This is why Halo has an attrocious story. They needed to commission real writers to save its scattered plot using the non-gaming medium of literature... a bit of a loss, since more than half the Halo fanbase can't read I'd wager.philosophicalbastard said:
I suppose that means it belongs near the top of the WTF list, so it fits well here.
Was it absolutely necassery to attack the game and its fanbase? That whole little thing at the end was just a nod to people that read the books. I mean even Mass Effect has books so does that mean if they off-handedly mention some of the backstory in the sequel you'll automatically crucife it.ZombieGenesis said:
Now before this gets to off-topic or worse develops into a flamewar we should either drop it or go somewhere else.
EVA's Chinese!? News to me...I must've missed that.MatParker116 said:
Anyway, for me...
Final Fantasy VIII - The fact that they grew up together wasn't didn't throw me for a complete loop but I was still "WTF? They didn't know this before?"
Final Fantasy X - Sin is Jecht. I actually laughed when I heard it. xD
Metal Gear Solid 3 - EVA totally playing Snake the entire game. I guess it might've been obvious but...not to me.
Metal Gear Solid 2 - Raiden's life is a lie. o.o Well, the part with Rosemary anyways.
Resident Evil 5 - Jill! I don't think I need to say much else there.
I can't really think of anything else right now.
Assassins Creed: grr i am an old man with amazing powers and somehow i get killed by a man with a sword
You weren't the only one. I didn't take her down to Noveria because I was convinced she was going to turn on me. To be honest, that would have been more interesting. It's funny how the character they sold as being the primary love interest was actually one of the least-likeable characters in the game. I don't know if it was the way she spoke or the damsel-in-distressyness of her, but there always struck me as being something...odd about her. The only redeeming characteristic I could find about her was that I found her hilarious to impersonate. XD I think I've almost perfected my 'Liara' voice.SonicWaffle said:I called the Liara situation totally wrong. After her all-too-convenient encounter with the Geth and the weird blue defensive shield...thing she was trapped in, I was suspicious. Then after missions, she'd start reaching around for Shepherd's head doing God knows what, after which she would very suspiciously have a fainting attack and have to go be alone for a while. I was convinced she was a double agent, rooting out your secrets or strategies and using her alone time to record them or transmit them to someone. It made a lot of sense when I thought about it, and I was kinda dissapointed to find out she was just a crappy characterbadgersprite said:
It's not really a plot point, but this has to be mentioned...
Oblivion...Why the fuck would you kill off Patrick Stewart in the first five minutes? Really now? You couldn't have his disembodied voice floating around in the back of your mind somewhere? Seriously, if the Fable Guildmaster had had his voice, I wouldn't have cared that he never shut up. At least the game redeemed itself by actually givingBoromir I mean Sean Bean lines. I love Oblivion, but, honestly, the fact that I was listening to Wonder Woman Lynda Carter when I could have been listening to King Lear Patrick Stewart is kind of a cop out.

In Tales of Symphonia, the entire back story for Regal (I think that was his name, not sure).
So Regal is an ex-convict who always wears hand cuffs. So instead of fighting people with his hands, he beats the shit out of them with his legs. The problem with this is the reason why he refuses to use his hands. This evil fat guy turned his girl friend into a monster, so he had to kill her. He used his hands to do this. So after that he willingly throws himself into jail (because he considers himself to be a murderer), and vows never to again use his hands for violence.
That's completely retarded. He's perfectly willing to brutally kill people if he uses his legs, but he considers using his hands to be taboo. It only gets worse the more you learn about him. At one point he talks to his dead girlfriend (don't ask how), and even she essentially tells him to stop whining about killing her. He still refuses to use his hands. Then near the end of the game the party gets locked up in an impenetrable prison. None of their magical abilities can help them escape. Then Regal creates a Hadoken with his hands to blows a hole right through the cell doors.
Yes, Regal apparently has insanely powerful hands. Which he refuses to use, even when fighting to protect the entire fucking world. But there were even events earlier in the game when he could have used his Hadoken for non-violent purposes and still made your job far easier. It's a massive plot hole.
Oh yeah, before he threw himself in jail, Regal was a blue-haired, multi-millionaire, kung fu master.

one thing I never understood is why Gordon Freeman, so popular, well-educated and wanted by the Combine and the G-Man....never says a damn word!
that bugs me, at least Nathan Hale talked but noooo, the leader of the whole resistance movement apparently can't say one word and nobody even calls him on it, like "hey Gordon, you gonna answer me or what?"

Kingdom Hearts 2: Don't you know who I am? I'M with Organization XIII! Heh heh heh.
Me: ... I killed half of you guys in the crappy GBA spinoff game. I'm not impressed.
Kingdom Hearts 2: Uh. .... um... well you know that guy who said he was Ansem in the last game? He wasn't! CHRISTOPHER LEE is the REAL Ansem! That guy was just a poser, and this one's a good guy!
Me: Well, I approve of Christopher Lee. How many lines does he have?
Kingdom Hearts 2: ..... Like four.
Me: You are scum and you're cheapening the storyline of the last two games immensely in shoehorning this obviously pulled-from-your-ass-to-LOOK-more-complex bit of garbage into your plot. You know that this plot twist has NO context, right? That's like if in Saw, Jigsaw turned out not to be a fake and one of Jigsaw's victims was actually the real Jigsaw. AFTER the Jigsaw from the last--what, six movies? I don't keep track of these things--died. The Jigsaw we've been attached to as a bad guy is suddenly just nobody, with no context to take him in and little discernible motivation other than sheer psychosis, and the guy we're being told is the real Jigsaw is also basically nobody since he doesn't even have the motivations that the poser is supposed to be stealing any more. It's not deep, it's not interesting, it's definitely not mystifying, it's just confusing and pretentious.
Kingdom Hearts 2: Oh yeah!? Well the organization's gonna kidnap your girlfriend to force you to kill more Heartless!
Me: I was already doing that. Now I just have a reason to go straight to their front doorstep and kick their asses. That's illogical and stupid and makes them look even less competent than Pete.
Kingdom Hearts 2: .... Xemnas is an anagram of mansex.
Me: YOU ARE SCUM AND YOU MUST DIE.

I've said this before is another similarly-themed thread I think but Far Cry 2.
"Hey I know you've been trying to kill me all this time but what say you go blow yourself up to halt our pursuers and I'll escape with this suitcase full of diamonds and shoot myself in the head later. Waddia say?"
"Okay that sounds like a perfectly reasonable plan!"
I know there's also the option for the roles to be switched but either way entrusting your adversary with a suitcase full of diamonds under the promise that they will later shoot themselves in the head while wilingly climbing a mountain to blow yourself up is just retarded either way you look at it.

Why does the joker use the titan serum on himself (that doesn't seem like him at all and I wasn't expecting it.) also how does he retain his sanity(or thereof) when all the other guys become overaggressive lunatics.
