Get yourself a bowl
mix about a dozen of old idtech games (doom, wolf3d, quake) and half a dozen barrels of antichamber fucks-with-your-brain level design style (with the weird perspectives and geometry and whatnot), add a fun multiplayer and a level editor, mix in a way that is impervious to producers, and you have it.

What does "impervious to producers" even mean?

You do know that idtech games has producers meddling all over them right? Those games wouldnt be those games without producer meddling.

Sorry, I'm not really familiar with the corporate politics of game companies that had their heyday in the late 90s.

Few gamers even know about the meddling in games now-a-days unless a large number of them find it offensive, or someone points it out on a popular media outlet for them.

Anyway, a modern FPS thats... well, I'm going to HAVE to explain this.

Take science, magic, CS:GO, Elysium, Strike Witches (and other musume/mechsuit things), magic, TF2, and LSD. Lots of LSD.

You've got guns that have mystical abilities with runic carvings, special camos and attachments- in a Perplexicon style where you could get anything from the gun firing wood spears to bullet holes spawning evil hands of death.

You get armor, on your legs (improves movement), arms (aim and weapon control), body (health) or head (HUD improvements).

Each class has access to different types of weapons and equipment that can be bought seperately- since I'm tired I really can't explain this well at all

I've read Masters of Doom. Wolf 3D, Doom, etc. for the most part actually were made by only a handful of people. There were no "producers" to speak of in the early days of id. If anything, the more level-headed developers at id were probably what helped make the early games so good. Daikatana is what happened the instant nobody was around to slap John Romero on the wrist and say "No, that's not a good idea".

A game containing the main features of both VVVVVV and Braid.

Think about it.

I think my brain just broke a bit.

Not a game, but I want Guns of Icarus and Air Bucaneers to spawn a whole genre of ship fighting games.  Maybe with some in space and on the oceans.  We have some of those but its never really taken off.

[Graknorke]

A game in the Call of Duty franchise that isn't a 'spunkgargleweewee' game. I don't really care what genre it decides to be; RTS, RPG, rhythm; it's all good. Just something new and interesting. From CoD.

You mean Freespace 2 but with players controlling cruisers instead of fighter ships?

I want a vampire-themed MMO that doesn't take artistic liberties like how Moonlight Online and Forsaken World do with their vampire characters - that is to say that I don't want vampires that adapted to walk outside during the day (like in Moonlight Online) nor a mage class that happens to be called Vampire (like in Forsaken World) - but without the requirement of paying to play the game or having to have the most modern machine ever.

in b4 World of Darkness MUDs, character approval and fruity forced role-play can go fuck itself with a nine-iron.

I want an MMO where you can actually roleplay without prompting other players to hack you.

Can someone please post that story about the guys fucking up the RP game forum thing? That's pretty great. And relevant to two posts out of the past 5.

It's why I only ever play single player: It's the only chance you get to put some actual RP in G. That, and they don't require lots of grinding before getting to the good part.

Don't you know that these days RPG means having character attributes and classes like in D&D? Its like MMO. The name has nothing to do with the actual content.

[WillowLuman]

They all at least try to provide something to facilitate roleplaying, even if it's just some arbitrary choices. Single player games generally have more, though, and don't have a bunch of people broadcasting "gibbe moni plos" to break the illusion.
