Remove one feature from an excellent game to make it awful

[Platypus540]

Halo

the melee attack

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

Civilization without the vicious and obnoxious AI.

Team Fortress 2... WITHOUT HATS! The hats are all! The game was nothing before hats!

 

[Mythrignoc]

Removing the save option would mess up just about every game.

Heh, I take it you haven't played a lot of NES platformers like Mario or Megaman.

Awesome Game- Psychonauts.
Remove- Any single major character.
Result- Nowhere near as satisfying an experience.

Awesome Game- Morrowind
Remove- Unique Environment and Scenery
Result- Oblivion

 

[Toriver]

Remove the sword from Legend of Zelda.
Slow Sonic down: no more momentum, speed shoes or springs.

Mega Man can't take robot masters' weapons anymore.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

bioware games

remove text/voice from the game.

you basically destroyed their whole collection.

 

[The Cap]

removing the iron sight aiming from fallout new vegas.

ooops my bad,

ive gone described fallout 3


ps; (captcha) ecliev act. sounds like somebodies about to get fucked up

 

[AgDr_ODST]

Mass Effect: your Squad mates it would be one very lonely if not futile quest to save the galaxy
Halo, Call of Duty[footnote](including Modern Warefares 1-3 in this same umberella to save space)[/footnote]&Battlefield: the multiplayer
GTA, Red Dead Redemption,Saints Row's 1&2 and Infamous: the open world aspect
Catherine: the block puzzles

 

[Lawlhat]

Definitely the destruction from Battlefield games as of late.

Saints Row - cheats.
Seriously, if anyone here has completed, or even enjoyed the first Saints Row without cheats, they must be some omnipotent being. That game is frustrating beyond words even with cheats. Even for me, no achievements is a very necessary sacrifice.
Grah...
But it's fun with them on. Apart from those goddamn sidemissions...
And most of the story missions...
Yeah, the sandbox is all that's good about it, really.

I disagree I played all the way through both games stories to the end[footnote]

Spoiler

well......I didnt beat the epilogue of the first game

[/footnote] without cheating once....AND THEN I did a 2nd character/playthrough and cheated it up like a boss.

Fallout - Humour.
Its a satirical deconstruction of mid 20th century ideas of the future with a whole bunch of cultural references and a healthy dose of fatalism. Take out the humour and its a deconstruction of mid 20th century ideas of the future designed to inspire wrist slitting.

They actually did that in Fallout 3. believe me I loved Fallout 3, so much i would do incredibly sick things in defence of it.
But it was also one of the most bleakest games i ever played. It was just so grey, and the only sort've humour in it was the DLC.
Fallout New Vegas did a good job in returning the humour.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Take away sliding from Mega Man 3. Instant crap as half the bosses have no way to avoid taking damage from them.

TRY BEATING SHADOW MAN NOW.

 

[HiC]

Parkour in Assassins Creed... this is a grim world we live in

 

[Sectan]

Removing multiplayer from Halo or CoD. Either would ruin the game. I like the SP in both, but most people seem to buy for the MP.

...I bow before your almighty might, God of video games.

 

[rayen020]

Take away Links (Legend of Zelda) silence. give him dialogue... Actually this works for just about any mostly silent protagonist. Gordon Freeman, Mario, etc.

 

[TheDooD]

Leveling up in Modern Warfare 2.
Even less people would play it.

hell get rid of the life regen and don't add health packs I can see the rage from here.

 

[Backup Fruit]

Half Life 2- Physics.

Welcome to hell.

 

[Dalek Caan]

Can't place blocks in Minecraft. Game collapse on itself, notch keeps all the money. Jeb goes missing.

 

[PureIrony]

Sprint from Assassin's Creed. Or possibly the hidden blade.

Honestly, if you couldn't race atop the roofs, waiting for an unaware guard to turn around and then sprint over and pounce on him, the game would be so much less cathartic.

 

[DalekJaas]

1st person from the Elder Scrolls, I would never even look at the game again.
