Re: Most important element for you in a video game
Most important element in a video game...
... its that tiny little 3 letter word "FUN"! Regardless of what kind of game it is the fun factor is by far the most important, it the way in which games are fun that varies so much. The likes of Final Fantasy VII, Ocarina of Time, Deus Ex and The Illusion of Time are magnificent due to the strengths of their stories. Some games like Halo and Perfect Dark were great fun they were so intense. Others like Pilotwings 64 were so relaxing you could whine away the hours simply doing nothing. Some games have beautiful graphics, but other dont need them, I have been on a bit of a retro-gaming phase of late, spending hours playing such classics as Flicky, Bomberman, Pong, SMB3 and F-Zero (SNES). None of these games had any real plot, for the most part (by todays standards) they have atrocious graphics, but they are fun, and at the end of the day that is the most important element in a video game. |

Re: Most important element for you in a video game
I have to agree with mac1 - fun is the most important thing. So many games are just too difficult! You can have a game that looks incredible, has an innovative control/fighting system, and a complex epic plot - but if it's too hard to be fun, what's the point?

Re: Most important element for you in a video game
I can't play games that frighten me too much. If I meet a nasty skeleton I just scream at it, and yell for my brother to come and fight it for me. I've trained myself not to mind the worms and rats in Morrowind, but I can't cope with the skeletons yet.

Re: Most important element for you in a video game
I like a good story line and well thought out characters. I like the gameplay to be at least a little free roaming and obviously slightly challenging. ie I like a good RPG - Adventure.
Ico is the most atmospheric game ever made. The graphics are stunningly beautiful and the gameplay can be very challenging. You actually get a deep sickly sense of virtigo playing this game, and generally **** yourself evertime you neally fall of a ledge. Check it out. (PS2)

Re: Most important element for you in a video game
Stunningly beautiful PS2 game? Sounds a tad idiosyncratic.
