Final Fantasy 8
Stupid, out of nowhere and completely pointless.
after oh .. about half of the game all the party members remember that oh .. we actually used to all live together when we were little in this orphanage that was run by the witch and the leader of our merc group, yes and we just forgot about it until now, and suddenly it all came back
Stupid, out of nowhere and completely pointless.
How was that out of nowhere, it was suggested a lot of times along the way and I thing it was well written it didn't just come out of nowhereigissx said:
Wait, he's there? Wow. I didn't know that. This changes a lot. I had my suspicions about that guy (sort of along the lines of yours) but I didn't really have anything to base them on, so I just forgot about it. Should have trusted my gut.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
OT: Probably Assassin's Creed 2, because
aliens? Seriously? And then they went and got even dumber with the whole 2012 doomsday crap? The plot of that franchise is now so convoluted, I just don't see how they can salvage it with the last game. Also, HE HAD A FISTFIGHT WITH THE POPE?!
I don't know if this counts as a proper twist but the Human Reaper in Mass Effect 2. It was pitiful for the following reasons:
1) What was wrong with the orginial reapers?
2) It was stupidly easy to kill effectively ruining the whole idea that the Reapers were a threat
3) Seriously, a human reaper? What b-rated movie did you get that from?
It was such an anti-climatic ending to a great game it fair ruined it for me. I prefer Mass Effect because the end sequences (running along the outside of the citidal) was suitably epic. Mass Effect 2 was just a giant 'meh'

Also I find most plot twists lame cause let's be honest in 9 out of 10 times you see them coming from a mile away. For example I don't really get all that excitement over first KoTOR plot twist. I saw it coming pretty much right after you escape malak while he tries to own you by bombarding the entire planet and it gets more and more obvious with every hour of the game until it eventually HAPPENS. For me it was like "yeah I knew that" but for the rest of the world it seemed to be like "OH WHAT A TWIST!"spoiler said:
Still to this day I can't really understand what people find so great about this.
It's like being surprised that Kreia is the final baddie in KoTOR2... really? You are surprised? She told you multiple times that she doesn't really bother with good or evil and power is only thing worth grasping. HELL if you are particularly thick you are given an ANIMATED CUTSCENE indicating "Look Kreia raised and trained the 2 main villains of the game isn't that peculiar?". And still some people I talked to were surprised that she turned "evil" at the end of the game.
ARGH! I don't know why plot twists even the most obvious and usually bad ones have became "a necessary" part of every story. Can't it be like:
- "A to B" you are a soldier here is a bad guy and some epic music, bam bam! Bravo you feel victorious.
BUT NOoooooooooooooo (ironic no)
It has to turn out that the bad guy is actually your twin brother and that he has in fact boned your girlfriend who got pregnant and she has his baby. Does it make sense? NO! But it's a plot twist we MUST put it into the game...
WHY?! Just WHY!?
EDIT: Alright I calmed down a bit...
Maybe it's just me but most plot twists are visible to me from a mile away even if they are good. I saw Bioshock plot twist coming and got assured in it like 2 hours before it actually happened. I saw quite a lot of plot twists in ME2 coming (while there were not so many) and I actually AM PREDICTING RIGHT NOW the twists in ME3 (Ask me if you want but most of the stuff I predict is already available on ME-wiki).
Hell I saw all plot twists in SCRAPLAND and they were pulled out of someone ass most of the time (the game is great but the plot... urgh).
Maybe it's the fact that I spot the little details in the background like

Has that actually been confirmed of not being a "glitch" with the illusive man looking down over the final battle? I saw that on youtube, and just shrugged it off as a glitch
secondly I thought the glowie red eyes with genetic mods like what Miranda had happen to her. and what happen to sheppard if you go evil, your mods show through your horrible scars and your eyes glow red
For me it had to be in the game The Worlds Ends With You. Your sitting down enjoying the games decent plot when out of nowhere a partner you had for a good portion of the game suddenly shows up and syas that he was behind it all along and that you were his pawn to take over shibuya. a messed up ending imho.
While granted it did seem like they pulled that idea out of their asses most of the game story was okay so i kind of let that slide. also I think the only reason why it was so easy to kill was because like it said in game. it was still being built. The reaper you fought was not yet completly built.ben---neb said:
You replied with exactly what I was gonna saysinclose said:
ty good sir. It is very strange to me that a game that is dependent on its narrative(a pretty damn good narrative for a video game)completely ignored, or missed a huge plot hole that I noticed in one playthrough.
Funny story about that one: I played through the whole game thinking that we knew he was bad already and then he was conspiring with 141 and I was like "whaaaaat, he's on my team?" That was more surprising than the actual twist. It's the same thing that they did in doom 3: make a character so obviously evil you don't even realize the plot twist is a plot twist.MadeinHell said:
Actually I really liked the Infamous one.Lord Honk said:
The whole setting of the game was already over the top.
In Radiant Dawn(great game thou) when you're in the middle of a huge battle armies clashing until everyone is turned to stone except the strongest(aka playable characters and merchants)
Actually the question you should be wondering is why create a sleeper agent when all you're going to do is send him away and expect him to come back and fight his way to the target he's suppose to kill.dumblogic511 said:
Don't they usually have sleeper agent implanted into an organization where no one knows about?
Yeah.... actually I kinda accepted that without thinking too hard... hm. what really is WTF is.... wait wait wait i need asquidbuddy99 said:
Xion looks like Kairi but is Sora's other half of the 2 nobodies. Roxas + Xion = Sora... yet its wrong to make a self-love/trasvestite joke when xion turns into Sora(and if you did not know that you're an idiot because the trailer gave that away). And how Xemnas turned into mansex.... ok haha its funny in all but mansex = sexman!.... just shows the type of people we are. and finally.... the keyblade/lightsaber effect. First one man get the master blade, then oh no there are two(its ok because when the evil + good guy gets the master sword{for the chosen ONE} its ok because its a good fight), THEN all hell breaks loose and EVERY ONE GETS THE MASTER BLADE!.... come on it was better when it was the one and only..... and how come I did not get one.
Oh and to count there are a total of 11 key blade users, that I know of.
Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Riku, Xion, Mickey, the 3 people from birth by sleep, their "MASTER", and the darth maul type evil dude who totally owned in that teaser. U know the guy who flew and controled like every Keyblade with his mind.
