Do you play with sound on 100% of the time (even when you run into an loudmouth), not at all, or it varies depending on other factors?


I play with no sound and i'm usually listening to music/podcast at the same time anyways.

Yeah, I leave audio on always. There are some really good and triggering sound cues. I like listening to music at the same time too though. I just starting doing that and it gets me in a rhythm of sorts.

Somebody talking like a douchebag doesn’t bother me at all. I couldn’t care less. There are some funny people too though and that’s why I leave it on.

I normally play with sound on, otherwise I feel too distracted by whatever else I'm listening too. If the opponent is talking I just form my own private party, and then I don't need to hear them. That's on Xbox though, I'm not sure what the PS equivalent is.

always, its kinda easier to focus/react to everything when you can hear imo

I go into settings and turn music all the way off, then I use the Spotify app to play music on 5% (the lowest setting so it seems like background music). I've actually been doing this for years, even on the Xbox 360.

Unless if I'm sparring someone and we in a party.

I picked sometimes, I like to play with music in my earphones. I usually listen to metal because it seems to help me to stay focused but sometimes I like to listen to some Jazz, Classical or old school music (the type of music you find in Fallout games) while playing.

Yes. I will say I love the voice acting in the game. and the Kronika voice announcer. amazing. Even the returning VAs seem to have gotten better. Jennifer Hale really knocked it outta the park. She's gotta be on her way to being up there with Tara Strong and Troy Baker if she isn't already.

I usually go into private party when playing online because there are a number of odd people out there and I have enough going on in my life that I don't feel the need to deal with whatever their bullshit is.

Yeah private party with the Spotify 100%

Sometimes I just turn the chat all the way down on the headphones, then when I see they are chatting I’ll listen in and give thanks to the salt gods

No game sound. Music or TV on. Much better vibe. You can hit confirm and react fine without hearing the same repetitive sound samples over and over again.

I'm guessing this sorta thing doesn't work with the sound fx working. kinda like in a gtaV way where you still a car and "circle in the sand" or stevie nicks would be playing but then you'd drive at someone they'd be like "outta the way motherF#####r" it'd be cool to hear "heaven is a place on earth" on the hour glass stage in space during a fatal blow just as the epic guitar solo near the end is playing. I'm sure I wouldn't get what I want out of it but still. that would be neat.

I play with it off most times. I do leave the effects on but the mk music in this game is just not good. So I run Spotify instead.

Here's to hoping for a klassic Kombat pack of tunes from old mk games.

I miss Dan Forden og tunes

I turn off the music so I can concentrate better and also hear my psn friends properly. The OST isn't that good anyways. Plus i use private party online so I don't have to listen to assholes & their static ridden microphones.

Game audio: yes
Voice audio: God, no
But I also tend to play something on my phone or in the background at the same time.

I have it on or off depending. Since I just got the game and am playing for fun, I lower the volume if its a dude with a mic on. They can yell until their lungs go blue haha, I'm just learning and enjoying the process.

Audio is on but it's not 100% and I have music off. I like to hear the hits but I don't need to hear all the talk all the time.
