Just want to know what u guy out there think

[Amsay64]

i like games with RP value because a game you can only play once, then your done is boring

[Mr_Beardsly]

Yeah, but whats the point of playing it over and over again if the game isn't even good?  I say its definetly gameplay.

Gameplay first, then graphics.

Ease of controls I think is critical. A game with crappy controls or a bad interface is too frustrating to play.

I don' think one quality makes or breaks the game. It is the combination of them that can create a good game. Also if a game is lacking in one area such as music or graphics it can still be a good game.

Also other quality should be fun/enjoyable because that is why we play game, to have fun.

True, a game consists of multiple components working in unison. however, I believe some companies have their priorities wrong.

exactly. The qualities of a game ALL have to be equally good for a good game. If it has great graphics, but nothing else. Than it's a bad game.

I don't like to dismiss the idea, however, that graphics "can't make a game". Think of Myst. It relied upon graphics for its sales.

Also, I see replay value as a luxury, not a necessity.

I personally dont like to replay games. Unless there's mutiple endings. Like Tactics Ogre. But that's jut my personal opinion.

If the gamplay isnt good, then what good are story, multi, and everything else?

I chose Gameplay, even though Replay value is just as important to me. What's the point of liking a game if it has horrible gameplay. LOD should be considered a good replay game hehe. [D2 Lord of Destruction]

Shouldn't gameplay not be an option because the other options make up gameplay?

i have to say story... when im enthralled by a game's story i rarely pay attention to anything else, and when its crap... it takes away from the whole game. Any one who agrees tell me!
