Features that everything should have.

You know what they should totally replace loading screens with............................?
Seamless and diverting elevator rides, mm hmm! Oh wait a minute :/ *hates all those people who moaned at BioWare for not breaking immersion.........*

Oh, start using universal chargers. Apparently they'll do it for cell phones, so that's a start. I don't want to throw away a perfectly good charger when I get a new phone/laptop/whatever.

438. The Option To Skip Every Cutscene

I have headdesk'd many a times due to long pointless cutscenes.

I'd like fast travel in real life!
That'd be sick.

Another good feature would be turning on and off gasoline usage for my vehicles.

Cup holders? There aren't enough places to put my drink.

I was fine with he elevators. I wasn't fine with there only being 5 things being said.

Life should have a ctrl+z and a ctrl+f function...

Or, even better, a walkthrough.

And the option of using God mode.

The option to reverse horizontal and vertical directions on console games, for both aiming the camera/POV of the main character, and also when moving around a 3D space, like when you're flying.
They're usually pretty good with this and put it in most games, but that just makes the games that don't have it stand out more.

Wifi. Everything can be improved by wifi.

*shakes fist at Microsoft for making me stretch a cable throughout the length of my room whenever I want to connect to Live*

I remembered another one: pockets. I hate shorts and pants without pockets.

All games should have custom control schemes.

I like having options, but giving me five horrible sets of controls only ends in pain and sorrow. We had these in games from almost a decade ago, why have they suddenly disappeared?

Yes, this a thousand god damn times. R2 is not a fucking shoot button RDR, why can't I change it?

I love your avatar.

The edit button. All forums should have it.

COOPERATIVE!!

Jesus Christ developers, do you not realise the addition of co-op can make an all right game great? Take Left 4 Dead. Play that solo. How exciting.

Can't think of anything non-game related at the moment...

Christ, yes! Take Halo for example. Playing the campaign on your own is pretty good. Solid gameplay, but nothing particularly special. Get a friend in there though, and it becomes a sandboxy, physics based clusterfuck of joy, backed up by one of the greatest soundtracks in videogame history. Co-op can make alright games good, and good games great.

I just thought of another one. PC games should have decent gamepad support. It's really annoying finding out that your gamepad doesn't work with a game or, even worse, that the game is unplayable if you have a gamepad installed (yes, this happened to me).
