Personally I find gameplay and music the most important aspects of games. If the game needs a story depends on the game, so it's often the last thing I look for.
Graphics... well, high-res graphics are always easy on the eyes, but low-res is also nice because it gives less stress on older PCs. I don't like it when games are too realistic though. Cartoony or paint-ish art is probably my favourite.
But then again, graphics can also depend on the game. Braid, for example, would have been quite a different experience, had the graphics been, say, pixel-art. Team Fortress 2 also shows how non-serious it is by how undetailed the textures and designs are.
That being said, I don't fret too much about any of these aspects individually. As long as all they all fit together and I can actually enjoy playing the game, it's all good.
