Warren Spector: Games Focus Too Much on Combat and Graphics

[Toriver]

Story should take a backseat to gameplay.

OBJECTION! [http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=4653363]

EDIT: The way I see it, story should go hand in hand with presentation (graphics, sound, etc.) and gameplay, all as equal parts. No one should be more or less important than the other. That's how I review my games in my user reviews.

The graphics comment seems a little dated, however. With the prevalence of HD TVs and high-powered GPUs on most consoles and PCs, realistic graphics really only serve to increase immersion in the game's story. That said, if your game isn't fun, it really doesn't matter how great it looks.
