Game Rants (How to Make a Good Game)
Marcem:
Ok, this has been bugging me for a while.Â
Characters
Seriously, people, do we need huge boobs on any and every female character in games? They're loving polygons! I like Valve and Nintendo, because they LIKE diversity in characters! They have a mix of race, gender, etc. What is wrong with a normal looking female? Nothing!
Genre
Ok, we already have 5,000 generic shooters, how is yours different? Grand Theft Auto has the crime factor, Portal has the portals, Half-Life series has a good plot. Yes good plots are nice too. Or, you can choose one of the genres that you see NO games of, like, puzzle, and such.
Online Junk
One thing that bugs me: voice chat. Yes, it does annoy me, give a way to turn it off, or mute, PLEASE!  It's good for strategizing, or machinima, not Rick Roll, or ear rape. Have a text chat mute and such too. Add something unique, like the rival system in Burnout, or a free roam pre-match setup time. Have many game modes. Make good dedicated management.
Graphics < Gameplay
Make us be able to change quality, for better performance, for old computers. Just make the game look good enough to know what everything is, feel free to polish a lot, but look at Crysis, many people do not suggest it, it's gameplay wasn't good enough. (from what I've heard.) After graphics are good, then you test to see if quality broke gameplay then release, not make good looking stuff, then gameplay. make the gameplay unique, as stated in the "genre" section. Also, release when YOU want, not when fans do, look at Badspot, he doesn't give a stuff about us wanting v9 so bad.
That is all, so discuse. No console wars stuff.
Sarge:
