What is the most important for you, graphics or gameplay? Good graphics in a game is pretty cool but I preferr the gameplay. I can have a great time with old games with bad graphics.

Gameplay is far more important Graphics.... example NBA Inside Drive has amazing 2 game play but graphics blow... Sensible soccer in the old days was the same way... Anyway while graphics on the new platforms is a given, given the budget per title at around 12 million graphics should never be the sales factor it has been in the past. Gameplay from here on out will rule, that is why games like GTA rule great story line that is somewaht non linear...:beer:

Well all GTA games except San Andreas were non linear. When I was playing GTA San Andreas I had the feeling: been there, seen this, done that. Missions were about the same like in all other gta games.

Gameplay by far is the most important thing, thats why even though i have a x box 360 i still go back and play quality games on my Dreamcast or other "ancient" systems

Graphics are a given in game development today you can't even get money to create a game from a publisher without high level of graphics/art... The main thing that makes a title sell today is a nugget of game play that users like. The GTA series is one of the few titles with weak ass graphics that sells. Main titles rely to heavy on the visuals and fall short on game play. With all of the great engines out there for developers to use like gamebryo, unreal, cryengine, steam engine developers should not fall short on the graphics end anymore, and if they do there titles should not be purchased...

My 2 cents:drink1:

I definetly say GAMEPLAY!

The reason i dont like the game made today is (Well 1 reason) is the way they look!

Disgusting

I prefer GOOD games and in my opinion no games released after 1989 are any good!
