SLASH'S PROFILE

Neither one is more important -or- in other words, it depends on the game. Some games require really nice graphics to get their point across, while other rely on sound or story more.

For example, games that are trying to recreate a realistic or possible situation, like Call of Duty or Spec Ops, rely on higher fidelity graphics to connect the player with his or her actions. Horror games rely on sound much more than graphics though, because audio can be used so well to create tension and anxiety. For a fantasy game, the story is key, but graphics are important as well, because you are trying to pull the player into your pretend world, and careful writing mixed with fantastical aesthetic will truly make your player believe that your world is real while playing.

It really ultimately relies on what your game is trying to accomplish. I've played plenty of fantastic games that were mediocre in one or two of these aspects.

anywho, I voted Graphics of those 3, because it is the easiest thing to use to draw people to your game, and I interpreted "important" as meaning "getting your game played"

I wonder... how would a game with minimal or no graphics, but with a voice-over directing you work? For example, you play as a blind person in the future, with a computer-guided headset telling you your current situation, and all you know is your controls. So to get up and walk down a hallway, you have a voice that guides you and then says, "There's a door to your left." or "A monster is swinging its claw at you!"

...this actually sounds like fun and I might try to make this one day.

Damn I just realize we did almost make it nine pages. I'm embarrassed :P

Still I've been too busy setting up a circle of candles and incense around my copy of Dreams from my Father to notice. My life-size Obama simulacra is almost complete!

I believe we have reached an impasse

Absolutely not. As much as it was his idea to eliminate crime - crime is relative. What if he decided all soldiers should be killed? What if he didn't like bananas and thought banana eaters should be killed?

As silly as that sounds, Light was bent mentally by the end of the series. It wouldn't surprise me and I would never want to put that much power in the hands of any one person.

Unless that person was me, obviously... and even I'm not that responsible :P

Yea, it really depends on where you work. At a blue-collar job it's more relaxed, a lot of us used to bring in our rifles every day, although some put them in the lockers until lunch. In a nicer business setting, rifles are considered tacky and the people who want to get ahead or suck up stick to the more tradition pistol or possibly a shotgun.
