The most important missing features from games

TVGB: Kicking off the inaugural TVGB Q&A is a question inspired by the fracas that erupted over Resident Evil 5's control scheme, AKA The Great "Why Can't I Move and Shoot at the Same Time" Debate. Without further ado, here's the Q:

What features have you always felt were missing from a particular game/series/platform?

"I would have to say that the greatest missing feature from a game is the lack of voice in the Zelda series"

I would have to say that the worst thing you could do to a great franchise is to add horrible voice acting...

For RE5 it has to be gameplay, lol

Astounding AI... but that's because of hardware limitations.

Second on MY list would be evolving gameplay; meaning gameplay that isn't linear or scripted like we've experienced so far but ever-changing gameplay scenarios, such as enemies that don't do the same things over and over again so that one can learn routines etc etc...

Third on my list... and similar to #2, would be character lines in a game. Thus far there are always limitations on what is said when interacting with game characters. Obviously it will NEVER EVER be totally open-ended... but it will evolve into a more dynamic state when the processing is in place that will allow for it.

And a Zelda where you're drops into a big world and told nothing ? What's this Zelda oblivion ?

Pug5486d ago (Edited 5486d ago )

My comment is not so much aimed at a genre or platform but rather the new generation of games were getting. I love playing games that a grand and epic storyline that really captures your imagination. I look at games like MGS and they epitomise this, its bold, grand and intricate and even for non fans I'm sure it can be appreciated. Zelda is another classic as are some of the earlier FF games.

I look around today andd wonder where the new generation of Zeldas, MGS, "origial Resident Evil i.e. 1 and 2" are coming from? These told great stories and I don't see that much these days. I see a lot of mass produced medioctrity and game studios more worried about getting a quick game turn around rather than spending some time and trying to produce a grand and epic story.

My thoughts...

Quick saves suck because it eliminates all fear and punishment for dieing.

Nintendo has no reason not to include some voice overs in all their games. That actually started to bug me back in the GC days.

A level creator for a 2D Mario on the DS would be awesome, and sell like syrupy hotcakes covered in crack with slices alcoholic butter. mmmmmmm...

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
