>angels are the bad guys while demons are the good
ITT: Dumb vidya tropes

It's called "betraying expectations" and it's a legitimate writing tactic.
It's just that it's easy to execute poorly.
Lincoln Lee
I think the thing is that once its been done so many times it's more a cliche'
Jonathan Myers
>Humanity is evil and racist and industry is bad
>It should learn something from the nature loving savages who live in trees and have achieved fuck all in their entire history
Its so bad some fags think this even applies to reality
Tyler Jenkins
>forced stealth missions in an action game
>forced action sequences in a stealth fame
Nathan Cook
>stealth mission
>instant lose if you get seen
Jack Bailey
Who is this whore you've posted
Thomas Anderson
>It's called "betraying expectations"
What expectations? Everyone expects that to happen since they do it so often. The number of games where the church is actually the good guys is infinitesimal compared to the one where the church is the bad guys. I wonder why so many video game writers write like 15 years olds who've just discovered that morality is subjective.
Jason Campbell
>He doesn't know
Robert Nelson
Based
Jonathan Evans
Elves really should just be exterminated
Jeremiah Hughes
looks like shakeshake girl
Daniel Allen
Ever wondered why depression only got as rampant as it is right now after the industrial era and especially in modern times?
Industry is indeed bad and only made our lives worse overall
John Foster
>Sci-fi game
>Everyone speaks English
>Currency is called "credits"
>Vehicles with wheels are still used
Camden Adams
True
Asher Richardson
>Party member betrays you because they immediately believed whatever garbage the bad guy told them, despite having every reason not to trust them
>Everything's fine afterwards, and they're still in the party
Aiden Ortiz
shakespeare didn't write anime you fucking mongoloid
Dylan Jackson
>Big monster/animal appears
>It lets out a loud roar/growl
How fucking original.
Christian Sullivan
Because the ideology that morality isn't subjective and the church is the good guys is still dominant.
Cooper Reyes
Japanese writing is retarded, I'm surprised they don't get postmodern about tropes like this as some mangaka are even wising up to that shit.
Ryan Clark
>No! You can't kill this villain who's killed numerous people including your friends, family and/or loved ones or else you'll be just like him! There must be another way
Henry Rodriguez
I think he means Marina Liteyears.
Robert Gutierrez
>beat giant monster, about to deliver the death blow
>suddenly little baby monster comes out and blocks your path
>spare giant monster
Have these writers ever stopped to think that once the babies grow up, that just means there's 5 more giant monsters?
Gabriel Lee
>game gives you the option to kill them anyway
Sebastian Powell
>game pulls this trope
>villain gets killed by a falling obstacle literally seconds after the MC spares him
Anthony Young
Does it ever bite them in the ass though?
That said
>beat giant monster
>about to deliver the death blow
>it stands up, jumps back and dies on its feet
>it was feeding its cubs all along
>those cubs were dead for a long time already and it never knew
Dominic Evans
Seems like the new japanese trope is
>final boss is a mech
I've seen it like 5 times in the last 3 years now
Jack Peterson
>Vehicles with wheels are still used
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Even if we have hover technology, people are still going to use wheels for most vehicles because its cheap and effective.
Jordan Thomas
if God is almighty why does he let the world suffer then?
Adrian Lee
Its so overdone that its basically now expected.
Sebastian Cox
>Vehicles with wheels are still used
You say that like hover tech isn't common in Sci fi either.
Tyler Gonzalez
>Everyone speaks English
its not that bad if the game treats it right
maybe the humans are a master species that forced every other species to speak English or maybe humans are the only species that exist as far as they know
Tyler Perry
>you have to save the main girl even though she's a lot stronger than you
Andrew Bell
Not that many games portray them as strictly good or evil.
Brandon Reed
>angels are the bad guys
>demons are also the bad guys
Dominic Perry
get back to work wagie
Robert Edwards
Its a test for heaven, the true final destination
Kayden Peterson
>final boss is a conscious mech made out of hatred that's piloted by your evil father who's basically Hitler and the conscious mech is also an interdimensional celtic god
Landon Kelly
>true final destination
even for blacks?
Ayden Powell
>nazis are the bad guys
Tyler Scott
as long as they behave
Chase Anderson
Wew, based and redpilled.
Brandon Allen
>there are multiple languages
>everyone knows galactic basic anyway
What’s the fucking point
Lucas Ross
Good vista trope:
>angels are the bad guys.
>demons are the bad guys.
>humans actually have their shit together so both sides fucking hate them.
Daniel Bennett
because it makes sense for a bunch of cultures to have different languages but speak only one language to prevent confusion
its not rocket science
Robert Murphy
>game takes place in a medieval fantasy society
>multiple romantic interests
>main character is either a royal, a leader, or just your typical harem protagonist
>lol you can only pick one girl to fug
Cooper Evans
>demons are the good guys
>angels are the good guys
>humans are the good guys
>everyone is good
>no one is fighting
Eli Green
>if you murder someone you're somehow not a murderer on the same level as them
Leo Lewis
Elves are the opposite though?
>More advanced culturally and magically
>Human derp savages waving their dicks around ruining everything
Grayson Johnson
>Food heals you
Noah Nelson
rip thread
Justin Green
>Killing someone who murdered thousands of innocent people is somehow as moral as murdering thousands of innocent people
Matthew Lee
>RPG
>can't buy revival items
>have to go to a church or hospital
Jackson Perez
>depression is bad, we should have cholera instead
Evan Mitchell
>power of friendship gives you a power boost
>the game is over if the main character gets KO'd but party is alive
>plot has a sad middle part like some shitty movie
>new enemies are old enemies with paint
Nicholas Davis
And that's the way it should stay
Tyler Gonzalez
Why does he need to test though? Isn't he almighty and perfect? A test is something used to determine something you're uncertain about, so does god not know shit about his own creations? What a retard Christians choose to worship lmao.
Chase Young
psychiatry is an arm of the state and mental illness is just another way to keep the unemployement numbers artificially down
Jaxon Long
you sound like a faggot elf
Lincoln Howard
Would you trust the entities that humans can't even comprehend the physical form of, ready and willing to deal out both life and death at the whim of an apathetic God that is totally willing to genocide just to make people prove their faith to him? And would you trust the betrayer and the legions that punish others eternally for their sins as a 24/7 job?
The only true path is Neutral while fucking their waifus
Leo Rogers
Why?
Ryder Nguyen
>elvish """culture"""
Evan Peterson
Jealous monkey detected. Humans are to elves what niggers are to humans.
Kevin Smith
Morality must be understood to be objective even if it cannot be proven to be so, otherwise it loses all motivational force. It becomes useless. The church are the good guys because they're a major force in keeping an objective standard of morality. They also keep people from pointless, unproductive nihilism and motivate people to be more altruistic.
Thomas Powell
>suddenly new enemies
>old enemies back you up to take them on
actually nah that's never not been hype
