and won''t watch them. If I wanted to listen to music while watching a stream, I''d play mine.

I used to play with music.

One day I lost 7 vils to few cav due to music, cuz I just didn't notice the notification.

*removed the in-game music, only kept main menu music and post game music*
#Didntseeitcoming

Conclusion:

Go to -

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesAge of Empires IIISoundmusicstandard

and


C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesAge of Empires IIISoundmusicattle

Back up all music files and remove them from that location


#musichax

Whenever you feel you suck without the music, just shout Garja and place the files again.
