>worst plot twist
It was actually kind of clever.

>>333596175
This however is true, this game was just generally shit.
>>
The entirity of ME3

>>333596056
I'll take this entire game over TPP.

>>333596056
>>333596931
All of ME2 is the worst plot twist in gaming.

I mean, there's hundreds of horrible plot twists, rewrites, and nonsense, but we can just bundle it all into one horrible plot twist.
>>
>>333597216
Yeah technically you're right, it started with ME2.

The full effects weren't really felt until ME3 though.
>>
>>333596056
Not this faggot, take your shit taste and get out.
>>
>>333596056

It's stupid as fuck, but it's at least kinda interesting.

The dumbest plot twists in vidya have to go to Yakuza games.
>>
Everything about that game was bad

Not really worst but when I saw the design of Dagran's eyes first hand, I knew full well he was going to betray you.

Someone who thought the TTEOT plot twist was kinda neat when I played it, admittedly, 10 years ago. Someone explain to me why everyone hates it so much?
>>
>>333597582
I fucking LOVED this game, but holy fuck it needed to be like 20 hours longer. I was just getting engrossed and then it railroads you in to the final battle, I thought I was at the half way mark
>>
>>333596056
It's actually bretty good, atleast they are trying to make it interesting
>>
MGSV

It was also executed horribly.
>>
>>333596056
That pretty much got my vote.
After the twist, I really wanted the "villain" to win.
>>
>>333596056

That Star Ocean is right up there. After it I more or less lost all will to finish it.
>>
>>333597678
If it was a self contained game there wouldn't be a problem. But it's not a self contained game. It's the 3rd installment of a series and that twist basically was a spit in the face of the other two.
>>
Never played a Phantasy Star game, what's the twist?

SO3 had good music, but that fuckin' plot twist. I didn't understand how something jump the shark so bad. Before the twist, it was actually getting interesting. Then... this...

There's a difference between being original, and then being full retarded.

>>333599630
That's how all the Star Ocean games go. You mostly fuck about with primitive savages for 80% of each game until it gets back around to the sci-fi stuff again near the end.
>>
SO3 by far, like you can't come close.

It's literally like finding out the plot in a parody doujin was a dream.

It's already non-canon, why make non-canon OF a fucking non-canon?

SO3 rendered the whole universe events meaningless.

I don't see the problem.

It's actually brilliant. The idea that a computer program could create technologies, spells, reproduce in a way realisticly by keeping characteristics of family and then letting that being escape it's creation limitations. Come on how is that bad?

No surprise. I've never seen anyone complain about it who did.
>>
>>333600001
kotor actually impressed me back in the day, good shit
PoE threw a massive lore-twist just before the last boss, and it was awesome, if you bothered reading all the side sheets
>>
>>333600405
OP said in gaming.
>>
>>333598037
The actual twist was a great idea. The execution was the problem.
>>
>>333600751
The fact that it was the last game in the series also contributed to the twist being such a slap in the face. I think it would have been a fine twist in a spinoff game or if it had been MGS4 or something, but knowings its the last game in the series and introducing so many new loose ends was irritating beyond words.
>>

*introducing so many new loose ends and resolving none of the existing ones.

>not realising that kojima tried pulling a MGS2 2.0

SRWZ3
1st part
OK, so Advent seems pretty on the level. I really hope he's not gonna turn out to be a villain who was only pretending to help. That's a cliché that is severely overused in SRW games now.
Huh, he sacrificed himself. OK, that's actually a bit of a shocking moment there. Was expecting a bit more from the guy.

2nd part
Oh fuck you.
>>
>>333596056
You first.

>>333599730
Yeah because clearly your existence being willed by a higher being isn't something serious.
>>
>>333601104
I'm aware that it was an attempt to pull MGS2.0, but I think the obviously rushed nature of the game and the fact that it was the final iteration in the series meant that it kind of fell flat on its face.

This had a tidier (and entirely optional) subversion of identity and identification. Light touches work better.
>>
>>333596056

that plot twist just ruined the game for me

i dont think i finished it after that
>>
>>333601590
yea you're right, it wasn't as well executed and clever.
it also seemed like a game targeted at fans of MGS 3, wich was a game with very little mindfuckery and twisty stuff.
>>
>>333601104
i mean i guess, but fuck dude, the game was a clusterfuck. at least 2 eventually had your brain melting out your ears as raiden's reality crumbles, but V? It's fucking stupid and Kojima is a hack
>>
Eternal Sonata most likely.
>>
>>333596175
What was the twist in this again? That Faize was dawksided?
>>
>>333596056
So what was the twist? You're trapped in a game or you're just playing a game throught the game?

Both of these were bad
>>
>>333601783
we should appreciate it for what it did right, offering amazing gameplay.
sadly not that well used since the environments often suck and the bossfights are ass, but still! gameplay was alright.
though it kinda feels weird, best gameplay should mean i want to replay it constantly like i did with MGS 3, but i think it suffers from being too long and too samey.
>>
>>333600415

I've played the game three times and watched the ending several. I know the whole "b-but they're strong independent soffwarz who need no code" and it doesn't change a thing. They are made out of data and stored in a server, therefore they do not exist.

They even had the whole "cogito ergo sum" trio retard ending.

>>333601839

The entire SO universe happens in a simulator programmed by the real humans. Think Populus and Sims running in autoplay.
>>
Metal Gear Solid 2.
>>
>>333601368
>Dude with smug out of nowhere try to help you
>He died without any plot

Not suspicious at all huh ?
>>
>>333602028
You're just confirming you didn't get it even after playing three times. You're either looking for things to complain about or an idiot.
>>
>>333597582
The rhythm of that game was frantic. Really fun.
>>
>>333596056
Can someone summarize the twist?
I see the game constantly posted in these threads.
>>
>>333602016
Just doesn't feel right. Can't even tranquilize coral snakes to use as weapons anymore.

Plus the game isn't even finished. It just kinda ends.
>>
>>333596056
Why do people hate this plot twist so much? It's pretty much the same as SO2's plot twist, on a larger scale.
>>
>>333602441
basically, the world of the protaganist is like a computer game to 4th dimensional beings.

Then like the people who are inside the game gets batshit advanced technology, with the capability to enter into the 4d world.
>>
>>333602016
It was more like a demo of great gameplay than an actual game though. A full MGS game with that gameplay would have been fucking great, but instead we got like two empty levels of freeroam bullshit without any real reason to actually do anything with the nice gameplay.

VLR is debatable because it's more shock value than anything else, but I personally loved it.
However, 999 ? I'm sorry but that one is straight up magic. Literally the first time I see someone complaining about it.
>>
>>333599583
How exactly does it spit in the face of the other two?

Because nothing that happened in the series matters.
>>
>>333602197
What twist?
>>
>>333603393
Except everything matters though. It mattered so much that the 4D beings wanted to shut down the Eternal Sphere but it was too late as the beings inside their "program" had advanced to the point where they could go into the 4th dimension and fight for their right to exist.
>>
>>333602441
It's like if a World of Warcraft character became self aware that he is just a mmo character in a videogame. The real life people want to delete the game and the main character wants none of that because he will obviously die and finds a way out to the real world to stop it from happening. Sorta like that
>>
>>333602441
The universe that the games take place in are part of a simulation/game made by a higher power (referred to as 4th dimensional beings) who want to shut the game down because the lifeforms inside of it are becoming too advanced.
>>
>>333597582
Is that game good?
I may pick it up.
>>
Metal Gear. The original Metal Gear.
>>
>>333601960
You posted these in the hopes of spoiling people and not because you actually thought they were bad, huh
