What are some video game cliches you actually really like?
Cute girls doing cute things.
the guy with the most video games hates sex
Mustache twirling villains. If the writers are aware that the villain is ridiculous, and go way overboard with it, it can be really fun.

What is it about her that makes her so ugly? I can't put my finger on it
>Main character has multiple fights with his rival throughout the game
Final level name is the game title.
Final boss's theme is a remix of the main theme.
Game's title is mentioned in the game.
>>336368952
bosses that come in pairs and use moves that compliment each other
bonus points if they combine at some point, like if one of them dies first or if there's scripted to combine at a certain damage threshold, I prefer the former especially when they power up in different ways depending on who you kill first

Having a loyal bro character that never even so much as steps on your toes.

the rival is better than you

Basically the entire Naruto concept. Being a hero to protect the people you love no matter the odds and always getting back up. I love it when they go all out with it and its well writen (which never happens)

adding one more:
>bosses that can fuck with your inputs or otherwise mess with GUI elements, like him noticing his health bar, then he grabs it and stretches it to make it longer, giving him more health
tragic villians
its so much better when the antagonist has reason to be 'evil' (re: opposed to protag) rather than trying to become god then going mad and wanting to destroy everything for like, no reason.
also I guess themed locations, you don't get mushroom forests, well engineered temple mazes, and void fragment spaces in reality, and those are fun to explore, or be challenged by.
solo boss fights also but idk if thats a cliche or a casual detector.
>beat the giant "final boss"
>real final boss comes out, it's a rival duel with something the same size as you
>>336373762
it's not a boss but there's one enemy in metroid prime 2 that fucks with your HUD when it hits you with a specific attack, I always thought that was cool, even the whole rebooting sequence
snow/jungle/desert/space levels
I just like a variety of locations to explore.

>good people are very pure-hearted and bad people are pure evil
Fuck your grey world shit, if i wanted to see how even nice people could be assholes i'd go outside
