Graphics aren't everything. Period. It should come third.

Yup. I said it. Graphics aren't everything. When people argue over which game has better graphics, I always get a nice laugh out of it. There are games out there that are amazingly beautiful, yet contain bugs and glitches that break the game. Then there are games that are sub-par in the visual department, yet employ the most seamless, intuitive and engaging gaming experiences over their more beautiful competition.

In my possession I currently own a 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP and an iPhone. Yet to solidify the point I'm trying to make, I'm not even going to tell you which console I favor, or if I even favor any of those platforms at all. I've had my share of beautiful on the outside, ugly on the inside games, and I've had my share of beautiful on the inside, ugly on the outside games. Graphics are not important at all, and should never be the first priority in developing a game.

Then all you should need is a dslite with the gba slot.

So if gameplay is first and graphics are third then what is second?

Graphics are important, but not more so than anything else. They go hand in hand with gameplay, as graphics often help great immersion and atmosphere which is a gameplay changing factor.

Everthing is equal, no one thing is more important, it all adds up to make a game.

Everyone is saying "Cool story, bro" or something similar, but at least it's a great, true story.

Fighting fire wth fire generally doesn't turn out too well. I don't think that was the TC's intention but, if it was, you just have to realize that haters are gonna hate. Let them hate while we play our PS3s.

I'd say fourth. Gameplay is (of course), most important, followed very closely by story, then replay value, and then production values. But, that's just me.
