Have full on sex scenes so I don't have to choose between gaming and masterbating. FULL ON and very GRAPHIC, NO CENSORSHIP!!!!!!!!! Let's just stop with the barely covered bodies and go full on.

captcha: Stand up guy, so very true :)

This... we are slowly getting there as future games keep pushing that to the point it's going to just be porn and gaming.

Edit: oh god i just refreshed and saw a giant pony below me.

Every game from now on must be 20% cooler


ALL INDUSTRY PROBLEMS SOLVED
(sorry about forgetting to spoiler tag that, may bad)

Be on Mac if it's a PC game, so I can play games beyond Valve games, Serious Sam 3, Psychonauts and Minecraft.

Must have its single player campaign playable OFFLINE.

FFS.

"Every new game from now on must be made by examining ALL other relevant games, analyzing their gameplay and creating a game that has the best possible ideas of the developers and of the industry incorporated into it."

I had already made this up when I examined skyrim and thought that the combat was horribly outdated. Fallout 3 had a cool wounding system. Now obviously that can't be incorporated as is into skyrim but it could work very well. But instead of innovating and incorporating a new GOOD idea they let the series stagnate by keeping the single health bar system which is woefully outdated in action rpg's, in my opinion. Well it by itself isn't but I think wounding and fatigue systems should be more prominent and fleshed out. Skyrim's stamina isn't realistic, and on the whole the stamina/mana/health system is outdated and doesn't work as well as a more innovative system could. This would work better with a combat system such as this and that would work better with an improved perks/skills system.

Every new game must have a pokemon-style mini-game in it. No exceptions.

I want to see pitched pokemon battles between Call of Duty matches and pokemon-esque arenas in the next Fallout, god dammit.

EDIT: And yes, this applies to standard pokemon games as well.

What is it with gamers' obsession with sexual content? IT'S IN THE WAY OF MY IMMERSION, DAMNIT!

Never! I shall battle the monsters of the wasteland with radioactive Pikachus and pocket-sized Deathclaws!

Every new game from now on, if they pass the first aspect of the Bechdel test (i.e. having two or more women), must pass the entire test (they must talk to each other about something other than men.) This applies in reverse as well.

Every game from now on has to be free of DRM, day 1 DLC, Disc-locked content, P2Win, and aaaaall the other bad shit in the industry.

Every new game from now on must place single player above multiplayer.

Must be a sequel. Oh wait... too late.

Every game from now on must now have an FOV slider. And yes, this means all games. I don't care if you're Pokemon Red so help me god you will have an FOV slider if you're releasing after May 2012

Every New Game From Now On Must be better than all the previous ones. Good luck with that, developers.

Spoiler dat shit mate! It's a good joke, but non bronies don't like seeing big ponies in a non pony discussion.

All games, if marketed on the PC, must fully use the potential and capacity of the PC and not be a shoddy port of a game designed for 6 year technology that wasn't great even then.

If a game is console "exclusive" fine, crack on but please, please can we not have another Alpha Protocol.

So disappointing.

Every game from now on must focus on campaign first, multiplayer second *glares at Cod and Battlefield*

Also Every game that doesn't should have an appology note and chocolates as free DLC

Every game from now on must include a mandatory dance-off.

Every game from now on must have at least its single player component available offline.

give me 5% of their profits... what? you all thought it to.

Quantum Star:
Every game from now on must have at least 2 months minimum reserved for play-testing, bug fixes, and quality assurance.

This. Games need to be finished, then have a solid amount of time dedicated purely to the above.

Or maybe people simply don't like a giant picture in place of actual discussion.

Winthrop:
Every game from now on must have highly adjustable graphics ranging from the beautiful modern graphics to NES level so computer specs are not an issue to play the newest, most entertaining games.

This. I would actually like Skyrim to run on my computer well. But I don't get that. Oh well.

My answer would be
Every New Game must be evaluated by me, to be sure that it is of good quality.

AstylahAthrys:
Ever new game from now on must not suck. There. That is a blanket statement that will help the industry.

Ninja'd. Literally, I came in this thread thinking those exact 2 words.

Every New Game From Now On Must...

Have that thing like in Mass Effect 3, Dissidia Final Fantasy and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom where you can flip the cover sheet to a different design.

I like that.

Every new game from now on must include a feature that allows a player to trade in-game points or achievements for real world money, or to be able to sell in-game items to other players for real-world money without being limited to in-game credits.

New versions of Tetris would become immensely popular with this requirement.

Every game must give me the option to skip any cutscene. I usually don't WANT to, but not giving me the option to is bullshit.

They must also have NO pre-rendered cutscenes. I fucking hate them.

Every PC port should be done competently.

All RPGs with combat as an important gameplay factor, should pay some significant attention to that combat and actually make it fluent and exciting. In other words, they shouldn't be like the VAST majority of RPGs where everything is based on stats and its incredibly fucking boring.

Every new game must have a usable, fully automatic potato gun hidden somewhere in the game. Even if it's not a shooter it still must have this.

Must be made by the developer with NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE.I still this Mass Effect 3 would of been better if it was just Bioware

Winthrop:

I know this thread isn't exactly full of realistic ideas, but I've thought of this before myself and quickly realized it's impossible. I know you were exaggerating by saying NES graphics, but even making a modern game look like a year 2000 game with graphics scalers would be pretty much impossible.

There IS a limit to how far a games graphics can scale without making major technical adjustments to the game engine that would be too time consuming and too troublesome just to cater to people who would probably rather buy the game on a console anyway. But I'll agree they could do with making them scale a bit better than they currently do.

Every game from now on must not have microtransactions, DRM or micro-DLC that isn't purely cosmetic.

Every game has to include Batman, just in a small way. Maybe he could be a postor, or even make a cameo. I just want more Batman.

Captcha: Long Division.... I can't think of anything funny for that.

Has to be more specific than that. A game that you think sucks might be someone else's favorite game.

Or in other words, "define the phrase 'not suck'."

Thats... not a bad idea really.

Of course finding two women in a game can be surprisingly difficult sometimes.

Recaptcha: little bird told me

Thoric485:
Be made by an independent studio.

How about 'be made by Valve'?

You may thank me later.

Every New Game From Now On Must... ask itself, 'what would Deus Ex do?', and then do that thing.
