Why is recusing a princess or damsel in distress such a popular trope in games?
Only in games 20+ years ago
>>719570631name 50 games where you play as a traditional hero and the main goal of the journey is to rescue the beautiful maiden/princess who falls in love with you when you save her. its literally never been done in a video game, videogames are goyslop that cant be meaningful and soulful
>>719570631It's one of the oldest heroic deeds in fiction
>>719570631Easy way to grant the hero the three things most people want in life>Love>Money>Fame
>>719570749Dragon Quest 1, you buffoon, you even play as your descendants in the sequel, this also happens in Dragon Quest 5 and 8.
>>719570631Saving people feels nice. For Princesses stuff specifically it's easy to make up that kind of story cause there could be hundreds of reasons why a princess would be in danger, if it's a regular person you gotta get into more specifics, plus it's more fantastical to save a princess.I would bring up love but that isnt exclusive to having it be a princess
>>719570996>3 gamesconsidering how everyone treats it like a classic trope that's been overdone its funny how its literally never been done, but i guess we need more subversive totally unique stories represented in vidya, those we totally lack!!!!
>>719570631>popularIt's been verboten for the last 15 years.
>>719570749Zelda 2 actually, but none of the others.>>719570996Actually no, you can just not rescue the princess there. Its probably a notable subversion.

>>719572734https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Nemo:_Adventures_in_SlumberlandKind of a joint Japan/American production, so is both /a/ and /co/ related.
>>719570631>protagonist before adventure (You):>does have: courage, strength, intelligence (according to (You))>does not have: money, beautiful wife>princess (you're waifu)>does have: money, beauty>does not have: (You)>acquire princess through daring adventure that proves your worth (that NOBODY recognized!!!)>protagonist after adventure (this could be (You)!!!)>does have: Courage, strength, intelligence, money, beautiful wife>does not have: literally nothing!!I hope this explains it.
