What do you think every game in a genre should have?

Personally, i think...

Every RPG needs some kind of a New Game+ option.

Every FPS needs multiplayer with bots.

Every RTS needs a grouping system.

Every FPS (not FPS adventures necessarily though, like Metroid prime) needs a MP component, and IMO it should be the focus of the game.

Every RPG needs CUSTOMIZATION and EXPLORATION. This gen that seems to be lacking :(

Every Adventure needs a good variety of enironments (see ocarina of time), unlike games like oblivion.

Ever hack and slash needs to make you feel so frikkin powerful and cool as that seems to be the point to me haha.

Every FPS shooter needs offline multiplayer, bot multiplayer, and yes multiplayer needs to be the focus...MAG for example...

Every generation of Platformers needs one quirky platforming game...(examples from the past, Ape Escape and Conker's Bad Fur Day)

Every RPG battle style should either be like Final Fantasy X or XII (Now I'm just pushing it here lol)

Every Racing Game needs offline multiplayer (I'm looking at you Motorstorm)

Every FPS needs lean options and aim down sights. Every RTS needs balanced factions.

Every RPG should have some roles for the players to play.

Every RTS should have mainly strategic gameplay elements happening in real time.

Every FPS should have a camera that allows u to view the action from 1st person perspective and shoot stuff.

Every MMO should have a massive number of users multiplaying online.

i agree with everything you said, except that statement. FPS imo, should either be only singleplayer or multiplayer because if you focus on both, both sides suffer. also i prefer singleplayer to multiplayer in most games.

I agree with your opening statement of "Every RPG should have a New Game +" feature.

Also, every FPS should have a decent sniper rifle.

RTS means Real Time Strategy, Starcraft is a good example of a RTS.

Every RPG should have rich enemies something that many WRPG does not have.

Every FPS should have rich enemies something that CoD does not have.

Every RTS should have single map with new challange and not just destory enemy base.

I think every fighting game should have a single player "Vs" option. Like pick character, pick an oponant and stage, then fight. Many do, many don't. But they all should.

Every racing game should totally have ofline multiplayer, I was very shocked recently to discover that some don't.So shouldshooters.

Every FPS needs watermelons for some reason. Every RPG needs a good story. Hack and Slash needs to have a beast looking weapon. MMO's need to have a good community.

Both FPS and RPG need character customization and a free-running system of some! :D
