I object to your claims Posts: 15,025 Group: =SB= Queens Member #9,640 Joined: January 9, 2009 Gender: Female Country: United States of America 3DS Friend Code: 1891-1489-0768 Nintendo ID: Agent_Blaire Game Currently Playing: Yoshi's Island	Just like the topic says, what do you like to see in a game? For me, that's way too easy: Good gameplay and controls. Graphics are also very important, as is music, to an extent. As for storylines...eh, I can deal with a crummy story (if there is one), as long as the game itself is good.

ahem...FALCON PUNCH!!! Posts: 1,565 Group: S Rank Hero Member #1,516 Joined: June 27, 2007	I like a good story with pretty decent graphics. Multiplayer is pretty good to, unless its tacked on in which most cases it seems incomplete.

	I have an interest in spriting. If anyone has a request, don't hesitate to ask. Deep stuff below: Spoiler: click to toggle The world. Filled with millions of differences. But despite the fact, we all are brothers and sisters, Inhabiting and living under the same sky. But despite this, we war and kill our siblings over trivial things, Staining the earth on which we all walk, With the blood of our brothers, With the blood of our sisters. The sky under which we go through our lives weeps, For the clouds surely know of the atrocities we commit. We slay, maim, gouge, and destroy our siblings, In the name of things which ought not be fought for. Approach a member of the family not, With the tainted lash of hatred, But with the pure flower of love. ======================================= The sword. A weapon who's blade is stained red With the blood of its countless victims. Were it alive, what would such a being feel? Would it live only to fight, And fight only to live? Would it be controlled By those with the skill to do so? I believe that it would cry For each person it has ever brought harm to, Its tears as red as the blood it has spilled.

Gameplay is a close second, but that story thing is more for modern games. That's why when I get a modern game I expect a story along with it. These aren't the old times when the story was suppose to be crap. That's why I would rather Sonic stay how he is rather than go back 2D, because the stories will be crap.

Christmas is back again Posts: 17,411 Group: Former Monarchs Member #348 Joined: December 9, 2006 Gender: Male Steam ID: Warzak85DF	I'm almost tempted to say all five options. Yet these are in order. 1. Story: If the story won't add any suspense at all to the players. I quickly become bored as what purpose is there without one. Though I admit there are a few expectations. Though have no intention to mention them. 2. Gameplay: What is a game without it? 3. Music. Don't know why I consider this, maybe because without the music, I don't know. It doesn't add to the whole experience if it's not there. --- The other two alternatives I don't really take valid thought enough to think the game sucks or not.

Flying Battery Act 2 Posts: 1,023 Group: B Rank Hero Member #9,807 Joined: March 1, 2009	What do I look for in a game..? Hmm, first of all, it needs to be an absolute joy to play, so that's the gameplay box ticked. Eye-candy is nice too; I don't want to have kick-ass gameplay, but be moving a horrid, pixelly, mush of polygons around. And of course, particularly if it's a platform game, a story that will interest me and I can get involved in is essential. I don't want the storyline to be there as merely an excuse to jump around and pwn enemies - a problem with many recent Sonic games, I think.
