Biggest Plot twist/revelation in a game.

[Annoying Turd]

What can change the nature of a man?

the woman in PS:T was a big moment

 

[Hoagster51]

Gotta go with Kotor. Didnt see that thing coming and easily first thing that comes to mind. I am actually struggling to think of another good one in a game I have finished...

 

[TheMelnibonean]

System Shock 2...the Shodan reveal. Nothing has topped that.

 

[A Gent of Villainous Intent]

What Wheatly did...

It made me cry.

The part where he kills you?

Earlier

 

[Katana314]

Oh, I forgot because I tend to put them all in the same basket. I'll put it in spoiler tags, but I'm only revealing the questions that eventually get answered in an astounding way.

Spoiler: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

Who killed you?
Who WERE you before you died?
Who is Ray?
(Near the end) Why eject the command room of the sub?

 

[Razeluxe]

Persona 3 kinda got me. My favorite RPG ever.

 

[Thundero13]

All the Layton plot twists due to pure unbelievable silliness

 

[Ilyak1986]

Three words:

Belay that order.

More or less set the plot for oh...the rest of that series, give or take?

 

[bootz]

the bad endings in myst.
Wing command 2 when shadow dies so early in the game.
Dreamfall When you found out what wati corp is doing.
need more Watillas

KOTOR, but for a special reason:

Spoiler: Serious spoilers

I was playing as a girl on my first playthrough, and I assumed that Revan was a man. They NEVER use a pronoun for Darth Revan until AFTER the identity is revealed. I paid attention to every bloody line of dialog my second playthrough, I swore to god they had referred to her as a dude.

Using some latent sexism against me?

You're so cute Bioware

I literally fell off of my couch.

KOTOR was pretty brilliant, yes, but i'm going with Jade Empire. that whole game was a lineup of masterfully thought up, redicolously well laid out gambits. if you played it, you know exactly what i'm refering to. if not, then go and do it! now! i'm friggin serious!

this.

I kinda saw Jade Empire's twist coming but KOTOR's I had no idea.

Bioshock was good too had to replay the game and really listen to the dialog

 

[AT God]

It is possible to predict what the plot twist is by defining the title, Second Sight has the best executed plot twist of all time. KOTOR had a great one but it wasn't pulled off very well and Bioshock, while having my favorite plot twist, it wasn't executed well. If you want a good storyline, one of the best, play Second Sight.

Also, the plot twist in Manhunt 2, while predictable, was very impressive. And any of the many Max Payne plot twists are pretty good.

 

[Kahunaburger]

Witcher 1 has a pretty awesome one, made more so by the fact that it is implied rather than explicitly stated. Suffice to say that it includes one of the more interesting choice mechanics I have seen in any game, ever.

 

[Pierce Graham]

KOTOR's Revan twist. Did not see that coming.
And Jade empire's Glorious Strategist twist.

 

[violent_quiche]

The first cinematic of Super Mario Galaxy, where it is revealed that Bowser is the main antagonist and kidnaps princess Peach.

I had to compose myself after discovering Ganondorf was the central antagonist in Windwaker with his dastardly plans to take over the kingdom.

OT: "Would you kindly"?" does it for me. I even had a couple of hints before I played and it still gave me goosebumps when the moment came

 

[GrymZero]

Alice: Madness Returns. Just saying, the whole Dollmaker thing? Jesus.

 

[Servantes]

Id have to say Crackdown 1 had a hell of a twist that I didnt expect, and Kessler from inFamous 1, that was out of left field and into a cave as to finding that out.

 

[octafish]

Ah, I finally get to meet Polito...

...shit...

...I should have listened to Xerxes.

 

[Nargleblarg]

I thought Bioshock's twist was not only unexpected, but really made you think.

 

[EGtodd09]

If Black Ops was more subtle and I hadn't had it spoiled the Reznov twist would've made my mind explode.
