[DigitalSushi]

System Shock 2:

When you finally get to Dr. Polito's office, only to find that she's dead and it's been SHODAN controlling you this whole time. Right near the beginning of the game, my friend said "I bet you any money, this lady talking to us isn't even real." When we got there and found that he was right, we were simultaneously shocked and amused so much that all we could do was laugh and stare.

Same thing with the big twist in the middle of BioShock. Man, I really did not see that coming.

... Is it just me, or do the Irrational Games/2K Boston/Australia guys know how to do that sort of thing really well?

You laughed at the "polito lifeform is DEAD, insect!"

Wow, I feel like less of a man now.

on topic, Flood, that was a shock, and the "super weapon" Cortana stops you from firing, yeah I was like damn you plot twists.

[T-Bone24]

I don't know how to 'spoiler box' so therefore I'll censor everything I say.

I thought the plot twist in (censored) was really good when it was revealed that (censored) was not the main villain and that instead his (censored) was in fact the main villain and he was simply the tool in the grand (censored) to (censored) all (censored) (censored) an that the real reason of (censored)'s motivation is that he was in fact (censored) by (censored) the whole time and was unaware he was being (censored)

....life withour the spoiler box sucks... but at least no one can accuse me of telling them the end of the 'game with the name that I will not give'.

Super Paper Mario? That or Mass Effect.

Mine would have to be

Spoiler: Mass Effect

When Saren himself has been indoctrinated by his ship. Also finding out the ship was alive really caught me by surprise.

Damn, that's a good game.

 

[curlycrouton]

In terms of shock value, it'd have to be the Tibbit Scene from Condemned:


For plot twists...well none, really. I'm pretty perceptive when it comes to foreseeing plot twists.

 

[The Ambrosian]

The Part In Gears 2 Where You Find Doms Wife.

 

[MarxonSR1]

Mass Effect at the end and I'm not going to bother adding the plot twist. If you're really that interested find out the story on Wikipedia or I could just be a little more specific.

Spoiler

Where you find out Sovereign is actually alive, or at least a simulation of life.

 

[Christemo]

[*spoiler]at the end of Heroes of Might and Magic 5 (not any of the expansions) Isabel is shown to have red eyes, meaning Biara (a succubus commander and 1 hell of a *****) has taken place with her. that was really "what the hell, i just saved you from Kha-Baleth, The Demon Sovereign".[/*spoiler]
