A game with a good art style can carry mediocre graphics and will age well. A lot of 6th gen games show this. I'm willing to say that Metroid Prime has aged better than any game ever made as far as asthetics go. That game looks fucking pretty on a flat screen TV.

Story, while not as important as gameplay, needs to be either very simple, or very well executed. A game with bad gameplay will be forgotton, but a game with a bad story will be remembered for dragging a game down. Most of us probably forgot about half the Call of Duty games, but all of us remeber the colossal piles of shit that were Metroid Other M and Mass Effect 3. Fire Emblem Fates is no exception, and deserves every bit of shit it gets for forcing people to mash start in between levels.

You know what you're doing. Some of the greatest games have a pretty basic story, music really changes the whole feel of a game and as long as you have a good art style, graphics don't matter that much. And obviously gameplay is important in a game. Good on ya.

Game should have appealing gameplay or interesting gimmick not just half assed feature shoved in.
Story not necessarily need to be good, but shouldn't be shitty either.
Graphic i couldn't care less about, i don't mind PS2 tier graphic as long as the game fun.
Music of course need to be at least decent, but not necessarily need to be highest quality possible, you don't play the music unless it's a rhythm game.
Audio, maybe as in ambient sound? Don't think it need to be that detailed since music will still triumph and become main focus unless the game choose to be atmospheric the point will be reversed.
Art style is pretty important but not necessarily need to be high budgeted either, i'm down with generic looking stuff with slightly varied look, at least it's not pixelshit or tumblr nose.

I was thinking of Symphony of the Night and Jak and Daxter(1). They're about the same if you chart them in this thread. Music really set the mood for both of those games and can really get you immersed in the game, especially for spooky games. And immersion is a big deal especially for spookies.

And Art style is about graphic design.
So you could say a game like Nidhogg is a 1 or 2 in graphics but art style is like a 3 or 4 because its presented in a particularly stylish way.

Dunno about the grid, but none of my favorite games has less than 3 at gameplay. Other aspects can make the game great if the gameplay isn't straight 5, but none of them can by themselves make a great game.

Art style can make up for bad graphics ten fold. Art style is the actual artistic talent behind the representation of the game world, graphics are merely how shiny it looks in 4k and without art style even the best graphics will look terrible.

Art style, as a few anons have already mentioned, is the design of the game and its appeal (think Okami, Viewtiful Joe, Guilty Gear, Burnout, etc)

Raw graphics are the visual fidelity, realism, and one could even argue framerate.

Why? They establish an art style with the concept artwork, which is part of the process of making the graphics. Nobody does the graphics you see in a game whithout the art style, so separating them is silly and arbitrary.

>Art style is the actual artistic talent behind the representation of the game world

And the finished representation of the artistic talent is... the graphics. Without the graphics the art style is just a bunch of drawings in some artist's studio that never went into a game, and withouth the art style the graphics don't even exist because you would be removing something that goes into making those graphics. Both are part of the same process, again, it's silly to separate them.

>>382319401
Which is why anyone who has a 5 in art but a 0 in graphics is a retard. Although technically you could have a super artistic ASCII game. It would still be shit tho.

>>382319401

I never said graphics were not important. Though you can get away with bad graphics and tremendous art style. Look at Bloodborne, that game is technically unimpressive with poor AA and draw distance but the art style makes up for it that it's hard to notice unless you're looking for those poor details.

You can definitely have great looking graphics from a technical standpoint but the game ultimately looking bland and uninteresting.

They may both be part of the same process but art style is a unique enough attribute that requires a special set of skills and talent that it can function as a slider of quality on its own.

kek

is "animation" categorized under graphics? because good animation drastically improves gameplay (see japanese games, platinum, souls)

for a great video game the graphics and gameplay are linked together.

Audio can mean the sound effects in the game itself. Music is self-explanatory.

Fuck vidya and their failed hollywood D tier story that you can see from a mile away, which is present in almost all current games. That's why you fucks are stuck making stories for vidya.
I've been playing monhun for like 4k hrs on several titles and I literally skip the fucking story everytime, but the gameplay is fun. Playing with friends is fun. The music is great. Better graphics overhaul would be nice as well, but it's been locked on crappy consoles forever.
Only a few games I can remember that made me sort of give a shit about the story:
Nier A: After the slow pace of ending AB, but C started to really kick things in high gear
SMTIVA:Shit starts to get real at the end
Skyrim: Lore filled throughout the world
WoW: Lore was fun up to LK, after that it just kind started tumbling down

Will you people shut the fuck up with the metal slug comparisons? Metal Slug didn't look good because it had a great artist, it's because they had a ton of artists. If you got the 20 best indie dev artists you've seen together in a single room they could easily match or outdo metal slug, it's just that it won't ever fucking happen because indies are independant and often poorly funded. Hardly anyone is willing and able to pay that many to work all at once and most don't want to work in large groups in the first place.

Here's how the Gaming Industry does it nowadays.

>>382326915
The modern gaming industry doesn't really care about art style, most games that come out are pretty bland in that regard.

>>382326495
Actually let bring that back a bit, I don't know exactly how many artists metal slug had, and it doesn't matter, because in the first place they wouldn't even need that many artists. Metal Slug is a short fucking game, and so are its sequels. A mere 2 or 3 artists could have worked on the shortest game in series because they didn't actually need to do that much. Most art in Metal Slug is nearly fucking static anyway, the most impressive looking opponents hardly have any animation in the first place aside from a shooting animation and a walking animation. Whereas the stereotypical indie game is a metroidvania inspired platformer. In other words an absolutely HUGE non-linear game made by like 1 or 2 artists at max. How the fuck can you expect a game like that to match metal slug in artistic quality? It's fucking insane.

You're a fucking dumbass

Art style (or lack of) is why games that try to have uber realistic graphics look like complete shit in a year
To make a game look good beyond the extent of technology at that time, you need to have an actually art style

Look at
Okami
Jet Set Radio
Metroid Prime
All the 3d mario games
Paper Mario
Ratchet and Clank
Jak
Wind Waker

All these games are around 10 years old, and still look great because they have a visual appeal that is unique to them

The problem with defining it as "interaction" is that that necessarily includes all visual and audio elements as well then, because you're interacting with everything. You don't just interact with your hands but with your eyes and ears too. Gameplay seems too meta to be on the list of other things that are more specific elements.

Audio I'm assuming it's including voice-acting.

But even than, only audio or music it's necessary (some games music is more important, others souns in general).

I played GTA Vice-City without any sound and it was fine.

The important thing is story, "atmosphere" and gameplay. But atmosphere is created by audio, graphics, art style etc.

If I had more points I would max art style and later graphics before audio or music.

And if I had even more points, I would problably max audio or music before start investing in the other.

>>382344709
This. Graphics is pretty unnecessary with a good artstyle. A good artstyle eternalizes a game, a game with realistic graphics will look outdated within a few years

Artstyle is always better than graphics.
Gameplay and story should both be high, with one being slightly higher than the other depending the specific game.
Music and audio are less essential, but sometimes it is good to go all out with music because it results in a very memorable soundtrack.
