anything evil being black- and/or red-coloured with spikes
good things being coloured in bright primary colours
final bosses living in dark and foreboding giant fortresses, often coloured black and with spikes
bosses that have a convenient and extremely obvious way to defeat them easily accessible

The GTA or any open world police knowing exactly where you are and the game trying to hide the fact it is cheating by making the police look confused until they go exactly where you are.

It's realistic, the police begin a general search around your last known area, just like in REAL LIFE

Even if the police lose you when you are in a plane, and you go all the way to the other side of the map to hide in a bush, and then the rozzers roll up and "check" the exact bush you are in.

there's bound to be a place where you landed or jumped out of the plane
and by that time you did run to the bush, someone would've called the cops saying someone just bailed from a moving aircraft

What about Watchdogs then, the Police Zooms across streets but when they pass you, they slow down and pretend they are checking. Once they passed the alley way you are in, they start zooming again.

it's probably supposed to simulate that the police are relying on the ctOS to find a suspect

forced stealth section, get spotted = failure state

multi form boss battles

exploding barrels

QTEs

cutscene incompetence (yes, tv tropes)

meaning you're character is able to do impressive feats midst gameplay but can't do anything in cutscenes so the plot can be advanced with some form of problem

can't think of anything else

*meaning your character

*so the plot can be advanced with either a new problem that has to be tackled by the player or have something dramatic happen, e.g character death

it is easier to make games in 8-bit, yeah, but that's not the only reason people do it

sometimes pixelated graphics end up looking better than non-pixelated graphics

it's why i liked the original ace attorney trilogy's art style over the newer games, it's why i liked the fire emblem gba art over awakening and shadow dragon

also, some games wouldn't feel the same if they didn't have pixelated graphics, i.e shovel knight

there's just a sort of charm that they have...

how a player characters acts in gameplay vs cutscenes
ex: the dude from gta IV who moved to liberty city to escape the killings and violence
*blows up cops with a rocket launcher*

or

how the good guy always wins
for once, i want a game where in the end you realize it's all a setup or something and you die

like, the protagonist has a "rival" sort of character, but they always have an edgier and darker past, same with their fighting style.
