Bad AI, it's funny watching the dumb things your enemies do like accidentally killing each other and getting stuck on walls.
Bad graphics came close as well, I don't need fancy-ass graphics to enjoy a game (Balloon Fight, Ocarina of Time, you get my point).
I was surprised at how many people said bad music and voices, they're two of the things I value most in a game, music and voices tend to pull me more into the story and set the mood for the entire game, I know it's not that important to the gameplay but if I'm playing a game that has terrible audio it distracts me A LOT from the rest of the game.
But hey, that's me speaking as a musician.

Bad music, because that's the one thing I could actually turn off in Options. And then I could always play my own music over it. So really, I haven't lost anything.
Bad AI for me. Honestly half of the reason I love the Star Wars Battlefront series is because ally AI is so bad that they don't kill anything which leaves more bad guys for you, and because it's really fun to manipulate them into tragically hilarious endings. My favorites are stacking soldiers on top of each other before hitting them with a grenade or making them walk in a single file line of a cliff.

My favourite gametypes are shmups and fighting games, which admittedly have no plots at all. Those that do try to have a plot have an extremely poor one. Like Gigawing 2. Or Radiant Silvergun that tries to pass itself off as an Adam and Eve plot. It fails spectacularly, of course.
I'm not criticizing, I just like smacking. But, yes, as I said above, if you play games that really don't need a plot, then having a bad plot isn't going to bother you.
The plot. If it's a solid game, I don't give a damn about what's happening during the cut scenes.
if i make the assumption that what you mean is that everything else is 100% perfect, and this one item is so bad it makes boardgames look epic, then i would have to go AI.
bad controls and bad camera just make a game really frustrating.
music really makes my game, i would never buy a game with bad, or worse no, music.
plot, characters and voice acting all kinda bundle together to create the immersion, plot is mos important, then voice acting, then characters, but any one of them being epicly bad would totally shatter the immersion.
graphics arnt a big thing for me, i can deal with low res graphics, and unsophisticated textures. but i cant deal with graphical glitches. clipping, artifacts, they kill a game for me.
Bad A.I. is the least of my concerns really. i dont mind an AI thats as thick as a brick, as long as the story and stuff are good, i can deal with hard mode being a walk in the park. if it goes totally the other way, and the game is just impossible to complete because the AI is too hard, i will bite the bullet and use cheats/trainers in order to see the end of the story.
