I'm sorry, I can't answer this. To me there must be a balance of both.

echoed. One of the toughest questions he's asked, but for some, it's unanswerable. Balance is a necessity..

I picked 'Story' over 'Gameplay', but honestly, for a videogame this just means that if the Story is good but the gameplay is shoddy, I'll just put the game down after giving it a few more hours' worth of effort compared to how fast I'll put it down with a good gameplay but crappy story combo. A videogame's gotta have both or at least a good balance of the two, I reckon.

i have to say story and gameplay is more important unless its mobile game like on cell or handheld gaming device then mechanics is more important

... There needs to be a balance of both. There were good games I couldn;t play because of the characters as well as brilliant story games that were let down by the game play.
