It's totally true, though, and you know it. I laughed at "Women have breasts. Get over it," but not at the barrel one... Because I'd already read it once before!hal said:

Men have muscles. Get over it.
(BTW, I'm a heterosexual female.)
How about "SMASHING crates"!
They should have used something like "Sexism/Gender stereotypes in games" (and that includes the laughable E3 shows and the like). And it should have been put at number 1, because it's exactly what I consider most annoying about the gaming industry at the moment.

Uh, well, it's not only an annoying aspect of the gaming industry, but in the end, that's what we're talking about here, I think. Or at least it's slightly closer to the topic
Yup!TossMonkey said:Yes because no other entertainment industry has cliche's.
Seriously, I said what I said because I've noticed that the whole controversy about how women are portrayed in games is often riddled with double standards and hypocrisy. That's all.
How about "Males wearing armour are built like tanks, females wearing armour wear just enough to cover their.... selves.... and then leave their legs, arms, stomachs and upper chests wide open and exposed."
Let's stop talking about how men and women are portrayed in games, and let's talk about CRATES!
Interesting read, but that site's dated (the original "Deus Ex" wasn't out yet when that was written, for one thing). Oh well... (*BOOKMARKS*)
And speaking of crates...how 'bout SHOOTING crates?! [||]
*CALMS DOWN*
Rating games by how soon you encounter a crate? Hooo boy...SquirrelZero said:

Interesting gametype.
(I don't like that brickfloor graphic at the top of the page that stays put while you scroll the rest of the page, though...rather obtrusive. )
Try "Mafia".
The sad part: it's the same night you meet the chick too.
It is kind of a strange subject, the film theory that there are only 6 or 7 basic story lines could probably be applied easily. But then, there's not excuse for the barrels...

How's about cliches related to specific genres? Awhile back, I read a list of cliches in most console RPGs...I'm not in the mood to find the link, though.
Ooooooor, how's about cliches related to specific game SERIES? For example, every "Resident Evil" game (that I know of) ends with a timed explosion ("The self-destruct system has been activated...").
