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.
 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. --------------------
