I've made a challenge to myself, months ago, to make two games based on this list. One wherein all cliches are used at least once, and one wherein none are broken. It will take a while, though. One day, though. One day.

I thought of this while reading through the list. I've seen the list before but it's been a while. Nice share.

The thing is, how do you make a game that doesn't have a teenage hero? It's impossible!

Grafikal · February 06, 2011, 02:57:52 AM

Mmm. No it's not.

It's really not.

But of course...
Allow me to edit that post...

Grafikal · February 06, 2011, 03:22:38 AM

Very well, sir.

Zylos · February 06, 2011, 04:12:19 AM

Grafikal's already struggling to be nice.

Like Graf said, I think most of us have already seen that list, but I don't think anyone's ever posted it here for the people who haven't, so it's still good.

Pokey · February 06, 2011, 06:22:17 AM

i think there are more like these
but where they are i am not sure of...

Case and point: Vengeance lets you choose a face, and the most popular so far are the older looking ones. And the black ones.

Eternal Crystal Tales of the Magic Fantasy Dragon

pacdiggity · February 06, 2011, 07:37:16 AM

Wasn't that NAMKCOR's title? I would play that game just to see how many of these it uses.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time

Can you get any worse as a title?

Pokey · February 06, 2011, 10:43:08 AM

its possible

Crystals of the Dragon Empire's Eternal Vengeance - Part I: Attack of the Banishing Fantasy Fiends from Hell

Pokey · February 06, 2011, 11:13:42 AM

i told you so

pacdiggity · February 06, 2011, 11:17:00 AM

That's the title of my terrible game now. The non-cliche one;

Sterrance

the main character is Sterrance and he is 32 and lives in a modern city. Nothing happens. Cliches are good when used well.
