Remove one feature from an excellent game to make it awful

[tactica]

I'll remove DirectX as a feature.

See where that gets those games.

They'd run, or crash, much faster.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory without the stealth.

Halo Reach without the Active Camo. (I <3 stealth)

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood without the Multiplayer. Sure, everyone basically RP's a chimney sweep with knives, damn roofers, but it's fun if you're actually being stealthy.

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

Movement controls. Exploration is so, like, over-rated and stuff, innit?

I was going to say the beautiful aesthetic of Oblivion, but this kills it even quicker!

 

[TheTaco007]

CoD4: minus skill/weapon balance = shit (AKA Modern Warfare 2)

On Topic: Dynasty/Samurai Warriors the removal of Peons

I would mourn so much if this happened.

OT: Devil May Cry series: The incredibly over-the-top action. I would be so sad. (And no, this isn't commentary on the new one that's coming out- I've still got my hopes up for that. ^.^)

the Game from Final Fantasy
oh wait
they already did

Fallout 3 or New Vegas

VATS

Less of a problem in New Vegas.

 

[JMeganSnow]

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.

Nothing like launching your bouncy tank off the top of a mountain.

Any DragonBall Z game

Energy attacks

 

[JasonKaotic]

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.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

Pokemon from pokemon,
Portals from Portal,
Assassins from Assassin's Creed,

Okay, being serious now...
Online features from Demon's Souls,
The story from any Assassin's Creed game
Customization from LittleBIGPlanet
Mods from Civilization V
Talking from Dragon Age

Borderlands has 5 guns now.

... I almost gave myself a heart attack just there.

 

[Saltyk]

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

I was gonna say this. Keep the game the same, but remove cover. It'd just be a game of frustration and death. Same with any game with cover based combat.

On Topic: Dynasty/Samurai Warriors the removal of Peons

to farther it have removal of health bars

Anouther game I thought of would be Deus Ex and removal the Stealth

 

[Vicarious Reality]

The gun feel/ballistics from STALKER

Hitscan ftw

 

[AlexShrub]

I'd say something about Cave Story, but it has so many good things you'd have to remove it all, so instead:


Torchlight - the Ambiance

 

[Randomperson9999999]

driver: San Francisco's shift ability

 

[MrRetroSpectacles]

Mass Effect series: Asari.

That'd be at least 90% of the nerd community gone, never great for a sci-fi franchise

 

[Veldel]

Fallout 3 or New Vegas

VATS

Less of a problem in New Vegas.

You know the removal wouldnt even effect me as I dont use it... now if you remove perks well the game is fucked
