Kotor 1 caught me off guard, and I can usually sense plot twists like that from a mile away..

Digital Devil Saga 2's plot twist was pretty fucking cool

>protagonist is villian's son who was genetically created to develop incredibly fast and was created with a tick that would allow him to obey any command as long as it follows the phrase "would you kindly"
Shitty twist
>>
I honestly cannot think of one. The first Portal comes pretty close, but Bioshock did a better job of building up to the twist..

>inb4 idiots ITT say that the bioshock twist was lame because they already knew that it would happen because they had it spoiled for themselves.

Also, Matt Engarde being guilty was GOAT.

god looking back on it it baffles me that the bioshock games are successful at all

awful gameplay and fucking awful writing that thinks its way smarter than it is.

ken levine happened to read a wiki article about conditioning on the day he decided to write the script and the rest is history.

twist was lame because it pretends its smart while being revealed to you along with the rest of his plans by a maniac cartoon villain.

You can say all you want about Infinite but don't you fucking date act like BioShock 1 isn't one of the greatest games ever made.

Ken Levine aside because he's a massive flaming faggot, BS1 is perfection.

>the bullshit at the end where it's supposedly up to Phoenix to choose Engarde's verdict, but if you choose "Not Guilty" he gets the guilty verdict anyway
I'm still mad about this. It would have been better to not have that choice at all, than to create the illusion of free choice

Great case overall though.
>>
>>343327904
I think the mindfuck was about you thinking you did it all by yourself when in fact it was a setup. But SpecOps does the same thing better. And both of these games are shit at doing it, since both of them think that deconstruction of game design is worth a shit without providing the alternative choices. Not memeing here, but Undertale actually managed it better.

How its revealed is pretty shitty but the twist itself is really good.

How it ties in to mother 1 and 2 is great.
