Not really that much of le gamer any more so if it keeps me entertained for longer than a couple weeks then I've got my money's worth.Movies are another story because I enjoy them for a variety of different reasons. I enjoy meticulously crafted films just as I enjoy movies designed for pure entertainment purposes if done with a modicum of thought put behind them. A lot of people seem to put themes above enjoyment value but if the movie is just becomes one giant pedestal for the director's opinions then the actual film making takes a backseat and detracts from the overall experience. To me, a good film knows when to equipoise it's material with entertainment value.

>even caring about graphics at all
hey guys wanna argue even more? Can good gameplay make up for shit story and characters?
In order of necessity Games;StoryCharacters (design is minor, but needs good writing and voice acting if the game has it.)Gameplay (a game can look horrible, but if it plays great as seen its very forgivable)Framerate (ties into gameplay in a sense, a game can look beautiful, but if it chugs and jumps itll ruin the experience)Design (theme, artstyle, setting and OST)Graphical fidelity Dont care if a game looks dated, if it has a greay story and plays great then Ill like it.

But a good story keeps me coming back wanting more, makes it satisfying to get attached to a world. But its becoming harder to find with the increasing amount of shovelware being released.
