Absolute cinema

 

[Sonny Bonds]

When a boss fight is so epic that the battle theme is a song with lyrics.

 

[Hersh]

that 1 random special opponent that is bigger and stronger than even the boss of the game.. but can encounter him just over half way into the game

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

When the main character dies or gets replaced midway into the game, even temporarily

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

arting the game with an OP character with all abilities unlocked to give you an idea of how strong your character can be if you put in the time.

This is a good one

Lowkey, I kinda like when Bosses or enemies got moves/spells so awesome that you can't help but be impressed even if it ruins your run, as long as it isn't entirely unfair or cheap.​

Non level locked games where you can go anywhere and do anything as soon as it starts.

Had me out here battling Guardians with 3 hearts in my draws in BOTW

When you get an early boss that one hits you and you’re supposed to die but on new game + you can actually kill them

 

[Sghost597]

Boss fights that your supposed to lose and you got them down to a sliver of heath... Then, the cutscene kicks... Like "Homie chill you supposed to lose"

Boss fights that your supposed to lose and you got them down to a sliver of heath... Then, the cutscene kicks... Like "Homie chill you supposed to lose"

Or you're supposed to beat the boss, but in the cutscene after, they show you losing to the boss. I hate when games do that, like they want you to beat the boss, but in the cutscene after, they show your group losing to them. Like, why even make you fight to beat the boss in the first place?You see that tropes in a lot of JRPGs .

When a boss fight is so epic that the battle theme is a song with lyrics.

Some tropes I dig:

- Starting the game with an OP character with all abilities unlocked to give you an idea of how strong your character can be if you put in the time.

Yeah Black Myth Wukong did this Started out the game with all abilities maxed out to fight against Erlang

Yeah Black Myth Wukong did this Started out the game with all abilities maxed out to fight against Erlang

That's exactly the first game that I was thinking of. I was thinking about how the trope's been around since SNES graphics with Mega Man X, and still works today with Black Myth Wukong.

 

[Days of Future Piff]

Water levels having the most relaxing music

 

[feelosofer]

Starting as a humble dung slinger to hero of legend
