Thanks to System Shock 2 I had the Bioshock twist worked out by the time the family rescue went south. So unimpressed with BS compared to System Shock 2. Weak sauce all the way.
Yeah yeah, and I'm pretty sure System Shock 2 got that twist ending from Metal Gear Solid...-_-

Nothing is original.

phew,it was a loooooong time ago,at one of my friends ps2,dont remember the games name,it was something with time manipulation

you start out the game and constantly shift from the past and back to the present and at the end it turns out that when you shift to the past,that's the present and that the present is the real past

I wanted to say biosock,but it was said 1000 times,then system schock 2,but that was said too,so I said the 3rd one that came into my mind

Too many twists in games now a days so to me the best plot twists are when there are no plot twists in a game :p

What a twist! :eek:

Maybe the ending to MGS1, finding out that not only does Revolver Ocelot really work for the President of the United States, but that the President really engineered the entire incident to make himself look like a dipshit. (or something like that)

Deus Ex ranks up there too, but choosing just which of the plot twists was the best from that game...well, let's just there are too many to choose from.

Assassin's Creed II's 'alien astronaut BS' was maybe the best as in "Best to totally screwup any chance at being grounded in reality."

"You cannot hide from what you once were, Revan! Recognize that you were once the Dark Lord - and know that I have taken your place!"

I never saw it coming that I was Revan.

KOTOR got me good.

I didn't see the Bioshock twist coming, but I wasn't all that impressed by it either.

A fucking baby??

Just about every other twist in the MGS series counts too.
Precisely why MGS is the furthest thing from my mind when discussing quality plot twists.

Probably Assassin's Creed.

When Al-Mualim, first stabs you, at the beginning, and later, when it's revealed he's the bad guy.

When you realize that everything in the game is made up from Garcians head, fucked up, fucked up indeed

I would say Bioshock.

The first time was awesome but by the second time I already knew it so it wasn't that surprising. Oh, and I found out that I could have avoided the surprise (a little bit) if I just listened to the audio logs.

Now exactly a plot twist but in World in Conflict when...
You find out that you are authorized to use a nuke to stop the Russians at Cascade Falls. That alone was pretty crazy, but then when Bannon volunteered to stay behind to lure the Russians into the nuke, I felt so bad for hating him the whole game.

Hey, I know everyone has said it a million times already, but theres a damn good reason they are.

Knights of the Old Republic/Revan. Nothing else even comes close.

1. Lost Odyssey well it's not so much of a twist as a revelation.
The true past and origin of the five immortals. I underestimated the depth it extended to.

2. Uncharted Drake's Fortune
The true nature of the treasure.
