    Default Features that make you love a game.

    AC4 has a fully customisable HUD. Absolutely PERFECT. If I had the authority, I would make this mandatory in all games.

    What relatively small things have had a disproportionately large impact on your opinion of a game?

    The Create an Arena in WWF Attitude was my favorite part about the game.

    Dyable armor; I love character customization in general, but a lot of games don't let you customize your clothes.

    New Game+

    Should be absolutely required for almost every game, yet so few feature it.

    Cohesion of design, it's what I love about the MegaTen series cause these guys get it and it's one of the reasons Monolith Soft's Xenoblade gets so much love as well, the overall game design has such splendid cohesion and everything works into everything else.

    A 3D camera, I have to say I prefer having a moving camera cause if you're going to have some poor background 3D artist slaving away at their desk for months on end, I want to be able to appreciate it.

    Tenchu 2's mission creator had me busy for dozens of hours. Loved it.

    Oh, wearing clothes and armour, a la Morrowind and Dragon's Dogma.

    Readable text or audio....it's hard to read stuff on a small tv when the games are formatted for something bigger....(especially since the text is white and sometimes they have the most awful backgrounds).

    Ability to sort items by what they are (not just have a bunch of random potions and things mixed together so you have to go through a long list of stuff to find something).

    Nobody has mentioned references to previous games? That has to be one of the better thingsnin gaming.

    I'm a huge sucker for a good aesthetic. Something that's coherent and well-designed will make me put up with a lot of mediocrity.

    Collectibles that have more effect on the game than say "collect 400 different flags for 20 gamerscore" make a collectible worth collecting. However, do it in a sense what won't break the game. A fair few games now do this but often they make the game so broken when they do it's unbearable.

    Customization. A game with an attractive visual design that also lets you capitalize on by being able to customize things it's ideal.

    Also, games like Dark Cloud and Tony Hawk Pro Skater's Create a Park features will have me hooked.

    Yes. I like games that let me customize things. Character design and outfits, towns, vehicles, weapons, attack animations, etc. That's why I got such a kick out of playing games like Dark Cloud, Armored Core, Deadly Arts, Legaia, Fable, San Andreas, etc.

    A game that let's me customize everything would be awesome.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
