One way you can tell whether or not a game’s narrative is a good one is through how engaging it is – whether or not it keeps you glued to the edge of your seat, eager to discover what happens next. One way that many storytellers attempt to do this is through plot twists: unexpected occurrences and subtly foreshadowed events designed to take the player by surprise. Unfortunately, pulling off a decent plot twist is no mean task – and there are plenty of writers out there who simply can’t seem to get it right. As a result, their ‘twists’ either fall flat and fail to resonate with the audience, or leave everyone scratching their heads as they try to discern what in the bloody hell just happened.
Today, we’re going to look at a few such ‘twists.’

Dosen't it explains this in the game, they knew they grew up in an Orphange they just didn't remember much about it, so they still had childhood memories but because of the GFs clouding their past memories they just don't remember tiny details like names or faces etc. It's the main reason why when they all realise they were in orphans they start to connect the dots and realise they were the people they forgot at the same orphange.
I'm pretty sure they kep on using them because they were at war, they knew what they were getting into but they still used them because they wanted to save the world.
So mangled in fact that no, it wasn't explained to them that they'd suffer memory loss or even needed them to fight a war. They were mercs for hire.
Overall, the list rather sucks. The Star Ocean twist is a mindf__k for the characters that I didn't see coming. And just because "it's all just a game," does that make it meaningless? Also, why is the picture of The Last Hope?
The MGS one also makes more sense than they give it credit for. It doesn't at all invalidate the battle between Liquid and Solid. As for the narcotics, remember Scarface? Yeah.
Not gonna go through all of them, but I don't like this list.
Actually I was too busy laughing at Charles and Haytham's wedding ceremony to care about the twist.

Plus I thought the twist was really well done, and it was a relief to not have to play as Haytham anymore, you play as him for way too long and his missions are largely pretty lacklustre.
I thought Connor was okay until I got to the Boston Massacre part. He kills 20 or so people to make his getaway, then when Samuel Adams tells him to bribe someone to bring his heat down, he just says, "Lying is wrong."
That blew my mind.
Every time I brought up the subject I was either branded hater, an Xbox fanboy, or someone who should just shut up and play the online component. Told that PSO-like multiplayer was worth it.
By the way, at least use the appropriate image. Those are not Star Ocean TTEOT characters.
Solid Snake is a clone from his father, Naked Snake, now known as Big Boss for his various adventures and making his own army and nation. Big Boss was an unwilling participant in the Less Enfant Terrible project where they took his DNA and that of an Asian woman to and made a fertilized egg which needed a surrogate mother. The babies were twins and Snake's brother is Liquid Snake. Liquid was featured in Metal Gear Solid and through a series of events I will not spoil, he found his way into Revolver Ocelot (another major character in the series)'s mind. Now they are, together known as Liquid Ocelot. The mind of Liquid with the body of Ocelot. I really do suggest you play the previous games before finishing this game at least. It enhances the experience far more
Speaking of ME2 and ME1, of course.
Put it this way , everything starts out fine your in a plane crash ,sole survivor in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean ,you then end up in some fantastic underwater utopia that has suddenly gone to hell and some guy asks you to help find his family and then GTFO. So what was wrong with that, as a story its perfect , it's somewhat believable but its fine, it could have worked like James Cameron's Aliens.
But no, about halfway into the game the story completely derails into some far fetched conspiracy ,apparently your some 4 year old test tube baby with memories implanted used as a sleeper agent , to aid your so called ally in an underwater mutant nerd civil war...
What a convoluted mess of a great concept, you don't need to have weird conspiracies , and psuedo intellectual twists to have an engrossing story. Am I the only person to have found Bioshock to be batsh!t insane.
