"Chosen" ANYTHING. I'm sick of it. Why not a game with a bit of free will? Why does it aleays have to be about destiny?
I agree, Honestly I think it would be fun just to be the chosen's one sidekick. Imagine doing all the behind the scene stuff that the sidekicks do.

I'd rather there be no 'chosen one' at all. Just some bloke who steps up and kicks ass, because the villians pissed him off or something. Like Bruce Campbell would have done.

Happy endings, and when you die some sort of angel or spirit comes and heals you. Why can't they say you are frigging dead.

Some games still do say, "Game Over" with no reason as to why you came back. They're just getting less numerous.

Okay. Leaving out Huds, two gun limit, giant overgrown, muscle headed space marines, short single player, over sized multiplayer, games based on anime (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece), turned based RPGs,Huge over done RPG attacks that make the monsters react as if it was a poke in the ribs, Mario games,Pokemon games,destiny stories,mini games that are only good for two days tops, online games with tedious tasks, having 100,000 plus weapons in the game, having to repair your weapons when they jam, crack or break.

WWII

/Thread
I second this!

Seriously, I have killed the entire Third Reich BY MYSELF 10 F***ING times in the past 15 years. I am DONE with that war. I do not want to see an M1 Garand in the lower right hand side of my screen EVER AGAIN.
What about the lower left hand side? Call of Duty: Left Handed.
Absolutely not. Just shut up! NO WW2 ANYMORE!!!!! I get it! Hitler was bad! Genocide is bad! The war was terrible! I GET IT! I just don't want to be a part of it anymore! I could probably find an old vet from WW2 and tell HIM about the war!

Just say NO to WW2 shooters.
Talk to your kids about playing WWII shooters.
lol

What's wrong with leaving the hud out, if you can tell all of the relevant stuff in other ways? I see it appearing here and I don't really get why. That's really part of the reason I'm finding games like Mirror's Edge and Dead Space so compelling.

You might love Postal 2.

The reason devs should stop using the real-time events is beacause you may have a lazer-gided missille(or a light saber), but you cant beat a boss until you press A,or X if you spent a littel to much money on a console. Also, nake lightsabers kill with one hit, whats the point of having a sword that can cut trough metal and still can beat enemy.
and last of all(and least) if there is a guy in a hotdog suit, let me were it(thanks saints row 2 for braking more boundaries than Barack Obama)

Oooh, ooh. The protagonist being the 'maverick, bad ass' type.

That pisses me off so much... Why can't we have a normal down to earth protagonist, instead of a sarcastic 'I do crazy stuff but I always come out on top with a witty one liner' guy.

Scaling enemies in RPGs. Bloody hell. If I come a long way to become better, then I want to be able to absolutely pummel anything that I used to have issues with.

I am kind of getting sick of all the space marines and post apocalyptic futures we get it we will be screwed in 100 years or so but these games do teach us how to survive, simply create a master chief.

DLC all of it, I want it gone. Ever since it started it's been used as an excuse to release unfinished games. And then force people to pay for for the rest of it.

Scaling levels... All right 40 lvls later now to have fun with some bandits. SHIT runaway, runaway, runaway.

Games that emphasize customization, and then have NPC only items.

Evil, faceless corperations or governments being the main villains or/while a bunch of hip, young and charismatic freedom fighters take the part of the protaganists (Half Life 2, Resident Evil, Alien, Army of Two, Red Faction, Unreal, Armoured Core, Mirror's Edge, Final Fantasy 7...the list goes on).

While I'm fully (and shamefully) aware that the 'stick it to The Man' theme is popular to the youth of today (I should know, I'm one of them) but it has been done to death now. Some people get tired of hearing about space marines and I get tired of hearing about X Corp plot to make the masses suffer and obey so they can line their pockets with gold/gain power.

DLC should be done properly, like, say, oblivion did. An honest to god expansion pack, so that console players get things too. It should not be used to release half a game early. And if it is, that half a game better cost $30, or, the game should come with a code to get the DLC for free.

Oh, and FPS makers need to realise that people need their brains to survive. So when I shoot somebody in the head, they need to die whether I'm using a sniper rifle, M16 or a nine millimetre pistol. Exceptions to say, a FPSRPG like Fallout, but there is no excuse for it in COD4. Or W@W.
