I’ve performed numerous video games in my lifetimes. I say ‘lifetimes’ as a result of I’ve lived many alternative lives, all of which have been extremely uneventful and have principally revolved round taking part in totally different video games.
Options are what make a recreation. Many individuals are saying this. In case you speak to any recreation developer and ask them, “What makes up a online game?”, they are going to inform you, “Options.” Go on, ask any of them. In the event that they don’t have this reply, I don’t know what to inform you. I’m simply spitballing right here. Typically, I simply say stuff. It’s no matter.
In case you haven’t acquired a recreation with options, what have you ever acquired? I dunno, a film? However even motion pictures have particular options if you happen to purchase the DVD, Blu-Ray, or Extremely HD 4K Blu-Ray. Typically in these particular options, you’ll discover video games. It’s humorous how life works like that.
Anyway, I’ve performed numerous video games and loved numerous options in video games. On that be aware, I’d prefer to inform you the options that I believe each recreation ought to attempt to have included of their expertise, based mostly on the video games that I’ve performed in my many, many lifetimes.
I don’t ask for a lot from you, I merely simply ask for the love of God that you just have a look.
G/O Media might get a fee
An unsightly little man that’s annoying and all people hates
You see this in video video games on a regular basis. A bit man that’s simply horrible to take a look at, often with a grating voice, and at all times with so much to say. I imagine that whereas it already exists in lots of video games, a horrible little asshole ought to exist in each online game.
I suggest this man. His identify is Beremy, and he can be the most typical character within the recreation. He’s extremely impolite, at all times round, gives you recommendation that doesn’t really assist in any method, and there may be actually no a part of the sport that he’s not in. Additionally, he’s in love with you.
Urgent a button to scream
Have you learnt how in Canine’s Life, there’s a button that permits you to shit/fart? I believe that’s nice. Nevertheless, I believe it’s positively gotten a bit outdated, and each recreation having a shit/fart button would in all probability be somewhat isolating for anyone that doesn’t shit/fart.
That being mentioned, I believe that each recreation ought to have a Scream button. Why not? There isn’t a single recreation that wouldn’t profit from having the choice to simply begin screaming. Not solely wouldn’t it be a aid in video games which might be nerve-racking, but it surely may be used to scare issues away in a determined time of want.
Sensible auto-play
Idle video games are all around the Auto-Play characteristic, and I believe it’s actually overdone and unrealistic. These Auto-Play modes appear to at all times profit the participant, and more often than not don’t mirror how a participant would really play the sport.
Because of this, I imagine that video games with and with out an Auto-Play characteristic ought to have Sensible Auto-Play, which routinely performs the sport actually badly. I additionally suppose that there needs to be a warning beforehand that claims, “WARNING: That is how we imagine you’d play the sport. If you’re damage by this, possibly it is best to give taking part in the sport a strive.”
Unavoidable calls to your private cellular from the worst character within the recreation
Bear in mind how Overwatch 2 wished individuals to be required so as to add their cellular numbers to their accounts? I believe it is a nice concept, purely for the aim of this characteristic. I believe all video games ought to embody 3-hour unavoidable cellphone calls in your real-life cellphone with the worst character within the recreation (discuss with Function 1).
On this cellphone name, it’s important to reply audibly to the character with issues like, “Wow!” and “That’s actually insightful!”, and it’s important to imply it. The three-hour cellphone name will include the character speaking a couple of putrid development that has appeared on their interior thigh, and they’ll go into nice element about all of the ‘pure cures’ they’ve been utilizing on it that haven’t been working. You can’t hold up.
