can I pick gameplay, half of story, half of graphics, and music?
I mean a game doesnt have to look hyper realistic and shit but it also doesn't have to look like absolute fucking dogshit. One of the reasons I can't play Yandere simulator is because the environment is trash

Music
You can't tell a story without interrupting the gameplay and vice versa. Not to say story isn't nice to have, it certainly is. But it shouldn't be the thing that makes or breaks a game.
Graphics are nice to have too. A compelling visual style will make we want to play the game longer whereas if something is unpleasant to look at I'll want to interact with it for shorter periods of time. That being said, I've played some really fun games with shitty graphics before.
Immersion is dependent on what game you're playing and even then imagination is still a thing, believe it or not.
Single palyer games are still good.
>B-but music doesn't contribute anything to a game!
People don't remember what you told them, but rather how you made them feel and a good soundtrack paired with decent gameplay will become an instant favorite. For example:
>Sonic Adventure 2
>Undertale
>Chrono Trigger
That being said, video games are a medium and as such people value different things in different game. Everyone's lists are subject to change as a matter of personal taste.
>>316848597
>Arctic Monkeys
>Good
>>316851059
Sure but the story is not integral to making a good game. Its just an additional aspect. Games that are all story with no games (like heavy rain) aren't really good games.
>>316847509

>not setting up a soundtrack on your PC in the background
Immersion is the balance of good story, music and art direction, making this a nobrainer

>>316850695
How much do you feel like you are in the game world. It's impossible to objectively measure but you can ask yourself how much you like the world, how much care about the characters, how much you care about what's happening in the game world and how much it makes you forget that you are in fact just sitting infront of a screen and pushing buttons.
If you start doing pointless shit that gives you no reward just for sake of doing it, like travelling by foot rather than teleporting for shits and giggles chances are you are pretty immersed in whatever you are playing.

I don't even know the last time I actually had my headphones plugged into the actual game. I just mute the game, skip the cutscenes, and listen to my own music or podcasts.

I'm a gameplay/music guy myself, though that's because I get immersed through the music sometimes. I find that great/fitting music at the right time really adds to it. Nothin' quite beats that warm feeling while in a tense/emotional fight.

multiplayer i can do without.
immersion is kinda weird to be on this list
graphics aren't the most important shit, some old games still hold despite not being top notch graph wise
and while i love a good story, many fun games have the most basic stories and are still good, so i'll go with music.
>>316854037

This so much. All a game needs to be good, anything else is fluff/icing.
Change music to sound design and I'll pick that. Some games benefit from lack of music and ambiance.Then again, it becomes immersion at that point.
I pick gameplay twice
>>316847337
Music and immersion. It'sthe two qualities that turn any game into forever memorable for me. Also because sometimes graphics roll into immersion.
