[Akatosh3]

Realism = Brown, remember the more the better

Online multiplayer will always be bad as long as there is lag

Kids believe that voice chat is only to be used for being a retard

Death in videogames means nothing similar to actual death

Aliens always have some form of laser technology that is just as effective as traditional human weaponry in combat

Healthpacks heal you as soon as you touch them and can always heal you despite any injury you may have taken

A JRPG with a bad battle theme is a bad JRPG. (EXCEPTION: Chrono Trigger.)

 

[MetalMantheRevenge]

All Charcters can use/hack computers(including alien ones, and ones they've never seen) by pressing the same set of keys over and over.

Enemies NEVER reload, also they have infinte ammo. (Few exceptions)

Games and Movies will never work out together. (Movie based Games = Bad, Game based Movies = Bad)

All fighting games have at least one charcter with a projectile.

All end bosses are either push-overs or so fuckng hard, they'll make you break your screen (There is no middle ground), also bosses always have 2 or more forms.

In general
- If an object floats and glitters, it must be a collectible or power up.
- The Final Fantasy series taking a drastic change with games after X has been a mixed blessing.

Nintendo
- Despite Mario 2 originally not being a Mario game (in Japan atleast) it introduced a wider cast of enemies and even expanded existing characters abilities in the game's universe. (Luigi jumping higher/lesser traction than Mario, Peach floating, ect)
- Nintendo's outsourcing has mostly been positive with newly created and renewed IPs. (Paper Mario, Metroid Prime, M&L, Oracle of/Minish Cap)
- That there needs to be a new Star Fox game that is played in a traditional style.

 

[Raptorianxd]

-If one of the major enemies of the game is female, chances are she'll fall in love with you.
-If a character is extremely awesome, chances are he'll betray you.
-If All of your characters will be young(14-19), except for that one character who is 30, who relentlessly calls himself old.
-If you can't tell whether a character is a boy or a girl, chances are it's a androgynous male.
-If you start the level facing one way, ALWAYS turn around. There's something good behind you.

-Raptor, out.

OBJECTION! There have already been two. Sadly, all we got on Wii was Battle Revolution.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

When in a fighting game getting your enemy NPC to low health they then pull out all the stops rendering you into failsville.

NPC allies are virtually useless in most games these days only serving as scenery.

 

[EHKOS]

We cannot, under any circumstances, allow there to be another John Romero. The stakes are too high now, there's too much money involved in games, another John Romero would be cataclysmic.

It would mean the end of life itself.
