5 Respuestas#8 always bugged me. As someone who made a living shooting guns, it has been such a pet peeve of mine. Like do I have an invisible squire that's picking up my half empty mags and using the leftovers to load up a full mag for me...? I'd like to see a game that gives you the same incentive you have in real life to see a magazine through to the last round. Or maybe just make your character stop being so undisciplined and put the mag back in your kit and you just get to use half empty mags because you're a reload-happy window licker.

Somebody is kidnapped Murder thousands of people in pursuit of finding that one person

Going into a thousand year old ancient tomb or temple and finding fresh potatoes or ammo.

2 RespuestasEditado por DeusFever: 4/8/2016 3:08:41 PMHard to find a clichés or trope you didn't mention. [quote]1. Red barrels explode[/quote]This is a tired mechanic that must be retired forever. Pretty sure Matt Hazard lampooned exploding barrels years ago. 9. [quote]In stealth games guards forget you killed there buddy 15 seconds after hiding.[/quote]It's not a bug, it's a feature. [quote]12.bad guy decides to taunt the protagonist instead of killing him, letting the protagonist react and survive.[/quote]I also like how guards will actively search for you and taunt you, when they should be wetting their pants. [quote]16. Main ability in trailers for new games get unlocked half way through the game.[/quote]Worse are the abilities and guns that get unlocked on the last mission. Why even bother. [quote]19. Protagonist being mute for no reason at all.[/quote]Dialogue is expensive. [quote]20. Melee sometimes does more damage than your gun.[/quote]"Sometimes" as in almost all the time. [quote]23. Turrets and vehicles have UNLIMITED AMMO!!!!!!!![/quote]All the enemies have unlimited ammo, so this seems fair. [quote]28. Kill many enemies who are just doinng there job to get to the main evil boss guy only to not kill him because morals.[/quote]If you never witnessed all those deaths at your own hands, you'd never understand why killing was bad. It's just bad luck for that last goon that you didn't learn that lesson one kill sooner. I'm going to add to the list the following: 32. Enemies gain levels as you gain levels, so you never get stronger. 33. Women in combat are always snipers. 34. The military makes you buy your own weapons, no matter how much is at stake. 35. You can't use enemy weapons because reasons. 36. You can push around enormous trucks but street signs are immovable. 37. Enemies have telescopic X-ray vision. They can also cross map with any gun. 38. The leader of the bad guys always speaks via public address system. 39. Everyone records their thoughts as audio, and leaves the audio for anyone to find.

It makes it worse when enemies seem to have infinite ammo but when you kill them they only drop like 5 rounds. WHY?!

Conveniently placed chest high walls![/quote] [quote]Hey look, a lot of ammo! ...and health packs... ...and a save-there's a boss fight coming up.[/quote] [quote]You can make complicated pieces of equipment from scraps in the woods...in 4.5 seconds.[/quote]

Aliens trying to take over the world. Enemies don't care about your presence if your far enough away, even when they can see you. Can't do simple tasks like jump in some games *cough* Division *cough* Lack of ladders and stairs in old school games. Had to jump from platform to another

Currency can be found literally everywhere..even animals carry some cash. Presumably for the kibble vendors I haven't found yet.

The Antagonist is superior in every way, but a dumbass coincidence saves your life and you win the battle. The a enemy [url=https://youtu.be/lEq0oV21tHI]stop shooting at you for no reason[/url] during a cutscene for no apparent reason.

Jet packs, what the actual hell is with jet packs. I'm not whining, they're really cool and all, but they're starting to become an over saturated idea...
