Largest plot hole in a game?

[oppp7]

Just about everything in L4D. But that doesn't stop it from being a good game. I like it better because of the lack of plot.

 

[twistedmic]

Well, seeing as it is never explained, how the Russians got to America undetected in MW2.
And I will now prepare to be told how by someone hopefully.

I'd love to know why the airport was called the Zakhaev International Airport..
Oh right, commies name their landmarks after terrorists?
that annoyed me.

Zakhaev(or how ever the hell you spell it) was a terrorist to America and Britain. For the Russians (Ultranationalists or not) he was a hero. In America George Washington was a hero, though in Britain he could very well have been thought of as a terrorist.

Plot hole/mystery at the end of Assassin's Creed II

Spoiler

Why didn't the templar guards with Vidic use guns? I thought in the future they would have advanced past what's essentially sticks.

RPG feature logic: how can every character in an RPG carry enough items, weapons, etc. to outfit a small army?

To answer you hidden question, its because they needed him alive, and somthing tells me they knew about hte bleeding effect, so they had to be prepared.

True, but they could have captured him if they held him at gunpoint.

Most of the story in MW2 takes the cake for me, but this is the major one from MW2 that annoys me

Incoming Spoilers:
How did Price single handily get into a nuclear sub, get the launch codes, get both launch keys, AND turn them both all by himself????????
How did Price target that nuke to blow up in space during this time as well?

Price is Chuck Norris in disguise. All he did was put on a British accent and bam. All he had to do was stare at the sub computer and it did his bidding.

yet again, the bleading effect, i think the guy with the skills of 2 of the best assassin's the world has ever seen could take out some guys with some guns

Spoiler: Are you happy?

27.Why the fuck did Roach run with the plan to kill civilians?
28.Why the fuck didn't he just kill Makarov?
29.Why the fuck did Roach kill the civilians?
30.How the fuck did they know he wasn't a Rusky?

Just so you know

Spoiler

Roach was never near Makarov. The guy you play as on the airport level, is the same guy you did The Pit with.

Apart from that, you really do have a valid point.

Ooooh.

Whoops.

 

[Warped Pixel]

Oh ya don't know if anyone answered it but they do explain how the russians get the ACS module in the game I think. They say "downed ACS module" so that can only mean it crashed.

 

[Lost In The Void]

What about Brutal Legend? They never explained where the GIANT ANUS was that shat Brutal Legend out! Or how Jack Black escaped that metal box I sealed him up in before dumping it in my basement and covering it with cement... seriously why doesn't he die? Is he's the second coming of Jesus? What cave is his respawn point? Does it take three days still or have they made less silly rules and balanced it out with a more retarded character? How can you make a career out of farting, masturbating and yelling at a microphone like Micky Rooney yells at passing traffic?
I think this may in fact be the biggest plot hole ever made.

Please don't troll legitimate topics.

On topic,

Spoiler: Assassins Creed

Why didn't Lucy just give Desmond the code to escape, what could was leaving him a key that opened his bedroom door he's still stuck.

 

[Durxom]

how about in ocarina of time with the song of storms.
if you learned it from guru-guru in the future, and he learned it from you in the past, where did it come from?
cant say tarmana because its an alternate world.

Colonel: Link, you've created a time paradox!!!

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

As for the Russian thing?

he didn't drink enough Vodka prior to the killing?

General Shepherd informed Makarov.
It's that simple, really.

*GASP* how underhanded!!

That mischievous bastard.

 

[jedizero]

Which begs the queshtion who is his mother?

Birdo.
I'll wait until that manages to register.

Vomit Bags are underneath your seats.

 

[Kinichie]

Where were the Spitters, Jockeys and Chargers in L4D?

 

[kingcom]

Final Fantasy 7 (thats the Squall one right?). Global communications are non-functional and are repaired by screwing around with a radar dish. It took them 10 years to figure this out...10 YEARS TO FIGURE OUT THEY NEED TO FIX SOMETHING IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK, oh yet they happen to maintain the giant televisions in the major cities JUST IN CASE someone gets it working...

Someone watches the SpoonyExperiment...

Of course, i wouldnt touch that thing with a 10 foot poll.

 

[Drakenian]

Someone mentioned a pretty fucking big plot hole in Dead Space in the last one of these threads...

Spoiler: Plot details contained within.

When the USM Valor picks up the escape shuttle with a Leaper caste Necromorph inside it, how are the crew reanimated? Only two castes of Necromorph can reanimate corpses: Infector & Divider castes, & even then Dividers can only form more Dividers.
The point is, a Leaper caste cannot create more Necromorphs..

I think that when the Valor crashed into the Ishimura, the other castes of Necromorphs moved onto the ship from the Ishimura. Well, it's the only thing that I think would work.

[sub]Spoiler much?[/sub]

Spoiler

So why did the Valor crash? Surely a spaceship of Power-Armoured Space Marines can take care of one Necromorph.

They were unprepared? At least, that's what I got from it. And they probably didn't know how to kill them either, they probably just shot blindly at them.

 

[Woodsey]

Where are the Hk-50 droids comming from in KOTOR 2? Come to think of it most of the game is a big gaping plot hole.

Cut content, and lots of it. You were supposed to track down the factory, which you started to be able to do (HK-47 mentions that he managed to track where it's coming from) and then the quest just ends. Nothing else.

You're right, most of the game's like that.

The first had cut content, but I never even realised until I read on Wikipedia and there's only one very small reference to it in the game.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Princess Peach was Baby Bowser's mother? What was up with that?

Nope, Bowser just told him that so he would kidnap her.

Surely she'd remember having sex with Bowser.

 

[Rusty Bucket]

Hmm not huge but a lil something
In borderlands the angel talks to you before you have your ECHO system (on the bus) but then when the ECHO system is disabled she cannot?

If that sentence doesn't make sense to anyone: She is able to talk to you with out the system in the beginning but when that system gets fcuked she can't speak to you again even though she could before.

It feels like i chose the hardest thing to describe

To be fair, when the ECHO system goes down, she doesn't say she can't talk to you, only that she can't see you. It's arguing semantics at this point, admittedly, but it still stands. She may just have chosen to not speak during that time.

she hasn't had the therapy to do so yet, or she just doesn't want to admit it.

How can lego figures play guitar when they don't have fingers? Touch telekinesis anyone?
