A very serious poll for sure.
Nintendo is going a different route with its bussiness, focusing on innovative ways of playing games. The sub-question is, does that matter to you.
Graphics-Alot of people like nice graphics, whether nicely drawn sprite or how many pixels are crammed into a guys head. Life-like to cartoony, this is one factor in games.
Performance-if you are the proud owner of a PC Gaming rig, you are very keen to find games that can run well on your PC, or if you are a console gamer, whether there will be any noticable slowdown during the big SFX parts. Another factor. If there's too much lag, the game is deemed unplayable.
Innovataveness (Yes, a real word)-Games are usually rehashes of yesteryears games, with not much originality or groundbreaking aspects to it. That's where Nintendo steps up. Do you want to play a game that you have never done before. Vote here.
Replay Value-The longer the game, the happier we usually are. Side-missions, extra characters, and unlockables are what keeps gamers playing the games released years ago. We don't want to shell out 50 big ones for a game that entertains us the first 30 seconds.
Entertainemnt-The fun factor, do you care about games hwere all you do is blow up zombies one after the after, or do you want a game of where you pilot a plane dodging missles? If you care about your Fun Meter, you have to vote for this.
Price Point-Is this game really worth that 50 big one? Is this game worth more than that Player's Choice 20$ price tag? Vote here if you think so.
Story-Do you want a reason for blowing up that oil tanker? Vote here for yes.
Memorability-Do you want a game that will give you a lupm in your throught, give you thousands of insperations for fan fictions, or keep you awake at night? Vote here for a yes!
Sound/Music-Big Musical Numbers and Great Voice Acting is a must in most RPGs. Play it up!
Familiar Series-Pac-Man, Mario, and all those gaming superstars that you love dearly can be a factor in game picking.
Gore-Blood and decapitations may appeal to you. Large guns and chainsaws may as well.
Puzzling Puzzlers-Games that make you think can be a factor. Whether how to open a door from the other side of a room, to grabbing that key through SOLID BRICK, this is a factor those big brains may enjoy.
Multiplayer-Solo games can be fun, three more friends over is a party!! Choose this if you care about the number of guys you can stuff into a game.
So really guys and gals, what do you really care for in a game?
If you have any more factors you care about in a game, post them up.
