God damn that whole bloodline thing is still going on? I remember seeing the anime and playing the 2nd game and that stuff was going on. That was like 97 98 or something along those lines
You've got the point here... still... that's just weird OoCK76 said:
like... how... do they even explain that?!
Oh god that reminded me of the stupidest most obvious and hideously funny plot twist in a video game I have ever encountered.
It was in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.
Basically there is a club that is run by Vampires (in the port part of the city) theoretically it is run by 2 twins, one is slutty and wants to suck you off (literally) every time she sees you and the second one acts like a responsible manager of the club. They are both hot (well as hot as the source engine allows them to be
) but you only see ONE AT A TIME. Hmmmmm
It's not long before I discovered (like the second meeting) that the 2 sisters are actually one person (yeah...), now the funny part starts since if you are not a moron you already know that "devious plot twist" but the writers REALLY believed you will not find out, so you talk to either one of the sisters and your character always stupidly asks "oh where is your hot sister" and they're like "oh she's doing laundry" or "oh she's getting drunk" and you are like "yeah right I know what's going on"
Well eventually each sister wants to get rid of the other one. So in the final breakdown of the "twins" (which were one person all the time) she just like runs to you in the middle of the street, with one side painted in the "slutty style" and the other in the "respectable manager style" and I loled so hard at that moment. Basically both "sides" asked me to kill the other, what made me laugh even harder was the fact that my character was like "uh? What's happening? I wasn't expecting that" xD
Eventually I killed them both and the game crushed on me. I was laughing for the rest of the day xP
That sounds like a bad masturbation joke.CK76 said:
I'm trying to think of one that doesn't involve M. Night Shyamalan... although the entire end of MGS2 certainly had me confused beyond saving.
I'm going to have to go with Half-life 2's lame introduction of Aperture science(They are just as advanced, more crazy, and have not done ANYTHING this entire time???Bullcrap!), that one lady still being alive, Alex's dad being another of G-Mans minions, and then him dieing. I was expecting the entire time that G-Man was just going to pop in and steal Alex's dad like he does every time Gordon's about to commit suicide.
With the exception of the 6th sense every plot twist that happens in everything the M.Night Shamalyan novel/movie.
The twist at the end of Reaper (tv series) made it the worst ending ever, it was a desperate attempt to squeeze in a cliffhanger.
The main characters makes a bet with the devil and is about to win, it's all heated and awesome. Then some angel guy walks in and breaks his hand, he loses, everyone is sad and they all randomly converge on a carpark while angels and fireworks fly about in the sky (?).
It was just poor in every sense.

^ Was just about to post that.
Yeh i liked the first half of the game. When they started bringing in random super martial arts i totally lost interest.

Isn't that thing with him in the background just a bug? I saw that too, but it didn't appear when a friend of mine played through it (he didn't notice at least) and when I checked that part of the "ending" on youtube, I couldn't see it there either, so I dismissed it as a bug.MadeinHell said:spoiler about ME2 said:Illusive man looking over your team in the collectors base. Yeah he is actually looking over you there. I'm not sure if I remember it correctly but right before you go to the final boss you stand on the platform and start moving, and the Illusive Man appears in the background behind the wall (somehow) and he's super huge, it's like it's a gigantic TV screen and he is just filming his face. Not sure if I described it correctly because I played that game quite a long time ago.
But don't be surprised if in ME3 Illusive Man turns out to be:
A) Working with the reapers entire time
B) Some early version of the reaper HIMSELF (the eyes) but smoking kinda puts this off although he's the only smoking person in ME2 (and 1) universe so that puts me to my 3'rd version of the story
C) Illusive man is in fact some sort of... "ancient" person. Maybe hundreds of years old, maybe more and until I play ME3 I don't know how that would be explained.
The C option seems most "possible" to me, since Illusive man acts very weirdly, he doesn't act like any of the person within the universe, he is extremaly intelligent and eloquent and has a knowledge of human psychology that only comes with a lot of experience, while he doesn't look all that old, I would personally give him... early 40? Yeah somewhere around that. And that age seems to be not enough to accomplish all that he has accomplished. As said before he also smokes and he seems to be the only person in the universe to do such a thing (everyone else is doing "high-tec" drugs and alcohol
As said earlier I might be completely wrong those are just preddictions but hey, if it turns out to be true (especially some form of option C) you know who told you that first (points finger at himself) ehe ;D
Chuck Palahnuk's Rant does it for me:
So apparently the entire story about modern day alienation and our obsessive desire for human contact is anyway possible is thrown out in favour of making the main character and interstellar time-lord!
Well it happening for more than 2 people at the same place in the same time kinda deminishes it as being a bug.Sunrider84 said:Isn't that thing with him in the background just a bug?

+ It would be a REALLY weird bug to have him in a pose that didn't appear through the rest of the game just to have him stare at you from the sealing.
And I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in wiki for ME2 I'll go check now.
Infamous
Kessler is really YOU, from the future. He went back in time (how many power stations do you need to reconnect to get THAT ability?) and now and he's trying to destroy the city in the present in order to groom you into a hero - so you can protect the the world from "the Beast" who has destroyed the city in the future.
And I'm willing to bet that this "Beast" is probably just a different incarnation of yet another future self. Like, Kessler's already tried this once with you and he failed (you took the "Infamous" route), so now he went back AGAIN to try it differently.
I mean, I love the game and I admit this story is pretty interesting, but still - I didn't expect THAT.
