I’ve performed numerous video games in my lifetimes. I say ‘lifetimes’ as a result of I’ve lived many various lives, all of which have been extremely uneventful and have principally revolved round taking part in completely different video games.
Options are what make a sport. Many individuals are saying this. In the event you speak to any sport developer and ask them, “What makes up a online game?”, they may 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 the event you haven’t bought a sport with options, what have you ever bought? I dunno, a film? However even motion pictures have particular options in the event you 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 notice, I’d prefer to inform you the options that I feel each sport ought to attempt to have included of their expertise, primarily based 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 could 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 of man that’s simply horrible to have a look at, normally with a grating voice, and at all times with quite a bit 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 could be the most typical character within the sport. He’s extremely impolite, at all times round, gives you recommendation that doesn’t really assist in any approach, 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
Are you aware how in Canine’s Life, there’s a button that permits you to shit/fart? I feel that’s nice. Nonetheless, I feel it’s positively gotten a bit outdated, and each sport having a shit/fart button would in all probability be a bit of isolating for anyone that doesn’t shit/fart.
That being stated, I feel that each sport ought to have a Scream button. Why not? There isn’t a single sport that wouldn’t profit from having the choice to only begin screaming. Not solely wouldn’t it be a aid in video games which might be annoying, nevertheless it is also used to scare issues away in a determined time of want.
Sensible auto-play
Idle video games are all around the Auto-Play function, and I feel 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 replicate how a participant would really play the sport.
Because of this, I imagine that video games with and with out an Auto-Play function ought to have Sensible Auto-Play, which mechanically performs the sport actually badly. I additionally suppose that there must be a warning beforehand that claims, “WARNING: That is how we imagine you’ll play the sport. If you’re harm by this, perhaps it is best to give taking part in the sport a strive.”
Unavoidable calls to your private cell from the worst character within the sport
Keep in mind how Overwatch 2 needed individuals to be required so as to add their cell numbers to their accounts? I feel it is a nice concept, purely for the aim of this function. I feel all video games ought to embrace 3-hour unavoidable telephone calls in your real-life telephone with the worst character within the sport (check with Function 1).
On this telephone name, it’s a must to reply audibly to the character with issues like, “Wow!” and “That’s actually insightful!”, and it’s a must to imply it. The three-hour telephone name will include the character speaking a few putrid development that has appeared on their internal thigh, and they’re going to go into nice element about all of the ‘pure treatments’ they’ve been utilizing on it that haven’t been working. You can not hold up.
