Generally if i like the sound of the 'blurb' at the back of the box, then i'd purchase it. But if you were to look at the game in detail then it would be storyline, characters, amount of playing time than speech and easy to use controls.

Good story/plot, good graphics(or ones that aren't poor), good controls and overall good story dialoge. Some games have the absolute worst in dialoge.I'm not implying anything here, but Sims 2...

Hmm, I generally look at games that spike my interest. Such games have alot of strategic elements, as well as being fun. They don't have grinding, (hopefully) because grinding just takes so much time effort, and is frankly annoying. A good story and solid gameplay mechanics are also a must.

A good story and good characters is what I want in a game.For me, games like Fallout: New Vegas, and Deus Ex (both the original, as well as Human Revolution), have good stories, as well as characters that are both interesting and that I like, even if some of the characters are the antagonists.

Apart from that, I also like quick and intense action in certain games are also good for me. That is why I like some FPS games since I can just pick up and play.

I usually look for entertainment in a game. I don't play games which makes you think so much that it will end up with you being stressed out. I want something that's challenging and fun at the same time.

Core gameplay... And I like leveling up. :laugh:

When I play a game, I generally look for story first. You could have games where you spend hours mindlessly shooting aliens, or a game where you play American Football and try to beat the other team. Those games are both fine as long as they are done well. If it is a game that doesn't really have a story, like an aforementioned sports game, it would have to have terrific controls first and foremost. Graphics and sound aren't usually that high up on the scores, unless you want a game that is immersive. Most of all though, the game has to be fun. Now the fun factor of a game is a bit hard to quantify. You know it when you see it, and it is usually different from one person to another, and for different games.

I am more of an RPG buff, so the story and leveling systems have to be pretty polished for me to enjoy it.

Good, challenging gameplay; for me, its strategy games. I personally hate the new 3D spin they have on them nowadays,  the older, 2D ones were sooo much better  (Red Alert, Age of Empires, etc.)

Firstly, i look the strategy. That's why i take often a Total war.

After, i look the storie and graphings.

 

At the end, i look the price.

First and foremost, I find a game that my computer can run smoothly at okay to decent settings.  Its a bonus if i can run it at max HD.  Second thing I look for is a game that has either good game or good storyline.  A game with bad gameplay but an involving story is good in my opinion.  Now there are those rare gems that I sometimes find that I can run, plays great, and has an amazing story.  One of my favorite is dark souls, for the pc, and after getting used to the controls quickly became an all time favorite.
