Topic: Question of the Day II: #511: What 2014 release are you looking most forward too?

Gamplay, Story, Graphics.

I really like games to have replay value.

Replay value, story and playability(essentially controls and how simple long it takes to pull something off. Like hitting the D pad to change equiptment in ACNL adds to playability.)

I think the story is pretty important. But what would a good story be without fun and interisting characters?! Boring ofcourse! The conversation would be lame and what's the fun about saving the universe with a pokerface hero?

I know there are exceptions... Some games only need good gameplay like Monster Hunter or Mario kart (I don't mean that Mario kart has no fun characters... But you get what I mean)

Whether it's fun or not

Whether or not a video game has strobing, seizure inducing elephants in it can make or break the experience for me. Which is why I don't like video games.

well it may sound a little abstract but for me it is the fun I have with that game for how much time it can keep my attention, some games are fun for the first 5 minutes but get boring soon, games that are REALLY long and fun from start to AFTER the end are the best

Probably music and gameplay.

I'm really not sure. I do appreciate good gameplay and story, but I don't think it is as necessary as I would like to think, because I can play games with generic gameplay or games with no to minimal story and still have a good time. Honestly, I think maybe it's music. The music to a game can really help set the mood of a game if it's done right, and I especially enjoy and appreciate it when it is. I mean, games like Xenoblade, Mega Man, Sonic, Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing, etc. etc. etc... all have great soundtracks that really help with the mood and tone of the game. Not to mention, music is something about games that you can have and listen to and enjoy outside of actually playing the game, like having a CD of it or putting in iTunes... anything like that. And especially if a game has bad or annoying music, then I really just can't stand to listen to it, and I don't like to mute a game very much. Additionally, though it's not necessary, I do like when a game has some good writing to it (if the characters have lines) and humor if it fits. And I also like a good variety of interesting/likeable characters, they can really get me attached to a game.

While I hold all other aspects in high regard, I always find myself either drawn to or losing interest in a game based on the music. It's not the complete deciding factor though. I would say also whether the game is fun or not and has a good value in terms of content.

Diversity and heh, gameplay execution.

I would really have to say the atmosphere. Games that have a great atmosphere really draw me into their world and create something special. Some of my favorite games are Donkey Kong Country 2 and Metroid Prime because of the engrossing and unique atmosphere they have.

I do love a game with a great soundtrack though.

Question# 467: Do you have or want an tattoos?

Nope, although I suppose if I find a picture or design I really like I might.

No, and I never will. I strongly dislike the idea of a tatoo.

this.

I would get a Triforce tattoo if I just had to get one.

No and No. I'm so indecisive about things that I have a hard time just trying to figure out what to wear in the morning. There's no way I could ever settle on what to permanently tattoo my body with.

Not that I hate tattoos; far from it. I have dated many women with tattoos in the past. They just aren't something I want for me.

I don't care for them. They just seem pointless to me.

I doubt I'll ever get one because there's nothing I like enough to want it permanently on my body.

On women, however, tattos can be a major plus.
