The most important for a game

NatewlieYou must be mentally ill if you're a graphics whore and you love Halo.Your point is void.

I agree with Natalie here.Halo isn't about graphics lol.(if you want to talk about graphics go play Crysis).

allkratosWell of course gameplay for me.
It's interesting to see that no one vote for graphics while a lot of Rom U members love Square Enix.(YES their gameplay is old)

but there is also a lot of depth to it...and KH gameplay was amazing

I consider all aspects of a game when purchasing games, graphics is the lower point, as long as it doesn't look like my brother made it, and the physicals are just right it'll do me fine.Case in point, Alien VS predator (ps3) as some of the physics aren't perfect (why can't I jump/climb a fence with the aliens...) but they do just fine...and despire the hype I still find ridge racer 7 to have better drool worthy graphics...but what Alien vs predator has is decent graphics.THen again I'm content with nes graphics :)Game of a series is a big trump for me, resident evil, devil may cry, ridge racer, ninja gaiden, mario kart are games I usually watch for, that and the publishers/developers :)

But if I download a game, it'll be for the fact I may remember it from long ago, like command and conquer tibirium sun (got it last night from the official site for free :) ) or because I badly need something new (in which I could download anything...don't even ask what weird games I've gotten...you'll want to cry with what I tried..)

Graphics...on that it's not technical graphics that makes a game lasts long,it's the art design.Just look at World of Warcraft or Zelda:The Wind Waker...technically nothing cutting-edge but artistically superior than most modern games like Modern Warfare,GTA 4,etc.

Well, if we are talking about the graphics, then the unique-style graphics can do better ;)
For example is TWEWY, very comic-like graphic.

Story is important too!

please read again... you misread my post.

gavilatiusstory, and gameplay... it can be command prompt coding, but if it's enjoyable, i'll play it...I hate people that only like the game due to it's graphics (*cough *cough *HALO lovers *cough *cough)

suidoken ds is one of the best stories ever for ds I find

i voted gameplay but i think the creators are just as big of a factor.

Are you trying to make up a point that doesn't exist gav?Your post entails that you enjoy games that have a good story and fun gameplay. Then you say that you don't like people that only like some games because their graphics, then you point out Halo fans. There's no link between either idea, thus they're separate ideas and it's safe to assume that you're pointing out that Halo lovers love Halo only for it's graphics.

well for me a game is good when the gameplay,the story and possibly the graphics are good.
the sounds and musics are very important too.

Is the poll good?

pretty much, yea, halo is good, don't get me wrong, but it should have stayed as an RTS in the beginning, If I wanted to play as a human trying to defend earth from an evil , i'll play "starship troopers" or "unreal 1 & 2" not halo...

Halo wasn't just going to be an RTS, it was going to be an RTS with a close up view with the characters (like 3rd person), the Bungie team eventually found out that the game was more exciting in the third person perspective and it progressed from there.Example here and here.And of course, Starship troopers were fun as hell.

NOT ONLY THAT,they are afraid to go against BLIZZARD and RELIC in RTS. BUNGIE failed in RTS before HALO.

A good story and controls that dont suck is what makes a game, IMHO.

allkratos · #35NOT ONLY THAT,they are afraid to go against BLIZZARD and RELIC in RTS. BUNGIE failed in RTS before HALO.

What? People aren't afraid to go into a genre against a competitor. If that were the case we'd see a lot less FPS' since they'd be intimidated by MW2 or Valve.That and Bungie's ONLY two RTS type games were awarded with awards.

Replying to #37

So RELIC hasn't received any award?So Blizzard hasn't received a single thing?What?The creator of the most successful RTS ever is not as elite as Bungie?
HALO was successful because the was no decent enough FPS on console back then.If they made it as an RTS,it won't be as successful as it is today.

Replying to #38

You said that Bungie failed in RTS' before Halo, yeah right.I wasn't comparing, I was saying that Bungie is a good RTS developer, you wouldn't be able to tell if Halo would've been succesful if it were an RTS. There's really no way. If you're judging by their past efforts (Myth 1 and 2) it would've been good.Also Perfect Dark would like to talk you.

NO WAY?Why?
Perfect Dark and 007 on N64.BUT do they have great multiplayer?Can they match the sales of Pc FPS back then?Halo was the first to match the popularity of Pc FPS.That's because it was superb from campaign to multiplayer.
