Top Five - Worst Video Game Plot Twists

SFL Chronicle: Ah, video game plot twists! They can turn an otherwise great story into a brilliant story (think of the original inFamous here for a moment). Most of the time, however, plot twists in video games are just plain bad. Sometimes so bad that they lead to a lot of hilarity. So let’s talk about the elephant in the room; this top five is about the worst plot twists in video games…

What the fuck did I just read?

humbleopinion5337d ago

And a poor one that is.
The whole 5-2 list seems like a void filler for some public whining the writer felt the need to share concerning the fact that Shepard was recovered from a near death situation at the Mass Effect 2 intro sequence. But the ridiculous thing is that this isn't even an actual plot twist. It was already revealed in the Teaser Trailer ages before the game came out:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

The actual twist in the game is that the teaser made people think that Shepard died and turned into geth after dying, and instead it was revealed that he's alive and working with Cerberus. The Geth we see in the teaser then responsible for another awesome plot twist towards the end of the game.

/v/-quality trolling at its finest.

krazykombatant5337d ago

Weird shit in there, BUT I will agree with the ME2 thing, they never touched on shepard coming back to life, if he had this crazy bouts or some shit that would have made the game much cooler, and it would have helped the dark atmosphere they tried to implement.

Legion5337d ago

Why again do we need to harp on people needing to be emotional about a near death moment? It happens to so many people all the time, and you see the stupid plots on TV or the films about people getting all emotional and then changing or reflecting on their lives.

Sorry... in real life it rarely brings a come to Jesus moment to those that aren't religious. For the vast majority of people they never speak or talk of the subject and quickly move on with their life.

Only in TV and movies do you get the bad realization moments where people try to comprehend something more from their death or near death moments.

I am glad ME2 didn't fall into the typical Oprah moment where Sheppard needs to sit down on the couch and explain that he is a new man and cry into the big bosoms of hers. And then of course he would have to jump on the couch and shout his love for Jack or Miranda.

Nothing wrong with his thoughts(or non-thoughts)on death. But I actually prefer Jacks thoughts on Death when she meets new enemies... "HELLO, DEAD PEOPLE!". Simple greetings get you everyplace.

Tommykrem5337d ago (Edited 5337d ago )

I don't like the thought process behind the choices. To take FFVII as an example, the choice seems to be explained by that the twist has been done before (what hasn't?), but because people actually care for this choice. Also, Aerith has as both as much personality as 32-bit and two CDs will allow. For what it's worth it was a sympatethic character, that had had a huge build up relationship with several of the other characters, that was suddenly removed from story and gameplay without pre-warning. Don't know if that's been done before.

If a list, which is pretty much the cheapest way to write an article to begin with, is going to be good enough for N4G it should have some overall point to it and be well written. Some objectivity and research wouldn't hurt either.

EDIT: The sin-gularity pun is funny though :)

KFox1095337d ago

To be entirely honest, aside from my honest frustration with Mass Effect 2, most of the article is meant to be humorous. It's not really meant to be taken as seriously as other things I've written on there. You are very much right about your points here. Glad you liked the pun, by the by!

Tommykrem5337d ago

Ah, I suppose I read this with my serious glasses on. There are some good jokes here all right.

redking3155337d ago (Edited 5337d ago )

did i just read an article in which the author stated that Dragon Age II was one of the best games this generation? Better than Mass Effect 2? I mean sure the endless pandering to Mass Effect 2 does get on my nerves it was a great game, but it is hard to deny that it was better than DAII. Please, if this is the world my children are going to inherit kill me now so they will never be born

Edit. Oh it was a joke post

Slugg3r5337d ago

God of war doesn't succeed in action department?

swice5337d ago

Apparently not.

Also, Metroid Other M had the absolute best gameplay this generation.

Wow.

PR_FROM_OHIO5337d ago (Edited 5337d ago )

LMAO that's what i thought to myself when i read that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VenomUK81d ago

I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.

TheDreamCorridor81d ago

If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.

DivineHand125104d ago

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.

Knightofelemia104d ago

I wish Square would port other old games to newer systems I want Xenogears.

gold_drake104d ago
