Which video game has the best plot-twist, ever?

Yeah, I know, I know. I will most definitely forget something in the poll, like Final Fantasy VII. But I felt that these were the best canidates. Sorry, Final Fantasy VII...

In my opinion, it's BioShock. It doesn't have the best storyline (That one goes to Super Paper Mario or Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn), but the twist was unexpected. I liked the way they presented it, too. It reminded me of Saw with all the flashbacks.

I realize I just made a thread, but... :D

most of them on the poll are xbox games...so i wont vote,thread....mehAce132

Only one is an exclusive, and then there's one other that's multiplatform. :? There's two 360 games, two PC games, and one PS2 game. How are "most of them XBox games?"

I don't own a 360, anyway.

How can you miss out the first KOTOR, it's a sin to not have that game in this kind of poll. It's one of those plot twists you don't see coming, and when they do they slap you in the face. So I vote other.che5ter666

I knew this would happen... :P

Lmao, yeah If you think about it thats a pretty great plot twist

Still you could find out samus was a chick in the NES version with a certain cheat code...

Deus Ex carried a pretty crazy plot twist.

IMO BioShock shouldn't be on there since that the plot twist was exactly like System Shock 2.

No offense, but I don't understand why that plot twist was so good... They never mentioned Samus' gender throughout the game, I'm assuming. Everyone just automatically assumed she was a dude because it was the norm? C'mon, it's not like she was an alien that had evil planned out all from the start.

Also, to the person who said Super Metroid was the sequel: It's the third in the series. I have the fourth one (Metroid Fusion), and it's okay.

KOTOR.

There were hints throughout the game of what the plot twist was, but I never suspected what was coming. When the twist finally happened I was blown away. Nothing I've played compares to it.

So they... lied? An official source; the people that know that Samus is a "she" called her a "him" so everyone would be thrown off. :?

It wasn't really a plot twist, but more of a shock.

SPOILERS!!!

At the end of HL2: Ep 2 when Eli Vance died I didn't know what had just happened, I was in denial, I didn't expect it AT ALL, and with all of the good memories with him I shared, it hit me hard. My eyes got watery, and that told me that the game was SOOO worth it.

Maybe they didn't...

Maybe that's the actual plot twist!!:o

:P

Yeah, and when we saw his body, we just assumed it was a female.

Actually the twists are only superficially similar; Bioshock's twist and SS2's twist are quite different upon closer examination, and they were meant to inspire different feelings within the player:

*DETAILED SPOILERS FOLLOW FOR BIOSHOCK AND SYSTEM SHOCK 2*

In System Shock 2 you discover that Polito is dead and that you were being manipulated by SHODAN all along. This serves to make the player feel very, very, alone, but it does little to change the actual structure of the game; in fact, the post-twist player motivations remain rather similar to the player's pre-twist motivations... to a point, of course. You realise that you have been serving SHODAN'S will all along, but it doesn't cause a dramatic shift in the story's focus.

In Bioshock you learn that you have manipulated against your will (the superficial similarity), and, unlike the twist in SS2, this completely changes the story's focus, which, at that point, shifts from being about Rapture to being about Jack. The "villain" is killed during this twist, and is replaced with a new villain. I would say that the the new understanding of who the player character is, something savvy players will undoubtedly possess at this point in the story, is the real point of the twist, along with the realisation that Ryan is not the villain of the tale; the manipulation element is only a detail here, and really is not the driving force behind the shift in focus that follows the twist.

Saying "oh, it's the same twist, the player found out that he was being manipulated" is just being lazy, and not examining the details. It isn't even half of the same twist, much less "exactly like" the one in System Shock 2.

My bad stupid double posting idio! Like "press the button once"! 2 hard for my mind.

One of the endings in Vampire the masquerade bloodlines.

I didn't see that coming (if you played that ending you know what I mean;) )

KotOR got me goooooood.

SPOILERZ

Also, I know many didn't like it, but in Advent Rising, when your bro "dies" right in front of you at the beginning, and then the true ending after credits when you and your alien allies are in the council meeting, and your bro just busts through the roof and he's some freakin super mutant alien dude and starts killing everyone. That was crazy. Also, it totally suprised me when your girlfriend dies. I was like oh yeah shell make it, and then the doors close and you watch her sink to the bottom of the ocean and drown. I wish they had got to finish the trilogy :(

Dude, you but Braid in your poll.

BRAID.

Of course no one would agree with your choices.

Silent Hill 2. I just didn't see it coming and when the revelation came I was truly shocked by it.

[spoiler] The revelation that the game's events have been one great big mind **** to try and get James to see the truth, that his wife didn't die 3 years ago and that he himself had killed her (which you get to watch), was just mind numbing. The fact that is heavily implied that he, in his delerium, has brought her corpse with him in the trunk of his car, and where it had remained for the game's events, is pretty disturbing in itself [/spoiler]

LoL, that was unexpected.
