This is honestly a stupid opinion of games. Unless you mean that the story, characters, graphics, and gameplay should be evenly created this is a stupid response. What you are basically saying is, if you meant that the aforementioned list of aspects should be cared for in that order, you prefer an interactive movie, not a video game.BudZer said:
largely it's character development/plot/ and how much control I can exert over those aspects as well as shaping the gaming environment.
I can easily overlook some gameplay features as long as there is a good enough of a story to want me to keep going., Like in ME I was unphased by the inventory system, or the mako controls, or even the UCW missions because the story kept me going....

I love games with a good story, something I don't see coming it doesn't have to be anything controversial or relatable just something entertaining.
Gameplay most definately, its solid, fluid, balanced.... and most importantly its fun.
Its the reason why i only really play Halo 3, Gears 2, and Bomberman live on my 360.

I think it needs to be FUN. While being fun is probably a combination of the different things in the poll, it is still the only factor that keeps me playing.Awkward Turtle said:
The Metal Gear Solid series stopped being fun for me after the first one because Kojima started taking plot dumps all over the place by adding these interminably long cut scenes that I was afraid to skip for fear of missing out on what I was doing. I'll take Peggle over MGS any day.
Gameplay. Gameplay is such an overwhelming factor to a game's quality that it can override any other element. A game could have horrid sound, graphics that look like fifth grade drawings and a non-existent plot and if it was fun enough to actually play it would sell like hotcakes. (I think there might actually be a few games like that out there).
Games are about actually being fun to play after all. If you want something nice to look at, you go to a museum. If you want a masterful plot, you read a book. If you want awesome music, you pull out an Ipod. If you want to play a fun game, you buy a videogame.

1. Character development
2. Plot
3. Gameplay
4. Atmosphere
5. Graphics
Graphics is the least important, you can still have a good game with bad graphics. But good graphics never hurt, as the previously mentioned good game, then becomes a great game.
Oh, and character development/plot is everything.

OMG another aspects thread, you might as well not put gameplay because that is the heart, soul and brain of a game. All the other stuff are about equal but it's the gameplay that makes a game fun or not.
Just compare the gameplay from Melee to Brawl and you will know exactly what I am talking about!
Probably the only games that don't need good gameplay is porn games because you only want to see the porn. Would you do maths to see someone strip? You probably would!

It's kinda hard for me to decide what is more impotent because of the way i view games...
some games are like a great book and with the right atmosphere it can suck you in pretty badly. On the other hand sometimes i just wanna have fun, you know fast phase games that relay on "instincts" and "reactions" and when you complete them you get the sense of achievement.
so its not really This or That its a mix of both considering what mood i have.
