My Favorite Gaming Tropes
I've been playing videogames since I was four years old, and have since fine-tuned my tastes into a razor's edge that I will now share with you here. Some of these are serious. Most of them probably aren't. But they'll be fun to build a compendium of, especially as I link specific tropes to specific games' pages.
- Games with Goop
- Games that are 25 hours or shorter
Note
Unless the loop is godlike, in which case they can be as long as they want.
- Getting the Band Back Together
- Time Skips
- Bonus points if the time skips include new outfits
- Whatever you'd call what Dante / Vergil, Mega Man / Zero, and Bayonetta / Jeanne have going on
- Limit Breaks
- The Power of Friendship being used to kill the Devil
- The Power of Friendship being used to kill God
- The main theme being used during the battle against the final boss
- Protagonist of game one showing up in game two as an ally
