Didn't the comics say he is too much sane and the only way to cope with this is to end up like he did.ciortas1 said:

Quoted and paraphrased from the book:Hopeless Bastard said:
'that wasn't what Blake found on the island. He found a collection of missing scientists, working upon a monstrous new life form. upon learning the creature's intended purpose, Blake's practiced cynicism cracked.'
Expressly stated in book that Blake did not know about the teleporter, just the plan to:
'Frighten governments into cooperation, I (ozy) would convince them that Earth faced imminent attack by beings from another world.'
So in the book, Blake discovers a group of scientists working on an unknown creature, somehow (this is never explained) learns what it's going to be used for (so a plot hole in the original novel) and gets upset because he understands it is an end to war. That part is also expressly stated, its only the goal of it which makes him upset, the rest of it he understands to be a practical joke, the largest ever conceived, which is stated to be professional envy.
Movie: Rorsarch and Nite Owl break into Ozy's penthouse, open up his computer with a ridiculously easy password, find all of his files on Manhatten, and the Pyramid Project, and though they don't know the full extent of the plan, they know Veidt's behind it, and they go to investigate.
Comedian is a sanctioned government official, so he would clearly be able to do all of this and discover Veidt's involvement, and Manhatten's role. So basically all that we have to accept is that the Comedian was able to draw a link between the energy work of Manhatten and Ozymandias, which he would also know about, and he's got the entire plot. The only plot hole is why Ozymandias was keeping all of this information in one room, on file.
So upon reflection, the plothole is in fact bigger in the book, and was largely plugged by the movie, since it doesn't rely upon the Comedian managing to spot, from several thousand miles up in the air, an island which he knows for a fact isn't on any maps, and then once he's found what would appear to be a bunch of special effects people for a movie, somehow managing to discover the extent of the plan. The book makes even less sense in retrospect.
I didn't think I would ever have to type that.
Let's not forget that technically Borgia knew or Da Vinci, and saw most of his designs, so aftersquidbuddy99 said:

That and your family stronghold becomes a family vacation spot, so why doesn't he just invade that bad boy?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't she going to do that precisely because Grim was feeding her information about Reed's under-the-table affairs? Thanks for the idea though; that part of the plot makes a little more sense now. Do you have any idea about that first complaint, however?Two Angels said:
Knights of the Old Republic II has several gaping plot holes the most obvious of which is...
The Ebon Hawk (a ship) falls into a chasm and is destroyed. Yet at the very end of the game you see the Ebon Hawk fly off into the Star Wars equivelant of a sunset. AHHHHHHH! Illogical and absurd!
Since when does the main character know that they are in a game much less what the chapters are calledDisaster Button said:

How could Scott Shelby have murdered the type writer shop owner when if I was playing as him at the time? There may have been some time lapse, but I remember the man walking into the back room, you walk around a little, then you say you are going to check on him, then Bam! He's dead.

It just says that you somehow survived the radiation and went into a coma for a week or so. You wake up in the BoS base.
I don't know if there are plot holes, but Kingdom Hearts is pretty much the Lost of gaming.Urgh76 said:
And I agree with MW2, btw. That game was full of massive plot holes. At least the gameplay was good. *shrugs*
It is implied-- and there's a huge portion of the fanbase that believes this-- that the "real world" is just another Matrix intended to convince the humans that they're free; or that the Matrix eventually repeated itself several times over and the entire world is just a computer construct.Snarky Username said:
Okay, as much as I loved Mass Effect 2 there were some gaping holes...
Okay, the main one would be why the *hell* would Shepard take his entire team onto the shuttle with him to go to thier next objective whilst thier ship is installing a dangerous, untested device made by the Reapers. Surely they'd be on full alert whilst it's happening?
Also, what the deuce was the deal with the beginning - the station's being attacked, Wilson was the traitor...then it's forgotten forever.
The Derelict Reaper as well - to quote Mass Effect 2 Abridged:
"[Shepard]: So let me get this straight...we're going inside a Reaper? Like, an actual Reaper? The mysterious enemy that we've been trying to understand for the last game and a half? We're suddenly, in the middle of the game, with no buildup, just going to walk around inside of one? A Reaper. Just saying."

Yup, that's the one. Its THE most glaring plot hole I have ever encountered in anything, even if there had of been a loading screen or perhaps you changed characters and came back but were still in the same place. But it pretty much ruined the games for me. I was planning on several play-throughs...this thwarted my plans.chromewarriorXIII said:
