Fight the Cliché – The Battle-Hardened Space-Marine
(… in power-armour)
Hmm… I’m not sure if this is going to be a series or just some random posts.
The idea is, I’m going to take some random videogame cliché and I’m going to beat it over the head with a baby seal until it’s dead. I’m going to explore ways of overcoming the clichés and their advantages (clichés exist for a reason. They’re good, but way overused.) Sure nobody’ll ever read this, but it’s good to get some rants out of my system.
The Battle-Hardened Space-Marine
If we’re talking videogame clichés, none are so prolific as The Battle-Hardened Space-Marine. I mean… crates come close, but we’ll come to those another time.
