Worst Video Game Cliches

Final bosses who are wimpier than their minions.

Norman was the man. Max’ voice was Raphael’s voice IIRC.

lets be honest, you have some top tier bullshit magic that makes him irrevelant

Did anyone mention the “unwinable battle?” Seriously, fuck that. Just make it a cut scene. The one exception I’ll make to this is Disgaea. Seeing as it lets you do New Game + you can start the game over and eventually win the unwinable battle (Chrono Trigger too).

solo sneaking missions where the objective is more than reconnaissance

backtracking through the entire mathaf@#$kin stage! >:(

What like Sephiroth at the end of FF7? one on one face off. Omnislash. game over.[/details]

In no particular order
Zombies
Shoto Characters
QTE I like them but they are soooooooooooo over done now.
Androydgonous japanese teen heroes.
American Characters being douchebags in every single game.
Japanese heroes being stoic and boring in everygame.
Bitches who fight in stripper wear. I mean its hot but you wouldn’t fight crime/vampires/monsters in a damn two piece.

never played that game, but yeah similiar to that.

but you faggots need to stop leviling up to lv 99 when killing bosses.

it’s acceptable to throw away whole uneaten roast chickens or sides of beef and then acceptable to eat them off of the floor.
You find bags of money, gold bars and rubys in the rubbish

Every man gives a shit if his woman is kidnapped, surely in all the games out there not one ever thought " they done me a favor, bitch gave lousy head anyway"

It takes one bullet to destroy a plane

if you touch fire your whole body becomes engulfed in flames

Every chinese person is a martial arts expert, every russian has something to do with the military and has the personality of a brick

Fat people are strong

The bigger your tits the more promiscuous you are

Pretty much every video game character that isn’t a white, straight dude.

Oh did anyone mention rescue missions involving dumber than dog shit A.I.?

I’m trying to save you, and you want to stand there LIKE A GODDAMNED MORON! Ok, so you aren’t a highly trained soldier with godlike physical talents that’s being controlled by someone with an omniscient perspective… I get it, but don’t make my life more difficult.

Also within that same vein useless AI teammates. I can’t think of the games that this applies to, but anytime you have to fight with a computer controlled character they’re almost always completely useless even if they’re invincible. It’s literally like playing Tails on Sonic 2 with your feet. The AI plays like the annoying as fuck little kid you give the second controller to so he can just hit buttons and shut the fuck up. Next time this happens, sit back, relax, prop your feet up and watch the AI attempt to be useful. It’s a goddamned tragedy.

I remember they did this in ZOE2 with Anubis. From what I remember it wasn’t completely unwinable if you had skills, but they made it hard enough with Anubis’ tank health, godlike damage and evasion skills that you’d probably lose anyway.

I’d rather have my character look like a man rather than have him look like he just came from a goddamn Lady Gaga concert. How you “missing” the Blonde Hair, Blue eyes design? I don’t know anyone who liked them then, don’t know anyone who liked them now.

Reloading clips that are partially used, and retaining the bullets in the old one you just dropped.

how have you never played that game???

Oh Yu Yevin. i wanted to see his attacks, so I had to de-equip my entire party. Left counter attack on one character by accident, and he one shot Yu. Fuck that game.

*Not a cliche exactly but fuck long story driven games with no voiceovers (Im looking at you Nintendo)

Any FPS level where you are wandering through a big ship, navigating really narrow hallways, lots of really small rooms, opening a gazillion bulkheads, etc. until you have no idea which side of the ship you’re on.

that would be Boomer circa SOCOM Navy SEALs. Also Piers in Resident Evil 6.

Another cliche’:

the lead female villan is typically taller than lead male hero. and is far bustier than lead female.

characters in JRPGs. i am expected to believe that these males are strong due to their heavy weapons but honestly every npc should really be telling these characters "Bitch eat a fucking sandwhich "

i think jrpg lead males are intentionally made to be so androgynous to invite slash pairings

Underwater levels in general.
