      Clearly you don't fully understand the Indoctrination Theory. There was a great documentary done on it by CleverNoob but his channel has since been deleted. Thankfully however, someone has reuploaded his videos. Trust me, watch them with a open mind and they'll make so much sense, that you'll truly question if it's just a "theory".

      The truth of the matter is that the indoctrination "theroy" Is a sad pathetic attempt by Reddit users and some desperate fans to be like "no guys, the ending ISN'T ruined, see? It's all in sheperd's head guys haha please PLEASE SAY ITS REAL" when in actuality the truth of the matter is that EA rushed bioware to finish ME3, and instead of trying to make a decent ending with what little time they had left, they half assed it and made what is single handily probably one of, if not the worst, video game endings of all time. The fact that there are people who STILL can't accept that the indoctrination conspiracy is bullshit in 2019 is a testament to how bad that ending was. Fans are literally willing to accept an obviously bullshit conspiracy theory over the ACTUAL ending, that is honestly just really sad.

    The woman in red in DMC4SE's Vergil mode intro mystery was solved, ages ago. She is suppose to be Nero's mom. Basically it it's mentioned that Vergil slept with one of the cultists, in one of the light novels. Thus he sired a son with her, Nero. The implication of the woman in red turning her head is is that she recognized Vergil, even though he was disguised, because they had a relationship at one point. It's meant as a subtle nod to that story point.

      Also on a different note, there was a write up on all ghost girl/haunted stuff so far, and it contains a LOT of information. There is like a sub-plot of the ghost girl throughout the series worth looking into. I can't remember exactly but there was a mansion with a butler, the girl was the daughter of the lord there and died, she shows up in nearly every game, but we also see the butler in one game. I can't remember properly, but I want to say the girl died as a result of a pokemon she was close with.

    For FEZ, Phil had a friend who was also playing FEZ with the rest of the Community, Often his friend would post Pictures of getting cubes from puzzles that were solved. When the community first discovered the Red Cube, everyone was confused about it because it wasn't part of the game objective. After the second red cube, burned map, and Monolith was found, community was puzzled once more. Phil friend showed a Picture of getting the last red cube without any hints of the code, which made fans believe it was something they shared, later revealed by people who followed Phil stating they worked together. After getting 3rd red cube and finding the location where they form, it formed a logo of a company Kokoromi where Phil and his friend founded and work. The mysterious Triangle is an abandoned Air force Lux base "Luke Aux #4", and there are several of them around Arizona. Weird he put the coordinates in the game.

      Light/Moderate XCOM EU/W/XCOM 2 spoilers follow to explain what I'm talking about.
      So, in the beginning of XCOM 2, it's basically revealed that the entirety of XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within, was all something that the "commander" (you, the player) basically dreamt up while imprisoned by the Alien invaders in order for them to use your tactical knowledge and understand of how Humanity would counter an invasion in order to take over the entire planet.
      Thus explaining why the planet is being ruled by aliens in XCOM 2 despite you defeating the "alien queen" in XCOM: EU and thus stopping the invasion.
      It also helps explain why the DLC for XCOM EU was pitting you against another Human faction - The Aliens wanted to see how you'd approach warfare with a hostile human faction so they could utilize that knowledge themselves, as part of their take-over was to start utilizing enslaved and augmented humans in order to better control the general populace.
      As I said, it was actually surprisingly well done and thought out, and doesn't really ruin the previous game, as nothing in that previous game is really "false", it's just not presented as what actually was happening. It's by far my favorite use of the concept.

    I think I can explain the assassins creed black flag mystery. Games sometimes use low poly models when players are far enough away from npcs and other objects that they wouldn't possibly be able to notice the fact that they're low poly. They're replaced by proper models when the player gets close enough. My guess is that a glitch caused a low poly npc model to not despawn after the player got close to it. The game then suddenly realised that the player was close to the low poly model and despawned it, which is why it disappeared. Hope this clears up that mystery for you

      Edit: I think he was getting closer because he was distracted by the dancers the player hired. But its unusual to see the guards getting distracted by them from such a far away distance

      Maybe they are just objects to link the camera view, in some engines and development choices, cameras are really just geometry objects placed on the grid, they usually have no shape or form. What could've happened is that during development they associated the camera to some random object for testing, used it and then forgot about it, i personally did that few years ago(2005, 2006), my camera object was set as a cilindrical shape so i cold see where it as pointing more easily.

    The Mass Effect trees are just an angular map.
    It's just a graphics trick in games, used when you have a reflective surface rendered and you don't want the game to slow down, while the GC processor calculates ACTUAL reflections. You create a shader algorithm that makes that surface reflect only a special type of a panoramic image: an angular texture. This gives the player an illusion of reflectiveness on stuff.
    The image for Citadel-oriented reflective surfaces just happens to include the trees from the park elements ON the CItadel station.

    The only weird thing I've ever found in a video game was this odd tower that would show up from time to time in the Hoth Multiplayer map of Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike. It didn't look like a structure that was physically in the game but some kind of visual artifact of some kind because it was just a black line on the horizon. If you moved away from it or got closer to it it would end up winking out and disappearing altogether. The only thing I can think of to explain it is that there is a certain point between 3D objects where they will switch over to 2D in order to still be visually seen by the player (you can observe this easily in multiplayer by having one person in the Slave I spinning while getting closer and further away from the other player). This black line is probably the gamecube having some issues switching some distant terrain from 2D or 3D and that it's just very obvious in the Hoth map because everything is so white and bleached that this artifact stands out more.
    It freaked me out when I first saw it because it looked like the massive tower from Tales of Symphonia.

    Kirby's Dream Land 3 really was creepy as hell, though. It also marked a surprisingly crucial part in the increasingly complex lore of the series--mostly with the final boss Zero (the creepy eyeball that shoots its own blood at you--kid-friendly!). Really, the lore behind Kirby is getting really fleshed out. And creepy.
    EDIT: Whatever the hell Batamon is, it pops up again. In the recent game Kirby Star Allies, the character Adeleine can paint one as an attack (along other obscure Kirby enemies)

    The Black Flag NPC one is interesting, because it’s mesh was rendered behind other geometry that would have been behind it, and warped with the camera, and it’s geometry was it’s lowest LOD. This tells me the NPC was on a separate render pass, possibly for “far away background NPC” and accidentally spawned with a transformation matrix perhaps accidentally recycled from another possibly failed to spawn NPC closer to the player

    hey oddheader i got one for you...
    In the original assassin's creed, (I play the directors cut edition on pc but this might be on consoles too) there are missions called interrogations, in which you must follow "informants" in back alleys where no-one else is, then beat them up until they give you info on the person you are supposed to assassinate. When the exchange is finished, you kill them. These people share a few specific models, so after you've played through the game and done all the interrogation missions, you will not find these models ANYWHERE else in the game. (unless you skipped some of these missions as you don't have to do all of them.) However, in Masyaf, one of the first missions (you can't skip this one) after you are stripped of your rank at the start of the game involves finding out who opened the town gate for the templars: an informant named Masun. He looks identical to all the other informants from Damascus or Jerusalem. You follow him to a back alley and beat the crap out of him, but instead of killing him straight away, you take him to your master and he is killed then. There is a long cutscene and you are told to leave town and go about your murder-y business, but, as soon as the cutscene finishes, if you go out into the market place near the actual castle entrance and loiter around a corner for about 5 minutes and Masun will just come sauntering around the corner like a regular npc. He has no lines of dialogue, but, strangely, if you hit him or he is dealt absolutely any amount of damage, he dies in one hit. If you follow him around town he doesn't do anything interesting. After seeing this I immediately looked it up on the net, but found NO TRACE of anyone else witnessing this. I did find out, however, that he is storybound to a character named Jamal, who is a templar defect and the one who told Masun to open the gate for them. Jamal is mentioned in dialogue with Masun, and was going to be the subject of an early mission that was ultimately cut from the game, but he is still included as a minor easter egg. He can be found just outside the borders of Masyaf with a group of assassins. If eagle vision is enabled, Jamal will appear in red (enemy) as opposed to blue (friend) If you kill him, it will have little effect on the others. Maybe the Masun ghost has something to do with this?
    Would love to see you dissect this in part 3! Please investigate! I NEED ANSWERS!

    In regards to the Mass Effect theory, the reflection at the end is what’s most likely known as a “pre-baked” reflection. It’s a common technique used in games to avoid the computationally expensive task of calculating reflections for the environment your in. Put simply, all reflections in the environment “reflect” the same image (in this case, what is likely a stock asset). The reason not all surfaces look like that is due to a combination of material, lighting, and angle.

    • @BIGSHOWxbox

    For #10, it’s theorized that the ghost girl is the spirit of Phoebe’s dead sister. It’d make sense that spirits would be attracted to her, being that she’s a ghost-type trainer.
    As for #7, Vergil’s mother, Eve, is dead, so there’d be a 0% chance that woman is her. However, there’s a large chance that it could be Nero’s mother, and that she recognizes Vergil as he’s walking.

      Another theory I've heard is that they're actually 2 separate ghost girls, instead of the same one at different locations and are actually the original owners of the 2 Banette that Pheobe has. A lot of the pokedex entries has some variation of the following text "A doll that became a Pokémon over its grudge of being thrown away. It seeks the child who disowned it.
      ". The theory follows that the Banette found their original owners and now their ghosts hang out nearby their dolls. And notice the one that sits in the chair also happens to be holding a doll. Maybe the one that eventually became a Banette?

      The problem with anime based game (not anime styled game) in general is their story, lore, and character restriction. It is hard to implement "visible" character customization without ruining the game. Not to mention, with a pre determined storyline, the game developer would have a harder time matching the story with objectives, quests, levels, npcs, and stuff like that. Thus, most licensed games were mostly restricted to hack 'n slash, fighting game, and maybe strategy
