Skills/levels/talent trees; Sniper rifles, rocket launchers, superpowers/magic, a good story with characterization; a compelling enemy.
Halo Reach has many of these so I like it - felt great to be killing Elites again.

Mine's really petty: I really love playing a game that makes me feel like a badass or clearly helps me work towards becoming a badass.

Skill trees and experience points. Bethesda's approach is different, but I love leveling individual skills as well. That and giant, giant game worlds. I want to explore the hell out of everything. This is why Minecraft rocks.
well, pretty much this.

oh. and customization i am a sucker for that.

If a game is portrayed as animeesque, that is usually the hook that makes me start looking at it in detail.

Split screen multiplayer.

Bless you Portal 2. Bless you.
Split Screen Multiplayer on PC

bless you Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Split/Second, Serious Sam, Kane&Lynch, Blur, L4D2

bless you
L4D2 has a Split Screen Multiplayer on PC?!
2 players can play on 1 PC?
I've had no idea about that, how do I activate that?

OT: German WW2 forces as playable faction
See: Day of Defeat: Source, Red Orchestra, Company of Heroes
And I was never disappointed by that weakness so far!

An emphases on humor.

I preordered Duke Nukem never playing it because it looked comically awesome. Bulletstorm, same thing. New franchise, yes by People Can fly, but I bought it new because it looked to have good humor, same with Saint's Row 2.

Also Sucker Punch, that team is GOD

For the most part, I like to feel like it has its own fully developed, fleshed out world. The characters, language, settings, creatures: I like it when it feels like it really is its own unique universe. Immersion in said world is very easy when done well, and I love playing a game for hours and then snapping back to reality, realizing how fun it was to be so completely lost in another world someone created for me to play in.

through console commands, like the first one

sadly, as far as I've tried, it locks both players to Nick and Rochelle

Fantasy for me, further removed from Tolkien standard the better. (Will still buy even if completely copy pastad though). First person, third person, top down, RTS don't care. Love me some fantasy!

If I see it is by Valve or has a familiar character in it (that I like) I'll likely get it.

I also like unique themes and ideas. And Co-op games are more fun than single or competitive.

(was anyone else hoping for this being a thread about what your weakness in games is? As in, what do you suck at most in games? That's what I was expecting).

Landscapes. If a game has beautiful landscapes (and beautiful graphics in general), I get weak. If someone made a game called "exotic landscape explorer", I'd buy it, even if it was nothing other than walking.
Also, strange creatures. Love them. Biologist in real life, and it shows when I'm gaming. "Man, how does that critter work" is a question that sometimes leads to me staring at some small thing at the side of the road for fifteen minutes in a game. If I have someone watching or playing multiplayer, they usually start throwing things at me by that point.
Closest so far, I'd say, are Morrowind (preferably modded up, though not necessary, the base game is already more beautiful, if not as shiny as most newer games) and the Myst games.

Anything that involves flight or something similar (even Mario blasting off) interests me.

Just about anything Bioware does! They've got me hooked since Neverwinter Nights.
