I'm pretty sure none of you saw the oot plot twist coming (i'm talking about zelda being sheik)

I did. Then again, I had played SSBM first.

Call of Duty 4 Ending. It comes out of nowhere, makes no sense and gives you an absolute cockslap.

How did you not see that coming? Or is my sarcasm detector off again?

There are a bunch of good ones in the Phoenix Wright series, since the entire game is mystery/story driven; it's not just "I have to find a way to do xyz", but "I have to find out what the xyz is going on." So even though I posted that it has some of the WORST plot twists ever in the other thread...it also has some of the best. Although naming them would probably ruin the entire game for some people.

I agree with what was said earlier about the Flood, how they are revealed as the greatest threat of them all, and that the Covenant are bumbling maniacs by comparison.

cod4's ending i saw coming the second they acted cocky

MGS2-when you fing out raiden is a man
finding out olga (useless twat) is the new ninja

 

[sun_and_earth]

A toss up between Bioshock and Silent Hill 2.

One problem I had with the Flood that I expected to see resolved in Halo 3: If the Forerunners were so powerful they could shove all the Flood on the Fortress Worlds, why couldn't they just blow those up? Flood aren't jump capable, they would have died in space, rather than blowing the bejesus out of all sentient life-scratch that ALL life EXCEPT the Flood? I still haven't picked up the latest book, so there might be something in there. Also, I really want my theory that the Forerunners were human to be confirmed.

 

[twilight_dweller]

Super Smash Bros Brawl, the Subspace Emissary.

Where the cloaked figure turned out to be ROB.

...

Okay, it's not a plot twist, but I found it awesome and surprising, damnit!

 

[Social Pariah]

WWII games as a whole, I just don't know how they keep the ending so fresh and unpredictable, I really don't see it coming... though lets be honest, it would be nice to see the Germans win just once, that would be quite a plot twist.

Also Bioshock with would you kindly, brilliant twist, and Deus Ex was good for plot, can't think of any specific events right now, but it was all good really.

 

[The Madman]

Anyone remember Thief: The Dark Project? If so, you'll remember the scene I'm thinking of.

If not... well here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AAzkPkiImo

Still my all time favorite game cinematic.

System Shock 2's famous revelation was also amazing and paved the way for the Bioshock twist that's already been mentioned here a few times.

Ace Combat 5, when you realise that the Belkans are behind the entire Osea-Yuktobanian conflict.

Guilty Spark kinda did confirm it right before you started shooting him with the Laser.

I can't believe I forgot Silent Hill 2. Well noted.

Bioshock was immense, i was literally gawking at the screen.
Tales of Symphonia had quite an interesting one i thought.

You'll have to be specific, there were literally three million and a half in that game.

 

[SatansBestBuddy]

Phoenix Wright.

Last case in the second game.

Seriously did not see that coming.

Also, Hotel Dusk, finding out who Osterzone is, a guy you don't even know the name of when you start the game, yet is involed in so much that relates to you and everyone in the hotel.

Can't think of too many others right now, though...
