I don't think anyone plays a game because they want to not have fun. It's what makes a game fun for you that is the key.
If it's a game that will be done inside an few hours then it's entirely gameplay that makes it fun for me. If it's a game that I am expected to invest 10 or more hours in then story, characters, voice acting all take on a lot more significance, and indeed I can be very forgiving of ordinary gameplay if those other elements are excellent. Graphics always enhance the experience, whether it's gameplay or story, but it's not what makes a game fun for me.
