  What is most important, Gameplay, Story, Or Graphics?

  There are generally 3 elements to video games, gameplay, story and graphics. But what is most important? Now lets not lie, not all the of these 3 things are perfect. One could be shit but the other could be really good. But what would you say is the most important or even what would you choose over the other?

  Professional Reviews or User Reviews

  So often times I go around looking up reviews on various video games and such. Most of the time I am reading/watching reviews from users. Sometimes times when I read/watch some of these things they are either really good or really bad, both "professional" and user. In terms of pro reviews from big gaming sites I honestly don't agree with some of the things they point out. Or in generally because its just one person doing the review, that persons one opinion is now the whole sites opinion on the game. This is where I think user reviews are alot better than a professional reviewer, because you have multiple individual consumers that went out and bought the game, whos opinions matters than that one person who is paid to do this. Then you have to understand the target addience that some of these games are marketed towards. Some games just don't appeal to others, I for one for example, don't play FPS's or MMO's, it's just not my kind of thing. Sure it may be fun to play with friends, but its usually the type of games that just don't appeal to me so I know that I'm probably not going to like or avoid it. So when I look at a review, I'm going to assume that this thing that they're reviewing is the type of game they're into. This is also where I think user reviews are better, because sometimes I think a pro doesn't seem to understand the type of game or even care of that type of genre that they are doing so often times that resorts in a low score. Honestly I think what sites should do is have multiple reviews from various reviewers and what they opinions towards a game are other than just one persons. Now sometimes user reviews do this kind of thng too, but again I just wanted to point out what I think between the 2

  So what do you think? Do like one over the other? Both? I don't know your talking about? I'd like to know.

  Thoughts on used games

  So over the years I've been going to EB/Gamestop, I've notice the amount of used games there are at the store. The most recent game I got used was Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 Sigma which I recently had an urge to play for some reason, pretty good stuff. So the main point I wanna point out is that whenever I walk into a store, about maybe 1/4 of the walls, maybe less then that actually, is filled with used games. This is actually really sad to look at, whenever I see it I'm just like "man just look at all these used games gradually pilling up", and just some of the conditions that they are in too. Another thing I wanna point out are gutted copies of games. This is when they take a couple of new sealed games, open them and put them on the shelve for display. Worst case is when they run out of new sealed copies and have to resort to selling the guuting copy to the customer, fpr the same price. First off, if you open a new copy of a game, its now used, I don't care what you say. Even if its "like new" its stil like used now son. Honesty I think if your going to gut copies of games you might as well just sell them used now. Another thing are prices, now 5 bucks less for used I'm fine with that I guess. But sometimes when you have a used copy that cost more than the new then there something wrong, maybe its an outdated sticker tag or they're just lazy to just change it which I can understand I guess.

   

  But yeah, thats's mainly some of the stuff I wanted to talk about. What are your thoughts on the whole used games situations. Do you buy used games? Why do you buy them? Is it because you proably can't find them anymore or cause they're cheaper? Do you not like it? I'd like to know.
