Line 18:
[[Sister Trope|Sister Tropes]] are: [[Bile Fascination]], [[Play the Game Skip the Story]], [[Preview Piggybacking]], [[Watch It for the Meme]], [[Excuse Plot]], [[Developing Doomed Characters]].
Compare [[I Read It for the Articles]], [[Complacent Gaming Syndrome]], [[Black Sheep Hit]], [[Estrogen Brigade]], [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]], and [[Come for the X, Stay
{{examples}}
Line 30:
* ''[[Happiness]]'' is an anime that was originally a [[Visual Novel]]. Most agree it's a fairly mediocre high school drama with a really generic magic system attached. It doesn't matter though, because nearly everyone watches it to see [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Jun]], who steals [[Ensemble Darkhorse|every]] single scene he's in.
* Lesser example; ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'': Just here for the [[Ax Crazy]] [[Yandere]] [[Pantheon|Goddess]].
* It seems like a lot of fans watch ''[[Mai-HiME]]'' for Shizuru and Natsuki (be them [[Ensemble Darkhorse|individually]] or [[Fan-Preferred Couple|together]]). Thankfully it's usually [[Come for the X, Stay
* Some people watch ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' simply for the unique giant robot battles.
** Other people watch it just for [[Emotionless Girl|Rei]] and [[Tsundere|Asuka]].
Line 43:
* How many fans of ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' actually have read or watched a majority of the series? You're in here for the fandom, [[Ho Yay]], and the fact the series is based upon [[Bishonen]] and Bishojo personified masses of land.
** Other fans watch it for the history, though. Though they still probably haven't read the majority of the comic and are really just looking for [[Fanfic Fuel]].
* A lot of ''[[Wandering Son]]'' fans who began with the anime came for either the [[Scenery Porn]] or the realistic representation of [[
* The ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Tenth Anniversary Movie]]'' we all know you don't care about the plot, you're just there to see [[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yami]], [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|Jaden/Judai]], and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Yusei]] dueling together
Line 109:
* The sole reason to watch ''[[Gone in Sixty Seconds]]'' (1974) is the [[Chase Scene]] that makes up the second half of the movie.
* German Neo-Nazis often bought tickets for ''[[American History X]]'' just to see the violence scenes during the first ten minutes. After that, they left the cinema again.
* The first album by [[Procol Harum]] includes a song titled "Salad Days (Are Here Again)", and the track listing on the back cover says that this song is "From The Film 'Separation'". ''Separation'' is an obscure [[Le Film Artistique|art film]] which remained unavailable for a long time after its initial (limited) theatrical run in 1968, leaving Procol Harum fans wondering what it was like. In 2009, the film was released on video for the first time, and thus many of those watching it are Just Here For Procol Harum (though maybe [[Come for the X, Stay
* There is only [[Stuff Blowing Up|one thing]] that many people find any [[Michael Bay]] film worth watching for.
* In ''[[Monsters Ball]]'', Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton do [[This and That]]. You'll be hard pressed to find out what else happened second hand.
Line 314:
* Many play ''[[Sim City]]'' just for the disasters. Since monster attacks have been one such disaster, including one in Tokyo in [[The Sixties]], this is a literal invocation of this trope.
** For its sister series ''[[The Sims]]'' people often play it either to just kill people in horrible ways, make their Sims miserable, or to make their character [[Really Get Around]].
* Chances are that niche games which happened to include game demos for more popular products count here. ''[[Zone of the Enders]]'' with its ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' demo, most definitely (though ''ZOE'' managed to find its audience with ''2nd Runner''), and to a less successful extent, ''Tobal No. 1'' with its demo for ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.
* [[Tim Schafer]] was aggravated when he was playing his game [[Brutal Legend]] online, only to find a player send him a message "surrendur plz," which meant the player was just trying to trade wins for achievements without trying to play. [[Tim Schafer]] tweeted "surrender plz? SURRENDUR PLZ? Is that what I go online for? To be asked to surrendur plz at my own game?!"
* A good bit of the reaction to ''Pokemon + [[Nobunaga's Ambition]]'' and "day one buy" reactions to this were solely because of how out-there the crossover idea was.
