Okay, graphics don't matter, story doesn't matter... so what does matter? Other things that don't matter: game demos, DLC, movies/videos/music, the FPS genre, online multiplayer, gamertags, voice chat, adequate storage capacity... |
The most important thing is gameplay.
The second most important thing is pacing.
Everything else is fluff.
This fluff is welcome when used correctly (to enhance the gameplay and the pacing), but is not necessary and should not be expected in every game. It's like saying any movie made after Terminator 2 that doesn't have amazing morphing effects should be reviewed poorly because T-2 raised the bar. I'd rather play a game with absolutely no story, or just a bit of a story to keep the gameplay moving along, than to play a game with a bad story tacked on as an afterthought, which is sadly the case 99% of the time. And that other 1% of the time, we got the Oscar-worthy dialogue of GTA4. Games can be a storytelling medium, but they don't have to be, and most games that try are written by retarded monkeys anyway.
Games can be fun without graphics or stories.
Games with great graphics and great stories but bad gameplay... should have been great movies instead of shitty games.
Which of these 2 games is more FUN?
