Topic: Graphics Or Sound: Which matters most to you?

When you're playing a game, what matters the most to you? The game's graphics or it's sound?

I'd say sound. Graphics don't really matter that much to me, but nothing enhances a game like a fitting soundtrack.

What are your thoughts?

I agree. Good sound always helps set the mood for games. Take Mega Man 2, for example. It doesn't have good graphics (by today's standards, though it does look fantastic for an NES game), but its music helps the action stay intense, along with its great gameplay and challenge. It doesn't hurt to look nice, but sound matters more than graphics, in my opinion.

Sound.

Tough call, as those two aspects of a game are barely important at all to me as long as they're not broken and they are at least "acceptable".

Sound of course

sound, which is most prominent in mother 3, that games soundtrack is awesome

Sound, I always want an epic soundtrack.

Graphics are overrated

I could not agree more. I can't believe how many people judge games by graphics, to me good/great graphics are a bonus not a must.

Sound. I usually don't even play a lot of games with fancy graphics.

Agreed, amazing graphics don't make a great game, the gameplay does.

THANK YOU.

Out of the two, graphics. I really like that 360 games allow custom soundtracks, so I usually just do that anyway.

I'll take a heaping helping of both, please.

Grap-

Oh wait. I'm not some kid who thinks he knows games. I'd have to go with sound.

Sound by far. Pretty graphics are nice, but a fitting song can greatly enhance the experience of any game (well, at least for me).

Graphics. You can always turn the sound off to get rid of crappy music and sound but you can't do much for crappy graphics.

Basically this, but if I had to choose, I'd pick sound.

Graphics, because you can turn off annoyingly horrible music whenever you want to. And you can't alter most graphics.
