That isnt twist, the twist is the movie is about making a horror movie, which was also easy to see.Baldur Moon said:

I instantly knew that Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time wasn't doing his thing for purely evil reasons. At least at first.
And I was proven right in Wind Waker. When he mentions at his defeat that he only wanted to help his people, but his hatred for Hyrule and their winds of peace got the better of him.
I am just going to say if I can't see it coming most of the time it's bad. Didn't see the ending to Mass Effect 3 coming. I think that's the last time I didn't know in recent memory. If you wan something specific Metal gear solid 4.
It's hard to get me on a twist, even if I don't say so I mostly know what's going to happen next. There is only like 26 different was to tell a story or something when you brake it down to it's roots.
In the second act they someone said Snake was going to die then in the third act Big Boss "died" and I called bull shit on both of those I am like no Snake is going to live and Big Boss isn't really dead. I would also like to point out it was the first metal gear solid game I had ever played, so it's not like I was some pissed off fan.

In Persona 4, I figured out that...
...that Naoto was a girl pretty much the instant she spoke, frankly, I feared for the intelligence of the games universe for everyone thinking she was a he. I mean, she had a female voice actor, and she really looked like one too. I confirmed it when she got thrown into the TV, I knew her shadow would reveal it. I yelled out "I CALLED IT" out loud the second it was revealed.
Clearly a girl!
Still my favorite instance of this was when I watched the ever shitty Day After Tomorrow. When Dennis Quade and his 2 friends went out to go find his son, I turned to my mom and said "Mom, Dennis Quade is going to lead his friends out in horrible weather, the ground will crack underneath them through an earthquake or something, Quade will go "no! Grab my hand! Hold on!" his friend will fall and die". Sonofabitch it happened, the only twist was he fell through the top of an old mall, but that is more cliche hunting than anything. I can be a real pain in the ass in spotting plotlines and twists through cliches though, I had to train myself to shut up so that at least others could enjoy the film.
I have a really bad time with this. I don't know whether I just read way to many mystery books in my formative years or something but the vast majority of the time I figure it out before the protagonist or whoever. Maybe like 95%.
It's actually quite annoying and I don't even think I'm that smart.
There was even an episode of 'worlds strangest mysterious crimes' or something that I was watching with a guy I was seeing and I solved it before they even said what had happened in the end. He freaked out and started saying I'd seen it before or I was psychic. :|

I was actually hoping that we would get a Vietnam CoD.Dr. McD said:
But no, another game with SPESHIUL FORSES that have the same AI as their conscripted enemies. I wouldn't mind CoD going into a more complex plot but they delivered it all wrong.
At least they had good levels. Loved the snowy ones.
Character deaths and such I can predict but the twists in mystery stories... It's not that I can't solve them myself it's more that I don't want too.
See I once solved the ending to this one mystery manga that I have honest to god forgotten the name of and it was just.... Meh was that it? No surprise "oh shit dafaq was that?" moment? Oh... Boring
In my opinion if you figure out a mystery story's ending before due time then the writer has failed. It's just not exciting (to me at least) when the twist is revealed only for it to be that thing you figured out 3 episodes ago.
Not that you shouldn't be thinking about the mystery, that would be silly. You just shouldn't be actually capable of solving it with the pieces they're giving to you. Withholding the last final piece of the puzzle if you will.
Look at the Higurashi anime. Constantly throwing out clues, other clues that aren't actually helpful, red herrings and stuff like that while still maintaining it's mystery.

First one that springs to mind:
There were others, but can't really remember them all right now. Oh wait, there was this one movie (can't remember the name, it wasn't any good anyway)
But yeah, my paranoia leads me to always question every action anyone takes, so I'm usually good at predicting that kind of stuff. In real life as well, but I usually keep that for myself, people often get all freaked out when you deduce their true motives from their actions, they often start thinking you're stalking them or something, even if you're just connecting the dots. So I learned to play dumb.
when I saw Fight club I quickly realized the truth about Tyler Durden. In the scene where he, himself, and his "girlfriend" had a conversation, and it was only ever her and one of the two others in the same room. She never encountered both of them at the same time. Also, the things she said.

where the Earth had been evacuated, and everyone was living in decaying space stations orbiting it. There was this planet (I think it was called Rhea), that was said to be habitable, and a true paradise. When they first mentioned it about 5 minutes into the movie my first thought was: "huh, obvious plot twist, Rhea's gonna turn out to be a simulation.". Turns out I was right.

In 'The Genesis Code' by John Case, I had the plot solved by around the 25th page and I'm not even exagerating. The policemen asks a question about a murder, gets a REALLY random answer and it's almost impossible not to make the link straight away.
I really enjoyed the book, though I wish I hadn't developed the theory so early as it meant I saw a lot of the future events coming.

Persona 3.
When it turned out Shuji Ikutsuki (the chairman) was actually trying to summon Nyx. I always thought something was off about this guy. Some of what he said just didn't make any sense and he seemed to have a general disregard for privacy or safety. Plus they never explained exactly why he was connected to the Dark Hour, which I assumed was for big revelation later on. When he turned on them I wasn't surprised in the least.
First time watching the Sherlock episode The Hounds of Baskerville, I guessed the twist.
"It's gonna be a hallucinogen, isn't it? One that makes people see a huge evil dog." He stared at me and replied, "Well, we might as well not bother with the episode if you're going to guess the plot before it starts."
Yeah I was going to say the same thing. I just kind of ended up with that a feeling it was true with no real explanation. On reflection, I guess the dream sequences are what really give it away.Jakub324 said:
That's definitely past the mid-point of the main storyline. It's pretty much the last thing you need to do before moving onto the Red Forest and the endgame.ksn0va said:
I had my chips on the security guard who was watching the camera. I still think that would have been a better plot development.Eddy-16 said:
