Like in an RPG where they have to reset the character to base stats so the player can level them up again. I'm playing Guacamelee 2 and they did this by having the main character retire and become fat between the games so now he has to train to relearn his moves and get his health/stamina back up. Any other fun examples of video game logic for this? Or any really dumb ones that you chuckled at?

Dumbest one will always be Metroid: Other M where Samus starts fully powered but can't turn on her upgrades without an explicit order from her commander, even if she's burning to death in a lava room.

Also bonus points to Batman Arkham City for letting you keep most of your upgrades from the first game and providing new ones instead.

There is a 'good' reason for that. Megaman/X/Zero/etc do not want to fight or use their weapons aside from when they are required to. They destroy these weapons willingly, or are destroyed in the 'final fight.'

Kingdom Hearts and GoW always have in story reasons to reset their characters.

You enjoy teaching high schoolers, and I'll enjoy creating my crappy manga. Let's see where we both are in a year. TheDoorMouse
