Gameplay always comes first

It depends on what I'm in the mood for. I think having a ''one size fits all'' solution isn't useful for finding things to enjoy. I'd have pretty limited taste if I kept things so locked down.

That's how it works for me, anyway.

This game is dope.

Gameplay first, then story, then music and after that, graphics.

>people who judge a game by its individual pieces instead of the overall experience

You're not one of them, are you?

It is, but the others are still very close.

I just like games man. I'll play shit just because of its soundtrack, grafix, story, aesthetics, atmosphere...

Alpha Protocol has sub-par gameplay but an excellent story with choices.
Hotline Miami has a bare-bones story but fantastic quick gameplay.

If you can't appreciate both, or put one over the other, you have poor, unrefined taste. You should be able to appreciate all good games.

i just cant enjoy it

This argument is retarded these days, since games are able to deliver in every aspect. You can't judge a game by its "gameplay" (whatever the fuck that means) when it's focusing on atmosphere and story telling. Inside, is an amazing game. What makes it amazing is everything but its limited, standard sidescrolling gameplay.

Yes let me judge my car by its built-in stereo/electronics panel and not by its ability to deliver me from point A to point B.

In fact it doesn't matter if it breaks down every 2nd week and I have to replace a belt or alternator. What matters is the holistic totality of the system, comrade, not the intention of the device!

The story is the motivation dumbshit

For the first game in the series/a series that has no real continuity, Gameplay always wins.
But in a series with a continuity, the Story is on par with Gameplay.
Case in point: how Saints Row and Fallout was "ruined" by making terrible decisions in their sequels in regards of their story.

Yes, cause EVERY game should be a bunch of shapes mashing against each other with no reason. The shit I see on this shithole

Usually, I want engaging gameplay.

But sometimes I just want a good GRAPHICS game that lets me take good screenshots.

Sometimes I find a game that is janky as fuck, but somehow ends up being great anyway, like Risen.

Retard can only argue with absolutes! News at 7.

"The dumb shit I see out of your mouth" really can be boiled down to childish black and white thinking. "You can ONLY have motivation FROM the story! EVERY game should be THIS way!"

Gameplay is the most important factor.
But it's not more important than music, story, and presentation combined.

You Undertale fans need to stop treating this 2 hour game as an example of well done game.

Music is only important in short games which you finish before it gets repetitive. For any game with non-zero replay value, music is at the very bottom of the list.

Gaming as a medium is advancing. And that's only a good thing.

>Yes let me judge my car by its built-in stereo/electronics panel and not by its ability to deliver me from point A to point B.

Extremely false analogy. If a car's job is to get you from point A to point B, then a game's job is to deliver an experience through some form of interactivity.

Delivering "gameplay" (meaning specific mechanics) somehow being every game's job is an archaic notion derived from the era where "gameplay" was all that a game could deliver.

Fucking move on.

Yes. And I hate to be the one to tell you this, but "interaction" is mechanical in nature, i.e. a game has a state, and the user inputs something to change the gamestate. That's gameplay.

Music, story, graphics, etc. do not change the gamestate because they have nothing to do with input. The most input you get out of a film is pressing play on your remote. The most input you get out of a book is flipping a page. You don't interact or input anything onto an oil painting, unless you want to get chased out of the museum by the cops. So on and so forth.

Interactivity is the heart of games, much like the motor is the heart of a car. It drives it forward toward purpose. Your car stereo, its paint job, and how it smells are tertiary elements. All of them can potentially be bad, but oftentimes it doesn't matter. In contrast, nobody values a car that can't run its motor, however.

>>387136710
there is a lot of things to take in consideration when judging a game. If you think gameplay alone will turn a shit game into a good one, that's fucking wrong.

Walking simulators shouldn't be called games though.

What game do I have to rewrite and replace missing/broken code in? That is the only way your shit analogy makes sense.

>>387145026

>"interaction" is mechanical in nature ...that's gameplay

Let me give you an example, so you can understand my argument. Brothers in my opinion, was a great game. You can't really praise the game's actual gameplay, since it was just standard third person mechanics. But towards the end of the game, when you have to press your dead brother's button in order to swim the game delivers something amazing that can only be delivered through interactivity, even though the actual mechanic of pressing both buttons can't really be considered "great gameplay".

The same applies to games like Inside or Hellblade. What they offer can only be delivered by a game, yet the actual mechanics of their gameplay are average at best.

Not too bright are you?

If the games' mechanics are broken or otherwise absent, you notice.

If the game has no music, it's still playable.

If the game has no art, it's still playable (see roguelikes).

If the game has no story, it's still playable.
