StaceyPowers Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Can you think of any games that featured “plot twists” that you missed, but which in hindsight seemed obvious? In other words, plot elements that may have only felt like twists to you, but not most gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyPowers Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 In another thread, I posted about obvious plot elements that you might have missed. Conversely, what are some games where something put in as a plot twist—or which other gamers called a plot twist—seemed obvious to you early on? For example, I’ve heard a lot of people call the big reveal in BioShock Infinite a plot twist. But to me it just seemed like normal plot. I guessed it quite early.

Heatman Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Well, I certainly believe that we have a very good example in what happened in Spec Ops : The Line. It's considered the greatest plot twist in video games history. All the atrocities committed by Captain Walker and his small team in an end justify the means mode to find Konrad by killing a lot of people. You can remember the massacre of innocent woman and children with the use of white phosphorus but in the end, it was discovered that Konrad has long been dead. Show me a better plot twist than that, I'd wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I felt left out in the plot twist in Shadow Of The Colossus. I was able to get a clearer picture of everything when I was almost completing the game. I'm not sure if others felt thy same way about the game.

Empire Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I actually never even realized you the main character were Revan. I mean I thought it at first, but I also thought maybe one of the jedi's could have been Revan. Or that Revan altogether was dead actually dead. But at the time it was released I can kinda see why people really thought the story was good. I just enjoy those kinda games in general so I didn't expect it to have an amazing story. Still kept me interested though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 When I played BioShock I didn't really pay attention to the story and I only played to complete the Mission for most part but later into the game I realised that jack is a merely a pawn under Fontaine’s hypnotic control and was brainwashed into killing Ryan.

Scorpion Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Absolutely! In "The Sixth Sense," the twist felt surprising at first, but looking back, there were clues I totally missed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
