I hate the fact that in half of all FPS games the main character is mute, faceless and with nonexistent personality.
It doesn't enhance the immersion, it kills it.
And I hate when characters utter overused and cheap lines, like "It ends here!". Makes the game sound like a simple B movie.

Well, that depends on the game. It certainly makes sense for GoW that the front line soldiers would be well built, but should ALL of them be freakishly well built? At least one of the characters could be smaller, faster, smarter etc. and with out ending up being a huge puss... Baird doesn't countIron Mal said:
He doesn't have to be nice, geeky or even somewhat normal. That's not that interesting. Doesn't even have to be a he. Just enough with the duke nukem wannabes!
I'm bored with the whole "Ug, you soldier, you have big arms, you make bad guy dead" scenario. I wanna play a civilian who's struggling to survive through out one of these alien invasions...
instead of taking on hundreds of them, you'd have to be smart to take down even one of them. Use whatever you could find etc...
or maybe play as a koopa instead of mario, struggling to provide for your family... enlisting in the koopa army to make ends meet. You promised billy a new shell, and you'll be damned if you're gonna let another christmas go down the tubes.
I just think there are more interesting ways to approach these kinds of games than making the main character essentially a big sack of muscles with an angry face and a gun who can withstand 40 some odd bullets before his eyes turn red and he has to sit down for a second.
Maybe we don't need any more space marine games!
1. the predictable love interest
2. the predictable good guy turns out to be evil and killed your father
3. the sewer level
4. games/movies that have sex scenes/scantily clad girls cos they know itll attract 12yr old gamers with holes in their pockets (thank you yahtzee). it makes it embarresing to play good games/watch good movies cos you look... you know. strange

Another cliche, that makes me furious, is when in horror shooters your partner always says :"Hey, even though there are dozens of creatures creeping around and trying to rip our heads off, let's split up!" And if the game is a FPS, your character won't even try to protest, because he, most likely, will be mute!
The regenerating health, the inevitable betrayal from your ally/superior and the forced stealth section.
