Does anybody know of any games that start one way, but by the end of the game it feels like it's a completely different story or experience? Like it feels like a different game tonally, story-wise, character-wise, or maybe even gameplay-wise? But in a good a way? Pic unrelated.

I'd like to know too, I know of anime that start with a happy tone & turn really dark at some point. I can't help but feel that I've encountered vidya like that too, but can't recall.
Frog Fractions
Try it, it's good
Ace Combat something
>>332996074
>in a good way
Maybe an MMO? Endgame is generally nothing like leveling, yet some people say endgames are the best parts.
Frog Fractions
>>332998017
yeah this, 1000xthis, don't talk about it, just go play it
>>332998017
Still waiting for Frog Fractions 2
>>332998017
When's part 2 coming out?
>>332996074
Metal Gear Solid 2?
>>332996074
Some may not agree with me, but I think Bloodborne fits that description pretty well.
I went into it thinking that it would be some kind of classic horror movie type thing with zombies and werewolves, but then all of a sudden it turned into a story about killing alien gods and traversing dreams.
>>332996074
Bloodborne
>>332998017
This is on the money.
>>332996074
I know that some will blast me for even mentioning it, but Spec Ops: The Line sure would be a surprise if you went to play it without knowing anything about it beforehand.
>>332998398
I agree on this. I too thought I would be killing werewolves and what not, when suddenly ayylmaos.
>>332998398
Yeah, that cosmic horror twist certainly wasn't something that I expected.
>>332998465
This. Although I don't know if it's completely different, it goes in an interesting direction for sure.
higurashi starts off as a moe slice of life and gradually turns into horror/murdery mystery thing. it's a VN and you'd have to have been sleeping under a rock for a long time to not have heard of it though i suppose
Final Fantasy VI sure takes a darker tone after the Floating Continent, even the entire color tone of the world changes to a more dreary one.
>>332996074
The Darkness. It's true that the Darkness is present in him the entire game, but you can sense how it affects Jackie over time. Additionally, afterJenny dies,the game goes from plodding through dark alleys and subway stations to hallucinating visions of trench warfare World War I and fighting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.The setting is what kept me going; the FPS gameplay itself was limp and boring.
The original Portal fits this, right?
Pony Island. it fucking blows though
Drakenguard
seems like a fantasy dynasty warriors
but then you get into incest, baby eating, pedophilia, these things,fighter jets in modern day Tokyo
>>332998017
How do I get some fucking zorkmids
>>332996074
Hotline Miami 2
>>332998359
>Metal Gear Solid 2?
this could work. You start out as Solid Snake on a taker and by the end you are some whiny piece of shit ignoring a retarded AI while sword fighting the former President on top of Federal Hall
>>332998398
I don't know why but the transition to ayy lmaos in BB didn't really seem that huge to me. Sure the level aesthetic changed a lot, but not much else. And besides, did you really expect a game by Miyazaki to be nothing more than a cheesy 80s vampire movie?
ME2 can get pretty bleak on midgame and forward, mostly with loyalty missions andyour crew getting captured by Collectors.
Evoland
Rondo of Swords.
Starts out like your typical Fire Emblem game, but there's a choice you get to make roughly around the half way point that can set you on a really dark path.
>>332999095
is the anime any good?
That cute little platform game where the world starts to go all to shit and creepypasta mode.
Dragon's Dogma has a pretty big revelation about the nature of its universe.
>>332998017
>>332998237
>>332998263
Why am I now playing a game about fractions?And what's with the infinite underwater fruit stash?
>>333000973
Pretty sure the first one is Eversion.
>>333000668
i thought it was pretty solid, i didn't enjoy it as much as the original VNs but i guess it's nice if you don't have the 80+ hours required to spend reading.
>>332996074
Bloodborne instantly came to mind.
You start in a dark victorian town killing zombies, and soon you're on a bright white lake killing a spider god of some sort. And after that it's not even dark anymore
one ending in hyperdimension neptunia mk2/ rebirth 2 kinda fits this description
>>333002574
yeah, that was very fucked up
No vanilla sky the game. :(
Star Ocean 3 but it sucks as, also Nier.
>>332996074
Radiata Stories feels really different in terms of tone by the end of the game.
>>332996074

You're welcome
