Largest plot hole in a game?

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

I was wondering yesterday which game I have has had the biggest plot hole, and I realised that it was probably in Super Mario Sunshine.
Princess Peach was Baby Bowser's mother? What was up with that?
So come on people, what do you think was the biggest plot hole you've ever seen in a game?

EDIT: After being told what I was wondering about 10 times, this post has been deleted by me as I know now how they did it.

You didn't finish the game, did you?

Hey, if a game lacks an actual real plot, does that mean it's been swallowed up by a plothole so big that it encompasses the entire universe? In which case, I vote casual puzzle games.

I did, but nothing came up on the matter. Care to explain it to me?

Nope, Bowser just told him that so he would kidnap her.

So he's running out of reasons to kidnap her, and so he just made on up?

Probably the Mario games and how, after doing it more times than I can count or even remember, Bowser is STILL able to catch the entire Mushroom Kingdom off-guard and kidnap the princess. I mean, you'd think that after the second time they'd always be on the lookout, but nope!

In the end cutscene while both bowsers are on some wreckage or something similar, they discuss that Bowser only told him that in order to get him to kidnap Peach

Well, seeing as it is never explained, how the Russians got to America undetected in MW2.
And I will now prepare to be told how by someone hopefully.

Spoiler

The ACS module that you were sent to steal in the first level had a shit load of information on the US satellite defense system. It was copied, so the Russians could disable the defense long enough to slip over the arctic to America.

I think. I am too tired to remember correctly

And that is how babies are made they did that

Ah. That would explain it.
Cheers.

Where are the Hk-50 droids comming from in KOTOR 2? Come to think of it most of the game is a big gaping plot hole.

The game was largely unfinished, but the Hk-50 droids were sent out by the Exchange to kill jedi.

Not really a plot hole, but in most games i wonder how things got there with so little resources, like in Fallout 3, how the hell did they get all those pipes into project purity? Or how long did it take to build black mesa in the first place?

No, he made up a reason to motivate his son to kidnap her.

Ohh! I get it now. Cheers for that fellas. But now I feel like a bit of a dingus having started up this forum.

The only one I can think of in recent memory is The Saboteur. In one of the earlier areas the Brits blow the living hell out of a building full of prisoners which you free and then hide in the basement. AFTER the Brits have blown the building to shreds you come out and everything is perfectly back to normal and it is now your base of operations. WHAT THE FUCK!

and explain it, i shall-remember in "cliff hanger" where you were told to retrieve an ACS module captured by the russians? that ACS module is a key component in the surveillance systems for the US. and probably the russians were able to crack it, thus allowing them to freely bypass the american surveilance systems.

Not really. You'd think at least one other country in Europe would notice a bloody invasion force crossing over their territory.

Spoiler

The Russians are clearly coming in from the Atlantic anyway, and just because one ACS module got nicked doesn't mean that the US and every other world power lost all things like radar, or in the case of Non-USA countries, their fucking satellite capabilities.

Plus, this is bloody America people. They don't have one defence system, nor do they tend to keep it going and trust that it still works after it has been captured. The USA would have contingency plans for something like that going missing, and they would have never trusted data that had been captured by a hostile country.

Just accept it as a plot hole. Like how a nuke can cause a shockwave in space, or how a nuke can be launched from a submarine into space, or still work in space.

Or how the hell Price ended up in that Gulag and never took the opportunity to escape before.

In almost every RPG I can think of has a huge flaw in timed logic.

"Oh, I'm supposed to save the world from the incredibly evil horror that's going to engulf the universe in a few days. OK, just give me some time while I get this guy's laundry."
