1) Good storyline - An absolute must for me. I can't enjoy a game if I'm not interested in the story because if I don't care about the drama and the situation then I feel distanced from what's going on.
2) Likable characters - I want a protagonist that I can get attached to. I don't want some cliche', throw away character. Probably why I'm not a big fan of the whole silent protagonist theme. I can't like a character that never speaks.
3) Gameplay - No one likes a boring game with shitty controls. Probably why I'm not big on platforming games like out of the old SNES library.
