WireJacked - You may love them, or you may hate them, but I am sure that either way you have heard of them. They are some of the oldest video game clichés in history, and yet for some reason they just go on existing. Some are worse than others, but all have been around a long time and have certainly reached their expiration date. Here are 10 video game clichés that need to die.

Vanishing bodies are not a cliche, it's more of a techincal issue since having bodies that never went away would drain system resources needlessly.

Ocelot5255029d ago

but in tomb raider 1 & 2 and in deus ex the bodies never vanished and these are old games.

The problem is that in many games the bodies disappear ridiculous fast.

#7 "It doesn't matter how many enemies are on screen, how big they are, or what they are carrying. You can beat all of them with just your fists."

Thats why they use guns.

Ugh I hate those! Huge Turnoff.
Why can't every guy in videogames
be like chris from RE5.
He was perfect!

Why the hell does your avatar have Justin Bieber on it?

skip2mylou5029d ago

i dont think you really need to ask that

big_silky5029d ago

Maybe I'm just twisted but I hate that wrestling and boxing games won't let me beat someone to death. Isn't the cliche in sports games "realism"?

Fights on trains , a hero with a glowing arm

ATi_Elite5029d ago

Just another list that confirms you gotta play Half Life 2 or the Stalker series.

No cliches. help someone out in Stalker and they might turn around and rob you or not pay you.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk3d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast3d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk3d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk3d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
