I guess I kinda feel left out of this one because I play mostly strategy games like the Total War series where the big bad thing ends up being you as you conquer, rape, and pillage every last square mile of land.

Holy shit, the [evil thing] is Mantorok from Eternal Darkness! I love that game, it didn't have any love interests (besides the Karim bit, maybe, but she was incidental and technically wasn't captured) but it did pretty much play out this way.
Awww that's exagerrating way too much. Some people argue that everything whe produce today is not original and based on already existing things but I don't believe that... and why must original mean starting from zero with no reference to already existing things anyway? It's true that most stories show story archetypes or a combination of those. But you're making it look like there's only one of these archetypes. The headline should have been like... I dunno... 70% of games ever. It just doesn't feel as funny to me with this much exaggeration. Yeah I know exaggeration is commonly used to create a humerous effects, but I think you can go overboard with it.
Dead Space 3 fits these tropes pretty nicely, almost word for word, seriously, how come someone with a little common sense could wear such cleavage in the middle of a necromorph infestation?, especially after explicitly having experienced one before and barely making it out alive the last time and knowing ahead she WILL be working on a planet full of them. But dat cleavage...
Well, Mantorok was pretty much dead since the beginning, almost like a zombie giant octopus, but he definitely conspired against the other [evil things] and he's technically not an [evil thing], just a lesser [evil thing].k-ossuburb said:
If you got the "true" ending you'll find out that Mantorok is the most [evil thing] of all the [evil thing]s in that game becauseSupahGamuh said:
it's revealed at the end that he was manipulating everything so that every time you replayed the game to defeat the alternate gods who's story you didn't play the first time you were actually playing an alternate universe version of what happened at the same time as when you first started playing, meaning that in every parallel timeline they all killed each other and therefore cancel each other out. He simply combined all the timelines together and took over because, without them, he was able to reach his full power and bring on the Eternal Darkness that everyone was hinting at throughout the game (or at least that;s what was hinted at, to bad there wasn't a sequel, but I'm also kind of glad of it).
Ohhhh... then I understood it wrong all these years. Granted, it's been a LOOONG time since the last time I played Eternal Darkness, I got the 4th ending and I understood that:k-ossuburb said:
He manipulated everything from the shadows and I understood that he tricked the other gods into killing each other, but I didn't know he did that to take over, I though he did that so that he could exact revenge from what they did to him, so that he could die knowing he exacted revenge into them.
So yeah, that adds another layer into it's already awesome layer heavy and complex story of Eternal Darkness.

Bonus points for making the protagonist a generic-looking, white, brown-haired military guy who is apparently incapable of forming any facial expression other than a scowl.
I mean, hell, say what you will about Duke Nukem- at least he can smile.

But really, when was the last time someone hung the love interest over a tub of acid?
Well if anything it's at least a story that's easy to follow.

Ohh no, the fumes are making her breasts bigger said no straight man ever.
Now I must go beat some unimaginative bosses in wow.

I don't believe this is like every game ever; it's too colorful. Nothings washed out to look gray/brown!
nice job on [support character/love interest]'s funbags, though.

In fact, you should make it your avatar.
I'd mention that lately, the Formulaic Game Recipe has started to include Aesops. Like "Transhumanism makes us question our nature as humans" (Deus Ex: Human Revolution) or "Humans will do cray-cray stuff to other humans in the name of survival. Innit deep?" (FarCry 3).
Or you could go CryTek's route and not bother. "It's the Ceph's fault. Whatever it is, no matter if it makes sense or not, it's the Ceph's fault and the Nanosuit's involved. Also, boo, PMC's and global megacorps!"
