Definitely gameplay, but graphics matter too. Usually you'll hear the phrase "graphics don't matter" from the Nintendo crowd, but nowadays they're backpedalling on a lot of things, like how they used to shun having many third-party games. But now they're back on Nintendo consoles again they're A-OK apparently! I think the phrase "graphics don't matter" is complete BS. Gameplay is a much more important factor to me (as well as a decent narrative in single-player games) but you probably wouldn't play a game that looks like ET for the Atari very often, even if the gameplay was fun.
Good graphics can be part of the fun. Just like how we enjoy good photography, it's fun to marvel at beautifully rendered game worlds.
we call it a "game", right? So, if the gameplay is lacking, that's a major problem
Ideally both would be nice but I would rather a game that is enjoyable to play than one that just looks good
It depends on the game for me. It's got to have some level of graphical sophistication. On the other hand, if the story is not engaging it doesn't matter how pretty the game is. I enjoy all the Bioshock games, Far Cry series, Half Life and Portal, GTA San Andreas, and others.
Tricky question, I think gameplay is more important, but graphics should be decent too, in order to enjoy a game
Game Play all time everytime
Gameplay all the way. I can deal with low budget visuals so long as it's appealing enough the gameplay dept
Its all about gameplay, You can forgive graphics if the gameplay is awesome.
Gameplay. You can never have great graphics with broken gameplay. Games are all about proper programming/coding. Graphics will always come last, but are indeed an important part of a game, so both must flow in conjuction...
Gameplay and sound.
One of my favorite games is Ori and the Blind forest and the music score just blows me away. It's one of the games in the past 13 years that I've replayed more than once.
