The game still could use more sound effects. When pigs plop, you should be able to hear it. they should snort. when batterflies give you guano, you should be able to hear it. the gnome should be able to sing and dance and ask you if you'd like to join him. when you give a lame gift to a giant, the giant should laugh uncontrollably. There should be more environmental music, like birds singing. hell should have dark dreary music (not that i've ever been there mind you...). the fireflies could hiss and you could have a bug zapper and they would scream in terror and yell DON'T LOOK INTO THE LIGHT! ok i'm getting carried away. the point is, there is a lot of opportunity for sound and music and that would enhance the game tremendously.
Interesting. I usually have the tv on in the background... old movies most of the time... and the current level of sound effects is just perfect for me. I particularly like the contented sigh after watering a tree. <g>
That said, I also have no problem with turning off the game sounds if they get too distracting for me. Any other game I've played has had SO many really annoying sounds... I just got used to muting them all. I like the current level here, but if others want more, it's not a game changer for me.
@cats - we're inside the minds of the giants. What would a giant laughing sound like from the inside of it's own mind? Pretty trippy, probably. I want to hear it.
Hehehe.... often the Hellish music is what brings me back to the game from a movie or something else. I suddenly remember I was still logged in and have to get things back in order.
