I think thats their point
Based moron
Sonic Adventure 1
Gothic 2 Night of the Raven
I like this trope tbh.
Star Trek Elite Force 2.
Skies of Arcadia

The entire fricking Kiseki series is groups of people repeatedly doing this.
>antagonist turns into a moronic schizo in the final game and his motivations are completely removed from his established character
He was fine, just stressed out and dealing with invading a well defended planet personally, going through a civil war, having all of his subordinates die on him and getting infected by a parasite that can speak through you, among other things.
>People band together in times of disaster and begin to fight amongst themselves in time of peace.
>I will awaken this ancient superweapon to endlessly ravage the world so people will stop killing each other and always cooperate.
>Never mind that the superweapon will undoubtedly end up causing more death and destruction in the long run than any human war could. as long as it isn't people killing people lol
I know no one plays Etrian Odyssey games for the plot, but christ
villains that try to aquire world peace are fricking cringe. give me some real villains like ones just in it for the most profit
Based Skeletor shamelessly just wanting power
It can be done well, Ozymandias managed to avoid a nuclear war by turning the world's attention to an alien invasion that never really existed.
He killed a lot of people. but the war he averted would have been worse.
>the ancient weapon is a rusty outdated piece of shit that doesn't work
how would it last when blue man doesn't show his face for years
>the ancient weapon is a cute anime girl
>Charging enemy stuns themselves when they hit walls leaving them open for attacks
>Evil underground cult is trying to release their dark god from his millennia long imprisonment and rebuild the world in his image.
>They succeed in freeing him.
>but he's chilled out over the years and isn't into the evil stuff anymore
>Ancient evil died while sealed
Has there ever been an example of this where the weapon turned out to be shit because it was an ancient civilization and their idea of "world ending" was "destroying everything in the valley where we live because that's the extent of our world"?
