discussion Plot or Graphics?

[arar]

you need both

 

[crackyolc]

Plot first, but the graphics have to be acceptable or I'll lose interest fast.

 

[dionzx]

plot, but the ideal is to have both good

 

[Kekrekt]

It really depends but if i had to pick, i had say graphics, but plot is a close second.

 

[Connoisseur739]

Having both is ideal, but at least one of them should be good for me to play it.

Both... if not graphics...

 

[OoFeel]

Both, with good animations

 

[Dweede]

for me its as simple as this:
i can at least somewhat enjoy a game that has good graphics even if it has a bad plot (skip go brrrr)
i cannot enjoy a game that has bad (well, undesirable) graphics, even if it has a good plot
so graphics are a must, plot is a bonus

Without a good plot it's just scrolling random images, can get that from some other source.

For me it's plot, but graphics are an important factor. Then again I prefer a good artstyle over fidelity.

Graphic to lure you in, plot to keep you playing

 

[Dnch2019]

its like 60-75 plot which sounds crazy as i mostly skip everything without reading. But there is one game out there where the graphics are nice but the plot started out okay but it turned into this conspiracy theory fucken encyclopedia shit was whack.

Gameplay is FIRST then plot then graphics.

Definitely plot for me. A good story can carry average graphics, but amazing visuals won’t save a game if the plot is boring or makes no sense. I get way more invested when there’s something meaningful going on — characters I care about, choices that matter, or just a world that feels alive.


That said, great graphics do help with immersion, especially in games where atmosphere is key. But if I had to pick one, I’ll always go for a solid narrative over eye candy.

plot

unless the graphics are so bad they are offensive

 

[shad12345]

Graphic or artsyle first

 

[Mankind]

Graphics. Like I’m not going to jerk it for the story but plot is good to

 

[cosicosi89]

its a fine balance between plot + graphics .. also dont forget gameplay! all 3 and you have a winner ... AND TIMELY UPDATES!!! Waiting for updates ruins everything!

 

[retteq135]

If I'm just looking to get my rocks off it's gotta be graphics. But it is way more enjoyable if the plot is good.

I need to like the graphics style if I'm going to start a game, but after that I tend to be more interested in the story.
