Gaming Wishes for 2011

Now that we are staring into the dark void of no game releases for the next couple of weeks, I felt like pondering what things and features you guys would like to see more (or less of) in video games this year. I'll start this off with a few of mine.

1. Please for the love of god, please cut down the amount of games this years with zombies in them. Sure they a fun generic enemy, but after the insane amount of games last year that featured them in some form, I think we all need a break from the brain muchers this year.

2. Please more new IP's this year.
2010 was filled with sequels though there were a few standout new IP's like Alan Wake and Enslaved. I'd like to see more big developers take a bold step out of their comfort zones and try something different.

3. If you make DLC for your game, and have new achievements for it, don't allow it to go on the marketplace until the achievements are up on the xbox servers. It makes all the grinding worthless when you realise that they don't count, and you have to recover your gamertag and do them all over again. Same thing for broken achievement too.

Here's a few to get you started, now tell me your gaming wishes!

My gaming wish is for Mass Effect 3 to actually master resource gathering (if there is any in it). I almost wanted to kill myself from boredom going from system to system and scanning each planet for 2 minutes. Also I wish they would give back some of the customization from Mass Effect 1 in terms of inventory.

I'll agree with that zombies thing. There were too many zombie games last year. The only one I'm buying this year is Dead Space 2.

And this may sound a bit drastic, but how about announcing some plans for new systems? Personally, I've had a 360 since it came out. I kinda want something else on my bookshelf next to my TV that isn't a big black plastic box. I'm not saying that it needs to come out this year or even next year, but plans for the next generation of consoles would be nice to hear. I mainly talked about the 360 here because Microsoft's current gen console came out first, so I'm sort of expecting them to release theirs first since they've had about 6 years to plan out their next gen console.

My main problem with the transition to the next gen of consoles is unlike any previous generation, we have access to a huge library of games within XBLM and all the games downloaded onto the system.

If we move to the next console, they'd better let you transfer all that content to the next gen, or else you'd be buying the same catalogue all over again.

I will have to agree on more customization in ME3, but not near what ME1's was. I don't want 100 of the same weapon with slightly better or worse stats.

I don't know.

I wish for a new IP to catch my interest the same way Halo did. I'm not leaving Halo, not for a while, but I still want to branch out.

PORTAL 2!!!!!!!!!!!

I concur with the announcement of the next gen. Despite the fact that gaming technology should be progressing at a faster rate, this generation has gone on extremely long.

Well, personally I'd like to see 3D gaming being utilized more, and for the Kinect to-

lol, just kidding

Mass Effect 3 to be epic beyond comprehension, and a sequel to be announced for Alan Wake.

I'm not gonna lie, I disagree.

The sooner the next gen consoles get announced, the sooner I have to buy them.

especially since this current gen, unlike other generations of consoles, has the ability to be upgraded. no need to spend 400 dollars on a new one any time soon

I want Doom IV

All I want is for Skyrim and Portal 2 to be amazing, And for there not to be another CoD game released for atleast a year...

I couldn't care less about weather or not there are more new IPs because I'm not going to waste me money buying them no matter how good they are, unless it is made by like a good company like Valve. Buying games from new IPs is generally a major rip off, no matter how good they are reviewed/rated or advertised.
If it was good there will be a sequel.

But Ukurse, most companies will just keep going with 10 gazillion sequels that don't change anything. Reach and ODST really didn't NEED to happen with Halo. If a game actually NEEDS a sequel, such as Mass Effect, then there will be a sequel.

A trash collection simulator.
