This is much better than the typical list, but it still doesn't acknowledge that these elements are invariable tied to one another

yet can be judged through their own contribution which proves that gameplay is not too important for a video game to be good

poo > piss
now that the dust has settled theres no such thing as a deal's a de-

All games have the same gameplay. The story is the only thing that sets them all apart.

When will plebs finally realize that art direction, graphics, atmosphere, pacing, story, etc. are all a part of gameplay? Or are they too genetically inferior to ever reach this understanding?

I have a shit load of gameplays in mind.
Dunno if they're too complex or just retarded.

Name one game with an amazing atmosphere and shit gameplay that people enjoy.

I'm waiting.

Legend of Zelda

Bioshock Infinite

yea but what about the times when gameplay is more important than atmosphere?

Besides the world interaction, the whole gameplay is simplistic (having powers since the beginning, fights, ect..)

BB has a great gameplay, and an even greater atmosphere.

like when?

even bullet shooters have to have good aesthetics/theme first

Gameplay is not an indivisible entity, and at its core a game is just an environment to the player to explore which is why I appreciated movement mechanics having it's own subcategory. But even movement mechanics are subjective because although I wouldn't desire tank controls for most range of games they work nicely for the early Resident Evil series and similar games which share that sort of atmosphere

This.

It's rather pointless to try and comprehend any single element of a game without understanding and evaluating the full contextual premise with it. Because a game is not just it's controls, or its enemy design, or its graphics, or its world design. It's a culmination of all these things. And ultimately, you are exploring and interpreting a virtual space.

and that atmosphere is achieved through pacing and fixed camera angles, not any sort of great shooting gameplay, it's just cleverly gimped. In fact you can say that RE gameplay is deliberately poor and sluggish in order for it to convey atmosphere better. What a great example that is.

Gameplay is more like when you feel that it's the good way to play it.
Like a fps mario won't work, nor a turn based street fighter.
