Basically what’s a game that you’ve played that seemed so mind blowingly unique at the time but for one reason or another the game never took off and other developers didn’t pick up and run with it either.

Letting you rob houses in free roam, build muscle and fat by eating food and working out, leveling up gun skill to the point where you can duel wield had guns onc you reach max level, the gang respect system and gang territory in GTA San Andreas

It boogles my mind how non of that was in any GTA after there's a reason many including me considering San Andreas the best in the whole franchise

pushing a ball around as it collects things and gets bigger while an eclectic genre defying soundtrack makes you question if you're having an acid trip or not.

Powerglove game. That one where you grabbed balls and threw them at the screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9RDzIibJeI

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, a free class based shooter where one team had to do various objectives to get to the end of the map, and side objectives could give you an edge. An engineer would use a resource bar to restore a bridge, the enemy could place Dynamite and hold control to blow it up and set them back.

Others could sabotage of take over the enemy outpost for quicker resource generation which translated to more healing, ammo, airstrikes etc.

Nowadays it's all death match or point capture with no skirmishing over a larger area at all. Shooters are bland as heck.
