Top 10 Worst Plot Twists In Video Games

Immersed Gamer writes: "Join us on a magical adventure to explore some of the sourest moments in gaming with our list of top 10 worst plot twists in video games history.

As with any form of media, plot twists may either make or break a video game. Poorly foreshadowed twists may appear forced and cheapen the entire experience. While the best ones improve and add another juicy layer to usually already interesting narrative and story.

I mean, everyone by now knows the twist to BioShock 1. And while I think it introduced certain plotholes it was breadcrumbed to the player so beautifully. It was so good in fact, that it’s talked about and referenced to this very day. The same is true about some of these games, but for totally opposite reasons…"

Nice list, I've enjoyed it. The 12 minutes plot twist sounds really awful. I wasn't planning to play the game and boy, am I not going to now.

Mazgamer1396d ago

Belive you me, you are only missing out on serious disappointment... deepened only by the fact that the game makes a seriously good first impression!

Wait wait wait, did I read the article correctly? Is this basically Sweet Home Alabama: The Game?!

**SPOILER - Dark Pictures Little Hope. STOP HERE!**

Yea, the Dark Pictures Little Hopes falls on one of the oldest tropes in Hollywood, "It was all just a dream!", but more in the sense of a schizophrenio-hallucinogenic episode. Lame. It's so overdone. Reminds me of Mario 2!

Pedrof1395d ago

What a horrible trope that is. Way to waste one's emotional investment.

Ugh, i tried to resist reading the rest of these spoilers for games i haven't played. I trusted the writer though that they're not worth wasting time on, and low and behold... several others were "It was all just a dream!" Such a cop out story mechanism! >_<

How about, we have a game where we have to most amazing groundbreaking gameplay and visuals. Then 20 mins in, you find that was all just a dream and the rest of the game looks and plays like utter sh**.

Mazgamer1395d ago

@OtterX I genuinely believe that Little Hope is one of the worst games to have the "it was all a dream" ending because the goal of the game is to keep as many characters alive till the end of the story. And it's such a shitty feeling to not be rewarded anything for that, like a specific ending or additional dialogues.

The Last of Us Part II takes the cake for this.
