I would like to see a character played by me in a video game, so I get the money for my evil plans. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *ahem*
On a serious note, I would like to see more customization in games.

I want an unbelievably long (amazing) story... That follows your own character from birth to death... Possibly a sci-fi, or fantasy, or even one based in reality...
Plus an actual achievement/tropy that would say "Finish Story in under 15 Months"

The Legend of Dragoon had a way to spice up combat...It was called "Additions". It's simply an optional QTE that allowed you to continue a combo for extra damage,with no negative reprecussions if you choose not to partake,or fail,unless you meet on of two criteria.
Criteria one for negative outcome:The enemy tries to counter. Instead of having to hit the X button at the right time,it's changed to O. You fal? Your combo ends,and you're hit for a truly pitifl amount of damage.
Criteria two for negative outcome:You're fighting Kongol. It's a case of "Complete the addition,or else". Upon failing an addition,Kongol would pick you up,slap you around a bit,and then throw you back to your position in the formation,all dealing out a sizeable chunk of damage. Thank goodness you only fight the bastard twice.
Limit the inventory,it forces you to be smart on how you pack,instead of "99 Potions,99 Phoenix Down,99...". Again,The Legend of Dragoon did this right,with a mere 32 inventory slots. I'd also like to see a PLOT FOR ONCE IN THIS DAMN DECADE! AN ORIGINAL ONE! Guess who pulled off an original plot? The Legend of Dragoon. Also Gothic and Final Fantasy VIII. Evolving characters is a MUST. The Legend of Dragoon ALSO DID THIS. See a trend?
Now let's remove achievements/trophies,add some secrets that are entirely optional,excruciatingly difficult to find,and,if you DO find them,it's freaking WORTH IT!
Add some bonus bosses that are nigh invincible,and a bitchin' soundtrack (Hint:Hire Jeremy Soule and Nobuo Uematsu to collaborate the soundtrack),and the game would be a masterpiece of an RPG.

S&M Gay Porn. I really like hearing the media go all crazy about things like sex in games xD
Something that would actually add to the gameplay... Hmmm... More character customization, not just gender, face, and hair, but clothing. I like dressing up my character like a fancy pants. Also women dresses for men. So many good lols could be had.

Gotta say i like the amount of love I'm seeing in this thread for Legend of Dragoon!
But on topic: Agree to the customization thing (I think Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine might be doing something with customizing characters)
And I would like to see an fps where you command large forces RTS style, yet you can take command of a single unit for if you need to use a little more finesse or complete a certain objective. Probably have to tweak the A.I. so that it isn't a meat grinder when you take control, but whatevs.
Also a Dead Rising game with more fps-oriented controls would be nice.

I want another rhythm game that is original and not another Guitar Hero sequel that gives the rhythm genre a bad name.
About the "Take control" aspect...Dungeon Keeper did that. It was called "Possess Creature",and it was GLORIOUS,and I too want to see that replicated in other games.paddyshay said:
Also...Additions. If I ever see another RPG that does that,I'll squee like a Justin Beiber fangirl,and buy that game and PLAY THE HELL out of it. I may even end up camping the store for a week.
OKKKK.....BACKs AWAY slowly then laughs until i lose control of some bodily functionicyneesan said:
Really good ideas all round (Escpecially the fps-rts ones and @riddle78 sounds like you want an old(6,7,8) school final fantasy... Which I totally am all for get it done Square!
I would enjoy seeing player decisions have more of an impact on a games storyline and environment. The Fable games and Mass Effect do their best with it, but they seem to only be precursors to a more refined version of this. Things you say to people, actions you perform on, to, or for someone and other such things will influence future events. From major decisions, like choosing whether to nuke a city of full of kittens and nukes that will kill your kittens, or to nuke a city with less nukes but is filled with puppies instead. To minor decisions, like that kitten you adopted which led to more kittens.
And no miraculous things like "save a hobo who becomes a millionaire in the future", more subtlety would be required, somewhat like gaining invisible points that grow or degrade over time depending on who or what you are affecting. Although this rule can, of course be broken for fun.
There could be alot of applications for this style of gaming. The only problem would be the non-existence of patience in most gamers.

A FPS or TPS with complex melee mechanics in multiplayer. Things like counters, or jump kicks. maybe it could use QTEs for the counters and allow you to counter him if you were faster. It would be easy to screw up but done correctly I think it would be fun.
A steampunk sandbox crime game. Think about it: you board an enemy airship filled with hydrogen, kill everyone, take it over, send it into an enemy stronghold, set a time bomb in it, escape, KABOOM. (Optional: walk away in slow motion while putting on sunglasses.)
You cannot deny that that would be awesome.

A free-roam stealth game. I'm talking like full on stealth, not like Assassin's Creed Stealth-Lite. I'm not exactly sure how it would be pulled off, but I'm thinking Day/Night Sections, plot based on unraveling a conspiracy of some sort, Day sections handle like a GTA type game, with vehicles and such, but at night some sort of agency patrols the streets looking for people out past curfew. You'd have to sneak through alleyways and sprint down abandoned streets, all the while avoiding Foot Soldiers and Cars searching for people out. If done wrong it'd be horrible, but if done right it could be amazing.
Also, a free-roam game where Flight is the main mode of transport. I'd especially like a free-roam game where you play as a Dragon Rider. As long as the story is decent i wouldn't care if the Missions were just "Go to a defended location, get documents/kill general/rescue captive" because I think adding an Flight Element would just be amazing. You could come at a fortress by running through the desert and making a sneaky approach, or just come at it from the air, jump off your mount and make your enterance through the roof. As long as both the Aerial and Land combat were good I'd buy a game like this first day.

I agree with this. Focus shouldn't be on making traditional games better but coming up with totally new and interesting concepts.Mackheath said:
But I'd like to see an FPS combine Brink-like movement controls and destructible scenery. The result, if not put in a bland modern war setting, would be so fun to play that it's almost unthinkable.
