Most suprising plot twist

[Jazoni89]

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean.

You know the one.

I'm a girl, and that twist left me walking funny. The game as a whole was average at best. It did have some glorious moments shining through the verbose JRPG pitfalls, despite it's horrendous ending. But everyone remembers it for the plot twist.

I'm still new on The Escapist, so I don't know if I'm going to be torn to bits for mentioning a fairly obscure JRPG.

I was gonna say about that twist damn beated me to it. Great game, one of my favourites on the gamecube (i liked it more than final fantasy 10 even O.O) and the game is not as obscure as you might think. A couple of people including myself have mentioned it on these forums before.

anyway welcome to the escapist it's nice to have more people of the female gender come and post here

Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy if your not British) starts off as a mystery thriller and becomes a sci fi futuristic wank pile.

 

[Brad Shepard]

KOTOR is the biggest one to me, i also liked the one from persona 3, you know what i mean if you played the game

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

Tales of synphonia had so many plot twists that i just couldnt take it anymore. I finished the brilliant game but after my main quest changing aims before I even finished them confused me.

SPOILER

When you find out your whole quest so far is pointless and only continues the cycle of pain and death, everything you achieved so far is pointless and all the people you killed where actually working for what was actually right. Also parallel dimensions confused me also.

lost. /thread

Two kinds of people watch lost:
People who dont understand lost.
People who think they understand lost.

Plot twists till your brain explodes.
"The island can time travel!"

Spoiler: What Rosebud was in Citizen Kane.

His Sled! Just a sled!

although the meaning behind that is that that was the last item of his "true" childhood left

Spoiler: Star Wars spoiler that everybody knows anyway

When Darth Vader reveals himself to be Luke's father.

Spoiler: The Sixth Sense

When we find out that Malcolm has been a ghost all this time. Even more trippy, watching the movie again and seeing all the blatantly obvious but expertly concealed hints.

Spoiler: Bioshock

When we find out that Jack is Andrew Ryan's son, and was conditioned at a young age to respond unquestionably and obediently to the phrase, "Would you kindly?" Masterfully done twist, too, since at the moment you realize that all your freedom has been an illusion, the game takes control away from you for the one and only time in the entire game. Brilliant.

Wow can't believe that no body has said Portal yet.
That twist is so surprising that it's became a cliché.(Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about)

Braid's was awesome too.

 

[Razvelius]

The ending of Soul Reaver 2 is my all-time favourite.It took me days to get my jaw off the floor.

 

[fearofthemind]

If were going with movies, my personal favorite would have to be in My Bloody Valentine when Axel turned out to be the killer. I dunno, I was just used to all slasher stars being, well, themselves.

 

[Ken_J]

Bioshock as well, but namely the Andrew Ryan confrontation followed by Atlas's mocking.

Allot of people are going to say this.

 

[WoUlD_yOu_KiNdLy]

i cant really think of any at the moment...give me a minute "would ya kindly"........

 

[Scary_Bob]

The ending of Jak 3, when you find out about who the precursors, was in my opinion the biggest let down of storytelling twist ever. It sucked away any hopes of me taking the trilogy seriously again. Shame, since Jak 1 was such a good game too.

Yes! That really annoyed me, after all of the crazy destiny build up it basically nullified the "last precursor egg" stuff from Jak 2 with a comedy twist that wasn't particularly funny.

 

[Kiba Bloodfang]

When Captain Quark in Ratchet and Clank turned out to be a bad guy!

 

[Yukichin]

If were going with movies, my personal favorite would have to be in My Bloody Valentine when Axel turned out to be the killer. I dunno, I was just used to all slasher stars being, well, themselves.

This.


Also, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories' end twist.

 

[WestMountain]

I dont really know if its a plot twist but in Silent Hill 3...

Spoiler

..When you got to know that you maybe are just killing innocent civilians in the mall instead of monsters as you saw them to be

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

"Would You Kindly..." Need I say more?

Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy if your not British) starts off as a mystery thriller and becomes a sci fi futuristic wank pile.

yeah that was painful like watching a car crash happening and not being able to do anything about it.

 

[Kryzantine]

KOTOR should be most of the answers in here. There is no way anyone can seriously call the main twist before it happens.

They did the same thing with Jade Empire as well, except it made more sense in retrospect. The second half of that game was really fun because of it, the journey now becoming far more personal. That game was really good, and it's hard to understand why it's so forgotten now.

 

[PrimoThePro]

I'm probobly gonna get ninja'd but, Jade Empire. i was actually emotionally mad at that.

EDIT:crap, ninja'd.
