Message: [QUOTE="Graves Ruinwalker, post: 335324, member: 186183"] 1.Gameplay Thats the main-course of the game . The reason why we play video-games . I want to be challenged and even have simulative aspects that only the gameplay can provide . 2.Sound Does it need to be realistic ? Not really but having good sound that fits the action and indicates the gameplay what kind of attack it is , what enemy i face and what the mechanics are used for sound improves the game immensly and can be very immersive or being upbeat tobplay like arcade-games . Ohh and the soundtrack should be good to remember what kind of game it is , otherwise have fitting and great ambience tracks if the soundtrack isnt needed . It has importance too . 3.Visuals Having great graphics is nice and all but i prefer stylistic approaches that gives the game a face that holds up perfectly fine instead of photorealistic approaches . And as a phenomenon , older realistic graphics can change into an own artstyle and actually improve its visuals sometimes like SH 1 , Deus Ex 1 , Ps1 aesthetics overall . So its not that important for me but without it stylistics , its still lacking . 4.Writing I believe John Carmacks quote " Story in games are like story in porn . It is expected to be there but its not that important ." which i very much agree on it . Not completly because storyfocused games can still be a banger if gameplay is the most part of it in the game . Videogaming is an active hobby not a passive one . The story should improve its gameplay and not replace it . If the gameplay is just a nuisance then why make a game ? There is a place for click'n point adventures and visual novels because its the interactivity of its story and puzzle-like structure that give those games its own spin of the gameplay but the mainpoint is its interactivity aka gameplay still . And since we actually regressed in game-design and especially in Setting-writing , story-focused game mostly in nowadays times are actual horrible turds and became cancer in the game industry . Screw the story and give more setting-writing to make the game actually worth picking up for its gameplay ! [/QUOTE]
