[General Discussion] Overused Gaming Conventions

Unless Lenneth's skirt is made out of silk mythril, that's still prone to wear and tear.

One convention struck me oddly was the fact that during cutscenes I was treated to one-hit blows by the heroes and heroines YET when you play the game it takes several hits for the enemy to take down. What's this God mode crap I'm seeing?

Why don't they just hit the enemy repeatedly and weaken them? God. Like Devil May Cry 3 for example, In the very first stage, Dante shoots and slashes all the demons in his wake IN ONE HIT yet when you control him it takes about 5-6 slashes and a full clip of bullets to take those demons down.

How ya doing, buddy?

Q: You remind me of Wyna from Thousand Arms whose armor was just.. er. Her armor was just a two-piece bikini. What?


Someone tell me how the hell she can survive cannon blasts in a fucking two-piece.

But yeah, I stick to what I've said before. One hit kills for the lose.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That sounds like a lacquer paint and a primer from Dutch Boy man.

Except for Dragon Quest VIII. Two turns. One can be a major blow attack that decreases over 3/4 HP then suddenly launch a group attack also 3/4.
