It's not a (insert series here) game without (insert nonsensical thing here)

[SomeUnregPunk]

The biggest game cliches have been covered.

It's not Metal Gear Solid unless the only few female characters have their shirts unbuttoned half way.

It's not "every fighting game known to man" have females dressed like drunk whores.
It's not an anime fighting game without the gender bender guy that looks like a hot chick.

It's not a Legend of Zelda game without the SPIN ATTACK soisoisoisoisoisoi

Its not Gears of War without a chainsaw attached to an assualt rifle.

 

[Manhattan2112]

Itn not Gears of War without a chainsaw attached to an assualt rifle.

I never got that. It seems impractical. I've even played GOW:2 and I saw how the chainsaw was attached. It looked like a fast way to get one's fingers sawed off.

It's not Zelda without a Triforce.

Not true. The Triforce wasn't mentioned in Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, the Oracle Series, Four Sword Adventures, or Minish Cap. ...or Twilight Princess come to think of it, they made references to it, but didn't actually refer to it as the Triforce.

The golden power. The refered to it in TP! It glowed on their hands for crying out loud!

It's not a metroid game without backtracking to some location you've never noticed before.

it's not a zelda game without a green hood

It's not a MMRORGP without leveling up, magic missiles, and an endless grind. Oh and 14 year olds spamming Chuck Norris jokes /shivers.

 

[DerekTheMagicDragun]

It's not a Fire Emblem game without someone killing the king, seizing the throne, and then trying to get the throne back.

[SomeUnregPunk]

its not a JRPG game without you being the "only one" that can save the world

[Hollock]

it's not a ratchet and clank game without a useless clank level.

[ae86gamer]

Its not a Grand Theft Auto game without dead hookers.

Its not a Mario game without the damn princess getting kidnapped... again.

 

[Last of the Chinchillas]

It's not a Smash Bros. game without Kirby being overpowered and owning the ever-loving shit out of everyone else!

 

[HentMas]

its not a JRPG game without you being the "only one" that can save the world

that's every rpg game....even the table top versions.

well... to be fair not all table top games are about you saving the world, hell, table top RPG´s are about anything you want, and i´m sure someone out there can find an RPG that revolves about anything else but saving the world

but in my experience with JRPG´s at least the hundreds i have played are about you having to save the world with at least other 2 guys

It's not a Legend of Zelda game without the SPIN ATTACK soisoisoisoisoisoi

Hold on, I have to find the Rooster Emblem hidden in the evidence locker to turn off the waterfall blocking the hidden doorway that leads to the secret facility containing the Tyrant Type-F that I have to kill with the rocket launcher I found in a Volkswagen Beetle parked outside so that I can pick-up the Pawn Key that unlocks the elevator to Sub Level A where I can find the Fuse that I can use to restore power to the maintenance tram system that will take me to the secondary facility--why the fuck does maintenance get their own tram anyway?--where I need to find the Blue, Yellow, and Red key cards which I'm sure involved those fucking Grey Tablets because why wouldn't it, and doing that of course will unlock the doors that will lead me to the storage facility, where I can get the Dual Golden Lugers that will trip the wall-mounted trap that lets me pass through to the Storage Shed where I can find the pesticide that I can use to kill the vines blocking the bridge across the chasm to Control Room B, where I can use the terminal to move the cameras and locate where the hell they left the Red Chicken Cross which I need obviously to unlock that one door that leads to the room with all those God damn Plaques, I think it's the Green Ivory Rat Plaque I need to unlock--no wait, that's the bathroom, I need the Yellow Tungsten Macaw Plaque to unlock the security blast doors that lead to the boat, where I can start my two hour ride across--GOD DAMN HUNTERS ON THE BOAT!--to the island facility where they keep the Tyrant Type-32Ts which I need to kill a couple of in order to get the Tyrant Blood Sample, which is needed by that one kinda wonky computer system to power up and produce a Tyrant Serum B which for some reason opens a door to the Briefing Room, where I can find God Damn Bats aplenty as well as the Beta Tape D-6 to play in the machine on sub level D of the main island facility after using the God damn heavy Red Valve Handle to lower the ladder that lets me climb to the surface where I can use the Surface Tram to--GOD DAMN LICKERS ON THE TRAM!--go back to the main facility where I can use the Fire Hose to put out a fire that's started in the Conference Room for some reason, which hides a block of C-4 how the fuck, which I can use to blow a hole in the wall to the Computer Terminal room because doors are for pussies, where I can use the Beta Tape to power up the terminal that will let me finish this post.

I just quoted this 'cause its epically win.

It's not Assasin's Creed without rambling bosses.
It's not Halo if you don't betray the marines.
It's not COD if people act mature.
It's not Gears of War without more testosterone than you're local high school football team.
It's not Halo if there isn't a chick nagging your ear off.
It's not Guitar Hero without people who think that it makes them look cool.
It's not a normal day on The Escapist if nobody yells about the search bar.
It's not the Sims without a room with no doors, a pool with no ladders, and lots of fire. Or is that just me?
