Most suprising plot twist

[MetaKnight19]

I'd have to go with Fight Club, the reveal caught me completely off-guard. Also the revelation in BioShock

When you find out Yuna has to sacrifice herself to create the final aeon 3:

TOTALLY BLEW my 14 yr old mind. Don't think anythings topped that storywise :B OH YEAH SPOILER derp

I was pretty surprised by halo 2.

Don't ask me why, I knew the first one had sold more copies than god and had single handedly brought casuals into the fps market (with auto-aim and regenerating health, of course), made by a developer that before then, barely made any games worth mentioning... But I was still pretty surprised.

Not familiar at all with the Mac gaming scene, I take it? As odd as it sounds now, Bungie were pretty much revered as gods by Mac gamers for their creation of the reportedly brilliant Marathon Trilogy.

As to the topic at hand, a recent one I really enjoyed was the past of Jack in ME2. I suppose it wasn't all that shocking, but it was surprising how well it all played out.

Oh, and I agree the SO3 twist pretty much spoiled a game (and almost a whole series) I had previously found enjoyable. I still love SO2, and somewhat enjoyed SO4.. but I have almost no fond memories of SO3 at all because of that garbage.

I actually didn't see it coming when ashley killed wrex in ME1 and I was so mad, I dashboarded, chucked a chair at the wall, and then did it again.

Seriously, why did you put the twist at the end for those who haven't had a chance to play it yet?

OT: When Bruce Willis was [censored] at the end of Sixth Sense. {prompt someone to start singing "Jizz In My Pants" }

At the end of Sixth Sence Bruce Willis was dwcawrtdcd and I, jizzed, in, my pants.

I was a bit surprised on a little twist in Left 4 Dead 2 at the end of the Parish campaign, listen to the full radio broadcast on the bridge if you don't know what im talking about

The movie Chaos, it did something different for a change

 

[Songbird-O]

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean.

You know the one.

I'm a girl, and that twist left me walking funny. The game as a whole was average at best. It did have some glorious moments shining through the verbose JRPG pitfalls, despite it's horrendous ending. But everyone remembers it for the plot twist.

I'm still new on The Escapist, so I don't know if I'm going to be torn to bits for mentioning a fairly obscure JRPG.

I was gonna say about that twist damn beated me to it. Great game, one of my favourites on the gamecube (i liked it more than final fantasy 10 even O.O) and the game is not as obscure as you might think. A couple of people including myself have mentioned it on these forums before.

anyway welcome to the escapist it's nice to have more people of the female gender come and post here

Charmed. Thanks for the warm welcome.

You play Baten Kaitos Origins? In my opinion, it improves on almost everything that it's predecessor did. Especially in the voice acting and writing categories. But instead of one hard hitting plot twist, you get three, slightly lighter plot twists in quick succession. It didn't hit me quite as hard as Eternal Wings did, but still.

*better not be ninjas!

Your the ninja.

when [insert name] just up's and decides to stop helping you in, uncharted 2, that pissed me off, and annoyed me, THAT GODDAMN TRAIN! *rage*

You mean when you're trying to get the thing, and the guy screws you.
If so then that was spoiled for me when I was looking at multiplayer skins.

The twist at the end of Fallen really got me, and made me like that movie even more.

 

[loki6358]

The best plot twist I've ever seen was on deus ex i really loved that one!!!

[kilibot57]

John Travolta's fate in Pulp Fiction. Me and all my friends were yelling at the screen

 

[Anonymous Overlord]

Knights of the Old Republic caught me completely off-guard. It was the best twist I've ever seen in any medium.

maybe I'm just old fashioned, but i like the Citizen Cain style of twist, more than the KOTOR style. one where there is a mystery to be solved and that it turns out to be so out of the blue it catches you by surprise and causes you to re-examine the entire journey with great depth of thought. thought provoking, maybe even moving.

The other, a villain disappears, the hero isn't really sure where you came from but is conspicuously poorly placed at the opening of the tale. several minor hints latter (Revan may not be gone) and several really big ones (why does a smuggler have advanced jedi powers) lo and behold you are the villain (pause for effect)sooooo.... now what. in KOTOR the "twist" is not surprising if you have been paying attention at all, and on top of that has almost no effect on the narrative.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Bleach spoiler reveals the series main villain.

Spoiler

When ever Aizen faked his death and came back as the main villain, I honestly didn't see that coming

 

[A Pious Cultist]

What is the most bizar, or unexpecited plot twist you have ever been confronted with.

Mine was in Bioshock, when it tunes out that Jack was a clone...er...whatever he was.

Thanks, fuckhead.

;_; Why couldn't you have used a spoiler tag... So sad...

 

[tehbeard]

Assasins creed 2 ending, wtf?
also agree with the majority on Bioshock in ryans office.

 

[Dimbo_Sama]

The ending of Soul Reaver 2 is my all-time favourite.It took me days to get my jaw off the floor.

Oh god yes that was so good.

Spoiler: The ending in Defiance as well...

when after all the talk about Raziel's free-will his choice is to meet his predestend fate of his own volition, and Kain is powerless to do anything to save his favourite child, fucking brilliant.

The twist that Dante's Inferno, isn't actually based on Dante's Inferno, that it's Orpheus instead, that came out of nowhere. WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST CALL IT ORPHEUS?!?!?!

also,

Spoiler: Assasin's Creed

Really? Aliens?

Spoiler: Alien

that Ash was an android, there's so many subtle hints too, but when his head comes off, FUCK!

Unfortunely baten kaitos origins was never released in my country (UK) and its a shame because i want to play it so badly it hurts.
