Another variant is when an earlygame dungeon, but not the first one, does the same thing and it winds up even more unexpected as a result.
Daniel King
Off the top of my head, TWEWY and Persona 3.
Leo Johnson

>except for one person sitting down facing away from you
Lucas Hernandez

I was thinking that the only way the presentation could be better would be if the music were as good as Gwyn's and then that happened.

Miitopia also did this, oddly enough. That game surprised me.
Cooper Lewis
>Villain names all follow a theme
I don't really know why, but I think it's cool.
Isaac Edwards
>Enemies are scared of you
Whether it's used as a gameplay element like in the Arkham Games or just a story thing like Ace Combat or Doom, I love this.
Asher Lopez

e.g. the stadium in Jak 3. Gives me chills every time

This is what Armed With Wings is known for, since Vandheer is a total fucking badass and beats AWW every time until he gets his godmode.

Benjamin Cox
Every mother fucking case 6, when you start pulling the seams apart.

>Enemies can surrender and start pleading for their lives the moment they notice you took out 3/4ths of their crew
God Bless Metro Exodus for doing this at least.

I think Ace Combat 4 was the best for this.
>first mission, is your character's first combat
>later on allies start noticing you and your deeds
>you blow up the superweapon AND shoot down an "invincible" enemy ace
>enemies start shitting their pants in fear when you are in the end "TANKS ARE LIKE COFFINS WHEN HE IS IN THE AIR"
>the final mission gives you a squad
>the entire enemy faction collectively shits their pants "All of them have ribbon insignias!"
Austin Gutierrez
>Title screen theme is a basic version of the credits theme
youtube.com
Ryan White

>New route is unlocked that lets you play an alternate reality where a children's toy game is popular and your in it to win the tournament.
Man why don't games have any cool post game shit anymore.
Joseph Cox
The one who trained you and was your father figure is the final boss.
As much as I hate the fucking RNG in this game. Damn it was enjoyable to cheese it. I wish someone comes with an English translation for one of the newer ones. Anyone here played them?
Xavier Hill
Fucking owl damnit, still glad that his mikiri counter is the same as your deathblow on him
