With This Herring: Difference between revisions

* Averted in ''[[Advent Rising]]''; you're given a [[BFG|fifty-caliber handgun]] just minutes in, and it goes up from there. On the way to Aurelia you get the [[Magic and Powers]], and though the [[BFG]]s are still available, you probably wont be using them anymore.

* Played realistically straight twice in the original ''[[Call of Duty]]''. First, as an [[Yanks With Tanks|American paratrooper]], you land having lost your weapon in the jump. Second, as a [[Reds with Rockets|Soviet infantryman]], you get off the riverboat at the Stalingrad docks with nothing more than 5 rounds of ammunition and a cheerful suggestion of picking up a rifle if you see one of your better equipped comrades die.

* ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''

** Justified in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''. At the start, Ezio is just an ordinary Italian youth and understandably does not have a reason to be packing real heat, so all he has are his fists.

* The recent [[Sam and Max]] games play with this a bit... you retain some key items between chapters, and the boys always have their guns with infinite ammo... it's just the game has a serious case of [[Soup Cans]], [[Rule of Funny]], and [[Rule of Fun]]. It gets to a ridiculous extreme when Max literally becomes {{spoiler|''the freakin' President of the United States''}}, but his authority is so caught up in beauracracy that he's pretty much in the same position he would be otherwise.

* Nearly every ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' game has Lara Croft start her adventure with nothing but a pair of pistols and some small health kits, despite the fact that nearly every artifact she hunts down usually has bad things happen to her from various people and animals. Averted in ''Tomb Raider II'' where Lara learns her lesson from last year's grueling adventure and she carries a shotgun as well.
