History YMMV / NESGodzillaCreepypasta

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Red]], or the "[[SatanicArchetype hell beast]]", is a shapeshifting, sadistic demon who takes the form of a character in ''VideoGame/GodzillaMonsterOfMonsters''. After Zach, the player of the game, begins to get suspicious about the content in the game, Red reveals himself as a sentient monster within the game itself who [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou directly threatens Zach]]. Red taunts Zach that his girlfriend's suicide was his doing, and that he is now torturing her soul. From there, Red engages in a brutal massacre, starting with the characters in the video game itself, then the [[EatenAlive angelic figure]] guarding Zach and the other figures aiding him, and ending with an attempt on Zach's life in the final battle. He paralyzes Zach and forces him to play the game and beat him or else die and have his soul trapped in the game.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The idea of Godzilla fighting demons from hell seems to have been inspired by ''Godzilla vs The Devil'', an allegedly planned Godzilla film which would have involved [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the King of Monsters fighting Satan]]. [[UrbanLegendOfZelda While the film was actually]] [[http://www.tohokingdom.com/articles/art_toho_busters.htm a rumor that got out of hand]], the summary that got spread around claimed that Godzilla would fight against a spider, a bird, and a fish; FridgeBrilliance sets in when [[http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/3994/redsheet.png all of Red's forms]] are based on those animals, if somewhat loosely. Red was most likely based off this rumored film.

* SignatureScene: The screenshot of Red chasing Godzilla in the first "RUN" sequence, as well as "STILL THE BEST 1973".

* Once Red starts talking, he becomes a fair bit less intimidating - especially considering that a lot of his dialogue, with both the protagonist and the other characters, seems like it's out of a corny anime.

* HilariousInHindsight: Come Film/KongSkullIsland, and the Skullcralwers bear more than a passing resemblance to Not-Hedorah. Right down to the face, even.

* MoralEventHorizon: Zachary genuinely begins to hate Red after [[spoiler:it devours the angel]]. Also done as a PlayerPunch.

** [[https://soundcloud.com/theonemanprogram/sets/godzilla-replay-ost This]] fanmade OST for the sequel, which is being used in a dramatic reading by the composer. SIN especially is fitting, and it even gives Usol a theme of his own! Even better; it's listed as WIP due to the story being incomplete. ''There's gonna be more.''

** The finale kinda falls apart when you realize that Zachary was apparently still taking screenshots ''even as he was having a heart attack''.

** The [[UncannyValley pitch-perfect]] [[NightmareFuel level design]] also helps bring back some immersion, at least. So there's that, too. You'll likely go in and out, especially at the ending.
** In the beginning of chapter 6 the quiz asks Zack some disturbing questions, asking if he's ever raped someone, if he's ever been molested and... "Will you miss me?", but it's that LAST one that disturbs Zack.
** Another Zenith example: the TV for the level is that of a burned corpse on a rock amid a hellish landscape, with no sound or animation. Right-clicking it, however, nets the message "tvisbadforyou.gif".
* NarmCharm: The original story, as stated many times, falls into many creepypasta clichés and pulls several {{Shocking Swerve}}s that it can be hard to take seriously at times. However, the ''sheer amount of effort'' put into the NES-style sprites and overall aesthetics allows quite a few people to look past the generic plot and enjoy it for what it is.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The idea of Godzilla fighting demons from hell. Had the Showa-era Godzilla films not been cancelled with the Terror of Mechagodzilla, the next film would have involved Godzilla fighting ''Satan''.

* ParanoiaFuel: To anyone who owns, or has ever owned, ''Godzilla: Monster of Monsters'' for the NES. Maybe Zachary's copy isn't the only one of its kind floating around. Or maybe you had/have it and were never aware of it! [[SchmuckBait Feel like giving it a whirl?]]

* BrokenBase: The ending was either a ClicheStorm of cliches that [[ThePowerOfLove don't]] [[GoldenEnding belong]] in a creepypasta story, or a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome fitting and satisfying conclusion]] that avoids some of the less-desired [[ShootTheShaggyDog cliches]] that crop up in other video game creepypasta stories.
* ClicheStorm: Hits a lot of familiar creepypasta notes. Unlike most creepypasta, though, this one is lavishly illustrated, so the old "photorealistic gore" cliche is rather more ''vivid'' than normal.

** Godzilla Replay subverts the trope though. The new protagonist has actually read the original creepy pasta and has spoken to Zach and is trying to [[TooDumbToLive invoke the events again for some reason]], so the dynamic is very different from most videogame creepy pastas. However things get even weirder, as demonic possession isn't apparent, and the game seems to have morphed into this weird sci-fi MindScrew experience with some similarities to an in-universe ARG that Carl is trying to navigate. And this is on ''top'' of a weird GottaCatchThemAll objective of beating the incarnations of the seven deadly sins. The only cliche that stands out is Carl getting obsessed with the game--collecting the crystals from those incarnations in particular--and even then, the roots of this obsession seem like they might be deconstructed later on; the significance of the Seven Deadly Sins theme to Carl is still as of yet unclear, and the words of the minion who [[spoiler:captures Usol]] imply that Carl is checking out this supernatural game because his "real life is worthless".

* ForcedMeme: "STILL THE BEST 1973" has absolutely no meaning to the story - the author just put it in in the hopes that it would become a meme. It did.

** The story itself has typos galore, indulges in creepypasta cliches like "hyper-realistic graphics", [[spoiler:the game threatening the player directly, and the game physically compelling the player to keep playing]], and the plot swerves from "this cartridge has something wrong with it" to [[spoiler:"I have to save the soul of my TroubledButCute BrokenBird ChildhoodFriend from an evil demon who's also got it out for me"]] and suffers from a lack of foreshadowing during the switch. On the other hand, [[NightmareFuel the custom sprites]] are ''[[NauseaFuel just that good]],'' so if one finds the story Narmy one can just enjoy the inventively unsettling sprite work.

* WinTheCrowd: Video Game Creepypastas are almost widely disliked and mocked by hardcore Creepypasta fans, given that a number of them are ClicheStorm[=s=] that follow the same formula. Even though the story does include a handful of cliches, a lot of serious Creepypasta fans like this story because of how well-written and well-illustrated it is.

* FreudWasRight: The monster that replaces Baragon has a [[http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k211/snescube/Godzilla%20Creepypasta%20Screencaps/notbaragongun.png very phallic chaingun]].
** Taken up to eleven in Replay with an entire ''level'' based off Freudian imagery. The world of Tempest contains insects with phallic, spiked tongues that stick these spikes into massive, hole-ridden lumps of flesh. Later, Carl finds an inhabitant who says "Don't interrupt me" while doing... [[ADateWithRosiePalms something...]] that Carl is clearly confused and/or disturbed by. It helps that Tempest is home to the Sin Demon of Lust.
** To a lesser extent, one of the monsters in the Pride chapter can also represent this, gazing into a mirror and remarking upon themselves as the best thing they've ever seen.
