Amnesia or revenge.
While those both can be done well, they're used so much that it just becomes a joke after a while.

I dont remember many Amnesia games, only the recent Amnesia (lol):The Dark Descent and XIII (both awesome games). Those are the only twoSu.zaku said:
Nukes. Nukes in general. I know that they are bad for people's health, so the PSA isn't necessary. In the end, it just gives an excuse for an unreasonably evil character to exist.
Just Cause 2 is the only one to pull it off, mainly because you ride on and hop between them.
Supersoliders, either as player character or as upgraded enemies. Can we please come up with an original enemy or at least a varition on this? Throw in some who have been injected with fly DNA so I can kill them with a newspaper while they fly around buzzing.
That and evil PMCs/backstabbing military factions. I swear they Pinky and Brain this stuff. "What are we going to do tonight evil CEO?" "The same thing we do in every video game unpayed inturn. Try to take over the world!"

Tom Clancy seems to have Alzheimer's, because every game he makes has the same story. I'm playing through HAWX2, and I don't even watch the cutscenes, because I already *know* whats going on. New ghost recon looks sweet though. Probably same story however.
PS Sorry if I offended anyone with the alzheimers comment, its a horrible disease to live with.

Prototype wasn't about a PMC, Blackwatch were a Government Black Ops organisation. The plot was more like an NSA-type organisation using New York for bio-weapon testing and sending the marines in as cannon fodder. I actually found Prototype's plot substantially more interesting than the "standard" GOW/COD style.TehIrishSoap said:
Any plot where you are the only fucking person who could possibly save the world, even though your character is pretty much average at best. Pretty much Mass Effect 1 & 2. Not that they're bad games, just that aspect of the plot pisses me off.
You are the last of your kind. Aliens are invading earth. Use your superhuman awesomeness to single handedly win the war.
So over marines (both space and the other less advanced guys), that and the bad guy 99% of the time been your commanding officer betraying you and YOU always have to fix it
I dunno... one plot I'm noticing more and more is the following;
The evil empire of the forces of badness is attacking. Rally your forces and bring them down! Except, the evil empire of the forces of badness were not the big bad of the game! There is something far badder and meaner and your conflict has inadvertently released it!
A common variant is that you remove the evil empire and have a terrorist cell or group of cultists planning to unleash the Big Bad from the start.
I gotta admit, it's been getting old for a long time now.
