If anyone is interested

When bodies and debris don't vanish.

I love it. I remember setting up custom bridge battles in Shogun Total War ( first one ) just to look at those beautiful carpets forming while my naginata defended the bridge supported by archers.

I would love to see more non-vanishing tank/apc/car/aircraft wrecks in RTS/FPS games that can be used as cover or can obstruct the field of fire ( of course i mean games where you can deploy multiple random vehicles not the predefined ones ).

Decided to check some cryo-caskets at the edge of my colony.
Proceeding scarab invasion killed everyone.

- lack of good games remakes when shit franchises like Ass Creed or COD get a new game every year - i would fucking kill for a new Freespace, Darklands, Nexus Jupiter Incident and many many more but devs are too lazy to risk and try something new.

You say that, but imagine them being done by a modern mainstream studio. "Darklands One, now a Skyrim clone in the colonial US. Fight the evil British gremlins as a warrior, thief or wizard."

I think remakes should be done more of games that had innovative concepts but failed to some extent in execution. It's way easier to fail at recreating a great game than it is to make a meh game good, I feel.

Remake Twilight 2000, Mega Traveller, Millennia: Altered Destinies, X-Com: Apocalypse, Bureau 13, or Dominus. There's so much unrealized potential in these.

Divinity Original Sin was a huge success and despite how hard, complicated and old school it was... so its a risk but i say it would be awesome to remake those IP's instead of the next Ass Creed rehash.

Couple more :

- Absolute lack of any sexual content/life ( aka American rightwinger hypocrisy ) - your heroes kill hundreds of people, maim, wound and ruin countless sentient creatures but god forbids if someone fucks anyone, there is absolutely no nudity or any kind of sexual life even in RPG's. Also conservatards going complete apeshit over naked tits in game ( GTA SA Hot Coffee comes to mind or Original textures to Oblivion scandal )/ any kind of "hard" content like sexual slavery, drugs, child killing, rape etc and no one cares about those many murders you commit in often various horrible ways.

- unequal difficulty level - whole game is a cake walk but then there is this one boss/mission/something that amps the difficulty level by 1000 % and basiucally ruins the entire game ( often for completely illogical and pointless reasons ).

- time limits - i just fucking hate them ...

- "good and brave and lawful way is the only possible way " in RPG's - bonus points to irritation when the Bad way is technically possible but with so much fake difficulty and stupid shit that its simply not valid/fun ( looking at you Baldurs Gate ).

- lack of any bonuses for best times/ratings etc, lack of New Game +, lack of cheats - i hate the recent modern trend of putting awesome items/weapons/characters in paid DLC and all those things only giving you some shitty achievements that only attention whores care about..

- too much of a leap between difficulty levels aka Normal = too easy, hard= too hard ( im looking at you XCOM Enemy Unknown 2012 ).

Zombie pandemic decimated mankind.
Zombies rule over entire Europe, Asia, North and South Africa. They overrun South America and are making their way into Central and North America where USA ( with gigantci outbreak in Washington DC ) and Empire of Mexico ( with California outbreak ) are too weak to stop them...
Free of the zombie scourge are the vast jungles of Central Africa.... and Kingdom of Two Sicillies fortified on the south part of Itallian Penninsula and Sicily.
Workers have been mobilized, troops are trained in the new ways of combat thanks to the discovery of Bolt Action rifles and entire country is determined to endure this new threat.
Zombies number in the thousands outside front line in Apennine Mountains but they will never breach those defences.

For King and Country !!

My first Code Black -
Operation Vengeful Moon .

Lost 3 soldiers ( see pic http://imgur.com/FJcMERA ), 2 more critically wounded ( five man squad ) but technically game counted that as a victory since i evacuated EXALT operative first....
With tutorials on this game has completely different pacing ( in all my games by the time i got that mission i had 2 x MEC Troopers ... and now Cyb-Lab is still under construction ) and its brutal as hell even on Normal :/

P.s. Vargas a.k.a. Arg-Heavy/Delta 2 died on second mission ;____:7

Fablivion 3 ( i've made a promise to myself never to refer to that "thing" as Fallout 3 ) almost made me sick IRL, Fablivion New Vegas was one of the main causes of my depression few years ago  ....
I'm pretty sure that Fablivion 4 by Bethesdaslopworks is gonna kill me .... 

Good thing that EU4 in on the horizon and i always have DF and Aurora 4x...
