Before buying, you first see the game so you dont know how it plays. If it looks good, Im interested.

If you had read the OP you would have seen that I wrote if you were told it was good and or read reviews… therefor you should be able to answer.

How it plays, son!

Back to Painkiller



How it plays, though how it looks can be a big factor of how it plays e.g. Ghost Recon. If the game is an FPS, then a poor draw distance is going to make it a pain for snipers, and poor graphics tend to break immersion.

Oh man Painkiller is so awesome. Try Serious Sam, same basic idea of you vs hudnreds of mobs and pure badassery.

A person cannot be called a gamer if they answered with the first option.

why not? because i like good looking graphics?



I'm with the "How it plays" crowd. Though, I don't mind a more cinematic approach. For RPGs, I can sacrifice gameplay if the story is good (Persona games for example).

*EDIT: I agree completely with Rubang.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Both. I wouldn't buy a crappy looking game.
