Question of the Day, March 31, 2010

Hells yeah. I vote to be able to kill any NPC in the game. That would certainly up the re-play value on a lot of games (even though I'm sure it would triple the dev time.) That the thing, though. I would want the NPC's death to matter. Not just "wow this person is dead, loot thier pockets".

 

[Twad]

quick save,quiick load

 

[SangRahl]

I originally considered 'Infinite Ammo', as I know I have a tendency to trigger pull a bit more spastically than I'd normally care to admit.

But, there are more times when I play varied games I find that I'd give my left nut for some kind of viable stealth mechanic. Be it shadow stalking, some form of camoflage, or even just being able to shake pursuit or scramble the 'psychic guard' signal for a few moments.

Invincibility, sometimes I just like to get REAL CLOSE to a guy, take my time, aim well and shoot him in the face with a double barreled shotgun.

 

[child of lileth]

Other.

I'd want the abilities of a random tri-Ace game character. Maybe have recently deceased people fight for me like Lenneth Valkyrie, or maybe just have odd powers that I wasn't aware of until it became important like a few Star Ocean characters.

I can't think of any one specific power I'd want, because then I'd probably regret it later when i think of something better.

 

[Sjakie]

Does the ability to physically kill trolls/fanboys on the other side of the internet count as an option? No?

Meh, ill go with modding my own weapons then. eg: shotguns that fire small nukes

 

[Benarikun]

While invincibility would be fun, it would also neuter a lot of games IMO. Infinite ammo is a lot more fun personally... like in Resi Evil 4, when you got bored after playing through on professional and Ashley is in the suit of armour and you sit there unloading rockets and Tommy gun rounds into here face cause that ***** can't die! Very good stress relief

I choose No-Clip

 

[SilverUchiha]

I would simply like Fast Travel so I could finally get all those damn gas cans in single player L4D2 on the Dead Center Finale (I WAS JUST ONE AWAY WHEN I DIED!!!)

In real life (assuming that's what this poll is about), yeah, Fast Travel would be nice so I don't have to put up with shitty traffic on a day-to-day basis. Plus I can visit friends that are far away.

 

[TraumaHound]

Typically, I use an ac/dc power-supply as the majority of consoles I've had over the years require it for powering up the exceptions being the number of PONG consoles that ran on batteries or my DS though its batter is charged via an ac/dc adapter.

Wait, what's all this talk of infinite ammo and insta-kills?

 

[Jamash]

Most of those powers don't translate well into games without shooting, exploration or NPCs, so they're pretty useless.

I'd choose infinite money/credits, since almost every game has some sort of money system, and even great racing games like Forza 3 can be get a bit boring if you're grinding to get money.

Also in games with ammo/armour/health pack vendors, infinite money pretty much does equal infinite money/invincibility.

 

[Malyc]

Invisibility: you cant shoot what you cant see, and if i could add infinite ammo cheat and spawn a M82A3, id be motherfing golden!

 

[Knight of Cydonia]

Invisibility. For listening in on peoples secrets.....


he he....

 

[BehattedWanderer]

The option to turn myself into a chicken?

And back at will, of course. In the event of anything looking like Link coming.

 

[MurderousToaster]

The chicken one.

The chicken one.

I'd call myself Colonel Sanders from then on.

 

[The_Decoy]

Aren't these kind of...I dunno, game breaking?

Quick save would be nice, just so I don't get past hard parts then die
