God of War (2018) - XP system. The game just isn't that fun until you have those weapons highly leveled up. Wasn't a problem in any other game in the series, but the combat was kinda boring until Kratos got powerful (imo). Halo Reach - Loadouts/Armor Ability I'd change a lot in Reach but an arena shooter with loadouts kinda defeats the purpose. Let me pick up all of those sweet weapons and lose the special armor skills attributed to each one. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life - Phone crimes These phone calls drive me nuts. I don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to phone me every minute to fight a criminal as a vigilante when the crux of the game is fighting criminals every two seconds. Why add the middle man with an annoying ring? -- Probably A LOT more I can think of. Most of my MAJOR issue with games are nitpicks to most people so idk why I'm drawing a blank now but I'll report back.

@dmcmaster I thought I would be.

So I thought this would be easy, but I'm kinda having trouble narrowing down my HMs. Top 4 was so easy it was crazy, but there are a few games I really want to give the proper respect. I really want to include Morbidly Obese Australian Manchild Simulator 2020 even though it's really just a roster update of 2019, but I guess since we are getting all loosie-goosie with the rules now...

Youtube Video I'm really in the mood for an ambitious AA new franchise.

Let's Play X-Men ep 5! Expect musings on choosing the best mutant power in real life, and Wolverine finally gets a chance to shine against Sabertooth. X-Men LP (Genesis/Mega Drive) episode 5, Wolverine/Nightcrawler Playthrough, stages 3 & 4 Youtube Video

@capnbobamous That's exactly what I'm thinking. Diego is tough and such an intense guy that I think he's kinda like a more braun than brains kinda of guy and this Josh Fabia guy is using that to his advantage.

I would be surprised as I don't see how the current level design and online structure could easily accommodated it and I don't see them or Square making a big investment on this game. Maybe in a sequel, if we ever get one. Square would probably prefer to risk it for Avengers which is much more easy to milk (Although Disney might not be into it).

@neocweeny The original game, for the final ending you needed to get all the weapons and max all of them out, one of which I recall being missable in the first half (the sword called faith I think) Beyond that if you do all the side quest (especially the fishermen one) you'll be able to make enough money in a hour or so to buy damn near every material you need and pay for the upgrade as well.

@dipset Final showdown of every movie is 25 minutes of him ground and pounding the baddie and letting it go to the cards.

@DIPSET I've been following those fan restorations on and off for years. It's wonderful the lengths they've gone to.
