Gameplay. 100%.
I got into making games because I loved the depth and emotion in the stories. Yet, none of the games I've made have included any sense of a real, deep story. I feel like this wrong needs to be righted. Question: make a game only for story, or strongly focused on gameplay?

Yeah that's what I thought too, but imagine Miles & Kilo with bland nondescript blobs. Art like that to me might add a bit of story (or at least lore). I see all these great indie retro sidescrollers with great gameplay and art, what if it was just blobs, would it still be good?

They each inform the other. Most gameplay problems are solveable now. It's now a matter of wrapping it in a narrative that utilizes the gameplay and is interesting.

Imagine a writer asking if grammar or style is more important than content?

Some of my favorite games like Dear Esther use gameplay mechanics to help tell the story - the dialogue is pretty heavy but being forced to move slowly across a deserted island gives you time to process it. So like... a 75/25 story/mechanics split maybe?

I agree in that style of game the narrative holds a higher focus which is interesting to think about how a genre can impact a game's content, or how a game's content can impact a genre.
