Name a better plot twist.
Name a better plot twist
the only good thing about bioshock
Saw it coming from about the first 30 minutes.
I never played the original bioshock (or any bioshock game, really). I have it on steam since it was in a bundle I bought a while ago but it refuses to run for some reason and I probably will never play it.
What was the twist about? Yea Forums seemed to have a good time with it back in the day.
Play Bioshock (only the first , 2 and Infinite were a mistake)
Is a phrase that was programmed to function as a trigger for the post-hypnotic suggestions programmed into the mind of the protagonist
Oh. Cool. It's a shame I never got it to work on my PC. I tried, then I upgraded and tried again but it just wouldn't run.
Here, have the literal worst twist in the history of gaming.
*MOGGS* your shitty plot twists.
In Sol Trigger
You get to the final boss and the entire cast gets fucking slaughtered upon finding out some plot twists. Then the game skips many years into the future and you play as the son of the MC, and his mother is whatever girl you choose before the first "final boss".
sol trigger was good, although "saigo no yakusoku no monogatari" was better, overall
no you didn't
This was big when no one got spoiled
I liked 2's DLC though.
Predictable AND extremely boring.
>ur actually da bestest jedi of the forever can both sides of the force cuz he's like da best and no one ever figured it out before or after
I was ready to post this as I opened the spoiler, but for once OP wasn't a faggot.
KotOR2 was better
>lol no retard these people aren't following you because they're your friends they're following you because you're literally a walking soul vortex who fucks with fate wherever you go
This made me shit so many bricks when it happened. I was already confused by the whole thing, but that line and 4th wall break was pure shock.
>Was spoiled on the scene.
>Did it anyways.
>Still got a chill up my spine when he turned towards me.
2 is the best Bioshock though.
1 plot is entirely buttfucked up with a twist near the end/middle
and infinite has a MK ultra grade mind fuck at the end
Bullshit
It's only a mind fuck because pic related.
That's not even a plot twist.
You have no choice in this game anyways, so it doesn't matter what he said, you would do the exact same shit anyways.
Forced meme "twist" for the reddit audience.
kek
everyone knows the man has autism
*judaism
You didn't say it had to be vidya.
Fuck the Slicing Simian.
>Listening to all Kessler dialogues after completing the game the first time.
So simple yet so great
Say what you will about Live A Live but I'll never get over this chapter
check the board next time tard
It's really, really fucking hard to top this
I'm disappointed samflam had such a middle slump and bad animation because otherwise it was top tier as fuck
No, autistic writers would go into elaborate details about the ins and outs of their sci-fi universe and would have a very, very hard time writing about concepts they can't themselves fully wrap their heads around because they fear situations and things that aren't familiar to them or that they don't understand. Ken Levine isn't autistic, he's just dumb.
whether you have an impact on the story's outcome has no bearing on whether or not it's a twist ending, retardo
Samflam, despite all it's flaws and the animation budget running out halfway through, is still among my favorite anime just for how absolutely wild a ride it was. It really is the ultimate love letter to toku.
I'm never going to play this game, can anyone explain the twist?
Chopping Chimp was pure kino, but sadly isn't video games. I want a dame SF game that changes gameplay genre as often as the show changes hero genre
Play it. This is your one and only warning. There's a reason why it's still to this day one of the most loved games in this contrarian shithole.
This mother fucker.
What always bugged me was why does Azure Flame Kite have a tri-edge attack during his boss fight? It's a bit of a cheap red herring if you ask me.
What game is this?
You should really play Ghost Trick
See above
I partially got spoiled on it, and even though it still surprised me, I wish I played the game without prior knowledge. Do yourself a favor and play it.
It is nigger, you could have used any phrase you wanted and say it's a trigger, there is no set up, no hints, nothing that makes an impact when it's revealed. It's a meme.
It's on the same level as "it was just a dream".
youtube.com
ghost trick.
Now leave and play it, because someone is about to say the C word and ruin it for everyone that hasn't played it. It happens every time.
What game is this educate me
The same as in the OP
The main character is a ghost who's looking to solve the mystery of his own death before the night ends and he vanishes from existence. The only thing he has to go on is his dead body and a girl he found at the scene of the crime.
Later in the game you eventually realize the body you found isn't actually yours. Your entire self-image and who you thought you were is incorrect, that guy is actually the games villain. You're just a stray cat.
>he said the c-word
KYRIE, GET BACK INSIDE NOW
Thanks
it's a twist in the story you fucking braindead retard
I liked Prey's plot twist. The game was also pretty good.
Watch out you're now going to be swarmed by seething brainlets going "hurr it was all a dream none of what you did mattered!"
I can't
>got spoiled on both of these before starting ghost trick
>still get surprised by the end you know the one
god that game was such an experience
ねこ!
I just played this game back in January. Thinking back I was spoiled on a good bit, but the twists still shocked me because I had forgotten them by the time I was playing the game, and only remembered that I saw them by the time the game had ended. The only spoiler I did think about while playing was and that whole scene and chapter still surprised me because I thought that the protagonist had somehow gone bad and that the game was going full meta.
Great game, by the way.
That shit blew my mind as a kid. So fucking good.
The lamp being missile just waiting?
The most fucking incredible part about Prey's twist is that it's the only time in the history of media that "It's a dream" is the point.
Can you just imagine being Alex Yu, stuck as maybe the last hope of humanity, sitting in a virtual closet and reliving the death of his brother again and again as the only possible way to make any of this right?
The point where it clicked was when I realized the game over music is Alex's theme: It's sad and it's melancholy, but you only get a few bars of it, because you only own the smallest bit of the failure: It's Alex taking a deep breath, fighting down the futility and regret and starting again.
please explain these. not everybody has played all these games
Indeed. The game is always one step ahead of you when it comes to these twists.
This is how i imagine redditors write
yeah this was pretty good
the game was fucking longgg
The basic point is that you're not Alex Yu, and this isn't the Typhon incident on Talos I.
That's already happened. The Typhon got loose, Morgan snapped and one way or another, Earth got contaminated. Morgan Yu is dead.
What you actually are is a Typhon that Alex has captured and is trying to imprint mirroring on. He's constantly running you through the Talos I incident as his dead brother/sister to produce a Typhon that has traditional sentience: A being that could communicate with the Typhon, so that he could actually understand and defeat/repel/coexist with them.
In the golden ending, you demonstrate all the hallmarks of empathy that Alex wanted to get across, and for what it's worth, he's come to terms with his role in his brother's death. It's up to you to decide as a sophonated Typhon if you'll resume your role as the "ghost" of Morgan Yu and help your "brother" save what remains of humanity, or avenge yourself, now virtually unstoppable as a Typhon not limited by its incapacity to understand the world around it abstractly.
CAUSE THATS WHAT DOGGIES DO!
kino. gameplay sucked tho
Only one of us is dreaming of redditors user.
Fuck. You're not _MORGAN_ Yu.
Ghost trick is the greatest game to ever exist that also has pretty much zero replay value.
Infamous 1 spoilers duh.
The bad guy is actually a future, more powerful version of you who instead of facing a monster called "The Beast" ,chose to hide to protect his family which led to the death of millions. He went back in time to ruin your life by killing your future wife so you have no distractions and can focus on becoming even more powerful than him and defeat the The Beast. The plan actually works because you're now aware that the beast is coming and start preparing for it.
For nuPrey you start the game by escaping a simulation loop only to find yourself on a space station overrun by ayy lmaos. There's multiple endings and the plot can go in different directions depending on your moral choices in the game. Then it turns you are actually one of the aliens that is being subjected to a simulation of the events that led to your race invading Earth to determine if it's possible for your race to develop "mirror neurons" which would allow you to experience empathy toward humans and stop your invasion
Do gameplay twists count?
what's that? one of these dangagoomba weeb games?
It's a French RPG named OFF
I don't get it
Ghost trick is a fucking paw game.
>I want to play the best game ever!
>God: Granted, but the game will only sell 3 copies, will have absolutely no replay value and no one on earth will play it without getting spoiled before hand. Also, Shu Takumi will never work in a mainline game of any series ever again and the games he works on will never be officially released outside of japan.
I was ready to drop the show during the shitty Flamengers arc (pic related was the only good part) but I sure am glad I didn't.
Anyway, it's not the most mind-blowing twist since it was (too) heavily foreshadowed but Dickson shooting Shulk in Xenoblade is still my favorite video game betrayal.
This changed so much
Some do.
Firewatch's twist is that evey mysterious thing that you have been experiencing has a rational and logical explanation. It has nothing to do with you, you're not a hero, you're not special. You're just some guy who escaped from your problems to live and adventure. Even your love interest rejects you, there was never anything special between the both of you. She tells you to go and fix your life just like she'll go fix hers. A lot of people were mad at the game because it hyped up a mystery that didn't exist, nothing really happens, the ending is pretty anticlimatic. I found it to be a good subversion of expectations with a nice message.
>starting off with a good one
It's an rpgmaker game, but one of the best ones. The story and ost are kino, but the gameplay is not great.
So what's the canon interpretation of the game? I like the one where the game world is the fucked up view of the world by a kid in a coma that can somehow still hear what's going on in the real world, the batter is the "avatar" of his father that wants to shut down the machines keeping him alive, and the things he kills are actually the other relatives that get convinced that it is the right thing to do, one by one, his mother being the last one.
Right before the last level, you get a lock that matches the shape of the river below. You activate the lock and nothing much happens, but then you can activate the river in the same manner. Time to go back around the whole island looking for forced perspective locks to open in the scenery.
I find this one to be worse.
It's a challenge and I don't like losing.
I didn't.
I like the idea but it's execution was kind of poor. A lot of the beat for beats in the story don't add up if you play it again. But I can see what they were trying.
Firewatch sucks ass.
Thanks mods spoil it hours after it's been up
The game kind of kills the impact of the final twist by jerking you around with the nature of the lifehold so many times already. You go from needing to get there to awaken your bodies that are broadcasting consciousness to your mimes; to there were no bodies, just dna and digital consciousness being broadcasted from a computer, and then the final twist of the computer was ded all along and none of you should have been conscious to begin with. It doesn't help that the twists come In Right after another at the final mission. Plus the way the game was going, I was expecting it to be the halfway mark, or sequel bait for something coming out very soon.
That's not really fair though, this is as heinous as "transitioning" to win gold in the woman's olympic sets.
I dont actually know, I haven't done too much research into the lore of the game. And it didnt help that the newer and offically endorsed translation apparently retconned some of the theories out there. One of the interpretations I have heard however was that the kid was sick with a chronic illness, and the batter is ending the kids sickness by "purifying" him and his world.
That sounds like every single SJW game, book or movie ever made.
>jokes on you, there was no mystery
>jokes on you, the house wasn't haunted
>jokes on you, her parents weren't important
>her parents
What walking simulator?
The twist is being set up for later games, Mims aren't amazing because they can hold human minds, they are amazing because they can hold human souls, don't trust Elma's lies.
The last jedi.
Obligatory MGS post in a thread about twists.
lmao
It's not even a spoiler. is.
>You were an old man all along
>You had robot arms all along
>She was a robot all along
>The blonde dude called dio acting like an ass was actually the villain not even trying to hide it
>You were on the fucking moon all along, the bloody "moon" you could see outside in the sky wasn't because of the eclipse, but because that was the earth and the world had already ended
>That's also why that girl was so good at jumping
THEN THE SEQUEL COMES AROUND AND
>Mindhack lol
I have no idea what game this is.
fuck, I was about to ask why has no one mentioned MIND HACK yet
IT WAS AN EGS EXCLUSIVE ALL ALONG
best bioware plot twist hands down, the extended flashback was great
The way they kept repeating the phrase and putting emphasis on those three words made it extremely obvious right from the start. Also immediately called Atlas was not really Atlas (like Polito from System Shock 2).
Don't even fucking talk about the goddamn mindhacks, user. I'm still pissed off. Uchikoshi must've gone absolutely batshit in the intervening years.
I beat this game over a decade ago and I don't even remember who this character is, I just remember meeting a bunch of furries and and running in a field at night. It was probably Bioware's best game too.
This is unironically the only one that rivals Ghost Trick's. That was so good. I miss Hideo, he was the soul of the MGS series, Kojima was just dragging its corpse around.
How the fuck did he not notice he was an old dude with a robot eye?
>The blonde dude called dio acting like an ass was actually the villain not even trying to hide it
this one was good, though. even his "OK OK I CONFESS GUYS I'LL GIVE YOU THE CODE. IT'S RIGHT HERE IN MY POCKET, JUST GET IT REAL CLOSE TO MY FACE" trick was believable because COME ON GUYS NOBODY IS THAT EVIL, RIGHT?????
That's the shittiest and most obvious "plot twist" of all time though. Anyone who didn't see it coming after the fucking intro cutscene on the tutorial ship must be retarded. It doesn't help that they keep ramming in that you're MYSTERIOUSLY GIFTED and YOU'RE HAVING WEIRD DREAMS ABOUT REVAN and REVAN WEARS A MASK.
I dabbed when it was revealed
>pic
just draw it on a dirty mirror bruh
In spite of the games great art design, the game shat itself at the white phosphorous part.
Too busy checking out all the hot babes.
Nolan North's character did nothing wrong. It was his team mates that fucked everything up.
No reflective surfaces.
>checking out his daughter
who's ready to get on Uchikoshi's wild ride again in July
Never forget.
Wouldn't he have still been able to "notice" how his one eye is kinda different or that his body in general is an old man body and not a hot guy body?
Don't know if it counts as a plot twist. But playing FF3 (6) back in the day before internet and got to the floating continent and thought it was time to fight the final boss and prevent the end of the world. And then he destroys the world anyways and the game is only half done. It was pretty cool at the time.
> want to look through this thread to find games with great plot twists so can experience them
>can't see what they are without spoiling the whole thing
aaaaaahhhhhhhh
I'm never falling for that hack's tricks ever again. I haven't felt this let down by a game's plot since playing Indigo Prophecy.
Not great, but I remember it.
Doesn't he explicitly state several times Phi's flat chest doesn't interest him?
It's masked by the weirdness of the different gravity on their bodies. He's also noticeably low on stamina when it comes to things other than his arms. It's also possible his arms were programmed so they wouldn't register metal if he ever touched his eye.
that was nice really
>different or that his body in general is an old man body and not a hot guy body?
It depends on whether he was still getting boners or not.
I still don't actually know what this twist is. Is it worth playing the game for?
Reddit didn't even exist. Hell. Yea Forums didn't even exist when bioshock was- NOT EVEN GENERIC VIDEO GAME GUIDES EXISTED- when bioshock was made.
I remember it too because I figured it out immediately and it was so frustrating playing the game for hours with a story so bad and characters going in literal circles and not being able to figure out what's happening. I still haven't finished it and I bet a lot of people are in the same boat and that's why the sequel bombed.
>NOT EVEN GENERIC VIDEO GAME GUIDES EXISTED
bro I think you're just wrong on that one
youtube.com
(Just music, has no spoilers)
Pic-related for me was the only twist recently that got me to shoot up from my seat and say "Oh fuck!"
The game is fairly good. It has issues towards the end but it's still pretty fun. The plot twists are alright and you probably won't predict all of them despite being somewhat obvious.
The twist right on your face on the very game title.
It's a good jrpg with a really, really stupid endgame involving having to replay the game FOUR FUCKING TIMES
Why isn't this webm called resident evil?
Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and Lost Ocean, Kalas going insane at the half of the game and betraying the whole party[/spoilery.
Baten Kaitos Origins, when the final boss origins from the first game gets revealed.
>Yea Forums didn't even exist when bioshock was made
>2007
Are you serious? That's just a rip off of Fire Emblem
oh man i remember that, i mean i knew there was going to be a plot twist but didn't expect that at all i was thinking other shenanigans maybe that's why i got so hyped when it happened.
Combat system is great, but the story gets very repetitive and confusing as fuck in the name of the overarching plot.
Nothing makes sense until the last few hours.
I loved the final battle/scenes, though.
I thought we all agreed people can only pretend to be retarded on Yea Forums?
The twist that he was a pajeet the whole time?
How could you know it was a phrase for mind control though? It stuck out but just sounds like phrase his character prefers and not something that has control over you.
I wanted to say that it's reasonable no one cared until pool's closed but that was 2006
No, the twist that Dhurk died before the case began In hindsight, there was decent foreshadowing, but I didn't realize until shortly before the reveal.
Both reddit and Yea Forums had been around for a few years when bioshock was made, and I can think of at least two generic video game guide websites that celebrated their 10th anniversary before bioshock came out.
I actually had KOTOR ruined for me so I never got to experience this fabled "greatest plot twist of all time". Was it really that fucking obvious to people playing it at the time? OR is this classic Yea Forums contrarianism?
Because it's always used when they ask you to do something and it repeats. Atlas wasn't the first to use it. (And nevermind that it's a video game and you don't really have a choice either way, it doesn't matter.)
I can't speak for everyone on Yea Forums but I figured it out immediately before even landing on Taris. It was so obvious, the way you're a mysterious guy with awesome talents, everybody sucking your dick, you're having weird dreams about Revan for some reason and you get to become a Jedi immediately as an exception. I think it's more strange some people were genuinely surprised at the twist.
When I was playing it as a kid, I never really saw it coming. The thought crossed my mind but I was like "Oh he got killed, can't be me."
Because that would be a shit pun.
Revan being an ever present topic despite being otherwise not present in the game was huge red flag for me. I was just expecting it the entire time. I'd say it was more telegraphed than foreshadowed.
this sounds plausible, didn't pick up on this myself as it was spoiled so I just ran through thinking about how I was gonna try and get Mission to bang me or something. I can see how it might have been obvious tho.
this might be it, afterall most people seem to have played when they were kids cos "muh star wars" so it might have been obvious to people that came to it as an adult.
>telegraphed
That's a shame, cos foreshadowing is really there to give you a hint that never really matures into a full realisation. Foreshadowing is good for second playthroughs as you realise just how much there is in the background that is pushing you along. Telegraphing that twist is kind of retarded.
tomo is worst girl
or any other in the series, but after this they're all predictable
Came here to post this. This fucked me up, didn't see it coming at all.
I can't remember this scene, what happens here?

You're more pathetic and laughable than I am for still reading this fucking manga.
Oersted was like: Everyone betrayed me, I'm fed up with this world.
999 was better.
I hated almost everything 999 2.
>Rabbit mascot extremely annoying having no purpose
>dum bitches being there just because
>Alice dressed like "ALLICE" because she likes it. Also btw she's genius able to know the square root of 100 digit long numbers for a convenient asspull
>circus guy with zero charisma is the villain, the circus outfit was absolutely needed.
There are so many parts of this game that happen just because... It was the real letdown for me, the atmosphere of 999 was completely gone. For what it's worth ZTD brought back things from 999that VLR didn't and I rank ZTD above VLR, memes are memes and consensus are ass. People hate ZTD for >complex motives, while VLR was already full of shitty dumb ideas.
do you think we will ever get a Baten Kaitos 3, bro?
Nope. That twist was retarded.
I have no idea of the context behind this image, I just assumed in my head that it would be called Gorillotine.
That got me too, user. Had experience with literally every AA game and they still managed to pull the wool over my eyes for so long. The scale of it is absolutely ridiculous.
>Rabbit mascot extremely annoying having no purpose
He wasn't annoying, and he had a major purpose. It being a quantum computer AI and basically keeping track of all the alternate timelines was pretty much the whole point of the AB game. It was a rabbit because Akane liked rabbits and it had a personality because Dr. Sigma was autistic and lonely so he programmed his AI butler to be quirky and sassy.
Its actual name is Guillotine Gorilla, it's just that it became a meme to name it after other alliterations like Slicing Simian, Chopping Chimp, Beheading Bonobo, etc.
lol, the words that are said only a few times in the first 3 hours. You don't need to try so hard to sound cool to strangers, idiot.
Jesus fuck 95% of people who play Bioshock don't get the twist. It's not only that you're mind controlled. It's that you're Andrew Ryan's son.
Your Mom is the first audio log you pick up, his mistress.
Ryan lets you kill him so that you can break the programming and free yourself. He dies, sacrificing himself for you because he figures this out.
The really twist in spec ops is that you died in the helicopter crash.
spec ops still pisses me off. It gets so much praise and then I try to play it, it literally doesn't even allow you to not fucking kill everyone, while at the same time bombarding you with "WOW YOURE A MONSTER WHY ARE YOU SO BRUTAL STOP DOING THIS" then you try and "LOL NO GET RIGHT BACK IN THERE FAGGOT"
I'm really pissed that I didn't have the patience to actually beat E4 as a kid, robbing myself of this moment
I was too dumb to realize you could heal between fights and never got past Lance
Close, but not quite
Name a single game with a better twist than Perfect Blue's.
You can't.
What's the matter?
Don't like being shit on by the game when the game only allows you to do what it says is bad?
How dare you not recognize the artistic genius that is behind this game.
What was it again? It's been decades since I last watched it.
desu, I am glad there are a few games that take away chocie from ytou. There is so much cancer these days about games with "meaningful choices" that are literally just slightly different ending cutscenes. Unless they are text-heavy games, I don't see how any studio can make really divergent choices with whole levels and environments that are cut off from you otherwise.
Mima's female manager was the killer the whole time. As a former idol singer who's become aged and "worthless," she self-inserts as the pop idol version of Mima in order to relive her youth. However, Mima deciding to stop being an idol and become a serious actress causes her to snap when she witnesses Mima get fake-raped for the drama she's acting for. Throughout the entire movie, she has the means, the motivation, and it explains all of the actions she takes when Mima confides in her about her mental issues. If not for the fact that the movie throws in several red herrings, making the otaku out to be the murderer, making it possible that Mima is the murderer and is just crazy, etc, I'm genuinely surprised they managed to fool me with all the hints.
that the main character is crazy as shit too doesn't help
Goddamn Punished missile is such a fucking cunt, lying about the whole time limit, but I never quite understood how he managed to turn himself into a ghost if he never came in contact with the meteor
The way they presented this twist was so good too. I feel like it clicked for me at the last possible moment (when you had to present the blood).
Apollo's reaction was so good too. "What am I fighting for?". He was right: What WAS I even fighting for?
>desu, I am glad there are a few games that take away choice from you.
There's ways to do it right, and then there's ways that completely fucking insult the intelligence of the player, like pic related.
This game had the polar opposite of a good twist, it had the most predictable, blatantly obvious, and easily recognizable twist of all time. What makes it so particularly offensive, though, is the fact that the game gives you a fake choice at the end and insults the player's intelligence by expecting you to fall for the twist instead of choosing the smarter and more rational choice. Making the smarter choice does literally nothing and is a feedback loop.
Probably not. I didn't even play Origins because THOSE FUCKING BAMCO FUCKING JEWS DIDNT RELEASE IT IN EUROPE
What's the context?
I don't mind when a game refuses to take choice away but it plays it off as giving you choice by constantly bombarding you with messages of the horrors you're committing and people telling you the aftermath, saying "WHY DONT YOU JUST STOP WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS". Then when you stop, they don't allow you. Why not just remove those messages of people telling you to stop, add some diologue of hallucinations or something to keep you invested as opposed to making you feel like you shouldn't be playing.
Just watch samurai flamenco.
Agreed. Everyone suddenly acts like a complete fucking idiot at the end of the game when it is clear what is actually going on. Did you also just wait for a few minutes before the final boss fight because you did not want to make the retarded choice that the game was forcing on you?
Could you tell me what you say the "twist" is? To me, the main twist of the game was that "Owlboy" refers to Solis or whatever his name was, and not the main character and I actually found that twist to be quite good.
>if he never came in contact with the meteor
He did though
I was planning to, I just asked to see if someone would answer me with that, now I know the show is worth it. Thanks.
Decapitate Primate
Yomiel (and the meteor fragment) was present when the assassin shot missile in the first timeline.
>Did you also just wait for a few minutes before the final boss fight because you did not want to make the retarded choice that the game was forcing on you?
Yes. I am baffled if there was anyone else who somehow managed to not do this unless they were playing the game with their head up their ass. I have never played a videogame with a moment so memorably awful, how the fuck could they have let this happen?
Reminds me of Okami, when the ONLY time when you can't choose not to do what someone asks you (not that those are real choices, they just default to "okay I'll wait here until you say yes" anyway), is when a suspicious character who turns out to be evil later asks you for an item that she "needs to destroy the demon king", except that the item itself told you it empower the demon king.
It's already frustrating enough when a movie or TV show has extremely dumb characters that do obviously dumb things that will fuck them over, but it's ten times worse in a video game where YOU'RE the one who actually has to put effort into doing something that you know is bad.
Also, I felt like the entire game was setting up some sort of New Game+ time travel type twist with the whole "loop" thing that simply never happened.
Ah I see now.
That's actually the turning point for a lot of people, myself included. Before that part it's actually a really great show, with real emotional investment. It was an hopeful take on a guy wanting to be a superhero in the real world. But then it actually turns into a kid's show with all sorts of nonsense thrown in. It's bizarre and that's probably supposed to be the draw, but it's just boring.
spec ops was more pretentious than a twist
I will give them one thing, I don't think I'll ever forget Owlboy because of what it did. It's now placed itself as a memorable game for how badly executed it is, as opposed to mediocre games I've played that I can't even name.
In fact, the entire game kinda does this tugging of the rug underneath you in order to demonstrate the protagonist as an incompetent person, at the cost of forcing the player to be incompetent, so for any intelligent person the game is just an assault on your intelligence. I've never played a game that had the balls to do something so baffling.
I will say one thing, though, it makes a lot of sense why Game Journalists loved the game when it came out. I'd imagine that if you're already an incompetent individual, Owlboy seems like it "gets" you.
I feel like it really pays off with the big reveal and the ending though
What's the twist?
Stop playing the game
Batman went from fighting criminal to fighting Power Rangers villains, Batman will now have to join the power rangers. It's basically a genre change
I wouldn't say it's a good twist but it's an excellent ending with an excellent message regardless.
Kill yourself newfag trash.
No it isn't. It's like 10 hours, 15 tops when playing regularly and going for all sorts of side quests. It's like Kotor except there's only two planets.
You're wrong about Jack's mother.

the whole point of Spec Ops is that you are prompted to stop playing, as it is a critique of the shooter genre. You need to stop in order to be able to not commit atrocities. The shooter genre always presents you with the chance to be a hero without the chance to do so morally. Spec Ops takes the formula and confronts you with the consequences, asking you if you want to pay this price to be able to feel like a tough guy.
Never played owlboy so I can't attest to this claim, but of course I agree, there are ways of doing it right. I just finished playing through Walkind Dead Season 2 (replaying for the final season) and I felt the choice of Jane and Kenny was well done. Both were out of their minds and had problems, both were tryign to do what they thought was best, both were endangering each other and those aroudn them etc, but you still gotta choose who lives. Unfortunately, the rest of that whole series you could put the controller down and pick the silence option and it makes little to no difference to the end result.
>dunkey actually shilled for this game
i lose respect for him a little more each time
What was that message?
I miss when Pokemon tried.
He was always a slimy cunt though. Especially the way the talked you knew something was up about him.
This game was so fucking underrated, it might even be my GOTD
This game had a twist?
why couldnt he just train you and fight beast 2 vs 1?
>Not the High Entia
>mfw going back to Alcamoth
Your rival is a bit of a space case who doesn't quite understand how humans or Pokemon work. Then you hit the last act and find out he's literally a feral child the big bad picked up in the woods for the sole purpose of grooming him to game the dragon's fealty.
That there are times when the Masses collectively believe or support something, but lack the capability to really understand why it's wrong. It required the contestants of this killing game to go through what they were going through in order to realize how terrible the situation that they were originally fans of truly is.
It also says that the masses are often willing to subject people to cruel and unusual circumstances for the sake of their own entertainment, something that's reflected in the videogame industry because of how mainstream game developers are forced to work under extremely cruel conditions because consumers choose to support the publishers that put them under those conditions. Studios like Bioware or Dice are not bad studios inherently, they were not only made terrible but EA subjects them to absolutely awful working conditions that makes life stressful and makes it impossible to get work done efficiently, on top of stifling creativity.
It's an absolutely excellent message that videogame players need to hear, especially considering the current state of the industry.
So your assumption ends up being true. It just gets an explanation.
Only if you have played System Shock 2 before.
>Play mostly nintendo games
>Never get to experience sickmad plot twists
The greatest "plot twist" I've had the pleasure of experiencing in recent years is "oh shit Lysandre is the bad guy?!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!?!"
Somehow missed out on Kirby Robobot, which I hear has a neat twist.
No one ever mentions this. I was pretty shocked when it happened.
Explain
This got me because I'm a massive moron, but still was retarded and pretty obvious.
Was this a twist?
user, that's not a twist, it's just backstory, and a terrible one, as expected from fucking pokemon.
Get basic standards of storytelling, ffs.
Both of the Baten Kaitos games had their moments, but pic related caught me really off guard.
Honorable mention to the origin of Malpercio in the second game.
>not the final boss of XB2 when TODAY WE SEIZE OUR DESTINY, AND FELL A GOD
I've been meaning to watch this for awhile, I loved Paprika.
Thanks for reminding me, user.
I liked VLR but nothing will top flipping the DS upside down to play some sudoku. 999 is a masterpiece.
Not that guy but I thought that moment in XB2 was pretty good. Even better knowing that those two scenes syncs up really well which makes me think the events from both games are happening roughly around the same time of each other.
The identity of C in Cold Steel.
pic somewhat related.
the only twist to cold steel is the shit taste going around
Did you like his sunglasses?
Eh, if you're gonna bring up Cold Steel Twists, Sky had an identical twist during the epilogue of the first game as well.
Why does no other game have a system like the codec calls? I loved just trying equipping new things or going to new environments and then calling people.
Time+money+effort+attention to details is underrated
Reminder that the real Miller was a racist scumbag.
He came back in both of the next games so that kind of ruins it
MGS2 did it better. A simple spot check on Miller could have avoided half the conflict while 2 your whole support team pretty much turns on you or might not have even been real.
Kinda dark for a children's game.
Was no one else shocked by this?
>Igor has a new voice because his VA died
>New voice is substantially different
[Spoiler]>Igor is really Yaldabaoth impersonating him for the full game
>Real Igor is released and has his original voice, done by reusing voice clips from other games
>Dub version misses this lovely twist and recasts the VA for Real Igor too, instead of reusing their still living existing voice[/Spoiler]
Honestly baffling how hard they fucked up
Nice spoiler retard
so basically my pic?
I can totally understand why no one liked some nihilistic horse shit in their game.
They did check on Miller, it took time to get to him because he lived in the middle of fucking nowhere.
The JP cast was so good I get why they didn't even try to compete
Not having ctrl-s on phones is the true pleb filter, it seems
M. indian kniw shamlinglion twist tiers, officially approved.
>top tier
Villian was your friend all along, amnesia, waifu was taken by your best friend
>mid tier
That (consumable object) is people! subtle mind control, obvious NTR coming
>low tier
You were dead the whole time, you're in a simulation
>hack writer tier
It was a dream all along
Thought you could outwit an onion?
Sort of, yeah.
those were clearly different voices though, that was never the original onion
Having ctrl+s do something else than save the page is even truer pleb filter.
ghost trick was such good fucking game holy shit, the second best twist for me would probably be 999's ending
i dont get it, is she getting raped off camera?
Apollo's adopted father who was helping you through most of the third act and who you're defending in the game's last case, [/spoiler]was murdered before the case even began. Dude was possessing Maya the whole time[/spoiler]
No one new will understand how good this twist was because they prefer the non DS version.
>a rational and logical explanation
It doesn't, though, not really. At the end of the day, you actually WERE targeted by a malicious spy and all your paranoia was totally justified. You just overestimated the number of people involved.
also the voice lines in the trailer where it implies the girl is in on it don't even play in the full game, which leads me to suspect the ending was changed mid-development
I'm seriously pissed at that, because the nonary games version does come with voice acting and a flowchart, which are nice additions. But the people who play them get the shit adventure/novel format and the sudoku is ruined.
Play 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors. The entire series of escape rooms and puzzles that you've been doing across multiple timelines has all been so you could do this sudoku puzzle for the girl and save her life, firmly taking her out of the schrodinger's cat situation her older self had been in the whole game.
>Spirit of Justice
>the title was foreshadowing
Jesus christ, I don't remember this bit looking quite so horrifying.
I kinda knew it was coming, but the reveal still hit me in the gut.
Your abilities have grown immensely. But it also does my hearts good to see that you have remembered the basics of what i taught. Even the flaws!
what about the whole "top screen being x perspective and bottom screen being y perspective all along" thing? i'm probably describing it in the worst possible manner, but iirc one screen was akane remembering what happened, and one screen was junpeis first person perspective. do the remake still have that?
>the circus outfit was absolutely needed.
i don't understand why you're saying this sarcastically
The one where OP turned out to be a faggot after all
I played 999 a while back and loved it but wanted to play the other ones, would it be worth to buy the Nonary Games on sale and get 999 + VLR and then get Zero Time Dilemma or just buy the games on 3DS?
I finished this game recently and it had me shed a few tears when I found the truth. People say AA is dead since Takumi isn't writer but between this, AAI2 and some fine tearjerking moments in DD I'd say I couldn't be more excited about it.
Just because something is fictional doesn't make it meaningless
You're completely correct, it was like that. Specifically, character dialogue and what Junpei was seeing was on the top screen, and narration was on the bottom screen. The reveal was that the bottom screen's narration was young Akane talking all along. The Nonary Games version tries to recreate this by having two modes you can switch between, an "Adventure" mode that just has character dialogue with no narration, and a "Novel" mode that just puts all the narration and dialogue text overlaid on the entire screen, like F/SN or Higurashi. Both of them are really clunky since the original game wasn't designed for either.
>two different modes
oh man, that really bums me out. wow.
Realy guys?
No bionic commando?
i've played both the 3DS version of VLR and the remake on PS4.
i'd recommend the remake, especially on something like PC so you can take notes and draw and stuff. the 3DS version has some areas that can corrupt your save if you're unlucky.
and sitting through like 15 hours of dialogue just to get back where you were can be rough.
don't know how common the issues are though, but it happened to me.
Holy shit why did I not notice that?
I recommend you just get the Nonary Games on sale. Ignore ZTD, it's simply not good. Whether or not you like VLR will be up to your opinions on the series but I'd recommend it since I like it more than 999. The Nonary Games version of 999 does have some flaws compared to the DS version but it being on PC and having voice acting makes up for most of them, so it's good to play before diving into VLR proper.
You can switch between them and will and sometimes the game will force you to switch between them like when the "I" twist was revealed, but it's just not the same.
HASEO
SURPASS YOUR LIMITS
>Massive rambling post that misses the point entirely given that Kodaka took more inspiration from franchises overstaying their welcome than anything to do with the working conditions of production teams
>
>One sentence that encapsulates exactly what the game's message was
It's like night and day.
Oh shit I just went on YouTube and saw the full voice acting on 999
It's like a new experience now, I'm hyped to play it again and play VLR
You already know he's not Siegward the second you talk to him
Most people instantly guess that he's Patches and just go along with it to see what wacky situation he 'tricks' the player into this time
It's about the character being brainwashed not you, fucking spastic
Turns out you were the play GT all along.
My favorite part isn't that Ovan did it because that part is drilled into your skull by blatant foreshadowing it's all the red herrings the game throws at you to lead you to believe he was Azure Kite
>TE has three sided blade (three edges)
>Then there's three of them (Three blades)
>Ovan mysteriously disappears from scenes where Tri Edge shows up
>Ovan looks like Tri Edge in baggy clothing to the point where it's easy to mistake one for the other when Yata shows something attacking players early on
>At least one character has two separate avatars he uses as a plot point
>Ada makes people in raving lunatics and the main thing about Tri Edge is that it's completely incapable of rational thought
> In the intro you were the real Heather being asked to describe the night of the accident
I may not like the ending, but it set itself up very well.
everything ITT is shit compared to pic related and the theater scenes after
>you finally get to the end
>across vistas and oceans, you made it
>now for the final showdown beneath the stars with an adversary who has waited ages for your arrival
>lol no, that was just the tutorial, now your caravan can fly
Because in the end of it all, Kessler wished he would die, pass on the torch to Cole and prepare him trully.
He lost everything. He failed beyond what words could show so all he had now were actions, a goal, to prepare this timeline to fully embrace his duty, his hatred for the Beast and to be ready to do whatever the fuck was needed.
Kessler knew himself best. He was and is Cole. He knew that he needed to toughen Cole and that it was the only real way.
Basically you were under hypnotic control the whole time and anytime the guy on the radio gave you an objective, he said "Would You Kindly" which is the hypnotic trigger word you've been programmed with.
Basically it's a commentary on player agency in games. You thought you were doing everything because YOU wanted to. But it turns out you had no choice the whole time.

everyone including you were all dead from the start and each new race of aliens that was introduced were also wiped out and joined us in purgatory
Despite all the plot holes and glaring inconsistencies and also lack of story I enjoyed it going in blind when I did.
The ma-non aren't dead enough if you ask me
I dont know man they seem pretty based, giving us new knowledge to advance our technology by leaps and bounds from what we were capable of. The nopon are the real jews in this ordeal.

There, I named a better plot twist
I like the original trilogy in some ways more but DD is higher in my rankings for this stuff. That final two cases where heartbreaking to watch and I honestly shed a tear when that moment happened. I feel so bad for Athena
I don't know what they'll do for the next game to get the feels up at such great levels as in the originals, this and SoJ.
Yeah I dropped my jaw too
It's a french rpg named OFF with a Undertale-esque storyline
Is this ever going to get a port
I dont know how they will handle the mapping system since it was pretty integral on the wii u controller. Probably will just have to make it a menu thing or something.
>The twist is that we made a boring game on purpose, as a joke!
Yeah map screens have literally never existed on conventional game consoles.
No Andrew Ryan died because he chose too, that was his entire point in that scene.
>having to replay the game FOUR FUCKING TIMES
That's such a meme, you can race through all those parts in about an hour total.
Dont be a smart ass you fucking nigger.
Its not said that much, and over the course of like 5 hours before the twist, its not that noticeable. Its someone who is basically asking a ton from a new arrival being polite
If you read Wheel of Time then you probably predicted it.
>meet a cute girl and start to date her 2 weeks ago
>yesterday find out she has a dick
I don't know what to do.
I hope not, fucking switchfags derail any WiiU/3DS thread with "port when?" begging. They deserve to suffer with their no games.
You're not a stray cat, you're the villains pet cat. You were basically his only connection to his old life, but you got shot by accident when someone tried to kill him (granted, he was already dead).
Look user I'm never going to own a Wii U
Everything leading up to this.
ryan got the dancer prego, not the girl at the new years party though she did like him and he thought about her in one of his logs.
I haven't played Owlboy, but I'm interested in this because of how bad you seemed to have found it.
What's the context?
The evil lawyer twist was not remotely surprising.
I wasn't referring to the last chapter stuff but the end of ch4.
I was pretty reserved about it because what came to my mind was "yeah that's amazing and explains why he can master languages so fast but what interesting things are they going to do with it in the sequel"? Also it was put in at last minute, it's only a miracle the game supports it and makes Atreus' language abilities a bit cheap since they weren't thought out beforehand.
What was more interesting to me was realizing that all the runes that highlight climbing and whatnot were drawn by Fae as she was taking the same journey you take in the game so that she could point the way. What is/was her intention?
Sure I know what you mean but let's face it you knew the lawyer was evil as soon as you saw his face.
Depends. When I played it when I was around 10 I didn't see it coming but then again I didn't pay that much attention to the story. When I replayed it years later it was incredibly obvious that you or a member of your crew was revan.
>glasses
>fat
>in kiseki universe
>has portrait but always sidelined and seemingly unimportant
yeah checks enough flags
That image represent you perfectly
oh kek that pic
that's pretty good
W-what do you mean i'm not not the hollow knight
Ryan made you kill him because it was his core philosphy.
He knew he was dead at this point regardless of what happened and chose his own method, while simultainiously forcing you to confront the mind control directly.
the very best
first time "i was only pretending to be retarded" fooled me
I played in Japanese and that twist blew my fucking mind, because it was such a play on meta expectations.
That wasn't really a plot twist.
I don't think anything in that game is a plot twist, since you're never really made to believe otherwise. The biggest "plot twist" is zote being 0 damage boss fight.
It’s fairly obvious. Having cutscenes and dialogue especially after taris make it even more so.
>SNAPE KILLS THE TOTALLY GAY CHARACTER
not that user but the problem with Spec Ops is the player is more than likely going to take issue and either not want to play anymore or find another way to do things. But when the game doesn't allow you to actually do that it feels more like some arbitrary design choice that you HAVE to take regardless of whether or not the player actually wanted to
KOTOR was such an amazing game.
LMAO, stay buttravaged you fucking seething morons.
It wasn't obvious to me when I played it, no. Then again I was 12 when I played it. But yeah it was a pretty cool twist. Not the best twist of all time I'd say, since if I remember correctly, throughout the game they allude to you having an unknown past. So throughout the game your character is trying to find out answers of what sort of past they had. It was a pretty cool twist though.
The best "plot twist" in Hollow Knight is when you fight the Mantis Lords in Godhome.
>Kotor vs Kotor2
Fuck you retard make your own thread and fight me there
>Do everything to save this girl
>She's a murderous, treacherous whore and isn't worth saving
K-Kino?
I don't care how old it is or how low bioware has sunk, you being Revan was really awesome as a kid. On par with Ghost Trick imo.
>all of this lame neet incel crap for trump voters with anime avatars
Now post some POWERFUL plot twists.
was it really a twist? don't you get the gist of it if you listen to the audio logs n shit?
Only ZTD straight-up makes Akane a crazy murderous lunatic without any sort of excuse for it.
The issue is that it falls into exactly the same trap that AA1-3 did- having terrible things happen to the main cast for the sake of bringing the plot relevancy to people we care about.
The Fey family were constantly being offed or Maya was being imprisoned or kidnapped in the original trilogy and it just barely kept from getting ridiculous, but you could clearly see where it was going. The plot needed to have weight, so it needed to be about the recurring characters, so we wind up in an insane situation where everyone Phoenix knows or cares about is having all their family murdered.
And hey, there's the same shit with Athena.
came here to post this
Kalas in baten kaitos
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
>I'm Big Boss, and so are you
Only real Gs remember this
>So throughout the game your character is trying to find out answers of what sort of past they had.
No, not really. It was played out that the MC was a blank character storywise which is somewhat typical on an RPG. Sure, he had exceptional Jedi skills but that's expected in a video game. It wasn't obvious at all. You weren't on a mission to find yourself, you were on a mission to stop the sith and you were brought on accidentally.
In retrospect it's obvious though with all the hints and how the story plays out. But when playing for the first time with no prior knowledge it's not something you see a mile away or even suspect.
She gets people killed in the first game.
>She gets horrible people who forced kids to play a killing game killed
Yes and?
Lol
He must mean healing with potions because there is no Pokemon Centre between E4 bosses. And there is no other character or bed or anything to heal your Pokemon either. Potions is the only way.
Politely ask suck on it of course
This and the Yunalesca stuff with Auron was cool as fuck
How the fuck has no one posted this yet?
Probably the most interesting addition to the remake
If you know anythimg about norse mythology this is revealed the second time you meet freya.
because it wasnt a plot twist you underaged gaylo fanbou
So that warning basically means there are characters in that game based on real people?
Figured out Atlas’s true identity pretty early on when I found that hidden tape from fontaine and realized they look suspiciously similar. Didn’t see Would You Kindly coming though.
Having played ff7 for the first time recently i knew about cloud being a "clone" of sephiroth since i've seen discussion about the game forever, but this shit threw me for a loop because i had never seen anyone talk about it, or if i did i was never paying any attention, it was really cool that there was stuff about this 20 year old game i didn't know
I knew the twist from the start and was still surprised
>Yeah let me recall this story
>So I was the hero who fought the bad guy and died trying to stop him
>Haha just joking about spending the entire time rifling through Tifa's underwear drawer
beat this you faggots
If anything, the plot twist in Halo CE is that the Rings only kill potential Flood hosts and not the Flood directly.
Turns out the apocalypse did happen and everything on earth god destroyed
You're killing the machines trying to terraform the planet again
I just like this kind of stuff.
are you saying i'm dumb or just making a point about how stupid it is that tifa never called cloud out for his shit?
Too bad it serves literally no purpose
I liked this, although I think I would've appreciated it a lot more if it wasn't tied up with essentially the same "you are the chosen one" stuff bioware always did
>tfw you’re not the only person who remembers OG M&M games
I still got those fuckers on floppy discs somewhere.
I just think it's funny that Cloud spent so long with her panties and nobody questioned it.
It was certainly an obvious looking back on it sort of twist but I didn't see it coming either.
this is when reyn first grabbed the monado in the lab right? what's the twist? what did i miss?
>spoiler
This statement always makes me mad. Is it just parroted by people who never played it?
Chapter 5-8 aren't nearly as long together as chapter 1-4. Hell, I'd say they aren't even as long as a single of those chapters.
The only frustrating part is how fucking retarded your whole party acts through all of it.
who the fuck is that girl supposed to be?
FPBP
He also occasionally slips into very American phrases that an Irishman wouldn't use.
Like American football analogies "every time we get a yard ahead, Ryan moves the goal line to the other side of the field!" and advertising terminology "the camera can analyze genetic information, parse biological structures, and a whole lot of other 'five-dollar words'".
It drops hints about Atlas not being who he says he was, but the idea of the protag being a a two-year-old supersoldier under mind control was something no one say coming.
>Your Mom is the first audio log you pick up, his mistress.
>criticizes others for not getting the plot
>completely mistakes one of the most basic elements
Bruh, Ryan had several women he slept with. Jasmine Jolene is your biological mother, who was a stripper at Eve's Garden. She's the one Atlas bought the fertilized egg from.
First audio diary is from Diane McClintock, who was one of Ryan's mistresses but turned into an anti-Ryan radical until she was killed by Atlas when she discovered he was Fontaine.

Stone fucking cold.
Am I missing something? The wiki says nothing about her.

In a weird way I respect that, desu. The guy seeks things beyond his current understanding and admits it. Shows some humility and curiosity.

Absolute kino.
Malva, a member of the Elite 4, being a high-ranking Team Flare officer, was a bigger twist than Lysandre you dumbass.
Does a twist count if everyone sees it coming?
Undertale has it.

"An ideal is only an ideal after all. As long as you embrace that ideal, the friction with reality will continue to increase. So you will someday face reality and will have to pay the price for your compromises."
I was still in high school when I played it, and the plot twist took me completely by surprise. It's possible I'm just not that bright though.
youtube.com
Maybe I'm retarded, but the scene that played with this fucking theme caught me off guard
It did matter a bit. You also saved the DNA bank that has everyones' and everythings' genetic information. It's just nobody knows where or who the electronic consciousnesses are stored in now.
Oh that's easy it's the conduit. It's the linchpin in all xeno games and also what connects every xeno universe together
No mind to think...
Also what do you mean or who? You think Elma is an Aegis or some shit?
glad I gave this game a second chance, it was kino
>Custom Robo
I was such an autismo about this game when I first played it. I got a little pocket notebook things and pretended it was the protag's day planner. I made up whole little plotlines set after the main story. I would write in names of people he'd caught, appointments, social events. At one point I wrote "DATE WITH MARCIA" across the whole page and underlined it because I figured he would be that excited by it. I did a story arc where he got "traded" to that other bounty hunter group and partnered with Evil.
Mira isn't purgatory you absolute fucking moron. Please don't mixup your own retarded fanfiction with shit that actually happens in-game. Mims running on something other than the Lifehold doesn't mean every biological races are dead.
Ha, this actually spoiled 999 for me. That hack managed to use the same twist twice but in different consoles.
I like the twist in Unavowed
You play as someone who was possessed by a demon but gets rescued by a secret group that polices the supernatural. It later turns out that the possession was really a summoning: you're a sociopathic killer, and you intentionally summoned the demon (which is really more like a benevolent spirit) into you so you could use its power. Then the exorcism instead removed your human soul (because the it was meant to remove a "wicked spirit," not specifically a demon). All this time you've been playing as the demon, trapped in a human body and thinking you're him, and the "demon" you've been hunting is the real human owner of your body.
Well then cope with the fact you need a Wii U to play Wii U games.
Then explain the quest line about the greatest genius of his time who invented time travel and HE could not even figure out why he could not escape the planet? Not even fucking space or time could you escape the planet which means it is something much greater than anything.
Fucking moron.
Purchase lube
The player character has zero memories and is unknown to any survivor in New LA, and crash-landed near the city. I think he or she is acting as the database.
Also possible. But feels like a smidge of a cop-out at this point since the conduit wasn't mentioned at all in X.
Also explain how all the alien species could be perfectly understood by one another despite not having any kind of translation device to interperet these new species that they have never once encountered before and would not know the language at all.
Joshua is the best faggot
Anyone of you play the Switch port yet? What shit was added?
You can see it coming a mile away, but when the twist occurred, it was pretty memorable. The 8492 doesn't exist!
New pins, more music, and Neku dies again.
So it's just a shittier NieR
It's the beta version of Fiora
Wait so what was so plot twisty about that image then?
Sequel bait
user, the reason your character has no memory and yet everyone is bending themselves backward to make you a member of BLADE and monitor your advancements is because you're a J-body like Yelv. It's also why you're the only survivor to come from a pod instead of already being part of the skeleton crew.
I kinda liked it. Far as I'm concerned, the computers holding all that info were destroyed, but the info in them were absorbed by the planet and just freely shared to the respective mims. Same way the planet somehow facilitates communication between alien species speaking different languages and how it draws ships in and keeps them from leaving, Mira's a sentient planet.
There's something about this planet
It's the Zohar
No idea. Maybe he's alluding to the fact the Monado can't cut people which means Faced Mechons are people
Ah, see, I never finished Yelv's side quests. Or anyones' for that matter. Way too much grind for skell parts. Shows what I know.
Do I want to know?
Being Neku is suffering, user.
tfw you get cucked so hard you turn into an eldritch abomination.
Fucking hell. What a load of shite.
I don't know how many of you actually played it, but Second Sight had a pretty good twist "It's not the past, it's the present!"

>still don't know what this means

The main twist about Thomas Zane writing the whole thing years earlier as a way to kill the Darkness got me good when I first played it, but the "it's not a lake, it's an ocean" just left me confused.
>I miss Hideo, he was the sould of the MGS series, Kojima was just dragging its corpse around.
It's one man, Hideo Kojima. The REAL twist is that he is both the visionary creator and the mad destroyer of MGS.
Okay, I only played it once at release so my memory is really hazy.
Throughout the game, you are looking for 3 Macguffins to make sure the big bad of the game doesn't have them because they would give him the power to conquer the world or something. Right when the villain is about to get the last thingie, he gets betrayed by one of his hooded minions who reveals that he is actually Solus, some timid owl-guy you know from your home village. So far, so good.
Solus takes these 3 objects of power and goes somewhere to perform some sort of ritual with them. Your party of characters chase him and keep saying stuff like "I can't believe you're betraying us and doing all this bad stuff". Solus occasionally says "Just let me do this! You don't know what you're doing!" or whatever. It becomes painfully obvious that Solus is doing something to HELP the world and that, for some reason, your party does not understand this at all and Solus also won't just explicitly explain himself and instead does a "It isn't what it looks like"-thing that all bad movies do.
In the final room of the game, you find Solus sitting there, performing the ritual. I, knowing that he is doing the right thing, did not want to interrupt him or initiate a fight, so I waited. Once it became clear that his ritual-related speech bubbles were looping and that I HAD to interrupt, I attacked him. Then you have to fight Solus, prevent him from saving the world, after which he FINALLY explains that he was just saving the world, and then the main character sacrifices himself to reverse his own fuck-up and save the world again.
Not a single important event of the game was changed by the main character. All he really did in the end was fuck something up that led to his own death.
Damn, here, didn't even see this post. Always glad to see someone else actually played these games.
I really hope we get a third entry some day, there's so much untapped potential in both the world design and the gameplay systems.
The real twist for me was that they pilot the faced Mechons. I was expecting something far more gruesome, and figured out as soon as you couldn't do anything against Metal Face that people were in those Mechons. I just expected it to be brain-in-a-jar, instead of Gundam.
what game is this? Looks interesting
This got me by surprise
One of the most intense in a child's game.
Custom Robo's greatest plot twist was when it asked you what shape the world was.
And then if you answer round, it calls you an idiot.
>game is literally about dreams
I didn't play the series till about 2009 (always going back to PS1 games i missed, even to this day) and i saw that mildly coming but it was still pretty sad
PS1 is full of "feels" games
The story is that you're a man who is exploring a cave system which has a long history of being used for various things, in the long distant past there were weird cult things going on in there, after that the cult got flushed out, killed and then the caves and the lakes within were used as a sort of witch-trial area, where people were killed by being drowned in metal cages. This gave the cave system a reputation of being a haunted place where all the ghosts of the dead are trapped forever.
You are exploring the caves with the use of new and somewhat experimental equipment which uses a head-mounted display and laser imagery to build a 3D representation of the cave for you to see.
The game starts with the character at his little camp site, as far into the cave system as he can go, deciding that as this is the final dead end he may as well leave with all the data he has already collected.
Along the way to the surface you pass back through other little camps you made and unpack addons for your scanner which enable extra modes for extra scan detail.
You start to see weird shit on your way back that weren't there on your way down.
The scanner picks up the silhouettes of people that aren't there
You hear awful noises
When you reach the drowning pools there are things in the water
When you reach the surface you find your wife and child, then scream as you are dragged back down into the caves, down and down, through the whole system, back to the start of the game
Where you can now find your dead body, exactly as it was when you died in an accident
The myth was true and everyone who dies in the cave is trapped forever repeating their attempts to escape for all time
I liked that if you pay attention you aren't finding new upgrades for your scanner, you're walking backwards through the experimental device slowly breaking
Read the filename my guy.
There was a twist?
[The main menu theme starts playing in-game for the very first time]
I tried the first BS quite awhile after it came out, at least a couple years after Infinite and hearing how split people were on that game, i have no experience with the System Shock games either beyond trying an emulated version of the first and realizing it was a game too early in the life of PC gaming that i just had no mechanical experience with (was born in 91 but beyond basic shit and console to PC ports I had no experience with old PC RPGs) so I just didn't enjoy it
Regardless, i thought BS1 was fun/neat, ive considered trying 2 since i hear its mixed as well but id like to try infinite someday and see what the fuss was about
Hey, nice job Sigurd, you you returned from your Jihad and accidentally conquered half the continent on the way
I'm gonna throw you a party, your whole army is invited
Oh, by the way, here's the woman I married, but suspect is your former wife
Oh, by the way, you're ashes now
Oh, by the way, I just dropped meteors on your army
Why is it that i could only ever play through the GC custom robos story?
The rest all just didn't pull me in
To be fair its all tournament battle stuff but why was that one the one they tried to make a plot for, even if it was pretty silly in some spots
