1. A time log: let me see how many hours I've wasted on a game

2. cutscene playback: cutscenes should be able to be played back at any time once you've unlocked them

3. save anywhere: I'm tired of being a slave to checkpoints, and the vast majority of pc games already have this

I agree with one and two. With cutscenes, I reckon that if you accidentally hit a key when they are playing, they shouldn't skip. It should ask you if you really want to skip the cutscene. With three, I think having checkpoints adds extra skill to the game, rather then save-spamming every kill you do (if it's a shooter or action game).

Useful mini maps. Especially for FPS and most action games. Most RPGs already employ this.

Close to no load times. I know this is an ideal, but it would be nice regardless.

god of war has no loading times, almost :lol:

that game is real genius in development, best graphics and no slowing down while butchering 15 enemies and no loadings except some ( 3 or 4 times happened i think ( i beat gow2 just yesterday ) 10 seconds loading text, so yes i say there is none because this is exceptional)

anyway, i would want your first and second options definitely, and;

to be able load the game without resetting!

small save files! ( it really gets bigger with so many games )

when my character walks on edge if he falls he should grab the edge to not fall to die ( some games still dont have this...)

splitscreen for any racing game!

these come to my mind for now

I know it's a console feature,but every console should have the hold option like psp,you know you pause a game turn the console off,and after few hours you turn the console back on and play from the same moment.

1. Able to walk/step anywhere, not just on paths or roads.

2. Able to move the camera 360 degrees using the right analog stick.

3. Able to save anytime anywhere.

Bots for offline multiplayer

Splitscreen co-op in all games with co-op

A cover system that stays in first person, something along the lines of R6 vegas's cover system only it stays in first person which would make it much more realistic and make you play the game online much more tactically

Skip cut scene option. I don't like having to sit through something I've already seen if I don't feel like watching it again.

Ability to skip cutscenes. And, difficulty sliders in the options.

Wow I can't believe I didn't think of that one. I had some friends over who wanted to play CoD4 online with me, but there wasn't any split screen online multiplayer as you said.
