Videogames Deadly Sins - 3

21. Being a bad God of War (GOW) ripoff
22. silly sidegames which have nothing to do with the story or the general mood of the game (Cloud doing snowboard or Squall catching chocobos) [thanks Eren for the suggestion!]
23. sudden spike of difficulty which forces you to go back and level up more just to lenghten playing-time(all MMORPG's and Final Fantasy XII) [thanks Eren for the suggestion!]
24. making a sequel using the formulae 'just more of the previous one, with more graphics but less charm and player-involvement' (too many to count)
25. making a movie out of a game, which will have nothing to do with it
[thanks Eren for the suggestion!]
