>The villain is your adopted son from the future
The villain is your adopted son from the future
Yeah that twist came out of fucking nowhere, didn't it?
>villain is called Father
>he's actually your son
What game?
He's actually from the past
>This is never mentioned again except for in some ingame book you don't even have to look at
witcher
>Villain is you from a different time line
The first witcher
>you were the villain the entire time
>The villain is your transgender ex-wife's daughter
psh nothing personnel kid
>final boss is your libido
>the villain is your gf
>you accidentally get sent to the future and discover your son
>your son is actually you as a child
>you get the opportunity to return to the past; you send him back instead
>tons of time travel shenanigans happen over the course of the story, but they never explain where the fuck you came from
Jak II?
>the villain is you from the new timeline you fucked up
>nevermind the villain is the mage from the first game
>final boss is a dialogue
>Final boss is a Yea Forums poster
>The villain is a rip-off mascot from another series
>villain is set up to be the hero from the first game
>"haha prease undastand"
>the villain is just some random old guy instead
>the chosen one your father spent his life searching for is your son, who wasn't born until years after your father died
Gonna need to know what game that is.
>The game has a time travel plot
How to tell a game or story has absolutely no idea what to do
>the game IS a time travel plot
Story aside the game really is great
>game/movie has time travel
We've come full circle now and I actually appreciate plain ass time travel plots where you get a time machine. Back to the Future and Chrono Trigger are great, too many movies and games try to make it complicated for no reason.
Some of the time dickery you can do is great.
>emptying a chest in the present then going back in time and taking the contents out in the past
>making a guy stop being an asshole by going back in time and being nice to his ancestors
>merging an object with itself from the future/past (in the DS version)
>raiding the final dungeon in multiple eras so you can get multiples of all the loot
>traveling to the day the world ends before finishing the game so Lavos can push your shit in
>Awaken my emperor
>Emperor is main villain
>Actually I’m a guy posing as the emperor while real emperor is still healing
>sequel bait
>also your father is working with the real king as an ending scene
>also two separate cliffhangers with no sequel in sight
Fuck you Sega
>You're the villain
*your wife's son*
Good. Not enough games let you be the bad guy without trying to railroad you into being the good guy
>There is no villain because being evil is relative blahblahblah
what? Bullshit.
>Everything is morally grey
there's still an antagonist though, the antagonist can be the good guy
the witcher 1 left me so sad
