Biggest "I did not see that coming" moment in gaming

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Most of the plot developments in Silent Hill 2 were a complete surprise.

Haha, especially this.

Spoiler

Maria getting killed for the THIRD time in the hotel...Dammit, die already!

 

[Nabster]

Being killed by your master in Jade Empire did it for me

When it turned out the combine soldiers weren't on earth to dispense icecreams and lollypops.

 

[Da_Schwartz]

ITS A COOKBOOK!! Oh wait a minute..that was twilight zone. -_- My bad. I'll post my real answer in the next version of the same damn thread tomorrow...

 

[FredFredburgur]

Really? I thought

Spoiler

it was meant to be incredibly obvious, to highlight how bad a position Altair's in, because you can tell that, at least from half-way through on, he damn well knows Al Mualim is evil, but still has to obey him.

Yeah but it surprised me even though I did see it coming and it did make oerfect sense.

Basically the whole point [http://www.deltaheadtranslation.com/MGS2/DOTM_TOC.htm] of Metal Gear Solid 2 is to do whatever the player doesn't expect.

"I need scissors! 61!"

In FF7 (Final Fantasy 7) When...

Spoiler

Aerith/Aeris (Depending on your version of the game) gets Killed by Sepiroth.

Seriously, when I was a kid, I NEVER saw that coming.

You really don't need to use spoiler tags for that... [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItWasHisSled]

 

[Arcyde]

Gears of War 2

Spoiler

When you find out that the locust queen is a human.

 

[Disaster Button]

Man I'm really hating myself now for reading Bioshock's before I played cos the whole would you kindly thing wouldve really suprised me something fierce, and I never got to experience the plot twists. Woe...

 

[Traun]

Hitman bloodmoney: When diana sticks the sringe in your neck and betrays you.

She helped you, pay attention to the story next time.

 

[Sparrow]

Fallout 3:

When Fallout Dad dies. I should've seen it comming, but I was like "NOES, DAAAADDY!"

 

[Eisenfaust]

mine doesn't really have any effect on plot... it was just hilariously surprising...

in the prologue of fable 2 when the kid bully headbutts your sister... was NOT expecting that...

 

[egwidalin]

In KOTOR 2

Spoiler

when kreya turned on you after capturing all the jedis,she seemed so nice the whole game... also it seemed kinda pointless for her part

 

[teutonicman]

The nuke in CoD 4.

 

[Juan Regular]

The nuke in CoD 4.

Jep, didn't see that one coming at all.
And the twist in SH2.

 

[Lekonua]

KOTOR and Bioshock's plot twists would've been such moments, except for the fact that I have a bad habit of reading detailed plot synopses of games before I play them.

I still pretend to be surprised though.

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

Ever have one of those moments when you think you got the story line down and then they take a U turn and your like, DAMN! Here are some of my best story plot twists.

Knight of the old republic: When you find out your darth reven and you are actully malaks master.

Hitman bloodmoney: When diana sticks the sringe in your neck and betrays you.

Bioshock: Would you kindly mindcontrol.

Bioshock really got me, but i found it out on the internet before actually getting that far in the game, so bummer.
