Never Live It Down/Video Games: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* Just like the Jean Grey example itself, Zero from ''[[Mega Man X]]'' is known in the fandom for dying and resurrecting at the drop of a hat, which isn't exactly fair. He's only died canonically, what, <s>4/5</s> 3 times? <s>And he's not revived the last time.</s> Scratch that, he came back as a biometal. In the words of Sigma: "ZELLO! JUZDIE!" Perhaps this is because Zero is [[The Obi-Wan]] and the writers thought he was too [[Badass]] to keep dead.

** According to the creator, Zero was originally supposed to stay dead the first time. It didn't work out.

*** Yuyuko herself would become known as a [[Big Eater]] because of this, as well as her comments about the game's events being a "wonderful midnight snack tour," with [[Flanderization]] taking her appetite to [[Extreme Omnivore]] levels.

**** Aki Eda turns Yuyuko's appetite into a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when, at the end of the [[Batman Gambit]] within the [[Xanatos Gambit]] that is ''Silent Sinner in Blue'', Yuyuko prioritizes stealing a simple jug of Lunarian sake over advanced Lunarian technology and weaponry. It's too trivial for retaliatory action and can be consumed in a single sitting so it can never be recovered, but it perfectly broadcasts "We win."

** There's also Keine, the unfortunate were-hakutaku who will forever be known for all the [[Touhou/Memes|CAVED]] [[Memetic Molester|people left in her wake]].

* [[John Romero]]. ''[[Daikatana]]''. That is all.

** Only because we're all confused as to whether or not we were ever actually made his bitches.

* ''[[BlazBlue]]'' has some of the more colorful cast there is. However, some of them have been suffering cases of [[Never Live It Down]] which may fling into [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]

** [[The Hero]] Ragna The Bloodedge is squarely a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]. However, due to his past history of destroying several NOL bases and leaving no survivors, something he hasn't done as of late (or at least shown in the game), some people makes it clear and never let the fandom forget that he was a mass murderer... and always will be.

*** This impression is reinforced by the characterization ''Continuum Shift'' gives him. While it's in non-canon gag storylines, it's in at least three gag storylines. Not to mention in Teach Me Miss Litchi, too. [[Implausible Deniability|So, not entirely the fans' faults]] Arc Systems are milking this [[Running Gag]] for all it's worth.

** Litchi Faye-Ling is quite probably the most egregious one. She is all nice and caring to everyone she comes across, provided they're not evil and she does try her best to save Arakune. But one moment she unwillingly joined NOL as [[I Did What I Had to Do|the situation practically forced her to if she wants a shot in saving Arakune]], fans practically considered 'obsession' to be her whole personality, forgetting all the good things she did before (and thought they were just to facilitate her obsession) and mere association with NOL dooms her to be a [[Heel]] in many fans' eyes.

* Sony Online Entertainment will never live down the "New Game Enhancements" to ''[[Star Wars Galaxies]]'' in Nov. 2005, which caused the hemorrhaging of subscriptions and saw the beginning of the six-year slippery slope to the game's cancellation in late 2011.

** Simiarlly, the Playstation Network will never be looked at the same way again thanks to Sony not handling the hacking incidents on its networks more swiftly, which caused the PSN to be down for almost a month.

* Bianca Whitaker from ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', DS remake, is remembered for having a habit of reminding you [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?|how she and the hero went on a ghost hunting when they were kids]]. She only talks about ghost hunting a few time after she and her childhood friend reunion, and will only talk about it more along with other things when you're revisiting her places of memory in a party chat. Of course, some fans ignore this, resulting Bianca being a lot less dateable.

* If one were to mention the name [[CAVE]], the ONLY image that will pop into most gamers' minds is that of their infamous [[True Final Boss]]es, never mind the other 98% of the games they appear in.

* As noted by YouTuber MattKC in his video about the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Bv19Aub3sA rare Japanese version] of ''[[LEGO Island]]'', PC gaming in Japan has had a rather seedy reputation due to it being more associated with [[Eroge]] and those so-called "H-games" than on mainstream, non-pornographic games. It probably didn't help that strict censorship on console games in the country has led adult game developers to publishing their smut to home computers, owing to the relatively open nature of both the IBM PC and indigenous home micro platforms in Japan such as the [[MSX]], PC-88 and 98 among others.
