Sylvarant's pilgrimage of World Regeneration is actually a campaign to destroy Tethe'alla. And vice versa.
It's gotta be Gemini Rue for me.
The two character's stories are not happening simultaneously. Delta Six and Azrael are the same person.

The Precursers are freakin' OTTSELS! Genius.
As for the best..."Would You Kindly". No contest.
I have never been more shocked at a game than in Bioshock. It made me reconsider what it meant ot be a character in a video game, and since that day I have a running narrative in my head no matter what game I'm playing, to make my actions mesh with the world around me.
But for all those people talking about Portal 2... what about the original?

After the final test chamber, you discover that Glados intended to incinerate you, and has killed all the other human in the facility. Why is this so awesome? Because prior to this moment, you had very little clue that there was even a story in this game! You thought it was just a simple physics puzzler and are happy you've beaten it when oh no storyline. Every good twist in Portal 2 stems from that one moment where they took it to the next level.
Ikutski is a back-stabbin' sonofabitch. And the 12 full-moon shadows were created so that Nyx/Ryoji wouldn't be released.
Adachi is the murderer. Who knew?
Jeffery is Super Hero Aurum in disguise. He built Mao to become an even more powerful Overlord than his father. Once Mao can kill his father, Aurum will kill Mao in order to gain his popularity back.
Yes exactly, in the early episodes I didn't really like Kenny very much but closer to the end I've realized how much he is like my family now and we've got each others backs.anian said:
All in all it's an amazing game which I recommend to anyone who wants a game with an exceptional story and characters.

At first I thought the whole story was a massive Final Fantasy X rip off. Go to Temple, do puzzle, main female character should die at the end. But then the whole Tethe'alla thing hit, and I was like. woooo!
Most of the great ones have been named, but I did always enjoy this one too.
Your whole campaign in Northrend, killing Arthas' high ranking officers, and him boosting on how you're insignificant.
At first it seems that Arthas is doing the whole terribly underestimating the player and will be shocked at how strong you are in the end before you kill him.
But it's totally not the case, he's training you, he's leading the best of the best towards him in order to crush them and make them his own. And he almost succeeds.
Only, and ONLY, because Tirion Fordring shows up with the now Blessed Ashbringer the players are saved from eternal serving the One True King in Undeath.

Uhm a lot of the ones I would say have been taken, like Bioshock, KoToR and Final fantasy, so I guess I'll say something else but something that was really good...
Both of them, where it turns out you're actually a human who's been turned into a human and in the first one where the pokemom try to kill you because they think your what's causing the end of the world or the second one where it turns out your from the future, such good games!
Turns out your best friend is the prince of the moon kingdom and that he brought you into their world, implanted fake memories of you two being best friends so that when it came time to act and save the world you would. Also at the end where the Diva is restoring the world and you get sucked back into your world and your friend can't save you, sad 
How in the world could you see that coming? It was totally out of left field.[/quote]varulfic said:
If you collect the dead drops then you can potentially realise that Sasha wasn't just spouting off random psychotic bullshit during the fight. That's really the only hint iirc though.
(OI SPOILERS)i don't know how to use spoiler tags but don't read this if you haven't played the game)Blue Jay said:
it did kinda spoil the game for me when i realized (through acts 1-3 anyway) that kenny is the only one worth being nice to as everyone else get's fucked
I'm probably the only one on this but what about the original Saint's Row?
Or Mafia II
When Julius is the one that blew up the boat?
Or Mafia II
"Sorry kid. Joe wasn't a part of our deal."
Yeah that one kind of threw me for a loop. First time I got to that part I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.Mydnyght said:
Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet, Darkness II.
I saw that twist coming from the beginning of the game, but I still enjoyed it.
Bastion
Grandia II
Prey
Mass Effect Trilogy
Knights of The Old Republic
I actually had that one spoiled for me, but it is still a very memorable twist.
Final Fantasy VI
It turns out the visions Jackie was having about his dead girlfriend wasn't the Darkness messing with his head, but the Angelus who had taken Jenny as its new host.
Bastion
The Bastion as actually a machine that has the power to reset reality, perpetuating an endless cycle of destruction and rebirth with nobody being any the wiser.
Grandia II
Granas(God) is actually dead, having been killed in his battle with Valmar(The Devil). Then it is revealed that Pope Zera is actually the main villain, and is attempting to take Valmar's power for himself.
Prey
The Keepers turn Tommy's girlfriend--who he had been spending the entire game trying to save until that point--into an abomination... and Tommy is forced to euthanize her himself. Then it is later revealed that the entity that has spent the entire game chiding Tommy was a Human once.
Mass Effect Trilogy
Sovereign is actually a Reaper... and the Mass Relays and Citadel are actually a Reaper trap designed to keep Galactic civilization from getting too advanced.
The revelation about the Keepers.
The Collectors were once Protheans.
The Protheans were actually a very brutal empire who forced lesser races into subjugation, instead of the benevolent Paragons of society that we had been lead to believe until that point.
EDI was the Rogue VI that Shepard "killed" on Luna in the first game.

You are Darth Revan.
Final Fantasy VI
Kefka betrays and murders the emperor, destroys the world and literally becomes a god in the process.
KOTOR. I actually knew it was coming. I only got the game last year, which of course meant that I already knew the big plot twist. Still blew my mind anyway. In fact, I'm goign to go watch that cutscene now.
Grandia where...
Also, from the same game...
Finally, in Wild ARMs 1...
Leen commits suicide in an attempt to stop Gaia. The music played during that scene was a tear jerker.
Leen is resurrected by the Spirits after Justin and Co. smash Gaia's tainted Spirit Stone
Finally, in Wild ARMs 1...
You find out Rudy is actually the equivalent of an android - possessing a human likeness but with a metalic body, much like the "demons" he, Jack and Cecilia were fighting throughout the game. It also explains why he is able to command the use of ARMs so easily in the process
