RE: My Most Prized Gaming Possession! (Archdruid Contest Entry)
Nice choice! As you said, people tend to matter mostly about the visuals, but the audio is essential to the gaming experience too. The lack of sound effects for certain actions, or dull sound effects, or music with cringy sampled virtual instruments make a negative impact to me. In my particular case, the audio weighs even more because I'm visually impaired and rely on sounds a lot, both in everyday life and when gaming.
Audio is so underrated... but you do notice it when it isn't there! The presence of good audio effects (and the filtering out of the real world) can really take the game to a new level... of course, the base of the game has to be decent to start off with!
