Standards Of A Gamer

[t0xin_ven0m]

Okay, so I'm going to list a few items of things that make up a game. Just for fun, I want you all to list them in order of what's most important to you or what makes you buy a particular game instead of another.

(i.e.)If you gameplay is more important that graphics, put it above graphics.

I took Sound out, because it's obiviously very important to every game...lol.

Yes, the developer/publisher plays a big role in what I buy...for instance, Bioware, Rockstar, Obsidian Ent...I don't care what it is they put out, I'll buy it, bottom line.

Actually the first three share the first place, but it's in the preferred order. A good game needs to have a good story, or the basic idea behind the game. Of course you need to play the game, and the more there is playability, the better the experience. Graphics are the third, you can have a good game without graphics, just look at all the classics, like Tetris, but in modern gaming, the game needs to be visually pleasing.

Replayability. This isn't required, but nearly every game needs to have a replay value, otherwise it will dust away in the closet after the first month.

Online/Co-op isn't required, but it's always nice, if you can play the game with others, it adds to the gaming experience and the replay value.

Achievements/Trophies. I don't value these, since to me these are just bonuses, you don't need them to enjoy the game.

Developer/Publisher. While it's a fact that some studios are better than others, some are more trustworthy than others, overall it doesn't matter. A brand new studio can come up with the game of the year on their first game. But because a game comes from a good studio, doesn't automatically make it a good game. Developer/Publisher is the label of the game. It doesn't guarantee that the game inside isn't completely rotten. Play the game because of the game, not because of the guys who made it.
