Which game has the most stereotypical story/characters this gen.?

shooters where the russians/naz's are the enemy. why can't it be the opposite? or why not like asian enemies? theres a lot of talk of noth korea these days, so it would be fun to see the enemy(I can think of crysis and warhead that has korean enemies but thats it). And the fact I was mad that china wasn't playable in EndWar but russia,Europe, and the US are. l

I don't get it. How is Uncharted stereotypical? mrmusicman247

Super Mario Brothers, I surprised no one has tried a lawsuit yet.Fightingfan

Gears of war, and Uncharted.

Is it only me or almost everybody is confusing generic with stereotype? Also, I think punch out has to have the most stereotypical characters.

Every shooter except Bioshock and a very few others come to mind. No aliens, beefed up guys or enemies bent on destroying the world just for fun here.

halo and master chief. I'm being serious. If you disagree with me than youre a fanboy.

World is at the brink of destruction from an alien race (go figure) and a space marine (wow, big surprise there) has to save humanity (sounds like every other sci fi plot that is out in the market).

Master Chief doesnt even talk for christ sakes. (Which---and i will stress--- adds zerocharacter development... which is vital for a greatstory

Half Life has a great story and Freeman doesn't say a word.

Why don't you tell us what you think?

Oops,sorry for that,I've never posted an opinion of mine on a thread created by me but okay. I'd pick Killzone 2 for it's incredibly shallow story and characters,the story is so bad it doesn't have a purpose except being an excuse for shooting up aliens.

How in the world is Mario generic? How many other Italian plumbers are there in games? Mario is probably one of the LEAST generic video game characters to date.

"of, applicable to, or referring to all the members of a genus, class, group, or kind; general."

Mario defined the third and fourth generation, and there were many many other games of the same genre that looked to capitalise on Nintendo's success with him. Sonic, Rayman, Crash Bandicoot - how many platforming mascots for various companies were there in those days?

Mario and Sonic, they were the representations of that class of characters - hence, generic.

Im using the term in its literal, actual sense, not in the System Wars sense of "generic means average and crap".

Master Chief isn't a marine, and he talks. "Master Chief" isn't even a marine rank. You've never played any Halo game, have you?

Maybe he was thinking of a Space Marine...... Because he is ridiculously simmilar to a 40k marine

he's a lot closer to Iron Man if anything. a color change and the only thing off is the helmet.

but he definitely isn't a marine, so that's off whatever agenda.

Star Ocean 4. Terrible story and terrible characters that are all cliche and stereotypical.

I just really hate that game :P
