It has to be a mix of things tbh.
From the choices you gave:
The size of the budget - Yes this matters to me, if its a cheap indie game, and they are asking for a high price, its greed.
How it pushes the technological envelope - does not matter to me, if the game looks good (like what nintendo title is pushing technology?).
Novelty and innovation - does not matter to me, if the game looks good.
Critical consensus - does matter, if tons of people think something is good or bad, there is typically a reason for it.
The amount of content it offers - Yes, this is a big one. If you pay a ton for a game, you expect it to have lasting effect, or atleast be very memorable.
How much I personally enjoy it - Yes, if you pay alot for a game, and hate it..... that's just the worst thing ever.
Resale value - I don't sell games, its just wasted money if I don't enjoy it (give away or toss out). Plus most are digital. Doesn't factor in at all.
