9 Subtle Video Game Twists Everyone Missed

[@derbydriver]

The GTA V one... I thought it was kind of obvious that the sniper target was innocent as the your interrogation victim was just giving out a random description of a person so you'd stop torturing him. The point was to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of torturing someone who doesn't know anything and this guy got shot only because the guy you were torturing a guy who didn't know anything.

[@carlwhy]

Are you telling me that one of the hundreds of people I mercilessly and joyfully murdered in GTA V was actually... Innocent? I think I'm going to be sick.

[@dimez3702]

Carnage Racing lol I would have probably killed the bloke in free roam anyway

[@thoughtfuldoomguy]

This. Exactly. That was the whole point of the mission. Even in the immediate reaction afterwards by Michael the game is clearly implying that the guy was just random and chosen because the FIB needed some kind of target to say they eliminated. I didn't think this was meant to be hidden at all.

[@CreepX]

Killing random people? In GTA?? NOOOO!

[@bc5893]

When GTA v came up, I thought it was gonna talk about how Trevor was the target for the sniper shot in the beginning, but Brad just happened to walk in front of him, and was killed because of it

Wesker actually liking someone is a twist in itself.

[@landismithCOJ]

I meant Wesker liking anyone, not just in a romantic way.

[@Crimsontiger133]

Wesker actually liked Chris. A fun little fact but in RE1 his intentions were to bring Chris along with him on his escapade but Chris "betrays" him for obvious reasons. You literally find notes from Wesker describing items he left for you. And also I dunno if capcom did it on purpose but there are a few areas that mysteriously open up which I always thought was Wesker's handiwork.

[@simul8rduude]

@@Crimsontiger133 that was sort of what I was getting at with that as well. And I know it was just to keep the plot moving when he locks Jill in the same prison cell when you play as Chris, but playing as Jill if Wesker didn't like Chris in some kind of way I would've imagined he would've just killed him then and there instead of locking him up and risking him escaping to stop his plans. Like in RE5 as well, when you face Wesker and he says "I should've killed you years ago." Well, why the hell didnt you Albert?

But if the phrase “would you kindly” was mind-control, what was the point on him making a fake persona with a fake family that died in the first place?

[@mattuwu9978]

I knew from the very beginning that something wasn’t right with Lucas. Marguerite, Jack, and Zoe were clearly normal people at one point in time (evident by the care of certain decorations in the house, like the statue holding the shotgun). The mold took that normality from them, stripped them down to primal instinct, and made them irredeemably *reckless*. Post-mold, both Marguerite and Jack lacked any sense of self-preservation. They simply didn’t care whether or not they died at the hands of Ethan. The only family member (sans Zoe) who had a single care for their own life was Lucas. He was always completely cognizant of what he was doing, remained articulate, and continued to be incredibly competent with technology. This form of higher brain function was essentially absent in Marguerite and Jack.

[@Ashtarte3D]

The twist in Inside isn't that you're a villain but that you've been puppeteering the boy the whole time. Which isn't inherently villainous given how fucked up that world is and the secret ending is you finally breaking the puppeteer system.

My favorite game twist will always be your character in Knights of the Old Republic being the supposedly dead Sith Lord Revan. The fact that the game shows you the small hints throughout the game as this is revealed is kind of cool. I was blown away when I first played it in '05. Late to the party, but thankfully not spoiled. In hindsight, it was obvious. A masked Sith who never spoke and the occasional talk of mind manipulation and you being special made it so apparent. It's been a while, but I think Calo Nord may have alluded to the PC's identity during your encounter with him after Taris. Maybe even in the scene where he's shown to be alive. I should really play KotOR again.

[@WakenerOne]

1:15: First of all, nobody missed the connection between Wander and Ico any more than anyone missed the connection between the Boy from The Last Guardian and Trico from both (especially given the original names, "Ico," "Nico," and "Trico"). But more importantly, DORMIN DID *_NOT_* "TRICK" WANDER. Dormin told him up front that it was possible, but that the price Wander would pay would be immense. Wander told Dormin that "It doesn't matter." Only _then_ did Dormin tell him what needed to be done. And in the end, Dormin kept the promise. Mono is alive at the end, isn't she? Wander paid an immense price, right? Show me the dishonesty.

[@Mariewolf_94]

i believe the dishonesty is the fact that that "price" Wander had to pay was the release of Dormin and following possession by him. unless theres confirmed lore Wander was well aware that the Colossi were passive guardians and Dormin was a trickster from the start, then Wander was in fact tricked

[@WakenerOne]

@@Mariewolf_94 Uhhh . . . NO. Dormin tells Wander that the price will be great. 100% True. Wander tells Dormin that _he doesn't _*_care_* how great the price is; let's get this show on the road. There is ZERO deception there. Your case is nothing more than, "Dormin said that the price was great, and Wander agreed that price was no object . . . but *I* object to the price!" That doesn't make Dormin dishonest. You can't say they were lying about how great the price was when Wander already told them that no price was too high.

[@Mariewolf_94]

@@WakenerOne fair enough, but it still begs the question if Wander KNEW killing the Colussi would free a dark being of destruction. if he did, then youre not wrong: there was no deception if he was fully aware of the stakes but didnt care. if he DIDNT know, then there was deception, even if it was only a half lie. omitting information is still lying to some extent

[@jessiehogue.]

@@Mariewolf_94 Not even then, no. Wander did not care about that. He only cared about resurrecting her, and he did not care about the price. What Dormin and the Colossi were had nothing to do with his request. There was no deception, and no half lie. If you ask me to give you a lift, but you hate foreigners and I did not tell you I was a foreigner when I accepted to give you a lift, I'm not deceiving you. You did not ask whether I was a foreigner or not, hence it had nothing to do with our deal whatsoever. It's completely unrelated. That your request benefits the person helping you has nothing to do with you, so it's none of your business, and it's not deception for them not to tell you. WakenerOne is 100% right.

[@Exile_Sky]

Plot twist: Dormin was a good God, not an evil one. Evidence: Dormin warns Wander against doing the ritual in their first meeting, and even warns him of the cost, but respects his decision and doesn't warn him again. Dormin also kept his promise and through out the game you can hear Wander's love breathing during the transition scenes. Even if he hadn't been turned into a baby, she would have come back to life just as Dormin promised.

[@FastForwardPlans]

Na, that does not make Dormin good, it just means he/she/it is honest. Honesty does not mean you are good or bad.

[@lorddinosaur9885]

I believed this theory but one thing that makes me doubtful is that when you attempt to leave the Forbidden Land across the bridge, you are prevented from doing so. This is most likely just for gameplay reasons but there has to be an explanation for it, though there could be several reasons for Dormin trapping Wander in.

[@Exile_Sky]

@@lorddinosaur9885 It's absolutely a gameplay thing, but Wander wouldn't want to leave the Forbidden Land. They want to complete the ritual, it's why the game is even taking place. The player heading to the edge and trying to leave is actually counter to the desires of the Character.

[@Exile_Sky]

@@FastForwardPlans Honesty is a good trait, that's why people dislike dishonest people. Given Dormin's position, they had no reason to keep their word, but they did anyway. It makes more sense to me that the ancient people just became afraid of a being that could control life and death. Fear is a powerful motivator, and it can blind you to things that are true.

[@FastForwardPlans]

@@Exile_Sky One trait does not a whole complex being make. Honesty while in a simplified view is good, but people can be honest in ways that are bad for those around them. For a light example, say someone is overweight and very self conscious of it. Yes it is true they are overweight but repeatedly telling them they are does not help them. It is simply being malicious and may in fact cause them to harm themselves. For a more extreme example, say I knew exactly where some random dude in canada lives, and I choose to share that information with people I knew would use it to threaten or hurt said dude in Canada. Again that is honest, but not good. In the case of Dormin, he was honest and acted on his promise, as he knew it would push Wander to keep going even when it became obvious that the process was killing Wander. It's actually a common trope in fiction about demons of them being completely honest and open, yet still tricking people into self destruction anyway, as the information that given, while true, just drove them forward to their own end.

And a couple of throwaway lines/dated vernaculars (“no centaurs in Oxford”; “she got what she wanted in the end”) show the complete extent to his villainy without explicitly saying/showing what happened to Lizzie. Also, in Among the Sleep, the lullaby that the mother hums at the beginning is an old Swedish folk song called “Trollmors vaggsång” (Troll Mother’s Lullaby) about a troll mother putting her little ones to sleep.

Under interrogation, we learned of his potential value (son of the Jarl of Windhelm) and he was assigned as an asset to the interrogator, who is now First Emissary Elenwen. He was made to believe information obtained during his interrogation was crucial in the capture of the Imperial City (the city had in fact fallen before he had broken), and then allowed to escape. After the war, contact was established and he has proven his worth as an asset. The so-called Markarth Incident was particularly valuable from the point of view of our strategic goals in Skyrim, although it resulted in Ulfric becoming generally uncooperative to direct contact. Operational Notes: Direct contact remains a possibility (under extreme circumstances), but in general the asset should be considered dormant. As long as the civil war proceeds in its current indecisive fashion, we should remain hands-off. The incident at Helgen is an example where an exception had to be made - obviously Ulfric's death would have dramatically increased the chance of an Imperial victory and thus harmed our overall position in Skyrim. (NOTE: The coincidental intervention of the dragon at Helgen is still under scrutiny. The obvious conclusion is that whoever is behind the dragons also has an interest in the continuation of the war, but we should not assume therefore that their goals align with our own.) A Stormcloak victory is also to be avoided, however, so even indirect aid to the Stormcloaks must be carefully managed." By read of that the Thalmor did in fact establish contact and use Ulfric as an asset against the Empire to pull off the Markarth Incident. After which Ulfric ultimately became "uncooperative", and thus dubbed "dormant". Though the Thalmor are continuing to monitor and aid Ulfric when they can in order to continue the on going Civil War and ensure there is no clear cut winner for the time being. They even go so far as to say that "Direct contact remains a possibility (under extreme circumstances)". Meaning the Thalmor still believe they can directly contact and use him as an asset if in dire need.

[@TheBoyBK585]

Alkaline Atheris He constantly kept telling Jason to run, to get out. And that he didn’t know what he was getting into. And kept leaving Jason alive in situations where he easily could’ve killed him. He also talks about how they tried to turn him into a Warrior too. And screaming out “Me or them!” And then in the visions it constantly shows Jason morphing in and out of Vaas and Himself. Implying that he’s becoming Vaas essentially.

the biggest WTF moment / reveal for me was the game where in the end you find out you are brainwashed into carrying out a man's deeds simply by being told "Would you kindly." I dunno, it left quite the impression in me, it's still fresh in my mind after all these years. I forgot the game's name.

Death stranding is so mind bogglingly insane that it's somewhat impossible to perfectly piece together the story.

[@Nakima666]

Dormin didn't trick Wander, though. Dormin still did exactly when was asked of them in exchange for the destruction of the sixteen Colossi. Wander had to have some sort of idea that there would be a price to pay for reviving another person, and he still went through with the exchange anyway.

[@WakenerOne]

Exactly. Dormin even TOLD Wander that the price would be great, and Wander said that the price didn't matter. Only once that was understood did Dormin explain what needed to be done.

He literally tells you that there's spoilers for Death Stranding before they go over the plot twist. It's also number one on the list, which is the very last video shown. Once you got to that point in the video, there was no reason to keep watching. If you didn't want spoilers, you should've turned off the video right there. Once you learned it was Death Stranding, you should've stopped watching. It's your fault that it got spoiled, not his. What? Did you think he was joking around and you decided to stick around to call his bluff?

For inside I prefer the theory that pulling the plug breaks the cycle of tests that the facility is running to improve the huddle or hivemind. They want the player to make it to the huddle, that's why they have a miniature layout of the facility and the surrounding area, and even the spot where the player stops at the end when fused within the huddle.

Regarding Alan Wake and Control: The song that plays during the Ashtray Maze part is also played by the band you meet in Alan Wake, Old Gods of Asgard. Though, of course, after the release of AWE expansion for Control, it's pretty much in your face, seeing as the entire expansion is a continuation to the Alan Wake story.

[@Graham567]

Actually, all Remedy games have continuiety at some point. It is like Tarantino's universe. Alan Wake is a book, Control is a conspiracy theory, Max Payne is a comic, and Quantum Break is the reality sort of thing

The one thing that stood out to me, was that although he was willingly killing people, he was still sort of more human than his parents, like he was a total sociopath but if you were to put him in a public face he’d almost, kind of fit in.

I finished Death Stranding and ignored the pizza deliveries treating it as an annoying side quest. Found it pretty odd that the messages he sends after each delivery are still sent to you even after beating the game.

You don’t need to deliver all of the pizzas to find out that Higgs was the pizza guy. You only need to deliver the first one to establish contact. Near the end of the game, I think around the time you make it to Edge Knot, he’ll send you a somewhat cryptic email but the implication is pretty clear that it’s Higgs.
