OT - What Appeals To You In A Game? | Forums

[OH_DragonBoy]

Okay, so here's a possible scenario.
You walk into a shop, and there are a list of sixteen games on a shelf.
You can only afford 1

<LI>Four have spectacular graphics and environments
<LI>Four have a great and compelling storyline
<LI>Four have amazing gameplay
<LI>Four have online gaming

The games in said categories will fall under four subcategories. One game will be <span class="ev_code_GREEN">funny</span>; another, <span class="ev_code_BLUE">serious</span>; another, scary; and the last, <span class="ev_code_RED">violent</span>.

<LI>One is funny
<LI>One is serious
<LI>One is scary
<LI>One is violent

So, tell me, which game do you buy?

<span class="ev_code_red">PICK ONLY ONE FROM BOTH CATEGORIES</span>

If you are still confused, then, for example, the game I would buy, would be the violent one with a compelling storyline.

Please tell me if there should be any more categories in either section

Feel free to discuss, or add in detail to yours or others' choices. Heck, if you wanna add a storyline, I aint stoppin' ya.

Also, I am aware that I am repeating myself...that is due to this post not being written in a linear fashion.
I love that word...linear...

Two most important things to me is Great and Compelling storyline and amazing gameplay...

All the rest is neither hear nor there.

I'd step out of the store and spend my money on another beer Then, I'd go chat up women and end up waking up under some bridge, somewhere.

Anyways, Sticking to the matter at hand, I'd go for Amazing Gameplay and Fun-ness.

Agreed. The story line is probubly the most important part in a good game.

[Drazol]

I strongly value the quality of the gameplay and storyline above all the other aspects of a game so, out of your list I'd take a game with either the great gameplay or story.

While I welcome some violence, I can live withour it as it really depends on the game itself wheither blood and gore fits.

Did you mean realism when you wrote seriousness in a game?, if so i don't really care if the game is full of crazy and unrealistic things (though some realism is good)

Please pick one characteristic from both chategories, no more, no less.

serious with amazing gameplay

[Tarles7]

Well i wold choose a game with a great gameplay,storyline and of course i like serious games!And i choose games by my tastes and by their popularity!

[Sesshobaru]

well i like story line alot like that what makes a game but i like the graphics and enviroments because then it fells like you are really there, so i would see if there was a game with a good story line but pretty good graphics then serious because i hate scary games, not one for funny games and i like serious more then pure violence.
