That's the most important thing, and that, in my opinion, should be weighted when scoring the game. That's not to say the other stuff isn't important to the overall package, it just isn't nearly as important. If a game doesn't play well, then, to me, it's not worth playing, no matter how hard the development crew worked on the other stuff.

Don't be obtuse. I never said my method for judging games is the "be all and end all." I specifically said I weight gameplay more than any other category. But I also said that every aspect of a video game factors into the overall quality, and to say otherwise is STUPID.
Nobody said Heavenly Sword plays like crap. It's a ton of fun to play. Just because it's not as deep as NG or DMC doesn't automatically make it worthless, especially considering HS's presentation and technicals are superior to just about every other action title in existence. If you want to pretend that doesn't mean anything, that's your business.
