What do you look for in a game?

GD:0/GP:10 All about the game play for me.

Replay value is another thing that's huge for me. Give me outstanding game play and great replay value and I'm sold, no matter what form the graphics take, be it cutting edge or text based.

Replay value is HUGE for me too. I'm barely interested in games that I will get a set number of hours out of. I don't like games where I'll beat the campaign/storyline/whatever and just say "meh" and leave it alone.

I prefer gameplay, BUT Graphics can play a big role in gameplay.

I would just like to reference an old PS2 game real quick: The Bouncer.

The graphics were pretty good for its time, but it put too much on graphics. As a result the gameplay was insanely short. You could beat the entire game in one day (which I did). After that, there really isn't much replay value to it because it is so short and easy.

I liked the game and wouldn't mind playing it again, but it does not compare to the classics such as Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, Sonic. All old school games that I still play (NES, SNES, SEGA versions, etc). Why? Their gameplay and replay value rocks, even if they are old games with crappy graphics.

Looks mean nothing to me, I still play chess and other board games. Game play is everything, and I hate the people who love graphics and get us the trashiest games ever made. If you need shiny water, go outside and stare into the pond.....

I got a question for you Bunni, why ask this all the sudden? You working on something we don't know about yet? Or just asking because you are curious to see how your fellow gamers feel?

Picked GD5/GP5, I like a balance between the two, and most importantly - replay value.

A game should never sell purely for its graphical merit, IMO; at the end of the day, a game with more replay value will more likely give you your money's worth regardless of graphics.

Not to mention the beefy computer you'd need for a game like Crysis; it'll suck
