What's Most Important To You?

Fri Mar 2, 2007 5:29:16 AM #34877 Perm Link

I was just curious as to what people think is the most important aspect of a video game. A real determining factor for me is length. I like games to be good in all other aspects, but what good is it if you finish it in a week. This has really become important to me since next-gen games have become $59.99 and up at the initial release. I find it really disappointing when a really good game turns out to be 10-15 hours of game play. I find anything under 30-40 hours unacceptable. A perfect example of this is Gears of War. This game was awesome, but was only around 10 hours worth of playtime (not including multiplayer modes). I guess I should just get into renting games. That's all most are worth. I've had a 360 for two years; The only game I've purchased was Oblivion. All of the others I've been borrowing from other people. I demand longer games dammit!

Longevity ties into my major point; gameplay.

Graphics and such are secondary to how the gameplay is. If the gameplay is good, people will play it.

Starcraft is 10 years old and people still play it.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Yeah, I'd have to agree with both of you. The longer the game, the more I like it.

I suppose the most important thing to me would be gameplay/storyline. I like fighting games so when there isn't someone else to play I like to follow a decent stroy mode for solo play

I forgot about Mortal Kombat... sometimes bashing the shit out of someone is a good stress reliever.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. I suck at Mortal Kombat, though, so I get madder when I play that game if I'm upset already. I usually play Soul Calibur II if I want to pound the shit out of someone.

I usually play Tekken, if I want to fight or GTA if I want carnage, Tekken is one of my all time faves

Yeah, that's a good game, too. The only problem is, I used to have four, but now I only have five. Can't play that one as well.

I like to play the games where you build an empire, theme park, hospital, movie studio, etc. For me, the fighting is secondary and I'd actually rather do without it. I used to love the Tycoon games, but they've gotten pretty lame over the years. I am looking forward to the release of Hospital Tycoon, which sounds like it could be pretty interesting.

I am not really interested in games anymore, but I remember that I loved Carmen Sandiego! Everything where I can learn something, or it is some kind of trivia or word game, I'm down for that! Fighting and those things, not really. I get bored with those.

I used to love Carmen San Diego as well. Sometimes it was embarrassing how little I really knew about history or geography.

I may not be the person to ask, because I like games that stimulate my mind, as well as are fun to play. Most people just like to play, but I like to use my brain at the same time.

Gameplay for sure, and story line. AS aron said starcraft is an amazing example of how really good gameplay can be > all.
