I thought I was as well, but what I am more tired of is sadistic mustache twirling villains that turn sympathetic in a single cutscene. The Warriors of Darkness were a perfect example. They were just straight up psychotic killers and then started crying and somehow we were supposed to care about them suddenly. Gaius/Nero/Fordola/Yotsuyu all have similar issues, hell, they're even trying to make ZENOS of all people sympathetic now. Seriously? WoL thinking about 'friends' and they picture Zenos??

They could show us a more balanced look at villains, but it's always just evil, evil, evil, evil, GOOD! It's like playing duck duck goose or something, it gets old.

What I'd love to see is the WoL in a fish out of water, behind enemy lines sort of situation where they're forced to experience what the enemy is actually like, and starts to emphasize with them. THAT would make a more compelling sympathetic villain imo.
