Okay, we admit it: Unfortunately, our insidious plan didn’t quite work out. Because last week we asked you which element in games you find most important. You could choose between the major themes of gameplay, story and graphics.
55 percent of all participants voted for gameplay, 41 percent for the story and only 4 percent for the graphics as the most important element in games. We confess: We gambled that the story would be the most important thing for you.
Survey and evaluation:
Is gameplay, story or graphics most important to you?
However, since the answers in the comments to the survey often stated that the choice was not easy for them and that it always depends on the game, we still don’t feel bad if we ask you a little more about the story.
And there you can argue about each individual element just as wonderfully as about the big, overarching question itself: A good story is important to you, but what does it actually look like? We want to ask you again about this and have made a small vote again.
Similar to the previous vote, the individual elements naturally favor each other, which makes choosing the most important a little more difficult. As usual, you are welcome to give us your detailed opinion and thoughts on the subject of the story in the comments.
Of course, this survey not only serves as a basis for exciting discussions and insights, it also has another purpose. As you may have already noticed, we’re starting today with our big ranking of the 100 best story games, which we’ve been preparing over the last few weeks and months:

The 100 best story games of all time
This is probably much easier to argue and discuss than the individual survey points. Perhaps you already have an idea of which games we would choose for our top 100 and which games would win for you?
