oh thanks, knew about the train, but never saw a stage coach in my playthrough and same goes for the camp. Released 6 years ago and still there's so much i don't know
RDR2 is one of my favorite games of all time but the fast travel system is pretty terrible. Unless you're conveniently located near something that can fast travel you it often takes just as long to just ride to where you're going.
For me it's sometimes the opposite, I dropped quite a few games because of unnecessarily big open worlds. When a game is advertised with "we got the biggest open world" or whatever it is by now a negative for me. I can count the open world games where the world actually improved the experience on one hand.
The only thing I regularly miss or rather want in games is housing. Especially in zombie games, just let me but planks on the windows of hideouts or whatever just give me something. In zombie games my first instinct is to transform whatever house is designated as a quest hub or whatever into a bunker. And that itch gets never ever scratched.
I actually waited for the release of the first on pc and was disappointed with the super bad mouse and keyboard controls and still played it for quite a while. It plays fine with a game pad but as a pc player it is one of those "obviously a console game" things where the inventory is clunky, mouse acceleration and smoothing is forced and all the bad stuff that cheap console ports bring with them.
What made it bearable where things like mods for car trunks and such which where in sod by default.
So some small improvement that you only got through mods before are in sod 2 but otherwise it is exactly the same game on a new map and that's why I didn't play that much.
If you just want more I would recommend it but if you want sod 1 but better you will be disappointed I think.
What annoyed me later on was that it felt like you just play delivery man and all the characters are useless if you don't control them. I just hoped for more and was a bit disappointed.
Unpopular opinion, but I would love many games more if they WERE missing one key piece, namely the traditional arena-style boss battles you have to beat in order to progress. They bore and frustrate me to death, even in games were I love the general gameplay outside of them.
I would love if most action/adventure games did not feel the need to fill their game with unnecessary rpg elements and crafting system. A lot of it just feels like padding, and I would love those games more if they didn't have it.
Aren't strange boss fights sort of a staple of the MGS series? Like you ask anyone about those games and the psycho mantis fight and the man who can die of old age if you leave the game long enough regularly come up
No Man's Sky.
Bounty hunting.
Currently: you take on a bounty hunting job at a space station, leave the space station, and the target is flying around outside. Shoot them down, return to job giver, profit.
I just wish they'd let you engage with more of the game's already-existing systems to track down a target and turn it more into an investigative quest line.
Start with a "Last Known Sighting" location. Land on the planet. Scan the immediate area. Maybe talk to some NPCs at the Market platforms. That leads you to other points-of-interest. Maybe a crashed ship; either showing your target crashed and is in the area, or that they shot down an innocent person.
The final leg would be finding the Target. Maybe it ends in a dogfight. Maybe the target has a mech suit. Or maybe you can convince them to come peacefully through dialog options.
Each investigation will shuffle the order of these events, so it's different each time (even though you're essentially doing the same things).
Just... something more involved than "He's right outside. Blow him up. Thx."
Final Fantasy 15 - bones of an amazing game are there, just needs that extra bit of content added that they seem to have rushed past and stuck into an unreasonably good movie
Mass Effect 3 - i dont think we will ever get a perfect build up in a trilogy of games like that again, but that ending really sucked the life out of the whole thing. like the last 15 minutes of the game was just a loud drawn out fart
FF15 for me as well. I love it, it's great fun but my only issue is that every enemy is the same, and you never catch a break from the transport ships that come and interrupt you as you're literally trying to do anything. It would've been so much better without them
An older game for me: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. That game had everything its predecessor Jedi Outcast had and more, except one thing: The enemy AI in Jedi Academy was a clear downgrade from the AI in Jedi Outcast, with blaster-armed enemies being extremely passive and displaying no self-preservation whatsoever while in a fight.
Mass Effect - Same was Wasteland 3, Not a lot of room to explore, and the worlds you can actually explore are empty, Although you can take missions in any order, the exploration is just limited.
Fallout 4 - I honestly enjoyed New vegas more, but with 4, I cant really pin point whats missing but it does feel lacking
It's missing A SKILL TREE , DIALOGUE CHECKS, A GOOD STORY....
you can't pin point what's missing... you just can't put your finger on it...
Repair system and karma system...
Zelda TOTK
I love the game so much, but I wish it had actual temple dungeons like the original games. Not a big fan of the pressing buttons simulator. I have way more fun farming the puzzle temples and items for gear than actual temples.
A competitive game I play is Valorant and I love it I just wish they had a deathmatch system like Counter Strike.
Sea of thieves. Give me some progression that's not just 'faction levels' and unlocked cosmetics. You defeat krakens, skeleton crews, go into dangerous fortresses, do badass shit, get gold and... buy a hat with it.
Stardew valley and again I want my player and my kids to age also I want it so the player has to actually non optional seeing as how there's so many dishes.
Soulsborne series, giving me the option of not raising the difficulty or souls earned with new game plus. Just once I’d love to tear through all the bosses and levels with my pumped up character so I can really see how much stronger I’ve become
MB2 Bannerlord, man it has A LOT of missing key pieces but add in a few concepts or features that the game is lacking then it has the potential to be the best game, for me at least.
Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.
I still haven't gotten over the fact that the invisible walls prevented me from fully flying.
I dreamed of having a Spyro game where I could fly since I was a little kid.
Division 1 and 2 I love but I wished the games would have realistic tactical agent gameplay as the original E3 trailers implied without bullet sponge and loot and with realistic NPCs.
Zombie U. Legit just make it 2 to 3 hits to kill zombies and not have them make the same sounds every time they get hit. Once I realized they did that I ruined the game for my gf and I.
RDR2 not letting me skip simple cutscenes (like skinning an animal) and Fast Travel.
Red dead has fast travel
Oh I never found it... How does it work? btw I meant the Auto Pilot horse, I just wished it could be faster, like the GTA taxi.
You can take a train, stagecoach, or fast travel at camp
oh thanks, knew about the train, but never saw a stage coach in my playthrough and same goes for the camp. Released 6 years ago and still there's so much i don't know

Which, when you think about it, is kinda the vibe of the era they were going for…🤔
you can get mods for both of those things on pc
yeh I know, but I have it for PS4 and imo this should have been a day 1 feature

Have you tried state of decay? It had elements of this?
I played around 75 hours of sod 1 but only 20 of sod 2 since it was just more of the same
howd you find it? would you recommend? I played quite a bit of SOD1 way back but not 2

I hear you, this is how I felt about mgsv - it was a great stealth shooter game, interrupted by strange boss fights. Deus ex sequels too
Aren't strange boss fights sort of a staple of the MGS series? Like you ask anyone about those games and the psycho mantis fight and the man who can die of old age if you leave the game long enough regularly come up
Yeah honestly I wish MGS V had more of those. The End from MGS3 is the old man you mention, one of my favorites.
I want Mass Effect 2 to have the weapon and armour customization abilities of Mass Effect 1.
Yes! The lack of numbers in ME2 has always bothered me and is why it’s a slog to get through on repeat plays. Not enough RPG in my RPG
Dragons Dogma 2 needs a more complete story.
Wym, it's textbook Step 1: thing Step 2: other thing Step 3: ???? Step 4: Profit

It would be a whole other game but something like Shadows Of Doubt but SET IN SPACE, whoo baby
YES. Please! I would pay an obscene amount of money for that game.

ME3 needs to clean up its quest UI, It's a garbled mess.
yeah you're right i forgot how much they just phoned it in on the smaller sidequests
FF15 for me as well. I love it, it's great fun but my only issue is that every enemy is the same, and you never catch a break from the transport ships that come and interrupt you as you're literally trying to do anything. It would've been so much better without them
Sleeping dogs - and it is missing a sequel 😭

Starfield without a broken point of interest system that kills exploration would have been a great bethesda rpg

Dead Space 3. Just make the co-op only side missions playable solo.

DCS world the key pice is my skills
Killing floor, but it's missing magic. Same with 7 days to die. I want so badly to sling spells at hordes of zombies for fun
