Biggest Plot twist/revelation in a game.

[violent_quiche]

The first cinematic of Super Mario Galaxy, where it is revealed that Bowser is the main antagonist and kidnaps princess Peach.

I had to compose myself after discovering Ganondorf was the central antagonist in Windwaker with his dastardly plans to take over the kingdom.

OT: "Would you kindly"?" does it for me. I even had a couple of hints before I played and it still gave me goosebumps when the moment came

 

[GrymZero]

Alice: Madness Returns. Just saying, the whole Dollmaker thing? Jesus.

 

[Servantes]

Id have to say Crackdown 1 had a hell of a twist that I didnt expect, and Kessler from inFamous 1, that was out of left field and into a cave as to finding that out.

 

[octafish]

Ah, I finally get to meet Polito...

...shit...

...I should have listened to Xerxes.

 

[Nargleblarg]

I thought Bioshock's twist was not only unexpected, but really made you think.

 

[EGtodd09]

If Black Ops was more subtle and I hadn't had it spoiled the Reznov twist would've made my mind explode.

 

[captaincabbage]

The identity of the precursors in Jak 3.

THREE games worth of build up for these guys and the payoff was absolutely brilliant.

oh yeah, I was about 14 when Jak 3 came out. Naturally I fuckin' lol'd.

OT: The ending of Shadow if the Colossus. It doesn't have a very prominent story, but the twists in it are engaging.

 

[NinjaTigerXIII]

The reveal of the Precursors In Jak 3, that was just awesome.

 

[Space Spoons]

The secret behind Nathan Spencer's bionic arm in Bionic Commando was a pretty big surprise, if only because it made no damn sense.

 

[Rabish Bini]

KotOR's been said a thousand times already, so I'm gonna say Meatl Gear Soild 2: Sons Of Liberty

Spoiler

You play as Raiden and not Snake

 

[thethingthatlurks]

For me it had to be the proper ending of Nier, though i know most of you probably didn't play or tolerate the game long enough to get the final ending, But any game that makes you delete all of your save files and watch as your inventory is destroyed deserves a special mention.

It blew my mind watching 40 hours of my life get deleted.

Indeed, one reason why I love that game. Well, sans the stupid adventure text portions. Yeah, they might fit, but it's still annoying...

Anyway, here's my favorite plot twist, that's actually not a twist at all if you've been paying attention:

Spoiler: Silent Hill 2

God I love that game...

 

[Nick Rauen]

the only twist registering in my mind right now are from comics

 

[Kiefer13]

Haven't read all of the replies, but it's undoubtedly been said a dozen or so times by now: Knights of the Old Republic. You know the bit.

 

[Archangel768]

No Final Fantasy X? I mean seriously. I agree that KOTOR was really good but I still can't believe someone hasn't mentioned this yet.

Major Final Fantasy X Story Spoilers.

Spoiler

1. When Tidus finds out that he's been a dream of the fayth all along.
2. When Tidus finds out that Yuna is going to die.
3. When you find out that Auron has actually been dead for the past 10 or so years.

 

[Greatjusticeman]

When Pliskin in MGS2 is actually Solid Snake....

^_^

Just kidding.

I can't really think of any other then Bioshock or Kotor. Maybe...when you find out the blind prophet for the bandit leader in Fable: TLC is actually your sister from awhile back? I was shocked when I saw it, and I was like 11.

 

[endtherapture]

The plot twist in The Witcher 1 where it was revealed that

Spoiler

Alvin was the Grand Master, and had travelled back in time, and the little boy you tried to protect was your enemy all along

Literally blew my mind, it was only hinted at right at the end, but then you see all the little things in the game actually point to it. It was crazy.

 

[Kermi]

FEAR2 was kinda a WTF moment.

You mean the very end bit where Alma uh... gets impregnated?
