Characters + atmosphere + plot can get me to enjoy a game Good gameplay and GFX is a added bonus to me... Without a compelling plot or character interest I get bored and drift off... usually to never come back lol. From: numotd@xxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:16:01 +0200 Subject: Re: USF4 changes! To: cpt-fgc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Eg. In game footage show this swordmen doing this sick combo thru a bunch of monsters. Looks cool but turns out, it's just mashing X to victory...

Fuck graphics...rather play mediocre graphic game with super gameplay than over stylized graphic game with shitty boring gameplay.

I started thinking maybe I'm not the target market any more, but then I realised that even 5 to 10 years ago none of this shit would have appealed to me.
