>>87227And then..greatest one liner ever. Really hoping the boys at Irrational Games and get the rights back so we can finish this bitch off once and for all.
Oh hey this is pretty awesome, finally at the top of the stupid tower, guess I'll finally see who's behind thWHAT
"I believe you think you're Harry Mason. Hell, I believe you ARE Harry Mason! But Harry Mason was killed in a car crash eighteen years ago."When at last this was said, my mind exploded in bloody chunks all over the floor."Your dad wasn't a hero, wasn't your knight in shining armor. He was a human being. You never knew him, and you never will.";_;
>>87328]Maybe I'm in the minority, but I found the whole "Harry is already dead" thing to be a HUGE give away when they basically started showing off that Cheryl was already a teenager. Which was basically shown really early on in the game.
>>87339I'm not sure how those two facts are connected? I mean it was clear that SOMETHING was fucky when we saw that, but it didn't exactly jump up and down and scream HE'S DEAD HE'S DEAD HE'S DEAD
>>87340To go into detail, when I was playing the game I was thinking "Okay, how is Cheryl this time going to be connected to the cult and what crazy shit is going to be happening this time." Then the part where you find out she's a teenager in high school basically shows up and I thought to myself "Alright, so Harry probably died in the car crash and now Cheryl is somehow bringing him back to life with her possible witch craft. Now to wait and see how this gets explained." So I waited and waited and then the lighthouse scene comes up and Cybil blurts out that Harry died in the car crash. I said to myself "Okay I guessed that already but how the fuck is he alive now." Then the game ended and I was confused. So I just left it at that until I read up what it was all about and giving it a lot of thought; I find the script of that game to be completely retarded.
>>87342That's not the game telegraphing its twists, that's you engaging in wild guessing based on limited data and incorrect assumptions, and by luck guessing about a quarter of it right.
>>87343Perhaps, but I wouldn't personally be surprised if a lot of other people guessed that part of the twist as well. It's not as if it hadn't been used before a bunch of times.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
>>87306How the fuck is that a twist?
>>87356HAHA my friend totally guessed that as a JOKE. like, two weeks before it came out, just "haha i bet the precursors are just ottsels controlling shit a la the wizard of oz""haha leah ur so funny"TWO WEEKS LATER"HOLY FUCKING SHIT"
Also, yes. Legacy of Kain, for the win.
>I'm not a bad guy in this game.That was a major WUT moment for me. It also made me feel terrible.
>>87378I want a figure of him. He was a Bro.
>>87328>>87339>>87340>>87342>>87343>>87344Because guessing that a character in Silent Hill is dead is so hard to do.
>>87385To be fair, most people who play bad games also have low IQs.
Alucard is Dracula's son.WHAT!?
>>87379THIS.
>>87357I couldn't find the sprite for the actual game. Calm down, man.
>>87356What, you didn't see it coming? They said so in the first game! "The secret of the Precursors rests on the shoulders of a young boy"
>>87378SINCLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR ;A;
>>87405I missed almost the entire PSX generation entirely, bro. Single income family, mom lost her job, no spending cash for a long while + debt and other wonderful things. I was content and happy with my old N64 games.If not for my spoiled ass younger brother, we wouldn't have even gotten a Playstation 2.
>>87404No I mean "Porky is the bad guy in Mother 3" is not a twist. Certainly not by the time you're at the top of the tower.
>>87396
>>87424Anon's got a point, but I certainly didn't expect him to look so... You know, damaged.
>>87426
>>87428aaahhhhh oh god why
>>87416A. Jak and Daxter was a PS2 game2. It was a joke. Fridge Brilliance, if you will.
>>87385I always thought that much of the strength of a twist lies not just in how unpredictable it is, but in how well it works with the story and how it changes your perception the second time around. Let's be honest: how hard is it to guess the "twist" in Silent Hill 2? Pfft. With the blatant symbolism and the nasty things the other characters say about James, it's almost painfully obvious. And yet, when it comes, it still hits like a kick in the gut. We all know what's going to happen, but James just believes in his fantasy SO MUCH and to see him break down like that...Now, as for Shattered Memories, they could have revealed something like "the town is actually under the control of a tribe of superintelligent warthogs who just really like to fuck with people." Nobody would have seen it coming, but it would have been a totally unsatisfying asspull of an ending. I understand why people wouldn't go for the old "dead all along" trick, but I thought Climax handled it with grace. At the very least, it makes me look at SH1 and SH3 in a way I never would have thought of before.>>87396>To be fair, most people who play bad games also have low IQs.You seem to be confused. This is not /v/. Would you like someone to escort you out and help you find the right board?
>>87478Really?You saw THIS ENDING coming?
>>87478Honestly, I didn't guess the twist in 2 when I first played it. I thought he was messed up for sure, since I knew about the sexual symbolism beforehand, but it never occurred to me that he killed Mary.But I was also 17 at the time, so.
