Video Game Cliches

[scatmanfan]

Okay, so my last post didn't go over so well. Who cares? What I want to know this time is: what do you think is one of the biggest gaming cliches? In my opinion: Either red ones go faster, or the double jump.

You run faster with a knife.

You are the only person who can save the day. Everyone else is just a liability.

 

[MawnLower]

Your ride out of here esplodes.

Italians are apparently concerned with one of two things; honor or pasta...... oh wait that one would apply anywhere, um......that it never pays to drive like a sane person, in any game.

Super indestructible bad-ass enemies with one glowing weak-point.

 

[zachbob2]

Red barrels = Explosion

The dam clitches in most of the call of duty games online, getting killed and watching the kill cam to ee someone under the map picking your bits of isnt as fun as it sounds.

I'm not sure if this counts as a cliche' for gaming or just fictional writing in general but, how come in the post-apocalypse world where theres no more civilization or industry and yet somehow there is an abundance of firearms and ammunition everywhere? There's more bullets and guns then there are food and water and while I'm on the subject, how come in most games your character can go for days without food or rest? You would have died of starvation or exhaustion or dehydration before you'd die from bullets and bombs.

If theres one cliche' developers need to grow out of it's that one. They started to a little bit with titles like Bioshock (although it's hard to believe year old potato chips are still edible, but what the hell twinkies can survive a nuclear holocaust, so why not?). I guess what I want is games that don't have these cliche's anymore.

When I get tired of gaming cliches, I try to start living my life again. That said, once you have started looking at your life, you can simply realize that you was better of playing video games XD

Well that's true for you (I guess)

If you ever find new awesome weapon and a good amount of ammo, save. There is a boss around that corner.

And all guards are inept beyond belief.

If it takes place in Eastern Europe, the Middle East or the United States; there would be more bullets than food.

I don't know about you but if I knew the buy behind me had a knife I would run faster.

Shooting games always including guns.

...but seriously, I'd have to say games where you can destroy buildings and the like, but trees are completely invulnerable to everything.

One word:
Amnesia

 

[jacobschndr]

It was a joke... D:
