everything was going so well and then
you had to throw in a nonsensical
confusing plot twist and just ruin
everything
Wesker are alive welcome to
watchmojo.com is it we’ll be counting
down our picks for the top ten worst
video game plot twists don’t ask mark
okay heard all I need to hear kiddo
for this list we’ve selected the
absolute worst video game plot twists
that ruined otherwise great stories it
should go without saying but this list
will be chock-full of spoilers so
continue at your own risk number 10
Scott Shelby is the origami killer heavy
rain
remember what we said about spoilers be
warned Jeff the writers at Quantic Dream
came so close to creating one of the
coolest murder mysteries in the history
of gaming yet their big blonde twist
with Scott Shelby being the origami
killer opens up an enormous plot hole in
the game in the clock shop Scott
apparently murdered Manfred and yet when
you enter the back room of the store
while controlling Scott Manfred is
already dead hello Manfred hello your
call is long term a police car will be
there in a few minutes it’s arguably
implied that Lauren the only possible
witness was distracted by a ballerina
figure when that happened but it
happened so quickly that Scott would
have had to have super speed to kill
Manfred in time well two old friends
number nine it was all a dream
Super Mario Brothers too although it
does technically explain the game’s
bizarre mechanics and style the ending
in Super Mario Brothers 2 is as
anticlimactic as it gets
once you defeat the last boss you enter
a room where you uncork a pot freeing a
bunch of fairies that were trapped
inside for some reason then it’s
revealed that the entire game was a
dream and we all know that if someone
dreams about flying masks small mushroom
headed people and pink dinosaur
creatures that jump around spitting eggs
at you that is considered a nightmare
not just a dream
number eight titus checked oren and
Zanarkand are all the dream Final
Fantasy 10 maybe you have a dream that
will end our dreaming at last the
opening scenes in Final Fantasy can are
pretty cool with Titus fleeing the
destruction of his futuristic homeland
then he wakes up Inspira meets waka and
the plot goes down the drain
the problem with final fantasy tan twist
is that it loses all of its potential
punch by being so convoluted what
happened nothing I blacked out I was
dreaming it turns out that titus his
father jecht or on and his home city are
all basically summoned to projections
kind of like dreams that survived a
devastating war eons in the past and
live on as imagined entities walking in
the real world hang on what what’s
gotten into you ray number seven vork is
alive Call of Duty ghosts revenge
stories can make for great video game
plot lines but not when they’re executed
as heavy handedly as in call duty ghosts
being supposedly abandoned by his squad
mates prior to the events of the game
Roark was brainwashed and turned into
the ultimate revenge killing machine
anyway all that aside most people cannot
survive being shot in what appears to be
the heart with a hand cannon
but add to that falling into a raging
river from inside of a crashing train
and then he gets up and walks around
like this no way bro look at what you
did you’re good
number six the Internet is a living
thing Indigo Prophecy a Simple Touch for
me and you will be erased forever Indigo
Prophecy
is a visual novel filled with convoluted
storytelling and ridiculous twists it’s
difficult to pick one bad twist of it
stands above the rest especially when
there are so many head scratchers you’re
not really Agatha are you no you’re
right
poor Agatha died in her apartment the
most outlandish however is the
introduction of the purple clan a group
of AI type creatures that spawned from
the internet which is actually a
sentient being that can raise the dead
to unleash a plot to freeze the entire
world
like what
also for some reason the members of the
purple clan are yellow
number-5 Pandora’s box contains hope God
of War 3 what is the meaning of this
Kratos is such a badass and nothing can
really change that not even the horribly
cheesy plot twists revealed in Dawn of
War 3 I told you it was empty
and or was sacrificed in vain he’s just
cracked the skulls of too many gods to
let some cute little narrative tool ruin
his legacy but the plot twists in God of
War three came dangerously close to
undermining Kratos his fat-ass status
when you open the box you release the
Eagles to the gods the culmination of
the series where he opens Pandora’s box
and discovers the only thing that can
save humanity is hope these are really
weak attempts to make Kratos a bit more
sympathetic
number four Melissa Bergman is mother
brain metroid other m i’m Samus Aran
what’s your name Madeline
Berkman how the heck did team ninja
manage to botch a seemingly flawless
series like Metroid so badly well for
starters they tried to imbue other M
with an overwhelmingly boring narrative
wait MB calm down after Samus is
summoned to a space station overrun by
aliens and space pirates by the
station’s director Madeline Bergman a
boring convoluted plot unfolds where
it’s finally revealed that Madeline
Bergman is actually Melissa or MB an
Android created by the real Madeline
Bergman who has developed the human
hating emotions of Mother Brain my name
is Madeline Bergman wait a minute
I met another woman who called herself
Madeline Birdman what’s going on here
get it Melissa Bergman MB mother brain
yeah we were disappointed too number 3
ridin is actually the main character
Metal Gear Solid 2 security breach in
the area general alert to all personnel
after the critical acclaim for Metal
Gear Solid and the reason release of the
more powerful ps2 Hardware fans were
going crazy with anticipation for the
second chapter in Solid Snake’s
espionage saga
snake do you read me Otacon loud and
clear snake what followed was one of the
greatest troll jobs in gaming after
controlling the iconic snake for one
mission you are promptly thrust in the
shoes of riding for the rest of the game
a somewhat whiny weak willed substitute
who just pales in comparison I was
trained to fight my personal feelings
have no place in a mission Metal Gear
Solid 2 is still an awesome experience
but man where people let down by this
the terrorists call themselves Sons of
Liberty Sons of Liberty the name of
their leader is Solid Snake number two
your mechanical arm is your wife Bionic
Commando Emily I never left Nathan the
2009 Bionic Commando reboot is filled
with cringe-worthy moments from rad
Spencer’s questionable dreadlocked
redesigned down to the cheesy acting but
nothing’s worse than the reveal above
the disappearance of Spencer’s wife and
the origins of his trademark bionic arm
it turns out that in order for bionics
like rads arm to work properly they need
to sync up perfectly with the hosts on
both an emotional and physical level so
that means that Spencer’s wife
sacrificed herself to have her spirit or
whatever used to make his arm not only
is that dumb but there’s a great
masturbation joke in there somewhere
that is what emotional bond must be
strong by the catalyst must be someone
close before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions so I tried
to warn you off I’m sorry
so slow to catch on
number one the whole world is a video
game Star Ocean till the end of time
relax I’ll explain everything if never
good when a video game tries to get to
meta and that’s especially true when the
game already suffers from shoddy writing
you have to give the writers credit for
trying to make things interesting
but unfortunately the plot twist is
horrid we’re just characters living
inside a simulator turns out that the
entire world is just a video game
universe created by creatures from the
fourth dimension and your party is
simply AI that has become advanced
enough to achieve self-awareness it
really undermines everything that’s
happened in the game beforehand because
you realize that none of it matters this
is ridiculous
you’re nothing more than a collection of
zeros and ones and then you wonder why
we haven’t seen a sequel set after this
then why did you bring us here hmm
curiosity mainly do you agree with our
list yes sir did we forget any awful
