Graphics VS Gameplay

[Avathar]

There are actually a couple of things what makes a FF a good FF

like this:

1.Music
2.Graphics
3.Story
4.Random Gameplay
5.Secrets and Sidequests
6.Characters
7.World in time and place
8.Battle Gameplay
9.Challenge

... that's about it, i guess

without a good gameplay a game is nil

 

[darkmajinvegeta]

gameplay!!!!! (lol for grapichs)

 

[Spirit]

gggggameplay, I don't care for graphics much

 

[Zeromus_X]

Gameplay is a must for me, I'm generally not picky about graphics at all. I do have other things I weigh more heavily when judging a game, and gameplay is one of 'em. (With replay value, atmosphere, and soundtrack.)

 

[Avathar]

Hm...how to put this.....ah:

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

- Gameboy graphics

- Gameplay: 10/10

- Gameboy graphics? How odd, they don't bother me at all.

- Why?

- Gameplay: 10/10

 

[Zeromus_X]

That game had too many funky glitches to possibly hate. xD

*Link steps though a wall and falls forever*

But yeah, I understand what you mean Avathar. And I also judge graphics from the time frame of the game. Like you said: "FFVI has great 2D graphics, and FFVII has bad 3D graphics" or something like that.

Mario, Street Fighter, and alot of old side scrollers are the best games in the world. Does that answer your question?

Graphics are fancy. It can look good, but if it's not fun, it won't last more than a half hour. Crappy graphics and fun gameplay will keep you occupied for hours and hours. So...

Gameplay>Graphics.

 

[Avathar]

Now gameplay versus storyline...now then it's not automatically always this case: storyline > gameplay

 

[darkshadow2247]

FTW! Goldeneye: 007. sorry graphics, still a gaming classic. 'nuff said

storyline>gameplay? ha! yes, a good story line is very important. but if the focus is put on the story line and leaves the player crap to do, what's the point of playing. you may as well make it a movie. games should focus on gameplay (hence why it's called a game) but include a great storyline. like FFX...it has the perfect amount of storyline mixed with a great amount of gameplay. and then there's MGS...the story line is alright, but no one plays MGS for the story; everyone likes the stealth and shooting elements

 

[Zeromus_X]

yes, a good story line is very important. but if the focus is put on the story line and leaves the player crap to do

*cough*Xenosaga*cough*

 

[Avathar]

Exactly, so it'ld be almost 50/50.

Heh...actually reminds me:

When i saw Advent Children, i was seriously thinking it'ld be better as a videogame.

 

[darkshadow2247]

*cough*Xenosaga*cough*

i have yet to come across a worse RPG than that one

 

[Hydra]

lol, I liked Xenosaga. It's just Xenosaga II made my love go stale. o_o

Oh, and go play FF Legends 3. It has AWESOME gameplay for a Gameboy game, but the story...

 

[darkshadow2247]

in the first xenosage, i've made it to the warehouse at the very beginning and couldnt bare to play it anymore

 

[Zeromus_X]

With all the cutscenes in that game, I still don't know how it's possible to complete it in 6 hours.

 

[darkshadow2247]

can't you skip the cut scenes?

 

[Hydra]

Last I checked. Albedo is the coolest crap villian I've seen in a while.

 

[richboywonder]

gameplay iss better than graphics

 

[Hydra]

gameplay iss better than graphics

That's about as basic as it gets.
