Yeah, I liked the campaign from Soul Calibur 2. It even served as a tutorial of sorts except it was so hard that no-one could ever accuse it of being dumbed down.Danzavare said:
Personally the character customization (including body building) wasn't that important to me. What I really enjoyed was customizing cars and make them look the way I wanted.imahobbit4062 said:
Being able to level up past first dan offline in Tekken 6 (In tekken 5 you could go all the way up to Tekken Lord offline.)
Character specific target practice in Melee that went missing in brawl.
The bikes from Mario Kart Wii if you count Mario Kart 7 as the sequel.

I miss all the features, activities, seperate gang missions and races from SaintRow2 in SR3. Compared to SR3 it`s a written masterpiece full of interresting characters and a real badass main character. THQ decided that it was wrong and that they needed to tone it down for a bit of sillyness. I miss the vibe of the old games. SR is dead as a franchise (at least to me). Too bad, i wish for a character creator in every open world action game and SR has the best i know of.

oh the IRONY. someone tells me off for using the wrong word (ok I get it, its been said a few times already) and then doesnt know the difference between this and these.
Also if you want someone to do something, saying please is usually a good thing to say.

I missed being able to throw grenades and molotovs in Max Payne 3, like you could in the first two games.
Would have come in handy, since the third game was much more cover-based.

As much as I liked body-building, I liked how eatting in SA actually meant something. You could spend all of your money at Cluck-n-Bell and puke up your guts. Not so much in GTA4. I would have loved to see Niko as a fat-ass.imahobbit4062 said:

Mass Effect 2 (haven't played 3 yet). I was annoyed by the lack of the Mako but pissed when the guns suddenly had ammo limits! I don't care if you call it a thermal clip and say it's all to do with the heat generated by the gun as that makes no sense to me. If you stop shooting a gun, it cools down and should replenish the charge of the clip. If you read the codex, it's explained why ammo isn't a concern in the ME universe. To me, it seemed like bringing in heat-syncs seemed to slap established lore in the face.
Fable 3...Why did you make it so that I can only directly interact with one person at a time?!
Saint's Row 3 - Crowd Control, Septic Avenger and, pre-activity cut scenes. Tell me WHY and HOW I'm suddenly on the set of Professor Genki's show. Also tell me why I can't spray shit all over things in Steelport you bastards!
I consider them (or rather I used to) as a sort of unofficial art-book. Even older games with a tutorial bit told you a lot in the manual.VoidWanderer said:
I also miss split-screen co-op/multiplayer and, bot-matches. This generation has had a ton of games where the multiplayer is heavily touted but they neglect to tell you that you can only get achievements or, you get the true experience ONLY when you play online. Perfect Dark Zero was great in that I could achievement-hunt while playing bot matches! That's the sole reason I bought it honestly...
third person cam in pretty much every Mechwarrior game until now.
I get the reasons for them not putting it in Mechwarrior Online, but still.

Oh and hey games developers, how about you start giving us splitscreen again! I know there's the occasional developers who are still really good at this whole thing, like Gearbox and such, but for every Gearbox there's ten DICE, or hell, ten developers owned by EA.
So yeah, splitscreen in ALMOST EVERY GAME FROM THE PS2 ERA.

Grand Theft Auto 4.
Anything that was good about San Andreas.
Mass effect 2.
The vehicle sections -_-

This might seem like an odd one
Mass Effect - Elevators - Sure they weren't particularly exciting but you know what I'll take a disguised loading screen over an actual loading screen any day.Plus especially on they citadel they made it feel like it was a giant station rather than just a series of unconnected rooms
Also Planetary Exploration - Planet scanning was a shit substitute

Bases in Dawn of War. The sequel was fun, but it lost the connection with the tabletop game to me.
Also, only 4 races. No more Tau, Necrons, or Imperial Guard. How can you get rid of the Baneblade?
