Video Game Cliches

Postby megamario126 » November 21st, 2009, 5:29 pm

There's lots of them. Some of them are:

Spikes
Lava
Water
Explosions
Power-Ups
Bad guy who does the same scheme over & over again
Sidekick

And the list goes on. Does anyone else know something that has appeared in many video games?

One Liners. A CRAAAAAAAPPPPPPLOAAAAAD of One Liners.


Oh, and by the way, those are all qualities of a Mario Game.

But Water, Spikes, Lava, and explosions are a natural part of any game, it's like saying a Cliche part of a FPS is the gun.

THE CREED: Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted.
"...That's rather cynical."

"It would be if it were doctrine, but it is merely an observation of the nature of reality.
To say that Nothing is True is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shephards of our own civilization.
To say that Everything is Permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with the consequences, whether glorious...or tragic."
-Ezio Auditore da Firenze explaining the Creed, 1514, Masayaf.
