For me, I'd say longevity, although gameplay is very, very close in second. The rest sort've matters, but not really that much. I'm surprised how much people care about stuff like graphics.

Oh, and in case you thought impressing the cashier was the joke option on the poll, it wasn't. It was plot. Why anyone would buy a game for the plot, is beyond me.

I think they all have to good to some degree .

Take Mega man. I hate the NES versions . I just don't like the way that look. However the really like the X games since they look so much better. But I LOVE the Zero games since they look good and have a nice story. Cry cry

Someone side Fanservice... I ain't going to lie that isn't bad. If only I could find some good catgirl games I would be in business.

Gameplay, story, and music are all hand in hand for me, but ultimately it's gameplay yhat trumps it.

Bad story or music can diminish a game's appeal, make a great game okay, but I'll still play it for good gameplay.

Lonegivity for me too. I guess replay value would be a factor in that too. Games like BotW and Warframe are good recent examples of games Ive put lots of hours into.

Past examples of replay value FF7-9, Dead Space, Dead Space 2, Army of Two franchise, Tomb Raider reboots, Dark Sector, Metroid Prime, RE4, RE5; off the top of my head are all games Ive played many, many times.

Story, characters, atmosphere, world design, music, gameplay. In that order.

While Gameplay is winning, I seriously doubt the people who voted for it actually care for it that much over the others.

Can I drive a car in it?
Is it a sports game?
Can I sneak around and observe an NPC's routine to find the best way of eliminating them?
Did Firaxis make it?

Those are the questions I ask. If the answer is yes, I'm probably interested.

I'd say everything, for me Resident Evil Code Veronica X was one of my favorite games because I enjoyed it so much and I will definitely be playing it again.

Story, generally. I can ignore gameplay concerns if the dialogue and general proceedings are fun, like in Shadow Madness.
