Strong male protagonist saving weak female protagonist. (not just physically, you know, just helpless captive women being saved by male protagonists)
I mean, I don't value strong men over strong women in games but it is the case just way to freaking often.
Why can't there be a love interest story in a game where both partners are really fucking kickass? Instead of always a strong male and a weak female, or a strong female and a comic relief based male? I think having both of them kick major ass would be pretty awesome, and a breath of fresh air.

I'm going to have to assume that you are not yet aquainted to the Warhammer 40k orcs.
Take a look at them and tell me once again that all aliens are shiny.
I dare you.
I sorta liked burning down the wife and molesting the house better.
Made me smile.

Anything that moves.MOST bisexuals aren't THAT promiscuous.
Most, I have to remind my self though.

The [insert something here] cliche.
It's so trite that instead of looking witty you end up looking like a tool.

I love it when a villain pulls off a truly scary evil laugh, of sheer joy and madness.
For me, I hate the typical-anime styling of "woman is sexy, male comments on how sexy said woman is, man needs new teeth".
I mean, it's what improves the experience of Cowboy Bebop, that cliche not being in there.
"Oh my God Faye, you're so HAWT!"
"Kiyaaaa PERVERT!" *Slap*
Never seen an episode of Cowboy Bebop like that and I hope never to.

I hate the basis for virtually every game on the market:
- Somebody got kidnapped and we have to save them.
- Somebody went nuts and we have to save humanity from certain destruction.

At the risk of summoning a paradox, I hate cliches about cliches. Oh, there are some in there if you look hard enough.
Really? That's quite interesting. Do you then, therefore, avoid cliches like the plague?El Zoof said:
My most hated cliche is that, if there is a clear most-important male character and a most-important female character, the two of them will almost always hook up by the end of the movie/game/whatever. Is it not possible, in any reasonable characterization, that the male and female lead just don't like each other romantically?
The type of drama that belongs in soap operas.
More specifically, love triangles between two guys and a girl (or what have you) or two best friends who end up on opposite sides trying to kill each other.
IE: Naruto, Fushigi Yuugi and other various games and series I couldn't be bothered to finish.

I really get sick of two gender cliches in particular:
1: The male superhero who has a terrified normal girlfriend who is in a constant state of worry, maybe once we can have this roles in reverse.
2: I really hate stories where it's the guy who screws up in a relationship and has to win back the girl, why can't this be in reverse sometimes too?

"It's quiet (pause), too quiet" or similar.
Can't a day ever be peaceful?
Got something in your ear?
Most of the time it's just as quiet as it was 30 seconds before.
I mean, a game\movie where the speaker has just come from some sort of shootout I can understand, but they say it at times you'd expect it to be peaceful. Thinking of "Transporter" right before his house is destroyed.

Yeah, that's what I mean, why do they have to come to us. Seriously, most of these settings are in the future, so what's wrong with us being more advanced, but them being almost infinite or something.MBergman said:
