I hesitate to categorise specific things that must make a quality video game; most of the best games I've played go beyond the sum of their parts and so breaking them down into pieces doesn't capture the whole picture, or do the game justice.
I also find my appreciation for the things people list in these threads to vary wildly from game to game, making it impossible to rank them in any order either.
