Gaming tropes that you can't help but love

DMC?

The guy you thought was your friend was the real villain this whole time and you just helped him out

Absolute top tier webm and name

When the level design makes it so you travel along way, only to find a hidden door at the end takes you back to the start

This but they stopped the betrayal plan because you turn them around and joins you against the real big bad.

>Rockstar cutscene is still enjoyable despite the quest being a piece of shit, the situation being implausible if not altogether dumb, and the character you're supposed to do the quest for is a cartoon made by an idiot

i don't know how they do it but rockstar really are the best flimflam artists.

It's mostly that despite the shit writing, they still have god dialogue and acting that makes you invested in the characters.

>Return to home base
>It’s been destroyed in your absence

>opening song stat playing in acoustic

>Helicopter ride to place
>helicopter inevitably crashes and you end up stranded
It happens so often in military games I laugh my ass off whenever I see it again, and those rare instances where you actually land successfully are even better. It's hilariously absurd how common it's abused as a mission opener.

Now's one of those times where it pays to be the strong, silent type

>side character betrays you
>your tsundere brother is actually a cool guy
>Main antagonist from the first game is a playable character and a bro in a sequel

Any game that does it other than Dragon Quest (multiple games)?

>MC has amnesia

>main character from the first game shows up in the sequels
>he couldn't give less of a fuck about your quest and keeps on being a boss nigga

MC is dead

Every waterfall has a secret cave

Recurring total chump miniboss who gets angry when you beat him

First level is a raid at an arctic base “some time in the past”

Mech boss explodes when you beat it

>mission is to find the mcguffin and bring it back to the LZ for delivery
>Person at the LZ is ambushed so you have to deliver it yourself
>Person you were supposed to deliver it to went missing so you have to investigate where they went
>Person who had info about them has been murdered so you have to find out who killed them
>When you find out who killed them it turned out they committed suicide
>all you signed up to do was deliver to the fucking LZ

FFXIV off the top of my head. Souls games kiiiinda do this with Yurt and his clones. Diablo 3 does it in Act 2.

Mass Effect 2 does this too.

i wish more games locked you in a cell/prison where you actually needed to use your tact to escape it. 9/10 its some bullshit like "wait till the guard turns his back on your" or "press the highlighted switch to open a secret tunnel" or "be handed the key to the whole fucking clink by an insider". the first game i ever saw do this right was amnesia of all things, when youre locked in the cell while the funk grows around you. there were multiple ways to escape iirc which encouraged getting a little creative and using your natural intuition to escape.

"aw nigga dont hate me cause im beautiful nigga. maybe if you got rid of that old yeeyee ass haircut youd get some bitches on yo dick. or better yet, maybe tanisha'll call your dog ass if she stops fuckin with that brain surgeon or lawyer she fuckin with NIGGA~"

Dishonored, you lose your badass folding blade and have to use one of the shitty nail-filer looking swords the whaler assassins use. better yet, if you abstain from picking up a sword until the next mission, you can get one of those shitty mangled cleavers the bottlestreet gang have.

Yeah, it's something the sequels really dropped the ball on with their linear world designs and reliance on bonfire warping. In DaS1 there were so many times you feel overwhelmed by the world around you. No clue where you are, feeling so far away from a safe haven, and not knowing when you'll ever make it back out, only finally stumble upon a route that takes you back to firelink, flooding you with a feeling of relief.

Perfect example would be traveling down into lower undead burg, then down to the depths, then down to blighttown, and then all the way down to the very bottom of blighttown to the swamp. You feel crushed and suffocated your first time down there, never knowing if you'll ever make it back to the surface. And then it feels really fucking good when you find and unlock the shortcut up the conveyor belt that takes you back to firelink.

I just liked how you got to see Ezio slowly age over the course of AC2 from mission to mission.

I'm more annoyed that Skyrim seemingly retconned/forgot about Shivering Isles. Shame because its one of the best things Bethesda has ever produced.

man nature is fucking beautiful and cruel at the same time, why are humans the most boring of creatures

because they're the most familiar to you

how did it? Sheogorath in Skyrim's daedric quest is literally the Oblivion pc.

Somewhere in far space:
>omg wtf, you telling me they drink WATER? this diluting and corroding agent that destroys everything, they drink it? what hardcore fuckers, thats so badass. we only drink sulfur and silica here, so lame.

Tales of Xillia 2

That's a stupid trope and has been for a long time.

that would be interesting game where you could at the start of the game kill any NPC that would eventualy become the main boss and change the storyline completely

I always assumed those were post war and some raider or traveller thought it was funny and left them like that

>reliance on bonfire warping
This is extremely true.
I blame it partially on the decision to tie leveling up to an NPC at your hub world. It never feels as much like an adventure when you can pop back to a safe zone for headpats from your waifu at any point.
You always feel alone in DS1 at the beginning.
Anastacia doesn't care about you and can't talk, Crestfallen is apathetic to everything, and Petrus is just there in-between quests. You've got no one who cares about you.
I have no idea why they progressed from that model with Maiden in Black to DS1's, then backslid with Emerald Herald/Doll. Did they not realize how much better it was in DS1?

Yeah, she wasn't very kind about the way she went about it, but that's irrelevant. If a guy is grouchy and swears a bit when taking a bullet for someone else, I'm not going to complain.

Actually animals are pretty fucking smart. What's smarter, fighting this unknown animal that appears dangerous and possibly dying or at least being injured which would lead to death or not fighting and live another day?

That's it, you're both on the list.

They didn't, actually. They planned to have a level-up waifu in DaS but ran out of time. It was a fluke.
I think they finally realized with Sekiro, though it still lets you warp from the get-go.

See ducks and geese are quite nice if you befriend them. They usually like hanging out and staying chill with you.

But meet a stranger and it's all hiss and honks.

And even disregarding how it kills the mood, it's also bad just from a gameplay mechanic standpoint. Every time you want to level up or upgrade gear, you have to travel to the hub, talk to the firekeeper/smith, then travel back. That's two load screens plus time spent in the hub, whereas in DaS1 you just level up you/your gear and you're on your way. It keeps the pace up rather than bringing it to a screeching halt constantly.

This is particularly bad on consoles due to worse load times. I remember playing DaS2 on PS3 at release and being pissed every time I had to wait through 2 excruciating load screens to travel to majula and BEAR SEEK SEEK LEST with the emerald herald.

The fact that they didn't learn from DaS2's mistake and go back to DaS1's world design for 3 is beyond me. It really drives home the sad point that DaS1 was a mistake. I don't know how it happened, but somehow they only ended up creating DaS1's immersive and atmospheric metroid-style world design on accident. I can't think of any other explanation for why they've since dropped it, despite it being such a highly praised feature of the game.

They worked hard on that fight so u better fight it you little shit.

Also it would be really anticlimactic.

Would've been much cooler had the game scanned your drive for save data from either Dark Souls 1 or 2 and, if possible, set the Soul of Cinder to be whatever your last character to clear the game looked like, including all the same equipment. That's actually an idea I was hoping for back before DS2 released.

I wish I was this clever. Great job Carlos

Honestly the final dialogue confrontation with Saren was epic climactic enough on its own. If anything the whole LOL HUSK KITTY thing takes away from it. It would've been a much better conclusion had that not happened.

Darkest dungeon.

God I hope ss3 does something like this.

he makes several references to oblivion quests, and behaves differently from the original sheogorath.

I thought it was so cool how at the very end of SS2 the game world converts to look like SS1, including the dos-box-style graphics of the original. Real fuckin meta

>and behaves differently from the original sheogorath.
This. When I first played Skyrim and did the Sheo quest, I was disappointed that he didn't really look like or act like he did in Shivering Isles. Then I realized that was the Oblivion PC who became the new Sheo at the end, which probably explains the disparity. Still, would've been nice if he was as great during the Skyrim questline as he was in Oblivion
