Gameplay isnt the most important thing in games.

i find that i'm particularly swayed by sound. "great gameplay" feels like shit to me if the sound effects aren't satisfying.

so i agree with the point. no one would buy CoD if it featured candy guns and unicorns. gameplay, visuals, sound, story, control scheme all have to work together. ...any one being "off" can take down a game's enjoyment.

hell, half those screaming gameplay don't even mean it. mario would be a shitty game if you got rid of awesome sounds effects it had for jumping and coins and its good music. it's exactly why the NSMB aren't all that fun anymore despite having the "same gameplay".

I gotta disagree with that. The game would still be just as good. I usually turn down the music of any game and play my own music instead, despite not hearing sound effects like that games (including Mario) are still great fun.

you've already established your emotional connection to the game at that point.  if sounds would have been poorly choosen in the first place you'd claim it has terrible gameplay.  i can't find much on youtube to reinforce my point but this is kind of gets the point across...
