My friend got into discussion about what makes games great. He started saying that he thinks story is the most important thing, and that he buys most of his games for story. I thought that was really silly and said if the game doesn't play well, look well and sound well then it is not entertaining as a videogame. I personally believe that story is not as important in a video game as good gameplay, visual and audio. I do think that story is good to have, but I would make the trade off to improve everything else.
What is your opinion?
