I fucking love Bioshock, the whole series, but I mean, it wasn't THAT nuts, especially if you noticed how Fontaine said that every damn sentence hahaha. He's totally representing the ocelot twist wrong though hahaha Yeah, he was Adam, the CIA informant..but also poses in Russia as THEIR spy, while later also working for the Patriots, he's a quadruple agent only truly loyal to Big boss. Plus, he's The Bosses son
I believe that Kojima left V unfinished on purpose to give the feeling of "Phantom Pain". There was an article about it and it worded it a lot better than I ever could.
As for bioshock nobody talks about the fact that jack is actually only 4 years old. It's not a twist but still. He was born in '56 and was genetically altered. By the age of 1 he looked to be 19. And the game takes play in '60 so yea. He's only 4
@KysLeron ok alright i messed it up slightly. "If the player decodes the phonetic alphabet code names (X-ray, Sierra etc.) in the beginning of each level of Call of Duty: Black Ops into their first letters, changes the serial numbers into letters (A-1, B-2), and removes all the Xs, the player will get this message: "Reznov is dead, or is he dead, there was no body, is he who he says he is". thats from the COD wiki
Mass Effect, the reveal that Sovereign is what a reaper actually is, and not just a ship. Also that the Citadel is a mass relay and actually a trap for civilizations to build themselves around so the Reapers can essentially portal on top of them without any warning
I remember starting the raid on Vermire thinking it was a minor mission. 45 minutes later, Wrex almost got iced, Kaiden is dead, the gene-engineering facility is a glass parking lot, and Sovereign's the friggin' Reaper vanguard.
Oh man, my fiancé (then bf) played the Mass Effect games before me because he was working less than me at the time so I leant him the games, which I had never played. He came back over and said I had to play and he had to watch me. He laughed so hard as I screeched at these revelations.
That was a good one. The revaluation the Collectors were once Protheans was also a big swerve (a concept recycled for Andromeda with the Kett). The Star-Child bullshit at the end of ME3 is also a twist but went down like a barbed-wire butt-plug.
Is it just me that called that from episode 1 It’s a good twist but I think they did a really good job with making it a twist that wasn’t super out of nowhere
Would you kindly was a better plot twist. That future me storyline was so weird and really came out of nowhere. The original's 'would you kindly' was a good plot twist because it makes so much sense to why you're doing to what you're doing. You could figure it out by yourself easily but because you're used to characters in games telling you what to do, it was really surprising.
@@mojo873 By the time of that reveal, I had long stopped caring about Bioshock Infinite. From the mid-game onward, it was a serious of plot holes so large you could fly all of Columbia through. For all the exposition the beginning created, all the expectations it raised, the second half was a complete meltdown.
What about in inFamous, Kessler being Cole from a future devastated by The Beast, having taken a one-way trip back in time to mold this Cole into the savior he himself failed to be.
A Way Out's ending You play through the game with a friend for ages and learn to help eachother and get better teamwork till you find out that one of the characters a cop and you and the friend has to kill eachother
when Eric Sparrow steals your footage and goes Pro before you do in Tony Hawk's Underground. it was a plot twist in the middle of the game but to this day makes me rage.
Infamous 1 at the end when Kessler is revealed to be you from the future where he failed to stop a earth ending event so he goes back in time to shape you into the hero he failed to be
@@nekokuza Sorry Revan or Shaun? I figured Shaun was going to crop up somewhere so it wasn't that good. I really didn't see the KotOR PC being a mindwiped Revan though.
When Atlas' family was supposedly killed I started suspecting of him because of his reaction. It didn't feel real, where as a game with such emotional details as Bioshock you'd expect his reaction to be much more heartbreaking. I thought Atlas was Andrew tho, not Fontaine.
@@GTL22 same here the tapes were so boring idk how people managed to get so engrossed in the story. The ending twist had no effect on me since while those lore tapes were playing I was busy shooting bees out my palm
After I beat the game the first time, I went back and in the mission where “Nicole” helps you (I can’t remember exactly what it is), I wondered just how committed they were to the illusion. In DS, you can’t shoot at living persons, but in that mission you can shoot at her. Not just the mission titles, but it was right there that whole time 🤦🏼♂️
No KotR? Laaaaaamme. That was one of the BEST plot twists I have ever experienced and to see it overlooked without even an honorable mention is a travesty.
Always though Bioshock Infinite had a more shocking ending. Then again, it's my favorite game so I might be biased but damn Bioshock in general is amazing.
All part of the plan: Persona 5! We as the player knew from the start that someone betrayed us at some point, so most of the game goes with trying to figure out who it was. And when it finally comes through that Akechi was the culprit, most of us were kinda proud that we figured out it was him, only to realize that the gang already knew this, and it was part of the plan for you to get captured and "killed"
These guys REALLY need to learn to write their own spoiled games list, in the information or to present one at the beginning of the clip, but in the meantime,,, Thank You.
From the TITLE of the video alone, there were multiple implications of SPOILERS AHEAD. So literally all of you have only yourselves to blame, not WhatCulture.
Perhaps not a major twist because the plot finds it way back in the end, but one thing that really blind-sided me was Joel falling on that metal pole at the university in Last of Us. One moment he is hero and protector, and then cut to Winter and it's Ellie on her own with no clue (for a bit anyway) of what happened to him. Shocking the first time you experience it.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. General Shepard's betrayal. Most of these games have hints throughout that something isn't right or something is about to happen. General Shepard shooting Roach and Ghost after they nearly die protecting that damn hard-drive came from nowhere and has caused me to distrust any game character acting as a guide through a game.
Really? I would have expected KOTOR's plot twist over all of those. Some of those games, I saw coming a mile away. But KOTOR's blindsided me like crazy.
I'll never forget the night I was playing Halo, cold windy weather outside, was really enjoying the atmosphere and enjoying my new xbox... the anticipation as you encounter the Covenant running away... the wounded soldiers crying out... and then you're trapped in the room as the flood arrives!!! Goose bumps. So much fun!
Honestly man in Games like GTA it's hard to give unexpected twists, but it was a good one definitely better than some of the bullshit mentioned in this list
When I thought about it the Reznov twist in BLOPS was well thought out. We saw Reznov normally but I noticed that no one ever talked to him or acknowledged anything he said. Looking back there was also a thing where Reznov only ever physically interacted with objects or the environment at the same time as Mason. He also had Mason do most of his tasks for him. Not to mention he also seemed to appear at the most convenient times. They were subtle but there were signs that Mason was Reznov the whole time throughout the game. Nice one Treyarch.
No saw that coming at go. All the magic is dark black and painful, it’s forbidden to even be in this region, and very rarely are giant temples with multiple locks and guardians built to contain a good god like being
Surprised me at the time...I was younger and I thounght the dark stuff was dirt blood 🤣 because they're all creatures from the within the Earth. But then later I did find out the black stuff was shadow stuff.
One of the best twists was "Second Sight." You think you're having flashbacks to the mission gone wrong that put you in the hospital. Really, the "flashbacks" are the present, and what you thought was the present was really the main character's visions of the future.
I guessed early on that he'd be an old man, or maybe even long dead. I didn't specifically predict he'd be running the institute until he walked into the room though
well i mean yeah simply because what you are frozen the first time for was it 100 yrs, then get woken up to watch your kid get stolen and your SO get murder, then you get frozen for what was it another 100 yrs?
Mike, from Texas neither was the dead space one really like you didn't find any other survivors apart from your crew also I'm more concerned when he said post apocalyptic Bolton instead of Boston like is Boston that hard to say
Did people really not see the Nicole or Shaun twists coming? Those "twists" were some of my earliest thoughts in their respective games. Particularly that in Fallout 4, we saw our MC go back into cryosleep after Shaun got kidnapped, so there's no telling how much time had passed, and Nicole was just extremely suspicious from the first time we "met" her.
It was actually fairly obvious if you pay attention to the earlier dialogue with Bastila. She mentions that it's unusual that you can use the force the way you can, very strongly hinting at the fact that you were a force user in the past. And the fact that Revan was supposedly dead but they didn't find his body... It was super obvious at that point, but I thought it was so obvious that they wouldn't do that.
My favourite part about Reznov is that the game actually tells you he isn’t real before the story does. Hes the only friendly npc that doesnt give you a green target when you aim at him, and you cant do friendly fire to him Any bullets will phase through him.
That, and other NPCs never once acknowledge Reznov, and there are certain points where u talk to Reznov and other NPCs ask wtf you're doing ie in the rat tunnels
No. It isn't. An antagonist is simply the character or group that the protagonist struggles against. The character whom the story centers around or follows is the protagonist. A character who commits crimes or works evil deeds for the right reasons or in service to a greater good while fighting against some other evil is referred to as an anti-hero and can be either a protagonist or antagonist depending on the story.
actually Snack Boy is right, but it all depends on how u look at it. let me use the most recent game that gives u the ability to choose who u want to be: Undertale. in Undertale, u can either be the hero or the villain based on your actions towards the monsters. if u should so choose to do the Genocide/No Mercy Route, Frisk/Chara is the ANTAGONIST whereas the monsters like Undyne and Sans would be the PROTAGONISTS trying to stop your reign of terror. by default, many ppl automatically assume the protagonist is a hero/heroine, and theres nothing wrong w/ that...since, more often than not, that is indeed the case: the protagonist is in fact the hero of the story or, in the case of games like Undertale and Infamous, an empty slate for the player to mold how they so choose. it's just easier for ppl to refer to heroes as "protagonists" and villains as "antagonists" since that is usually the role they embody; if the player turns out to be the villain, ppl refer to the main character as the antagonist
So, the protagonist is the main guy we follow no matter his moral alignment and the antagonist is the main characters enemy. good and bad have nothing to do with it, for instance if we had a story from lex luthor's perspective then he would be the protagonist and Superman the antagonist.
If you take the first letter of each chapter, they spell out: NICOLE IS DEAD Chapter 1: New Arrivals Chapter 2: Intensive Care Chapter 3: Course Correction Chapter 4: Obliteration Imminent Chapter 5: Lethal Devotion Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard Chapter 7: Into the Void Chapter 8: Search and Rescue Chapter 9: Dead on Arrival Chapter 10: End of Days Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions Chapter 12: Dead Space
I remember a few years back when dead space came out I played the end where my friend saved and I got to the part where that girls says Nicole is dead and said to my friend no way shes right there in this room but then it donned on me that the computer screens freak out when you get close. it was a good plot twist
What you forgot to mention for Dead Space is that if you actually pay attention to the chapter titles, you'll find that the first letter of every chapter title spells out Nicole Is Dead.
The whole MGS serie is basically : - Ah ah I double crossed you - No, I triple crossed you ! - What if I fourtle crossed you ? - Maybe but what you don't know is that I FIVETLE crossed you ! Adamska wooosh woosh woosh "ADAM" Ocelot woosh woosh woosh Revolver Ocelot also called wooosh wooosh wooosh Shalashaska : **enters in the room** **gunspinning intensifies** - SIKE !
For me, the best twist any video game has ever done is Master Li's betrayal in Jade Empire. Nobody could have seen that coming, and it was so perfectly foreshadowed that you realize when it happened that you actually could have known if only you'd paid attention to the right things.
Nice mention. Such a great series. I wish they would remake the series. The game blew my mind as a kid. The lore was so amazing and intriguing. Remake square enix. I've been waiting long enough already.
Because that wasn't very dhocking. The game drops hints leading up to the event unfolding. 4 sirens can exist in the universe, and Jack knows where 3 of them are.
3:52 I was so depressed in his place, I just kept going and going and the game felt less horrific, just realiced how all of it was ocne full of people and activity, turned into a space tomb, I was even more conscious of the loss of EVERYONE.
These aren’t necessarily plot twists that were huge or magnificent, but they did solidify my adoration for the characters involved. -Ralph being descended from queen ambi in oracle of ages -snatcher having been Vanessa’s prince in a hat in time -Linebeck unwillingly becoming the final boss in phantom hourglass
Jade Empire was the first game I remember making me say WTF just happened when your teacher is actually the bad guy and kills you by leaving a flaw 8n your technique only he can exploit.
For me the biggest shock came on Star Wars Tie fighter. There is a mission where you have to help clear mines and so in the middle of the field with no warning you are betrayed.
DA: Inquisition is very boring and repetative imho. The main female character Cassandra felt expressionless as a brick. Solas' twist was quite good though.
The firtst thing I thougth when Shaun was kidnapped in FO4 was: "He's gonna be an old man and leader of one major faction". If I can foresee that it has no business being on this kind of list.
@@KasumiRINA idk if that's what's OP talking about but the entire game makes you think that one of the protag's classmates drugs girls, makes suggestive photographs of them bound up and has killed one of them. The big twist is that actually the photography teacher did it out of a weird perverse fascination.
Knights of the Old Republic.... no other reveal in any game ever made me take pause to recover my breath. I mean seriously, Im a Jedi, the good guy, I made every light side decision, I was a BEACON of LIGHT and HOPE (for those of you who remember the game will easily recall). To the point that even though I played the game well over 20 times, I never once played as a dark side Jedi. The only reason I saw the dark side ending is because I watched my roommate play through it dark side. Then to find out that I was the original bad guy!! OMG!!! I both laughed and cried at the same time. Fuck FF7, It will always be my opinion KOTOR was the best RPG of its time. If someone reproduced it in current graphics I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Fans are doing a remake in Unreal Engine IIRK. Deep thing in KOTOR, it puts you in shoes of basically Vader from over 1000 years ago, & you feel the lies & mistreatment of you by the Jedi, I hated Bastila from the start, but knowing she, as well as the council, lied, tricked & used you, makes you WANT to screw them over & gravitate to dark side. Second game has worse twist if you play it pure-Light, the scene with council & what they did & do to you is unforgettable. I'd advise anyone to play KOTOR 2: The Sith Lords without killing any of the 3 Jedi Masters first time. Else you don't hear their hypocrisy or learn your main character's past. If you kill one the other attack you without explaining & if you killed all before the summit, Kreia chastises you even if you're light sided in everything else (an oversight).
i absolutely hated having to kill lance, i actually tried several times to figure out how to complete the mission without killing him. i didnt understand as a kid why he betrayed me :(
Because he was a dick that, despite only helping out a few times, thought he deserved 60% of the glory and credit for everything. Some people are like that.
What about that part in Jade Empire when you kill the evil emperor, save your old martial arts master that was like your father and then he thanks you... and murder you instantly.
Spoilers for persona 5!!!!! Persona 5: the entire game is a plot twist, igor turns out to be the holy grail, akechi killing you and you not being dead because of being in the metaverse. So many great plot twists and surprises.
Also legend of dragoon? That game was packed with twists. Shauna was the moonchild, Lloyd turns out not to be evil but is working his own betrayal, Darts father being alive, Rose is the black monster? And more smaller twists laced throughout the plot. Most of the games listed in this video drop subtle enough hints throughout the games that anyone like myself being a completionist can figure out before the plot reveals it.
You're giving fallout 4 a bit too much credit. I've barely met anyone who was actually surprised by that twist. Bethesda is known for their sanbox worlds, not their great writing.
How is Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic not in here...? I feel that game started a whole new fanbase and influences current star wars movies today... One of the best stories I have seen in a long time. The twist made the game even better by creating a personal connection with the player while remaining pretty consistent to its own lore not effecting the original trilogy. Truly a masterpiece in my opinion.
The reveal of your identity at the end of the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game. One of the greatest moments in gaming that no one saw coming.
The *biggest* twist is that a dog was controlling the entire place In silent hill.

Definitely. Anytime afterwards that I heard that phrase I got flashbacks of golfclubs and shaky cameras.
I'm gonna go for Star wars Kotor and the revelation that you were playing as Revan the whole time....shocked me to my very core
Was JUST about to say the same thing.
I loved the game to death already, but that plot twist catapulted into one of the best games you will ever play IMO

It has the most shocking ending and the second one is Bioshock(2007).

These guys REALLY need to learn to write their own spoiled games list, in the information or to present one at the beginning of the clip, but in the meantime,,, Thank You.
JuJuJetastic 😢 Thank you so much
From the TITLE of the video alone, there were multiple implications of SPOILERS AHEAD. So literally all of you have only yourselves to blame, not WhatCulture.
D'Realitz We get that, but it would be nice to see what games they were talking about BEFORE having to hear the plot twist and title simultaneously.
JuJuJetastic clutch
Perhaps not a major twist because the plot finds it way back in the end, but one thing that really blind-sided me was Joel falling on that metal pole at the university in Last of Us. One moment he is hero and protector, and then cut to Winter and it's Ellie on her own with no clue (for a bit anyway) of what happened to him. Shocking the first time you experience it.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. General Shepard's betrayal. Most of these games have hints throughout that something isn't right or something is about to happen. General Shepard shooting Roach and Ghost after they nearly die protecting that damn hard-drive came from nowhere and has caused me to distrust any game character acting as a guide through a game.
I was about to mention that
Really? I would have expected KOTOR's plot twist over all of those. Some of those games, I saw coming a mile away. But KOTOR's blindsided me like crazy.
Me too...
Maybe we’re just getting old... but yeah you’re right it’s a “put the controller down and walk away” moment
Spec Ops was harrowing from start to finish. It's one of those games that makes jut sit quietly after beating it.
Great game
I have it on my Steam account, just haven't found the will to play it.
I'll never forget the night I was playing Halo, cold windy weather outside, was really enjoying the atmosphere and enjoying my new xbox... the anticipation as you encounter the Covenant running away... the wounded soldiers crying out... and then you're trapped in the room as the flood arrives!!! Goose bumps. So much fun!
What about that time Big Smoke and Ryder betray CJ?
TheMDXtreme true, and when big smoke orders 2 number 2’s. Didnt see that coming
I'll have 2 number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 7, extra dip, 2 number 45s and a large soda. *Unlike you I ain't gonna eat from the trash*
Honestly man in Games like GTA it's hard to give unexpected twists, but it was a good one definitely better than some of the bullshit mentioned in this list
*Yes!*
It wasn't monumental in my opinion, but it was a good twist, and I didn't expect my boi Big Smoke to be a villain.
When I thought about it the Reznov twist in BLOPS was well thought out. We saw Reznov normally but I noticed that no one ever talked to him or acknowledged anything he said.
Looking back there was also a thing where Reznov only ever physically interacted with objects or the environment at the same time as Mason. He also had Mason do most of his tasks for him. Not to mention he also seemed to appear at the most convenient times.
They were subtle but there were signs that Mason was Reznov the whole time throughout the game. Nice one Treyarch.
Shadow of the Colossus?
No saw that coming at go. All the magic is dark black and painful, it’s forbidden to even be in this region, and very rarely are giant temples with multiple locks and guardians built to contain a good god like being
Yes but no in my opinion, One: The shadows that came out of them. Two: They didn't attack until you attacked them.
What part exactly?
For me, it was when Argo (the horse) falls to its death
Surprised me at the time...I was younger and I thounght the dark stuff was dirt blood 🤣 because they're all creatures from the within the Earth. But then later I did find out the black stuff was shadow stuff.
I kinda guessed that the Colossi were noce because everytime they die the music was sad and I always felt a bit bad from killing those creatures.
Oh
I'm sad
Star Wars Kotor 1 twist wasnt on the list
That fallout 4 one
He said "Bolton"
Its set in "Boston"
One of the best twists was "Second Sight." You think you're having flashbacks to the mission gone wrong that put you in the hospital. Really, the "flashbacks" are the present, and what you thought was the present was really the main character's visions of the future.
To be fair, Fallout 4's wasn't *that* much of a twist.
Mike, from Texas yeah
I guessed early on that he'd be an old man, or maybe even long dead. I didn't specifically predict he'd be running the institute until he walked into the room though
Mike, from Texas yeah saw from a fast travel away
well i mean yeah simply because what you are frozen the first time for was it 100 yrs, then get woken up to watch your kid get stolen and your SO get murder, then you get frozen for what was it another 100 yrs?
Mike, from Texas neither was the dead space one really like you didn't find any other survivors apart from your crew also I'm more concerned when he said post apocalyptic Bolton instead of Boston like is Boston that hard to say
Resident Evil 7. Finding out that Eveline was the old lady all along.
"Post-apocalyptic Bolton"
So much for the guy who pronounces everything correctly.
Boston, dude. B-o-s-t-o-n.
to be fair, he said he occasionally pronounces things correctly.
also, not like he's from the US.
@@leeman27534 The letter S exists in the UK, as well.
Did people really not see the Nicole or Shaun twists coming? Those "twists" were some of my earliest thoughts in their respective games. Particularly that in Fallout 4, we saw our MC go back into cryosleep after Shaun got kidnapped, so there's no telling how much time had passed, and Nicole was just extremely suspicious from the first time we "met" her.
where's kotor
Statement: here.
They even used video form game, and it still not in the list...
I saw it coming tho after all the teasers at the begging
SomeRandomGuy No you didn't quit lying
It was actually fairly obvious if you pay attention to the earlier dialogue with Bastila. She mentions that it's unusual that you can use the force the way you can, very strongly hinting at the fact that you were a force user in the past. And the fact that Revan was supposedly dead but they didn't find his body... It was super obvious at that point, but I thought it was so obvious that they wouldn't do that.
So glad to see the BioShock one so high, it’s my favorite plot twist of all time
Mass Effect 1 & 2 are the best single player games ever with many twists and great, unforgettable moments.
ahahaahahhahaahhahahhahah you are casual 100% noob ,Planescape Torment is best storyline ever made millenium amator
Boi: "I guess there's just one thing I don't understand... my name on the wall..."
My favourite part about Reznov is that the game actually tells you he isn’t real before the story does. Hes the only friendly npc that doesnt give you a green target when you aim at him, and you cant do friendly fire to him Any bullets will phase through him.
That, and other NPCs never once acknowledge Reznov, and there are certain points where u talk to Reznov and other NPCs ask wtf you're doing ie in the rat tunnels
I thought the first "Wait, what!?" moment in video game history was "Our Princess is in another castle".
I really wish people would quit defining the protagonist as the hero when the term also refers to the main character good or bad.
A bad main character is known as an "Antagonist"
No. It isn't. An antagonist is simply the character or group that the protagonist struggles against. The character whom the story centers around or follows is the protagonist. A character who commits crimes or works evil deeds for the right reasons or in service to a greater good while fighting against some other evil is referred to as an anti-hero and can be either a protagonist or antagonist depending on the story.
Mata Nui literally who carea
actually Snack Boy is right, but it all depends on how u look at it. let me use the most recent game that gives u the ability to choose who u want to be: Undertale. in Undertale, u can either be the hero or the villain based on your actions towards the monsters. if u should so choose to do the Genocide/No Mercy Route, Frisk/Chara is the ANTAGONIST whereas the monsters like Undyne and Sans would be the PROTAGONISTS trying to stop your reign of terror. by default, many ppl automatically assume the protagonist is a hero/heroine, and theres nothing wrong w/ that...since, more often than not, that is indeed the case: the protagonist is in fact the hero of the story or, in the case of games like Undertale and Infamous, an empty slate for the player to mold how they so choose. it's just easier for ppl to refer to heroes as "protagonists" and villains as "antagonists" since that is usually the role they embody; if the player turns out to be the villain, ppl refer to the main character as the antagonist
So, the protagonist is the main guy we follow no matter his moral alignment and the antagonist is the main characters enemy. good and bad have nothing to do with it, for instance if we had a story from lex luthor's perspective then he would be the protagonist and Superman the antagonist.
If you take the first letter of each chapter, they spell out: NICOLE IS DEAD
Chapter 1: New Arrivals
Chapter 2: Intensive Care
Chapter 3: Course Correction
Chapter 4: Obliteration Imminent
Chapter 5: Lethal Devotion
Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard
Chapter 7: Into the Void
Chapter 8: Search and Rescue
Chapter 9: Dead on Arrival
Chapter 10: End of Days
Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions
Chapter 12: Dead Space
I remember a few years back when dead space came out I played the end where my friend saved and I got to the part where that girls says Nicole is dead and said to my friend no way shes right there in this room but then it donned on me that the computer screens freak out when you get close. it was a good plot twist
What you forgot to mention for Dead Space is that if you actually pay attention to the chapter titles, you'll find that the first letter of every chapter title spells out Nicole Is Dead.
The whole MGS serie is basically :
- Ah ah I double crossed you
- No, I triple crossed you !
- What if I fourtle crossed you ?
- Maybe but what you don't know is that I FIVETLE crossed you !
Adamska wooosh woosh woosh "ADAM" Ocelot woosh woosh woosh Revolver Ocelot also called wooosh wooosh wooosh Shalashaska :
**enters in the room**
**gunspinning intensifies**
- SIKE !
This comment needs more likes
I used to be so impressed by the MGS series when i was a teen, but looking back at it in my late 20's that's exactly what the plot is like.
For me, the best twist any video game has ever done is Master Li's betrayal in Jade Empire. Nobody could have seen that coming, and it was so perfectly foreshadowed that you realize when it happened that you actually could have known if only you'd paid attention to the right things.
Oh, Bioware were good at it; that's one game I skipped, need to play it now.
"Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2" - Raziel learns that the soul-devouring spirit of the Reaver sword was, and always had been, himself.
Nice mention. Such a great series. I wish they would remake the series. The game blew my mind as a kid. The lore was so amazing and intriguing. Remake square enix. I've been waiting long enough already.
The boy from Little Nightmares dlc. I still remember the pain I felt after watching the end and knowing what's gonna happen to him.
Angel is jacks daughter borderlands 2???? Why wasn't that here
unshapen tuna i was like 12 or 11 when i played bl2 and i wasn't surprised at all by the.. "twist" since She kinda reveals it after her betrayal
I was more shocked at the death of the black guy
Because that wasn't very dhocking. The game drops hints leading up to the event unfolding. 4 sirens can exist in the universe, and Jack knows where 3 of them are.
@@walkertexasstranger4349 isnt like 9 sirens not 4
3:52 I was so depressed in his place, I just kept going and going and the game felt less horrific, just realiced how all of it was ocne full of people and activity, turned into a space tomb, I was even more conscious of the loss of EVERYONE.
Spec Ops was an incredibly underrated game.
Most of the twists listed here: Fight Club style mental disorders.
4:50 "Bolton" lol
These aren’t necessarily plot twists that were huge or magnificent, but they did solidify my adoration for the characters involved.
-Ralph being descended from queen ambi in oracle of ages
-snatcher having been Vanessa’s prince in a hat in time
-Linebeck unwillingly becoming the final boss in phantom hourglass
Jade Empire was the first game I remember making me say WTF just happened when your teacher is actually the bad guy and kills you by leaving a flaw 8n your technique only he can exploit.
Knights of the Old Republic is still my favorite. That twist had me shook for months.
The plot twist in the first inFAMOUS game was fantastic!
Would You Kindly?
I can't forget this. What a game...
For me the biggest shock came on Star Wars Tie fighter. There is a mission where you have to help clear mines and so in the middle of the field with no warning you are betrayed.
Arkham city had a really cool twist about the joker
Jade Empire's plot twist was epic. I'm sad it didn't even get a mention.
Best plot twist in gaming
Solas is Fen-Hareal the dread wolf
DA: Inquisition is very boring and repetative imho. The main female character Cassandra felt expressionless as a brick. Solas' twist was quite good though.
The firtst thing I thougth when Shaun was kidnapped in FO4 was: "He's gonna be an old man and leader of one major faction". If I can foresee that it has no business being on this kind of list.
I mean, say what you will about Life is strange, but the twist had me shook.
Yeah, I'll grant you that. I didn't enjoy the game overall, but that entire last chapter almost made up for it.
Can you spoil it here? I never played it cause it looks pretentious but if it's nothing what it seems...
Kasumi Ryona Oh no it is what it seems, it’s just around the end which is pretty good
@@KasumiRINA idk if that's what's OP talking about but the entire game makes you think that one of the protag's classmates drugs girls, makes suggestive photographs of them bound up and has killed one of them. The big twist is that actually the photography teacher did it out of a weird perverse fascination.
"Would you kindly" was so bad ass that it made the evening news!
Knights of the Old Republic.... no other reveal in any game ever made me take pause to recover my breath. I mean seriously, Im a Jedi, the good guy, I made every light side decision, I was a BEACON of LIGHT and HOPE (for those of you who remember the game will easily recall). To the point that even though I played the game well over 20 times, I never once played as a dark side Jedi. The only reason I saw the dark side ending is because I watched my roommate play through it dark side. Then to find out that I was the original bad guy!! OMG!!! I both laughed and cried at the same time. Fuck FF7, It will always be my opinion KOTOR was the best RPG of its time. If someone reproduced it in current graphics I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Fans are doing a remake in Unreal Engine IIRK. Deep thing in KOTOR, it puts you in shoes of basically Vader from over 1000 years ago, & you feel the lies & mistreatment of you by the Jedi, I hated Bastila from the start, but knowing she, as well as the council, lied, tricked & used you, makes you WANT to screw them over & gravitate to dark side. Second game has worse twist if you play it pure-Light, the scene with council & what they did & do to you is unforgettable. I'd advise anyone to play KOTOR 2: The Sith Lords without killing any of the 3 Jedi Masters first time. Else you don't hear their hypocrisy or learn your main character's past. If you kill one the other attack you without explaining & if you killed all before the summit, Kreia chastises you even if you're light sided in everything else (an oversight).
My character was pure lightside but when it was revealed he was revan my character suffered a mental breakdown and became pure evil :)
Metal Kor's reveal in Jak 2, from old man that you thought was helping you, to being the main antagonist as the monstrous metal head leader.
i absolutely hated having to kill lance, i actually tried several times to figure out how to complete the mission without killing him. i didnt understand as a kid why he betrayed me :(
Royalist thought us for lessons we would experience later in life
Because he was a dick that, despite only helping out a few times, thought he deserved 60% of the glory and credit for everything. Some people are like that.
Haven't watched the vid, assuming Vice City
What about that part in Jade Empire when you kill the evil emperor, save your old martial arts master that was like your father and then he thanks you... and murder you instantly.
best plot twist in gaming
The Moon in Portal 2. Less of a twist and more of a wait holy shit moment
Spoilers for persona 5!!!!!
Persona 5: the entire game is a plot twist, igor turns out to be the holy grail, akechi killing you and you not being dead because of being in the metaverse. So many great plot twists and surprises.
When i found out paladin danse was a synth, i didnt see that coming
Also legend of dragoon? That game was packed with twists. Shauna was the moonchild, Lloyd turns out not to be evil but is working his own betrayal, Darts father being alive, Rose is the black monster? And more smaller twists laced throughout the plot. Most of the games listed in this video drop subtle enough hints throughout the games that anyone like myself being a completionist can figure out before the plot reveals it.
What about Prey's plot twist?
Oh man that was good
the First Zero Escape game's twist blew my mind so hard I have thought about it every week since I played it a decade ago
The best possible plot twist in gaming has to be from Spec Ops The Line
"Sorry Mario, but the Princess it's in another Castle" That has to be the biggest Plot twist EVEEEEEEEER!!!
You're giving fallout 4 a bit too much credit. I've barely met anyone who was actually surprised by that twist. Bethesda is known for their sanbox worlds, not their great writing.
I was a little surprised. I wouldn't put it in a list of top ten twist though.
The only reason people weren’t surprised is because people spoiled it before the game came out
The story was so bad I'm surprised anyone cared
How is Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic not in here...? I feel that game started a whole new fanbase and influences current star wars movies today... One of the best stories I have seen in a long time. The twist made the game even better by creating a personal connection with the player while remaining pretty consistent to its own lore not effecting the original trilogy. Truly a masterpiece in my opinion.
Post apocalyptic Bolton...
The reveal of your identity at the end of the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game. One of the greatest moments in gaming that no one saw coming.
Second playthrough of "Nier: Gestalt," got me; when I suddenly realized what...well, whom I was actually killing
