Memory Lost.
How many fucking games start with your character not knowing who their are, how they got there or what they were doing?

Crystals. Somehow crystals have magical powers that can save the world or channel unbelievably powerful magic. Substitute crystals for gems if you want. Any shiny rock suffices.

You can't save the world without a shiny rock.

WWII. More overused than war in general. by definition, OVER used would mean that it has become stale to the point that it can't be made new/interesting.

Good points, all of them. But still: War. Definietly. And not just because many of the other themes can be boiled down to it.

"The bad guys loses" like somewhere around 98% of video games are about the good guys winning.

Zombies. Seriously fuck zombies. Also can we please stop with the games about Aliens invading earth? Thats so old! Why can't we go invade some other planet that is in another galaxy because they were threatening our toilet paper supply. Something like that I would play. Lets just stop with the whole "Earth is destroyed due to zombies and Aliens".

Killzone 2 and 3 do this...minus the toilet paper thing.

Wait, did you seriously put Minotaurs on the poll? I can't remember because no one was stupid enough to vote for it.

I mean....minotaurs?

OT: Generic medieval/fantasy settings in RPGs. As Yahtzee said at some point, when a fantasy setting has become generic and commonplace, something has gone wrong.

FPS games?

But seriously, I'd have to say HUDs. They're always in the way and sometimes only provide you with semi-important info that doesn't need to be in your face the whole time. I like what Dead Space does, implementing the HUD into the game. That, I approve of.

Pandering. Tired of that. The driving desire to make a buck ruins so many things.
