Video Game Cliches

[DivineRevival]

1. The heroes village always gets destroyed.

2. Every shop keeper in the game has infinite gold, even the smallest shops have 9,000,000 gold to buy the magical enchanted 3 shot kill everything in the game that you beat 90% of the game for.

3. One man army, too over used, nuff said.

4. Even if you have a squad, they're content with doing nothing while you go rushing into the insanely large group of enemies while they sit there.

5. Boss fights, different looks, do more damage, and have more HP. That's it. You just shoot then until they die. Just like the other 90 monsters in the game.

6. Food, and candy bars heal injuries -.-

7. At the end, of almost every game, you end up saving the world from darkness and evil or destruction.

8. You always get separated from your squad mates / regimen /team some how.

9. You're ALWAYS the point man.

10. You're always getting detoured from your objective by the most ridiculous things. (Way is blocked by 3 foot high crates, door is locked, earth quake suddenly happens and the ceiling collapses over the door when you're 2 feet away from it, "OMFG 2 MANY ENEMIES (Looks around and see's 3 enemies blocking the door when you just slaughtered hundreds of enemies in the last level, your character takes a detour because he doesn't want to take on a couple more enemies)

11. The heroes girlfriend, wife, family, relative gets taken away and supposedly gets kill, you find out they're alive in the middle of the game

12. The heroes mode of transport ( Ship, car, whatever) explodes RIGHT AFTER he get's away from it.

13. When you get you get shot 4 times in the chest, kicked in the face, get cut by a freaking chainsaw wielded by a 9 foot zombie thing, and get shotgun blasted to the face, and you have 1 hp, you still function correctly like you're health. When you get 0 hp, you suddenly drop dead.

14. You can carry 5+ weapons at once, several health packs, 4 grenades, and have armor and ammunition with you without it slowing down your movement, and can survive a shotgun blast, but fail to step over a 2 foot barrier that's stopping you from your objective.

Post yours here =D

Done!

The double jump - most video game characters like defying physics on a day-to-day basis.

Feminine looking heroes - this only really applys to JRPGS.

Platforming - Fustrating platforming gameplay is ensured in most games.

Pointless gimmicy bullshit - Moving statues on pressure pads to open the door, getting x code from y place and locked doors all fall under this catagory.

That's true.

But god of war 1 still kicked major ass.

The blonde haired white guy wearing an american flag draped around his body with spiky hair running around screaming "YEAHHHHHHHHH! YEAHHHHHHHHHHH! YEAHHHHHHHHHH!" and being cocky.

This made me lawl *Thinks about Baird*

[Inxanity]

1: The main character sometimes never speak,but somehow communicates with others with a nod of the head or a yes or a no.

2: Women's breast defy the laws of gravity. Dead or Alive women. Ivy from Soulcalibur >>

3:The Main character pimps almost all girls in the game.( Persona 3 )

4:Sephiroth will own most of the people who play a game with him in it.

Your number 10 is so so correct, I mean you will kill thousands of monsters then there will be 3 that look exactly the same as u just killed and now u cannot get em....
Also the double jump was a great one.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. * You mow through thousands of enemies with ease*. * You spot an enemy group consisting of 5 that you could easily kill in two seconds* But NOOOOOOOOOO, It's safer if we go the 5 miles AROUND them. Shit...

[DivineRevival]

The other great one, is in almost every game where you cannot jump, if there is a step that is more then to your knee you cannot go past it, yet behind it is a huge pile of gold, or a weapon on the wall that looks perddy.

Lothia, sent 2 more messages to you, red hunter, he needs to stop spamming me. It's getting rather damn annoying and I'm not harassing him or shit.

[Mr. First Name Basis]

Little known fact: most video game characters jump without bending their knees. Try it: You won't go above 3 inches... There are a few games however where characters actually over bend their knees and end up not getting very high in the air at all.

At the beginning of your 'death defying quest' Some guide like person is always willing to give you basic items so you don't get totally owned out of the gate.

When fighting a boss he either gets easier to kill near the end or harder to kill. He never is consistent.

You complete some sort of training program in the beginning and after completing it, you get thrown into an environment which is easier than the training...

The boob defense: The less armor female warriors wear the more defense they have. Conversely the more armor males wear the better protected they are.

LAWL, epic win.

[wwenbo]

I think tvtropes.org has every single one any one ever came up with.

[kain222]

No matter how hard you read, there will allways be aspects of the game you didnt know would exist untill you bumped into them.

if the main character doesnt have an freaky hair style then its not a Jrpg.

If the main character isnt a fenimine looking man who allways reveals his chest all the time, then its not a Jrpg.

Physics do not exist in Jrpgs, boobs too big to not weigh the girls down with real physics, HUGE, AND I MEAN MOTHER****ING HUGE swords that are swung around like knifes and, ironicly in some cases, you can never jump outside of battle yet some of the specail moves have jumps that soar like, 100 meters into the mother****ing air.

Full plate enchanted by gimpy elves from ages long past have nothing on a string bikini.
