Most important in games?

What do you think about games? Which do you feel is most important, Story, soundtrack, the way the game looks, ect

Hmm. That's always a tough question. I believe that the two main importances in a game are Story and Interaction.

lol ^^ I myself have to go for story, but I do enjoy games that present it in an artistic fashion. Okami is a great example

I'll agree with that. When done right, the graphics of a game can truely shine.

However, as a whole, I'm not big on the whole 'better graphics equals better gameplay'.

Part of the reason why I pick fights with the sort of 'gamers' who love Gears of War and Halo.

Yeah I know. A game can look great but if it doesn't have a story you can get into then it's useless.

Hence my reasonings for Halo and GoW. Halo is the modern day Star Wars. Decent, but the fans are intolerable, and treat their love like a religion.
