Out of the games you have played, have you ever encountered a game mechanic or cosmetic that you didn't like or felt that the game in question needed some other features? For example: God of War- In some of the stages you were forced to balance your self while walking on poles. This was ok at the beggining of the game but later it got alot more difficult and at times felt impossible along with having to jump from platform to platform. Basically it felt like Kratos was reduced to a "sneek" instead of the all powerfull character he was supposed to be. Also when you beat the game you are allowed to replay the game on a higher difficulty setting, but you still have to do the puzzles again. It would have been nice just to put the game in god mode then go and fight your enemies without doing the puzzles as an option(Does GoW 2 let you do this?). They should have let you skip the opening movie if you wanted to. I didn't like that you can juggle your enemies in the air as this makes the combat feel less real. Needed more boss battles and some of the puzzles were to hard. So alot of it comes down to putting more options in for the player. [Edited by - Rene6983 on April 27, 2007 4:44:03 PM]

It seems theres already a thread similar to this but if you want just say what features you would have liked added in a game.

Call of Duty 2: the pathetic AI which caused the enemies on single player to completely ignore your squad but concentrate all their fire on you. Seriously, my guys would happily stand in front of an MG42, but the MG42 wouldn't start firing until I appeared. Ridiculous.

That's just one example, I'm tired so I'm not posting any more for now. I'll just say as much as I love playing that game (doing Veteran on the 360 for achievements), I'm still horrified and traumatised by some of the AI.

Does giving StarCraft a new engine (think Dawn of War) and sweet graphics and calling it StarCraft 2 count?
