Game cliches that have got to go

Stealth levels in games that are not built around stealth. The only games to get it right are based around stealth, like the Splinter Cell and Metal Gear games. Even great games like Wind Waker and GTA SA have had their fun temporarily ruined by half-ass stealth missions. After the success of MGS I wasn't surprised to find it in other games, but it's been six years, and bad stealth is still showing it's half-assed face.
 
"Gasp! You mean the shadowy government figure/four-star general/samurai shogun who was giving me my orders this whole time IS ACTUALLY BEHIND THIS WHOLE THING? WHAH?!"

Hey, if you give ME an AK-47 or a rocket lancher, chances are, I'm not thinking about a good ol 'sneak and snap'... but I know what you mean... MGS 2 was basically my bloodbath... I played it strictly to see how far I could get with killing, rather than being evasive.

Offtopic, for the longest I thought the sidle in WW was mispelled for the longest until another game used it...
 
I hate the tutorial type levels that familarize you with the controls. I especially hate when you cant skip them. It works better if they introduce stuff as you need to use it kind of how GTA SA does it

Yep, Japanese RPGs with Metrosexual, angst-filled teenagers who, be it due to a star-shaped scar on their left buttock or just good breeding, are the 'Chosen Ones'. It is time to make a Japanese RPG in which Mary, the driver's license photo woman down at the DMV, is the Chosen One.
 
Lame endings and lame boss battles. You sit through hours of Fable only to beat Mr. Jack with no problem and get that lame ending. How about winning something from the designers. Something that adds to replay like the bandana in Metal Gear Solid.

Lame boss battles with repetitive formula. Jump here dodge here. Hit after he does this.

Booooo

Any "impossible" battles in RPGs,

Any machine will start working the second you put the spare part in.

The fact that in shooters you're always "the last one in the army" or the "only one who can stop" the evil space/pirate Empire.
