The most important things to a gamer are...

We gamers are simple creatures on the out side, any complexities we may carry around with us are dealt with in the digital realm, we're free to do as we please in our polygon worlds, but we can't rely on everything being taken care of via the wagging of our thumbs. Sure a rubix cube would be enough to keep some nuts happy for weeks, but gamers need things, without these things we start to loose our edge and dare I say it wind up at the big continue screen in the sky.

Then comes music, in my opinion. =)

guitarse4338d ago

Oooh thats a good one, but in most cases the game has that side covered :)

Dasteru4338d ago

Order of importance IMO.

Gameplay
Story
Music (Sets the mood and atmosphere)
Physics/AI
Graphics

For me it's atmosphere and immersion. And that all comes from the art style, story, sound, graphics, physics, AI, voice acting and game play. None are more important than the others, the best games are the ones that manage to get every aspect right.

Batteries??? Not on PS. Charge cables FTW

But seriously, this article is barely about games. For me gameplay, story, graphics, sound.

The PS3 controller still has a battery inside it, not magic! rechargable, throw away, they're still batteries regardless.

The article is not about games, its about Gamers, the people who play them and is just a bit of fun, if I had wrote an article about "what makes a good game" then those items would fit nicely :) maybe next week haha.

Gamers want to shoot thing apparently.

or atleast the majority. its why devs are forced to not be creative while being creative at the same time.

makes the industry at a stalemate sorta.

for myself I want a simple fun game, it doesn't have to follow any real rules. let the artist create what they want.

if we constrict devs then we would never get wonders like shadow of the colossus, heavy rain,Demons souls, Ico, and all the great games that follow their own rules.

its what makes a game more engaging and fun but people always want Sequels, always complain when a different shooter has a different button layout than COD and etc.

the majority of gamers like cookie cutters so thats what the industry is full of and is why we have so few gems this gen.

Good list swap batteries for mary jane though for me.

Level design, which basically is part of gameplay. Thats why I love deus ex so much.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
