Remove one feature from an excellent game to make it awful

[XT inc]

Bullet time from max payne.
Leveling up in CoD games.
Items from Team Fotress 2.
Free running In Mirrors Edge.
The Block button in Ninja Gaiden.
The wrist blade Assassins creed.

The Mako from Mass Effect (there, I said it. I LOVE THAT THING SO MUCH)

I thought I was the only one! I hated the second one for many reasons, one of which being the removal of the Mako.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

The Music from Persona 3 & 4.

Without the music, it would be just another generic JRPG. I don't want generic, I want fantastic.

 

[Pegghead]

Take away movement from Half-Life 2, or any other game.

You can't argue with that.

Super meat boy: respawning.

Christ, I thought about that for a second and my face exploded.

OT, the levelling abilities feature in Deus ex. Enjoy flailing your sniper rifle around like a 5 year old with Parkinson's.

Agility orbs from The Crackdown.

Sadly one of the only reasons I kept playing the first Crackdown was to collect all (300)? agility orbs.

OT: I'm 99% sure if you removed the ball from Fifa 11, the game would be far less enjoyable.

Try removing melee weapons from Space Marine. Remove skills from Deus Ex. Remove combos from any fighting game. Remove non-perma-death from MMO's (meaning if you die you start a new character). Remove boss weapon acquisition from Megaman. Remove towers from MOBA's.

 

[Mark Lambert]

No VATS in Fallout 3.
Take out the weapons in Left 4 Dead.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

The health needles from Killing Floor. Making absolutely necessary for a Medic to heal you would be horrible.

 

[Monkeybald]

Remove all nintendo characters and themes from the Smash Brothers games. That almost happened to begin with... I think.

 

[krazykidd]

Putting in Japanese dialogue(No english subs nothin') to a bethesda game...

You misunderstand the definition of 'remove'

OT:

Guns from CoD
Cinematics from FF13
Atmosphere from Silent hill 2

 

[tactica]

Putting in Japanese dialogue(No english subs nothin') to a bethesda game...

Nah, that would actually make the random talks make sense...

 

[Fooz]

All the cover from gears of war, all of it.

ninja'd......

erm another game.... hmmm

the free running from mirrors edge?

 

[ScrubberDucky]

The Mako from Mass Effect (there, I said it. I LOVE THAT THING SO MUCH)

OhJohnNo is credit to Alliance!

On topic: Dialog from Mass Effect 2. Try to imagine it.

 

[TelHybrid]

Taking away servers from Call of Duty.

Oh wait...

 

[Gardenclaw]

The zombies from Dead Island
The Football from Fifa
