Game concepts.

I always wished somebody would make a free, easy to use 2D top-down flight simulator that you could make your own maps & planes for.

Ontopic: I had a kinda cool-ish concept for a game, but it's reeeeaallly ambitious.
Essentially the main story-line is: The ice caps melt and people start to live primarily on boats, but there are occasional pockets of land here and there. Your character is a pirate. There are also very advanced scuba-suits that allow prolonged trips underwater. This would introduce a very interesting element of underwater combat into the game, which basically nobody has been able to do successfully. Interesting locations include underwater cities like New York, maybe, or other highly developed urban centers.
Also I really like the idea of being able to have your own boat that you could drive around and maybe like, board other boats and raid them or something I dunno lol.
I haven't really thought this through at all and there's a lot that I have still in mah brain that hasn't made it onto this screen, but if it sounds alright then hey, maybe I'll develop it a bit more.

underwater combat would likely be very slow and sluggish without the proper equipment
with the proper equipment, you have what essentially equates to an anime fight, and it might be too fast
the pacing is weird in both areas

This sounds stupid, but I had an idea about a guy who finds himself fighting extremely dark monsters that only lie in the shadows, when he finally defeats the final monster boss, he wakes up from a coma as he was just fighting the darkness within his own mind.
His main weapon is a pump-action shotgun with a large knife attached to the butt of the gun to form a scythe.
Dunno if something like this was done before.
Bushido:
so it's like alan wake minus the neat plot
and plus a scythe-shotgun

A mix of GTA and the Sims, basically being able to do more life stuff and not being forced into crime (although that is an option)
