Five things you look for in an RPG.

[Wolf Kanno]

Interesting setting/World/Lore - This is usually the first thing that gets my attention with a game. Often times art direction helps in this regard.

Interesting characters/story - I don't necessarily have to love everybody but I appreciate if they actually interest me. If it's more story driven, then I simply ask that it be entertaining and consistent.

Good gameplay - Not simply restricted to combat, I also lump exploration, sidequests, and other typical RPG shenanigans into this category. I usually hope it offers more than just combat.

Good music - Helps breathe life into the game.

Cohesive Design - I've learned that the one aspect all my favorite games share is a tendency to have a cohesive design where all the parts work together as opposed to the game being mostly focused on one element. I love when gameplay mechanics all build into each other and when story and gameplay are fused and not treated as separate entities.

Gratuitous nudity, heavily scarred men, pornographic unicorns, a fluid and intense combat system, and massiveness.

I was talking about The Witcher series, but it totally works for Deadpool, too. xD

An enjoyable story - A story can be wacky and not make sense all that it wants. As long as I enjoy it, I won't mind.
Character(s) - If this a group situation, I can normally avoid using any character's that I don't care for too much. On the other hand, if the character is the only playable one, I expect them to be very fleshed out or entertaining to play with.
Music - It is like icing on the cake for anything emotional.
Combat - A challenging game will have me come back for years and years to come. Side content really pushes me to the max in a lot of cases.
Graphics - A picture can say one thousand words. FFXV is going to have so many drool worthy environments imo. I can't wait.

I'm also The Witcher's fan (I'm from Poland and I love fantasy, so...) and I think that Deadpool paid a tribute to Geralt with this unicorn in the closing credits.
