Hey fellas, list some cliches you have spotted while playing video games. Just because they're cliches, it doesn't mean they're bad, just repetitive. tongue.gif

Here are some of mine:
- Key character to plot is usually male.
- Collect all of the crystals/objects and become almighty or something...
- Most playable characters are teenagers.
- Evil bad guy wanting to rule/destroy the world for no apparent motive.
- Female main characters falling in love with the male main characters (or vice-versa).
- Plots that describe some sort of war or conflict ranging from 100 to 1,000+ years ago.
- Male main characters use swords.
- Female main characters DON'T use swords.
- Evil empires that love greed.
- Everyone starts off at Level 1 in the beginning.
- Females are weaker in attack/defense compared to males, but they can instead have stronger magic than anyone else.
- Female characters with provocative or obscene clothing.
- If someone requests [Key Item], head to a nearby cavern and FIGHT the guardian of the [Key Item] because they own it.

Wonderful examples of primitive human stupidity:
