new topic idea but no idea for title

So... i had this idea for a new topic.

Write things you'd take with you from any game.
Like, let's say you are creating an entirely new game. Which things of games you have already played would you put into such a new game?

(depending on the type of game, i'd put the "save game" feature to the top of my list. Every game should allow you to save whenever you want / have to / cant play right now. But that's lame, and many games have that.
I mean more unique to games things here, like only one game has it. )

For me I'd take my Rappelz pets to all games i play. Overpowered Red Pixie is overpowered and i miss my little nuke there. It would be so awesome to send her after some zombies.

And secondly, I'd take 2, maybe 3 vindictus skills with me. Insane Reaper, I got that skill yesterday. And its a nice party buff/1min boost.
Then, of course Blink. And finally: Mark of Death <333333333 it.



Oh and thirdly, any kind of regeneration skill. HP/mp/mana regen, ammo regen, stamina regen.
A must have in all games.

So yeah. What amazing super special skills you have seen in other games, you'd like to have in every game?

posting screenshots or even videos of it is allowed, i just didnt because im too lazy xD
Ill post screenies of my pets later i guess.

Ability to assassinate people when hitting them from behind :)
(i play alot of halo reach)

Flyff: The buffs. There were so many nice buffs for that game. +STA(which gave you like 1k extra hp), +atk speed, +STR(more damage, obviously), all the other buffs that were nice too.

Dragonica: The awesome healing bubble. (like the E Shift-click on magicka, but smaller and healed tons for every half second you were in it)

ZM: Upgrades, Vending machine launching.

Vindictus: Quite a lot, but its more gameplay style than skills.

L4D(2): Hunter leaps <3

Garrysmod: Not really anything, maybe player resizer.

League of legends: Shen's Taunt, Lux's Laz0r

Summary: Awesome support-tank-acrobat-laser-vending-machine-agro-drawing character.


On a more serious note, I'd have to bring co-op with me in every game. I love playing with friends, fighting evil enemy peoples (who aren't actually people).

Grappling Hook from Just Cause 2. Fuck gravity, you can jump out of a plane and right before you smash into the ground, you grapple onto something (even the ground itself) and pull yourself towards it without taking any damage.
Time manipulation like in Timeshift.
An SDK (like Source SDK,but with something more stable than Hammer).

Probably the cash system from Metro 2033, which was awesome.

Inventory system from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Leveling system from Fallout.



Would make an amazing game

Story and variety of the HL2 series

Tensenss and sheer brutallity of dead space

complex ingenuity and interesting concepts

also vending machines. no exceptions

I am confused, HL2 had story and variety? Lemme think...
1. Shoot combine
2. Shoot more combine
3. Shoot zombies.
4. Shoot more combine
5. Shoot antlions and combine.
6. Shoot antlions AT combine.
7. Shoot sommor combine.
EP1: Shoot combine, kill zombies, shoot combine.
EP2: Shoot antlions, then a couple zombies, then shoot combine. All this topped off with a shit load of hunters and striders.


Anyways, I decided I would like the fast travel and perk system of Fallout NV as well. (hated spending forever to walk around on STALKER)

Almost forgot.
Would take my favorite songs from dj hero 2and use them as the official soundtrack.

psssssssst guyssssss postttttt moreeeeeeeeeeeee. please?

I know you can read this here, and i know pretty much _everyone_ who visits this forum here has played or is still playing games.

And there must be awesome/amazing things from other games you miss or would like to be able to take with you into other, new games.

So go post now! do it!
I see you reading this topic, not posting. You know who you are.

The Squad command system From Republic Commando
Space battles from Battlefront 2
Lightsaber combat From Jedi Knight series

I'd take the Bad Company crew. (From BF:BC and BC2)
They have a likeable personality and a sense of humor compared to other fictional characters.

GOD YES.

I would even add on and say multiple squads, like Brothers in Arms would be fucking amazing to have in a survival game.

Why, i'd take you guys of course. What else could anyone want from a game.

Entirely new game? It'd be an RPG of course.

I'd take the proficiency system from the SaGa series and the freeform equipment from SaGa Frontier.
I'd take the setting from the NWN Persistent World server Arelith.
Combat would be real time, like Secret of Mana or an MMO.
The game world would be constantly evolving, like "Za Warudo" in the Dot Hack series.
Oh, and tons of customization from games like Champions Online
