Graphics, Gameplay, Social Aspect, Sound, Innovation

These 5 "catagories" are important to every game, and alot of thought is put into the delivery of these catagories. Between these 5, rate which is the most important to the least important.

Just to briefly touch on these 5 catagories. (From my perspective, you may or may not have a different perspective. Please respect the opinions of others. Thank you!)

Graphics - Visual Appeal, how the game looks. How the physics react, and how you visually see and respond to the game.

Gameplay - How the game plays out, could be storyline in a RPG, or could be weapons in a FPS. Any aspect of the actual gameplay that you like or dislike falls in this catagory.

Social Aspect - How the game appeals to multiplayer groups. Online or Offline.

Sound - Audio Appeal, How the game sounds. How the voice acting is performed, how realistic does the game sound.

Innovation - Controls, New ideas, anything "new" that is installed in a existing genre to change how the genre plays out is innovation.

I'll go first.

Graphics is pretty much always last.

1. Gameplay
most important thing in a game for me is that its fun to play, otherwise i wont play it, i play games from many genres, as long as there fun to play ill play them (this is contingent on opinion though, for instance i like Wii Sports, but prefer Gears of War)
2. Social Aspect
i like games to have online multiplayer or local, but only for some games, others i like for single player modes, again its about fun for me
3. Sound
i like my games to sound good, good soundtracks or voice acting helps make a good game
4. Innovation
if you make innovation, great, if you cant, meh, as long as the game is fun!
5. Graphics

1 Graphics - I like to be immersed, if I find a game visually unappealing its an immediate turnoff for me. This doesn't mean lots of pixels or anything its more about getting drawn into the game world and suspending disbelief. If I can't do this then the next 4 aspects don't matter.

2 Gameplay - Once a game has passed the first test it must be fun to play, have an interesting story line and it cannot have difficult controls/inprecise controls. This is almost as important to me as #1

3 Social Aspects - Its an important aspect but I can do without on a lot of games. Its definately the icing on the cake for a game that satisfied the first 2 criteria though.

4 Sound - Its awesome to play a game with good sound effects they can aid immersion greatly. I find as long as the voice action/sound effects are satisfactory I don't pay much attention here.

5 Innovation - Overated, Most innovation isn't fun and once its a proven concept it just becomes an expectation of #2 anyway.
