Metal Gear Solid 4

I woud have had Snake pull the trigger on himself, Big Boss having shown up just in time to witness it. He rests Snake against his fake headstone and walks away.

Would've mentioned the so-called Star Wars "prequel trilogy", but such a thing never actually existed.

That would mean no plot exposition! I won't accept it!

OT: I would change AC2 sooooooooo much. For starters, goodbye Desmond storyline. Then I would make it an even more tragic story about Ezio than it already is, in which he fails several times with his goals, and in the end he is a beaten up man in his 40's. But then he decides to try one last time to get his revenge, and he makes a glorious return! Then he dies.

If there is one thing Metal Gear can do with less of, it's plot.

The shifts into the nightmare realm in Silent Hill Shattered Memories. Sure, they are scary, but after awhile you realize that there are no scary encounters in the non-nightmare parts, so you aren't really on edge until you see the ice begin to build up. The original Silent Hill had you on edge the entire time, since you could never tell where the monsters were, they could be anywhere anytime, and when nightmare world came in you got even more panicked.

Right... No, that's just stupid.

What it can do is tell the plot better. It's not like it has unneccesary amounts of side-stories, it just paces the story and cutscenes really poorly.

What the hell are you on about? what Prequel's?
I think he must mean the expanded universe stuff. Surely I would have heard of it if there three new movies?? Books maybe?

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Instead of mugging for the police chopper like an idiot, Titan Joker focuses his efforts on breaking Batman's face. There's never a point where he lets up in his assault. He's constantly coming after you, responding to any direct attack you make with a brutal counter. To survive the battle, you have to use your most advanced tools and predator skills, using Arkham Island (which at this point should probably be flooded with armed thugs) as your camouflage.
It's as much a gameplay tweak as it is a storyline revision, but honestly, I think it's necessary. For all the buildup that battle gets, seeing it reduced to a three-minute test of Batman's punching ability just seems insulting. I mean, it's Batman versus his archenemy on Titan! It's not the kind of battle that should come down to a simple fist fight!

I don't know. Rather a lot of people it seems have been brainwashed into believing they exist.

*slap* Quote properly!

I wasn't speaking of your version of the ending, which I like more, even if only because I can't imagine anything that could have been worse than the original.

I seem to recall saying they "never actually existed". And I stick by that. Not as books, or anything else.

After saving Hyrule for the fifty-billionth time, Link stages a one-man military coup and deposes the corrupt and incompetent monarchy that routinely allows evil beings from the beyond to pillage at will. Shortly thereafter, his benign dictatorship collapses since, being a mute, he can't give orders. He retires in shame and starts a lawn service.

Tekryo must have fallen from an alternate timeline into ours. Its the only explanation. Just like that guy who once mentioned a fourth Indiana Jones movies. He quickly agreed that no such things exists in the same sentence aswell.

When the big bad demon-like Deviculus is right there, a mere five feet away from you, DO NOT JUMP UP FROM HIDING AND CALL HIM OUT, LARS. Your troops, sister, and even your organs will thank you.

As a result, Eddy and gang continue their rockin' tour throughout the land and beat Deviculus that week, as opposed to a few months later, and never incur the wrath of the Sea of Black Tears.

When they attack the hive, a giant hierophants mouth should pop-up and all hell breaks loose. They get in the mouth and plant a bomb. They escape and they all fall into a pit to escape the fire. A thunderhawk comes and picks them up. As it rises to the skies the camera moves to the black space and Horus's Eye flashes quickly.

Dawn Of War 2!!!!

Kingdom Hearts 2. Most of it, but here's the change I think most needed to happen:

That moment when Sora actually kneels before Saix and caves over the fact that they've kidnapped his girlfriend, Saix shouldn't have gone "no!" and just left. Sora should've gone with him, and Donald and Goofy should've been left there going, "what're we gonna do now!?"

And then, out of the dark portal steps their answer. Riku. NOT turned into Ansem or any of the lame bullshit they tried to foist on us that shat all over all the character development he went through in Chain of Memories--Riku, badass, in control, and fully playable. He'd have Dark Form as a Drive and would be able to FREAKING JUMP. The next segment would be all about Sora's friends rescuing HIM instead of the other way around before the game returns control of him over to the player.

The romance between the apprentice and the pilot, I would have had some rather than just a kiss! George Lucas can write Sci Fi but not romance!

I can't write that genre either so I won't try, but at least I admit I can't! Damn you George Lucas
