What makes a great game?

Still, an ugly pic, and I wouldn't want Sora's keyblade impailed into a person on the cover of KH3.

 

Well as so many else I prefere a good story over the gameplay. But I still find the gameplay so important that I wont continue to play the game if it hasent got a somehow good gameplay. Graphics and such is a bonus wich makes the game a hole lot better. I probably wouldent have bought KH2 if it was made of stickmen.

 

Well for me, I prefer having a good story + good gameplay. Graphics don't matter, because I managed to find Sly 3: Honor among theives one of the best games I've ever played.

Any game that is the equivalent in that for fun and story is my game. <3

 

i would say the plot, if its not good then .......... neither is the game XD

 

I'm gonna be that guy to say that graphics matter alot to me. But hey, just me. I like good stories, and gameplay, but I looovveee pretty graphics. ^^

 

Graphics do look pretty indeed. But you know the ultimate fun is plot+gameplay.

The graphics DO at least need some kind of standard. Like for me my standard for a game to be fun with bad graphics is PS2 level. But then again a game with to HIGH of graphics...coughperfectdarkzerocough...would turn out horribly.

 

Plot, Music, and general design. If the characters and levels suck, the entire game is ruined for me. Same with the plot.

 

I'd say Feature, Plot, Characters, Cover and Level.

For example, I would want a game that's got alot of features on what I can do. (Combos, customization, secret characters, treasure.)

A good story/plot really draws gamers in. Not all but quite alot. If it's rushed, I won't like it one bit.

Characters. They must be a bit realistic at least...not in apperance, but in behaviour. I can't imagine a hero finding death amusing because he/she just does.

The cover always catches my eye. I go, "The cover looks good," and I might be influenced to buy it...though I always check it out on the Net before buying :P

Level. If it's too easy, I'll just dump it in my game collection and never touch it again.

 

the graphics, storyline, fmv, music, characters and gameplay. pretty much everything!

 

Mainly the story-line and gameplay, maybe the plot.

 

ice cream for all and a happy new year gangsters!!!

What makes a great game great is the very great disney charcters wich is really great!!! and the music with the humming!!!! it makes it so cool! and great!!! and the ice cream!!!! did i mension ice cream?! ice cream!!! and the gangsters from org. XIII!!!!! they look so cool

 

a good story line and sweet moves. yayyayyahahahahayahah.

 

Usually a long game helps. The gameplay has to be comprehendable. Sometimes, games use foreshadowing that allows players to anxiously await what happens in the future.

 

games about sex and endangered species, also it has to hae some nipplez.

i hate long games because it makes it really boring and then i go play with myself.

 

There is no main thing about a game that makes it great. The thing that makes it right is striking the proper balance of different gameplay and story elements with sound and visual representation. That's really why I can honestly say KHII was an empty game. It had good story and adequate gameplay but it lacked depth. The gameplay and story didn't always mesh the- Okay sorry for the tangent but yeah that's all I've to say. I bid you all farewell.

 

Good storyline, decent graphics and not impossible to beat levels. They're challenging but not impossible and it isn't totally assinine. Also, originality is good too.

 

A good storyline, interesting characters & the gameplay is what makes a good game. The game design also helps.

 

first of all, Camel... WHAT THE ****!?!

Second, It needs a good Story, Gameplay, Characters, Music... This is the basic stuff that makes FF and KH great, also how fun it is. Beating stuff with a giant key was what made KH1 and 2 fun
