Video Game Talk's Video Game Cliché Game
Alright. Here's how you play. Name a game cliché.
The next person then names three different games where this occurs. You can't name two games in the same series or a remake of the same game. If you're stuck at one or two, name them so someone can finish. That person can then select the next cliché.
I'll start off with a very easy one:
In an RPG, one of the first enemies you face is a rat.

Re: Video Game Talk's Video Game Cliché Game
Wouldn't technically ANY video game based on "the big three of comics*" count?
* = Batman (murdered), Superman (Krypton exploded), Spider-man (killed on a mission working as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents when he was an infant)
All three had their parents die at a young age.....
I'm thinking the original intent was to leave out licensed titles & characters however....

Tales of Symphonia, Mass Effect (one of Captain Shepards background options anyway), FFVIII? (maybe, I don't remember the story so well)
Next, easy one. Despite being too young to buy a beer, and not having any obvious genetic enhancements, the onus is on you to save the world.

Zelda
FFVIII
can you use ones that were mentioned above already??
If so, this one should be really easy.
Starting out the game really stacked with powers etc only to lose them almost right away.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
I imagine one of the Leisure Suit Larry games would work too.
Remember, once someone names one (or two), you only need to name enough to complete the three. And it's OK to repeat answers/series, just not for the same question.

I think in GoW you get "experience" orbs. Whatever those are called that allows you to upgrade your weapons.
I don't recall their being health or magic orbs there.
Anybody have a problem with Zelda II?
