I constantly find myself asking "where are the good mech games that feel like I'm reenacting a Gundam episode (like ZoE or Virtual-On), instead of just tank game where you have legs (Mechwarrior, Chromehounds, Steel Battalion ect.)?" "Where's the story, the soul, the color?" Well I found my answer, I was born in the wrong country! And if I still want to play them I have to hunt for them, pay a higher price then normal, and pray the system isn't region locked.
Your "giant panda" of gaming.

RTSs, number crunching in rpgs, more than two guns at same time and on that topic: creative weapons, it's a fucking game not every weapon has a be a pistol/shotgun/sniper/assault rifle. what happened to the days of chemical throwers and shrink guns?(do NOT mention DNF)
The three series of my childhood Jak, Rachet and sly,
Mainly sly though, I was so happy when I say the theives in time

It's less about preserving them and more about bringing them back, but I want to see more games where Dragons are either on the side of the good guys, or they ARE the good guys.
Spyro was a nice start, but I've always wanted to see a game where the protagonist could blur the lines of human and dragon and fight as some sort of hybrid.

I think we need to keep and evolve moral choice. Like I think we NEED it. Seriously, if we're to prove that gaming is an art, we need to show them that games can involve choice, like The amazing extra credits said " The sequence of the geth made me examine what it meant to really be human" If we can make morality a topic in games, a subject that is a keystone of philosophy, we can make this medium considered it's own art
I would like to second this, if I may. And not just because I am still somewhat bad at the first person PoV. If nothing else, area spells are just more satisfactory when you can see minions freeze into ice and shatter in a full circle around you...dyre said:
I want 2 things:
1 moral choices to evolve/ be made a lot more present
2 for there to be way more in the way of complex characters who have very real stories
Morality is something that makes you go ' dang, my mind is blown up" it makes you examine so many aspects of humanity, making games much more deep and philisophical. I like that a lot, it makes our medium much more respectable, way too go extra credits
Characters simply display rage and testosterone, not that we need to do away with these guys, but have more characters who want more than blood and hate. How about an idealist? Or a Lover? Or a revolutionary person who wants to change the world? Whos with me?

Serious yet alien fantasy worlds. Basically Morrowind.
Most WRPGs, including Oblivion and likely Skyrim, feature nearly the same medieval worlds.
Most JRPGs tend to throw seriousness out of the window instead making worlds that are about as fantastical as you can get mixing over-the-top technology with even more over-the-top magic and even more over-the-top sword sizes.
It's rare to see well realised yet completely alien worlds that really try to be fantasy worlds instead of just being 'cool' (as in JRPGs) or the same medieval world again (as in WRPGs).

I tend to work on the logic that the game needs only make sense in the context of the narrative, so to me the Reaper thing is perfectly fine, if somewhat implausible even for mass effect science.Chase Yojimbo said:I wish for realism in story to be preserved. True that some of our greatest games of all time were some of the wackiest, but that doesn't mean that "You must destroy the Reapers, a Sentient Race of Robots the size of ships that are the pinnical of all Non-Biological Life, and who come to destroy the Galaxy once again simply because they fancy that tingly feeling of being psychotic and taking away that lolipop from life. Also they decided to make a Reaper Version of you by sacrificing a whole lot of you..." WTFF!!! was my reaction to the ludicrous story line. I still play the games though(Mass Effect Series).
My Giant Panda is the Linear story line. With all the 'sandbox'(LA im looking at you!) Game makers sacrifice the power of the straight-forward narrative.
Also, colorful shooters. The wonders of Deserts, Suburbs and Giant Rocks don't make up for the fact that I started jumping when I found lichen in Gears 2... OMG GREEN!!!
