I'm with the "How it plays" crowd. Though, I don't mind a more cinematic approach. For RPGs, I can sacrifice gameplay if the story is good (Persona games for example).
*EDIT: I agree completely with Rubang.
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
