Would you play a game of Clich?s?

[Alistor]

OK, so I've been watching a lot of movies recently, and i just watched Epic Movie. Then I decided to re-watch the scary movie series, and I got to thinking.

Who would play Epic Game? A game that used every imaginable cliche, and made fun of every aspect of RPG gaming? If i get good responses, I might actually try to make this game. I have a good idea for the main characters name as well...

What would BWRPG be without being a giant video game parody?
So ofcourse I would play one. As long as it doesn't rival my game.

Making games based on cliches has become somewhat of a cliche itself.

cliches are fun - but now the cliche theme is becoming cliche, as kaze just said.

unless it was original in it's use - by punning the living hell out of the cliche itself, i'd find it tedious if it was just cliche after cliche after cliche after load screen after cliche after cut scene after cliche after.... game over

i'd honestly rather watch/play something semi original, or in the pretense of originality.
scary movie was cliche, i mean i still think the naked gun movies are original in mechanics, but scary movie was as cliche as those it spoofed.

Games that base themselves entirely on being funny suck. People have different senses of humor, so it's a great way to ensure that some people will hate your game.

Sure, satire's fun if done right.

If it was funny. Just putting cliches together isnt. Epic movie kind of sucked balls and most of the people I know agree. Scary movie 1 was funny at the time but then it slowly went downhill. Execution is the key for everything.

For the record, scary movie 1 was ok, good even if you're a bit "away" if you get what I'm sayin', but to compare it to an actual classic, it falls into nothingness.

Also, whether I'd actually play it, depends on how it is presented. The content will leave a good bunch to desire anyway BECAUSE it is a parody, so you'll have to rely on presentation and humour a LOT. And as DZ mentioned so nicely;
