The first would be to fix the stupid checkpoint system. That wouldn't be a bad thing in general, but the second would be the option to toss the existing PC FPS "Health Meter" and get friendly with the health system from CoD4 and Halo 3 and other games where you don't have to go find a health pack so you can keep playing instead of dealing with cruddy hunts for healthpacks. Heaven only knows the amount of time I had to head back a bit to find a health pack in FEAR on my 360, just so I could get past some big nasty thing that wanted to eat my face with a machinegun.

I totally forgot about this one and what a bother it is. One thing worse that this is when they give you the option the quicksave and quickload and you die and you're still falling to the ground and you think you hit quickload except you hit quicksave and you keep reloading to you falling to your death. ...it's happened a few times...

That was always the end of me, and they were just tacked on stupidness. GTA: All those missions with the remote control cars, planes and helicoptors!

I am the type that loves to constantly save, it's a great thing. When playing the Half-Life series, I save after every little fight, and when my health and suit are maxed. I'm also playing Lost Odyssey right now, and while it's a great game, I hate how they throw you into these long and tiring dungeons with no save point in sight. It's frustrating. YES!

Seriously, I dont know if they removed character customization in number5, but that killed it for me, I liked spending ages in #4 messing around with my character and trying out different weapons, but number6 restricts you to certain boring characters, also lack of saving on that game, all of the battles end up taking hours with numerous points onf death in between. I havn't touched that since my Birthday. Dead Rising, as mentioned before was one I rented for about a week, and took back on the 1st day. That's how horrible it was. Dynasty warriors 6.

That was definitely a game where you needed lots of saves, a quicksave, and patience. Oh, and funny you all should be talking about Dead Rising, I'm really loving that game right now. It's fun, and for me, the time limit and saves are manageable, if slightly taxing. Nothing as annoying as Halo 3's method of saving (as Jason mentions above).

I'm guessing I found it more enjoyable like that, by alot. Then again, I can put on cheats and love the fights more than the scary moments. The expansion pack has way more of them. But if you do get through, you should know that the end section is rather... well, you'll see. As for anything I wanted and never finished, there's nothing. Lucky me. :) Yay for the fact that my PC can play FEAR, and I can save anywhere to keep whatever insane situations I end up with.
