Some questions on gaming preferences

[Rosencrantz]

I have no real preference to full screen games over windowed games, although full-screen is much easier to see for the most part.

1) Adventure games should have massive exploration areas, but it shouldn't be repetitive and it shouldn't always be necessary. I like it when games allow the open-world aspect, but it isn't an extremely integral part of it.

2) The more items there are to collect, the more likely it becomes to scope out goals and spend more time to earn the items you are after.

3) Adventure games are great for the replay value. There's always something missing that you will have to strive for that isn't part of the regular game, and it becomes worth it to play the game through multiple times.

4) Music sets the mood, and to me it's one of those things where I don't notice it's not there unless it's not there at all. Or if it's terrible. A good piece of music, however, really sets the mood of the level you're in.

5) Story is a must, and I'm tired of playing games that don't have a story at all. Sure, it sometimes works without a story, but I definitely don't want a game that has a bad storyline. Plus, a game as a whole becomes more memorable if it has an excellent storyline behind it.
