I still think older games with amazing storyline and gameplay are better (and playable even today) than some newer ones where graphics are the most important part. If you can have both though, props to you! But gameplay comes first!

I like having the best of both worlds. I recently tried to play my nintendo 64 that was in my closet, and the resolution was so blurry, I just couldn't do it. I feel like i'm selling myself short playing a game with bad graphics, especially when i've spent 500 dollars on a video card. Graphics are not everything tho, as sound gameplay fundamentals still need to be present to grab my attention.

both! if possible of course. i do miss having great quality but i do tend to turn down the graphics quite a bit to play them as smooth as possible. so i guess my real answer is gameplay.

Game play but game play and amazing graphics is the Holy grail.

I like to play games at the highest quality preset my current rig supports, but its not about the graphics per-say. If the graphics quality is low, but the gameplay/story is good, thats what matters.

Gameplay! I don't care how nice it looks, it better have replay value! In this day and age it's hard to find a game that has horrible graphics and great gameplay as opposed to it being the other way around.

Gameplay is my choice.

I think I love graphics a lot. Ofcourse gameplay has to be awesome too... But the graphics need to be just perfect.

Definitely gameplay, because ugly games that are great gameplay wise can be really fun. However, beautiful games that suck gameplay wise are never fun.
