Unto the Fray we go

As far as I'm concerned it's only a cliche if it isn't done right, it's just slapped in or it doesn't make sense canonically.

Health recharge is a big cliche popularized by Halo 2, but it makes sense in the canon of Halo to have regenerating shields and no health bar, as the suit has medical equipment built in.

The whole "I'm Rambo" thing is a big cliche in more than just games....

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

Despite the fact that nine times out of ten the player character can mow through the enemies that kill whoever is sacrificing themself.

Oh, you've saved up all your ammo, gernades, and have a power weapon? Better take away all your stuff and give you crappy guns.

It's a'me, Sesto

Somehow most games start out with the character your playing as having some sort of amnesia, as everything needs to be explained by the NPCs
