What is the most important and least important aspect of a game for you?

The most important aspect of a game for me is graphics. I know for alot of people it isn't important but for me thats what gets my attention first. Me personally i have never played a game with great or amazing graphics that just wasn't good.

The least important aspect of a game for me is its story. I have a little over 80 games between my ps3 and 360 and out of all of them I can honestly say i only ever really paid attention to 10 or 12 of those stories and out of those I now only remember like 2 or 3 of those today.

the most important aspect to me is gameplay

... I honestly don't know what I think is the least important since it's all important in their own right.

I would have to say the fun factor, replayability, and story. I want a fun game that I can play for a long time without it getting redundent. Also, I like to play games that are SOMEWHAT realistic. The only exception would be Crackdown. Loved that game even though it was totally unrealistic... even though I wish I could jump 300 feed in the air onto a building. lol

Probably for the least important... it would be..... I have no idea. lol. Probably ratings. I'll play a game if I think its going to be fun, not if some guy in an office doesn't like it.

Most important : Story , Gamplay

Least important : Graphic

For me Sound is in the middle

The most important thing to me is story. I don't mind when it's long either.

Depends on the sort of game I'm playing. For shooters, I want good gameplay, with artistic presentation coming second, and story a distant third. For RPGs, I want a good story and well-written characters.

Most Important: the enjoyment factor

Least Important: the ending credits

Hard for me to name just 1 main aspect when I find Story, Gameplay, & Replay Value are all extremely important. I can't narrow anything down as a least important.

Story
Gameplay

Most important: fun factor (Nintendo still has some of the best games ever made imo)

Least important: I'd have to go with graphics 'cause it seems when developers obsese over them, the gameplay and fun factor always suffer

Fun factor is the most important thing in a game. Story is generally the least important. For example, I don't care why I'm shooting zombies, as long as I'm shooting zombies and it's fun.

Most important is replay value. I want a game that lasts to justify the 60 bucks that I spent on it.

Least important is graphics, of course.

Most important: Graphics and controls (you can keep your delightful sprites).

Least important: Story and sound (I'm not too concerned with either).

most important for me is framerate

least is game length

The most important aspect in a game for me is a tie between gameplay and story. As long as the game has a great story and is easily playable is definitely what i look for in a game.

The least important aspect in a game for me is sound. Not that important for me considering I hardly ever care about the sound effects or voices of the character.

im extremly anti-trial and error, mirrors edge resulted in a broken controller, but an important aspect for me is when a game keeps things fresh and never gets repetative and GORE LOTS AND LOTS OF GORE!!!!!
