Should all games now be reviewed on those 4 criteria of story, gameplay, graphics and diversity to determine their worth?

Not even once.
Diversity just for diversity's sake reeks of pandering and always feels shoehorned.
The holy trinity will always be gameplay/graphics/story. Nothing else matters. As an interactive, visual medium, the most important thing will always be gameplay/interactivity, followed by graphics/visuals, with story/characters being secondary to the former two.

Music is even more important than the damn graphics.

Fuck off.
Gameplay is all that matters.

LOL
>>345213930
Why can't the holy trinity be gameplay, graphics, story AND diversity?
>>345214640
Because the holy trinity is gameplay, graphics and sound.
OFFICIAL Holy Trinity:
Gameplay + Graphics + Diversity + Music + Story + Sales
If it means less generic bald angry man protagonists then yes.

>diversity
No. Why would you review that? I couldn't tell you what the story was about in most of my favoirite games more than anyone who saw a trailer could.

Old series and druckmann said he came to a realisation of the same. Expect his next IP to reflect what he's said.

To make an amazing game in 2016
Story > diversity > graphics > characters > advertising budget > music > controls > gameplay
My main issue with diversity as an issue is it apparently always only means american diversity i.e. black people + asians + hispanics
Coming from a 90% white european country I can't really relate to mexican gang culture or the struggles of rising up from the "hood" so I don't really appreciate when those elements are added as pandering.
I never really see Indians, polynesians, middle east people represented and any Africans are always African Americans and not actual Africans.
It makes me feel like the people calling for diversity are Americans looking for games to pander to their world view and aren't looking for actual global diversity which would probably seem very strange to them.

You forgot DLC and seasons passes.

Sure, but you can't pretend the premise for the actions you take and the look of the images on the screen are not important too.
Maybe less important, but we are trying to simplify the whole process. And to just say it's gameplay and only gameplay is as dumb as it is to add diversity.
>>345213930
You mean gameplay, graphics, and sound.
A game doesn't need to have a story at all.
>>345215487
Story>diversity>graphics>advertising budget>music>forced online>characters>gameplay
I can't think of many good characters from the past few years, and I'm not sure what you meant by control so I got rid of it.

Diversity is code word for anti-white.
