Some questions on gaming preferences

[Vipershark]

I prefer windowed, though you should leave an option to switch between them. That being said, if you do include the option, the game should ALWAYS start windowed so that it doesn't fuck with people's screen resolutions.

Large explorable areas because it makes it feel like more of an adventure.

They are fine as long as they are used for something meaningful.

The world that it takes place in is by far the most important part for me. It can make the difference between a good game and a great game. and the gameplay. There has to be good combat and platforming. And good level design. And good everything.

Music sets the tone for everything, and is almost more immersive to the game experience than the graphics. I usually remember a game by its music more than its graphics.

Same goes for story. It needs a plot I can get into.
