top down 2d combat....out the window with that..lol HEY DEVS.. make me a game, I'll give you the specs here:
1) immersive 3d, the very best
2) first person all the way, make me feel I'm really there
3)good pve action make it seem hard to get ahead
4) make pvp unnecessary, make enough enemys of varying toughness for every taste
5)ship, lots of ships, to be bought traded or captured
6) planetary action as well,give me the choice to fight in space, or land and take a day off sitting around the lake drinking beer
7)character to character immersion as well, no drop down boxes, make things voice controlled and activated, let the characters talk to you instead (by voice controlled I do not mean ships, just actions with people)
8)rep based interaction, make rep important enough that those if experience and a good rep get things that are higher up the technology level those that dont EARN things dont get them no shortcuts
9) open sandbox after the storyline, if the universe is still there that is
10)politics in game, rules against monopolies of trade, max numbers of stations allowed in an area, payoffs to politicians that sometimes backfires and costs you for illegal bribes..etc make it a world where the game needs a warning saying :"This is not reality, go eat something and get some sleep" Maybe have a nice little captains cabin where my character automatically goes and lays down after hours and hours of play, until I leave the game and come back, after getting something to eat or a good nights sleep..lol THAT'S a serious game world.:lol:
