What's the most confusing game plot ever?

[Soundish]

Why is the nuke in a submarine if it easilly reaches the US from it's base?

Submarines carrying a nuclear payload have a huge range and can attack without leaving their base. Nukes are put on submarines for the mobility and the protection that having a mobile missile silo can afford you.

At first Chrono Cross was pretty confusing, but after playing through it 20+ times, I think I've got it. By the way, what's Killer7?

 

[T-Bone24]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2006. *shudder*

 

[MetalDooley]

I pretty much gave up trying to make sense of the MGS series plot when they started talking about the LeLaLuLaLo(or whatever the fuck it is) in MGS2

 

[AWAR]

Nikopol.
uuuuh???

 

[Guttural Engagement]

While not actually confusing; one can get totally lost in Morrowind's storyline if you don't pay attention.

Try playing Mass Effect 2 before playing Mass Effect 1.

 

[El_Glovenator]

Silent Hill if you didn't read up, MGS 4

 

[TheEarlOfGrey]

Oh god Bayonetta's was wierd.

Some ones I've had difficulty at first:
1)Resident Evil
2)KoToR 2, hell even KoToR
3)MG and MG2
4)When I was a kid, the whole MGS series
And for the MW2 story, if people actualy played the orginal Modern Warefare, it'll make more sense >_____>

Final fantasy VIII wasn't confusing so much as it was utterly fucking botched. As if it was designed by ten different teams all with completely different ideas of where everything was going.

Then, suddenly, utlimecia and amnesia.

Also, middle-children sequels can't count, as they're designed to raise enough questions to sell the third game.

I'll agree it's a bit on the choppy side, but it still has flow to it and is one of my favorite games.

what was up with subject 16's video in Assassins Creed 2?

Have you completed the game? it makes a bit more sense if you do. (I got the video after I completed the game though)

that's supposed to be confusing, their gonna clear that up in a later game

I don't think it was confusing, it just left alot of unanswered questions. Made sense,

Spoiler

it was Adam and Eve, but instead of Adam and Eve from the bible, it was the actual Adam and Eve, who must have been part of the ancient race from the ending. Dunno why they were running though...

OT: I'm gonna say the story to 'Mafia' was the most confusing I can think of.
Or perhaps Doom 3. It had cutscenes that were sso far apart I kept forgetting why IO was doing what I was doing... It would have been much simpler had they just went for Doom 1 and 2 storytelling scheme... I.e. Monsters from hell have escaped. Kill them.

Recently, COD MW2. I don't know if it was confusion as much as feeling disjointed because the game was hopping all over hell like it was created by a 14 year old with ADD who was free-basing pixie sticks in between shots of Jolt cola and Redbull slurpees. To be fair, I did start (and complete) the campaign pretty late at night. Maybe, I'll run it through again and see if I catch something more out of it.

Don't bother. I've gone through wice and it still doesn't make any sense. I'm still trying to work out how Russia managed to sneak their armed forces into America without anyone noticing. My biggest issue is how no one mentions that Price launched a nuke at Washington. It's made out as a huge twist, but no one cares after the mission's over.

Dig-Dug....Why does a miner have a bike pump?! Why are dragons attacking him?!

 

[Daedalus1942]

So Escapists, I just spent the last day trying to figure out the plot of Bayonetta and it's making my brain hurt. So I was just wondering what was the most confusing game plot that you've experienced is?

Modern Warfare one and two's story were fairly convoluted and pointless as was Stalker Clear Sky's.

 

[NBSRDan]

I've never played it, but I have to guess Lost: Via Domus since it's based on Lost.

 

[OpiateChicken]

MW2, for the reasons everyone else has said.

Also, I was wondering in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, does Sonic only chase down Robotnik because he burned his forest? Did he not get his chili dog? Does Knuckles only care because his sleep got disturbed? I mean, I know he's an Echidna and the protector of cloud city, but why was he sleeping in the forest in the first place?

Aside from that, I really didn't get the plot from the first Rainbow Six: Vegas at all. What did the government of Las Vegas ever do to that girl? Why did she bomb the French embassy in Mexico... what did the French have to do with anything? What motivation did Gabriel have for joining her and betraying you at the end?

Have any of you played Siren Blood Curse that's a real mind fuck
