Story or Gameplay?

[Bowie Sensei]

Which is more important to you, story or gameplay?

 

Personally, as long as a game has enjoyable gameplay, the story is more important. I enjoy games that have complicated stories that span multiple games, granted most of these also have solid gameplay, but if they didn't I would probably ignore it because the story is so good. However the opposite is also true. If a game has amazing gameplay, I won't really care about the story if that's not the intended focus of it. For the most part tho, I prefer a good story.

I prefer story over gameplay.

 

Not gonna say "Why"s

It depends. When I am wanting to play a game I don't care about story at all. That being said, I prefer no story to a bad story. Nothing ruins a game like a stupid plot. For me gameplay and atmosphere are way more important than story.

Yeah, I think both are equal. But if I had to pick, I'll go with Story

Same feeling. Although what makes a great game great is usually the story, not the gameplay.

Story>Gameplay

A good game needs a good story

FPS, I prefer the story (Metro series). On a RTS, gameplay (Total War series)
