What do you look for in a video game?

[JadenxAtemYAOI]

What do you look for other than good storyline and good graphics. I like a game with a good barfight like Lego Star Wars.

[WithTheWind]

Comedy, good graphics, and not frustratingly difficult.

[Great Unclean One: VK]

Does it make me feel happy?

 

Does it have awesome characters like Ghost or Reznov?

 

Is it ecchi?

[Dark]

Gameplay

Storyline

Is there an absurd time limit or not*?

...

A bunch of other things.

...

More things.

...

Graphics.

 

The main things are gameplay and storyline, the former being the most important, since a game is nothing if you can't play it. Storyline is important, which is why I like the Zelda franchise and stuff, but Mario always has shitty storylines except for maybe Paper Mario and Super Mario RPG, but those aren't mainstream games. The mainstream games just have good gameplay and creativity.

 

*I despise games that are difficult and have a timer. If a game has a timer, that's fine, like Mario Bros. If a game is difficult, that's fine, like TMNT or something. But if a game has both, that pisses me off.

 

Graphics are the least important by far, but that's because I play Nintendo and recent Nintendo consoles have the worst graphics out of their respective gen consoles.

But the graphics are still great.

 

I want a game that I have fun playing, meaning the game play is the key.

I look to this how hard the game is because I like high level difficulties. It creates replay value and giving me the urge to play it again because I know the game will beat me if I'm not careful. I even like making difficult challenges, like trying to beat a game without dieing or putting 2, 3 level 9s against me in Super Smash Bros Melee. But that doesn't mean I don't like easy games. Usually when I start playing a game for the first time, I always put it on hard or very hard. (which ever the highest)

[Lazer Yoshi]

Gameplay, suprises, and customization.

[-Griffin]

Difficulty. I find many games trivially easy. I also look for depth, I prefer something with lots of fun nuances to learn.

[fenrir]

customization.

Both of these. If a game can make me want to throw my controller at my TV, it's doing it's job imo. :D

[Jace Beleren]

Graphics, Storylines, online Playing

[Sixty]

I like a game with good gameplay, as well as a large amount of trophies/achievements/unlockables.

 

Unfortunately, that's the reason I'm stuck with MW2. Sooo many Titles and Emblems to try to collect. >.<

[Umbra]

A game's difficulty is the second most difficult part of it to balance, the most difficult being the multiplayer section. If a game has balanced difficulty - about even on the pre-boss parts, a rise on the boss itself, and increased difficulty after that - I can like it. Bosses aren't supposed to be spikes, they should be steps on a stair.

 

This is why I hate Bosses in Mook Clothing.

normal game:fun, good music and usually funny

 

big game:lives up to great expectations(if you get the reference, good for you)

[Evil Hero Z3R0]

Storyline,and gameplay.Thats why i feel in love with pokemon.

[-Athena-]

I love difficulty(as long as it doesn't piss me off) and action. A game like Assassin's Creed. You can beat the game in so many ways...

[CarlinFan]

Fun difficulty, as opposed to frustrating difficulty (for those who've played KH2, think the Sephiroth boss, fun, and the Xaldin boss, frustrating). Characters that I really like. Comedy. BAMFs. A leveling system. Epic moments.

[snake_boy]

Lots of guns, lots of gore, good controls and cult classics

[Tentacruel]

Pokemanz

[Yuni Katt]

Games like Resident Evil 4 & 5

[NeXodus]

Responsive controls. Epic, well told story and premise. Likeable characters. Subtle humor. Some type of multiplayer. Challenge. (EXAMLE: Call of Duty 4,5,6, Uncharted (haven't played 1)Halo Series, Gears of War 1,2, Most RPGs, etc.)

Then MW2 is perfect for you. :D

 

These basically.
