*looks at bestselling video games of all time*

Yeah, thread is as wrong as something can be. Plus without gameplay, a game would cease to be a game. The second most essential part of a video game are graphics, because without them you can't have a video game.

That's what it comes down to when you break down video games to their fundamentals. Everything else augments the experience, but they are by no means absolutely essential.


I expeted a lot more from you. You first go for best selling like that has any bearing on the quality of game that do or don't sell as well. You are going for the argument he isn't makeing the gameplay doesn't matter at all. Games that don't have gameplay as the focus exist, they are still games no matter how much people call them movies. If the player doesn't continue to interact with them, they will not win or get to the end. While gameplay and graphics are esential in the existence of a video game, other things can be more important in individual video games and those games rang from great to terrible. Some on case by case basis bend the meaning of what is a game, but on that same case by case basis some show that gameplay isn't the most important, while others show that poor gameplay can drag the expeience down faster than a poor showing anywhere else.
