You are so like ... cliched. :D

[keepithowitis]

games that have an objective.

Also, games, especially, well, exclusively recently that have some sort of good living deal going on (i.e. Renegade/Paragon, Light Side/Dark Side, Good Karma/Bad Karma). Especially.. ESPECIALLY.. when it has nothing to do with anything besides the game's outcome.

Hey folks, let us talk about videogame cliches here. Post one you know and let us see how many are there.

If possible, also post in which genre of videogaming this cliched can be best seen in, a game for an example would also be great.

Let us start then:

The Amnesia at the start of the game, only to realize, he is the hero to save his world from impending doom at the end of the game cliche.

Genre: RPG and some FPS

Example: Can't think of any.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (depending on if you're light side or dark side).

realism is another one. for example, real world guns or rag doll physics.

I also hate that. It's fun when it affects the world -- and your character's interactions within it, such as the good/bad systems in Fallout3, Mass Effect. But I hate when it ONLY affects the ending, and especially when it kind of ruins the ending -- like in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, or in Bioshock. Developers need to stick to one narrative throughout instead of trying to please everybody all at once.



My all-time favorite though is DOUBLE JUMP!

Ah, the double jump! How did we forget the double jump!?
Instant winner.

I forgive Double Jump because in Spiderman 2 Bruce Campbell tells you to ignore the fact that it defies all laws of physics and just do it.

^That's funny. I also love in The Simpsons Game when Homer sometimes says "Jump, Double JUMP" when leaping.

Of course! jumping off of thin air is so possible, I mean the scout from TF2 can do it, why can't we?
