I really hate this.
its fun having someone you despise all game and then defeating them.now it's just "oh but we were good guy!" or "you can't even comprehend me!"

I want a villain to push my face into the ground constantly, kill my friends, constantly harass me throughout the game, and finally turn the tide on him on the end.

The thing is Deathshead for Wolfenstein isn't just an evil nazi. He had two games before that to antagonize BJ and then run off, causing all sorts of hell time and time again, and then at the beginning of New Order, he traps you and forces you to decide which of your friends are going to die. And then he rips their brain out through their back, stuffs it in a jar and forces you to fight them in a giant robot at the end of the game, putting an end to said friend's suffering.

The start is iffy but everything from the Christmas special onward is good, and then turns to phenomenal once Kamen Rider Chronicles starts. Definitely a good series to jump back in. I personally didn't really like Drive and hated Ghost, but Ex-Aid is genuinely good once you get past the rough start. It's kind of the same deal as Blade, but with less memes.

>>386414318
not even a cop out. Girahim mentions multiple times that his goal is to resurrect his master, and demise isn't explicitly Ganon, he's just the reason Ganon exists. If you didn't think the game that was billed as being defacto first in the timeline wasn't going to explain why we keep having different reincarnations of the triforce trio then you're retarded.
