Games I wish existed?

Aurora, except with an actual game attached. I LOVE the idea, and the mechanics are solid and interesting but unfortunately it's more sandbox then game. Take a code-wrench to it and bolt MoO2 on the side somehow and I'll never see daylight again.

A AAA modern xcom type (don't you dare mention that FPS monstrosity) that's not the UFO: after-x series.. don't get me wrong, I liked that series well enough, but they were buggy and felt half-finished with lots of unimplemented or poorly implemented features.  X-com has aged surprisingly well but after all these years I'd like something a little more modernized. Heck, It does not even have to be space aliens... as long as it's got the base management, R&D, overworld map and tactical combat it could be YET ANOTHER ww2 game and I'd be happy.

A good building/economic/exploration game. Something like patrician 2 except with more emphasis on building settlements and exploration, discovering more resources to exploit etc.  Light on the combat - if there is any, it should be mostly automated and largely out of your control. Bonus points if it's in space.

Why the hell isn't there a pirate roguelike yet?

[Grakelin]

There is, search around.

[Djohaal]

Simcity 5, and not dumbed down.

And outpost 3.

I wouldn't have brought it up if I hadn't already searched for it. The only roguelike with a focus on pirates is AarrrRL, and that's in development.

Though I'd love to be proven wrong.

When you say outpost 3, do you mean a sequel to outpost 2 or outpost 1?

you know this one?
it isn't about pirates, but it might just be close enough

This is gonna be a long one 

My dream game would be an entirely free form multi-genre game. With a procedurally generated universe, with thousands of professions, lots of races, lifelike AI, good graphics, complete simulation of creature anatomy, a detailed but easy to use editor for creating and customizing everything (similar to spore's but more complex and detailed), a complete simulation of ecosystems and creature life cycles, advanced physics and... Well everything

It would start like an MMO where you create your character. But it would not be just another hero. He/She would be a GOD. You would then learn how to play the game. And when you have learned the game. You would then have your god play a game console. (For joke's sake). And create another character, where you choose race, gender, etc. Then the actual game would start.

You would then choose where in the universe to start (Depending on where your race has colonized). And depending on where you start you would have access to different technology and may or may not be able to travel to space. Then when you start you can work a variety of jobs like: Soldier, Worker and various subtypes. Depending on what job you choose you would play different genres of games. A soldier would play an FPS, a worker would play something else and may end up being the boss, etc, etc, etc.

There are so many more features but i would end up writing a whole book if i wrote 'em all ... Sorry for the long post.

I want a game where people don't just stare at each other when you talk to them. I want them to be DYNAMIC.

If you idly talk to a janitor while he's mopping up a floor, he keeps mopping while you talk to him, pausing every once in awhile to think about something you've said.

If you talk to someone while he's walking, he doesn't just stop wherever he's doing to talk to you, you have to walk with him. Maybe if the conversation is particularly interested he'll stop outside the door he's supposed to enter he'll pause awhile outside before bidding you adieu.

IDK, I'm just tired of the constant death eye you get in most RPGs.

HL2 had some dynamic animations to go with conversations.

I have a few Ideas...

-- A warhammer 40k game, but not a company of heroes clone, or a squad based strategy game, a true to life interpretation of Warhammer Forty Fucking Thousand. You could have dynamic model painting and physics, with some of the fights acted out on the board.

-- Half life gosh damn episode three, I've waited too long for a game the third of the size of half life 2.

-- A new metroid game that continues the dame fusion storyline. I'm sick of the mid-quels and other M sucking. I want a game, dammit, follows through before you collapse nintendo.

Now that I think about it, do you think that when nintendo goes under, they'll sell off the original IPs?

I'd love to see a zelda game made by bethseda/black isles, or a metroid game made by 343 Industries/Bungie/Infinity Ward/Treyarch.

They are wasting a perfectly good story, aren't they.

A ROGUELIKE with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion level graphics.

Time only passes when your character is making an action, and you can make it go in slow-mo as well. Physics are precise to the pixel. Your character and other enemies have an intricate reflex system in which they can block or dodge attacks even as they make them.

Yeah, that's asking a bit much, but it would probably be one of the coolest games ever made.

graphics? realistic physics? blasphemy.

[MasterFancyPants]

graphics? realistic physics? blasphemy.

Especially now with the particles traveling faster than light and what not. We don't even understand real life physics anymore.   

[Duuvian]

Arcanum 2, as long as it didn't totally suck and be underfunded.

Arcanum 2, top view strategy and Fallout 3 mode toggleable. Perhaps make melee combat at least as good as Mount and Blade's and you'd have the PC game of the year if you used for example the shootiness of Fallout New Vegas in it as well.

Although please make things like people take damage realistically similarly to real life fireballs and bullets, by that I mean pretty easy to die or be incapacitated. Arcanum was one of the games with the most lost potential I have ever seen due to a total lack of balance and also bugginess.

Arcanum 1:
ogre: attacking with a rapier, hit with sword, hit with sword, hit with sword= bloody explosion

dwarf: spend hours checking trashbins in Tarant for lead pipes to cobble into a homemade pistol to sell to buy bullet making ingrediants, make 400 bullets...use four bullets to shoot machine gun once for even less than sword damage and run out after the third monster, switch to level one schematic sword since there is no balance

elf: use that one spell that you get at level one that does enough damage to be instant kill to almost everything while being really cheap, also explodes things in gore
