Personally it has to be the almost compulsory addition of a fire or ice level of some description...

The gamer who moves his hands along with the controller (i.e. "steering" in Mario Kart 64). It happens, to both my grandparents and some good gamers who just do it for some reason (*shrug*)... however, I feel like I've been slapped in the face whenever I see some "typical gamer" portrayed in a movie as falling over his couch as he turns a corner.
I do infact know the meaning of the word stereotype.Kukul said:
an unvarying form or pattern; specif., a fixed or conventional notion or conception, as of a person, group, idea, etc., held by a number of people, and allowing for no individuality, critical judgment, etc.
Do you know the meaning of the word? Obviously not. You're just picking fault in nothing.
I second that he's a bastard but I think that this deffintion is suitable. Go back to school or something kids.xmetatr0nx said:
That all FPS's are the same...drives me nuts...the same with all RPG's and JRPG's which really should just be one category
people saying "Black guy must die first." in L4D, annoying but hilarious to watch some ten year old playing Louis run straight at a Witch/Tank just so he can die first, even funnier when he's votekicked for it.
Heh like how driving is portrayed in films. Driving down a straight road and swinging the steering wheel around all over the place. i agree though this is annoying.AstorSapolsky said:
Just stop the arguing and change the word from "stereotype" to "cliche" and let's be on with our lives, eh? haha
The black guy usually being unneccessarily gung-ho or smart-mouthed at the very least.
And yes, the exact definition of stereotype doesn't make a difference seeing as how we're already saying what repetition in video games bothers us.

Oh I thought of another one: That the protagonist has to have some important reason to be saving the world/killing aliens/trying to survive, and although it fills out the plot a little, it doesn't really add anything to the game. Can't they just be killing aliens because they enjoy it?
it's an unvarying form in many games, eg Mario making it a stereotype of this game. Just because I wasn't specific, doesn't mean that I do not know the meaning of the word. If we're getting picky however, you mistyped unvarying. Now you can go cry yourself to sleep over making a mistake that you would infact flame others for.Kukul said:
