You wouldn't happen to be in my BAD151, would you?

It depends on the game (please elaborate):
For Action games like 'God of War', I really don't care about story...it's all about how the graphics make the game play look good.
For 4X games like, Galactic Civilizations: Endless Universe, I value a smooth interface and attention to detail when it comes to how each civilization looks and feels different.
For JRPGs like Final Fantasy, or even Persona, I value story above all else. Sure, I want to combat to be smooth, but it's more about the characters for me than how great that 'limit break' looked.

Again, it depends on the genera and sometimes even on the game series.
I expect the Final Fantasy series to look good with lame voice acting and cliche JRPG plots.
*
I expect the Persona series, and really most MegaTen games, to have great stories and good game play.

I expect the Tales & Saga series to bore me to tears...which they do every time thus far.
