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]
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.
...I bow before your almighty might, God of video games.
ehhhh it was nothing really...I actually enjoyed every just about every aspect of both games except for the optional collecting/tagging that could be done

Wouldn't everyone die if we didn't have atmosphere?

Anyway:

Shift from Driver: San Francisco. The british accent from Saints Row 2. The shotgun from Painkiller.

Gears of War: Waist-high walls. The entire gameplay mechanic revolves around the existence of them.

Deus Ex Human Revolution: Augmented sunglasses.

I'm going to exchange remove for 'replace' for this instance. *Cough*

The Battle System in Tales of Symphonia is now turn based.

*Lightning* *evil laughter*

Take Power Plays away from Split/Second. If any game was good because of one element, it was that.

Oblivion - Same as Fallout 3

Mass Effect series - Remove all companion interaction.

Deus Ex HR - remove all stealth elements

Dragon Age - Get rid of all those pesky stats, numbers, equipment managing, etc. Make it a good ol' fashioned action game! Maybe we'll get this by the third installment!

Portal 1/2 - GladOS. Just remove her completely. Save a ton of money on writing and voice acting!

Planescape: Torment - Remove the dialogue box.

Sims 1/2/3 - No buy/build mode. All live mode all the time!
