“People play games to take a dip in another reality because it's fun to escape for a bit.” “I think that graphics and visuals are the talked about the most because people are much better attuned to seeing if something in the game world is correct or not than hearing if something sounds off.

It’s empty, isn’t it? Given how crucial audio is to a truly great game, it’s interesting the bulk of mainstream video game discourse tends to gravitate towards graphics and visuals. Play your favourite game with your television muted. The effect sound has on a video game, and on players themselves, cannot be understated. But there’s a lot more to a video game than just how good it looks. It always has been and it doesn’t appear to be changing. The video game arms race is a visual one.
