Do you play GTA V? Do you play it with BGM music and radio on? or Do you have it turn off?

I originally had BGM and radio on, now I play the game with it off and have my own music mix playing.

Since my GTA V is modded, I play the game with radio on, but background wanted & flying music are disabled for more realism. Score music during missions is on though.

With the music on. But I use trainers to block all the sh*tty stations that play "your music sounds like a dumpster rolling down 5 flights of stairs" music added in the updates.

The tracks in the game are great - on their own.

 

I've never liked music in any game so the radio in GTA5 is off at all times. I like hearing just the ambient sounds, weapon sounds, car & airplane engines etc. Music in video games just bores me its the first thing I disable along with motion blur as soon as I install a new game.

I mostly play the game with the Radio off, as I usually just listen to music in my own curated playlist from other programs.

It depends....so both or neither!

 

If I'm playing during the day, I have the radio turned off as I need to hear my phone or other things around me.

 

At night, I can relax more so I play with headphones on and I have the radio on. Usually The Lab, Radio Mirror Park or Worldwide FM.

The score music, while good, really detracts from the gunplay imo. Imagine Heat’s bank scene with an upbeat action track playing in the background, suddenly it isn’t as raw or intense.
 

I’ve found disabling the music for certain missions makes the shootouts a bit more engaging because you can hear bits of ambiance that you don’t with the music drowning it out.

I don't listen to music for religious reasons.... 

Plus the talk radios are so sarcastic it becomes unrealistic. I also like the car engine sounds and feel like they me make relaxed.... OR hyped? (depending on how loud it is)

I hate music in games (any game) and so always have all in-game music in GTA5 turned off. The engine noise when driving vehicles, the environmental sounds and weapons sounds is what I prefer hearing. Music utterly ruins immersion for me and seems so out of place.

obviously turning on the music make people want to play longer, even me. I don't understand why some people can play in silent, it's so boring

 

Everyone is different 😀 I can equally say "I dont understand why some people play with music, its so boring"

When I make a GTA 5 YouTube video, I turn off the radio so that I'll not get copyright striked. But when I am off-recording, I always turn it on

Playing a GTA game without the soundtrack is like .......... watching Fantasia while blind?

I dunno, ever since Vice City, the music has been one of the most important parts of the game.

Lol, I know Im the only gamer on the planet who hates in-game music. My friends love it and cant understand why I turn it off. Its just never been my thing and it spoils the atmosphere of the game for me. I appreciate that others like it though!😃

I can completely get that, just to me - especially for a GTA game where the music is imo one of the most important parts of the game experience - the idea of completely muting all the music just sounds so foreign a concept lol.

Plus, I'm kinda frustrated that the rise of gameplay streaming is starting to make games licensing music an even harder ordeal as it is.
