@@lunarjellyfish5538: the title is a pretty obvious clue: there will be spoilers. Even before the timestamps, there was a list. Never watch their videos without checking those, it's rather basic.
Most upsetting plot twist: When you think being an adult means you can play games whenever you want. When in reality, it's just bills, work and never-ending tiredness Do NOT recommend growing up
The most unsettling thing about Bloodborne, like with many of the more sophisticated takes on cosmic horror, is the ways in which the eldritch beings and humans are actually similar. Malevolent humans and monsters do exist in the setting, but much of the tragedy stems from people (including the monsters), groups, and organizations trying to survive, develope and reproduce/renew themselves in a meaningless world. After all, the power to distort reality into dreamlike layers doesn't mean any of those layers are meaningful or will even go your way.
My first play through of Fallout 4 still gets to me. Thinking I'd finally found Shaun and seeing him locked in that tiny room, I was pissed. Father walks in the room, I didn't even talk to him, just shot him on the spot... And then I found out Father was the son. I was depressed for awhile lol
@@DanielLopez-ob9jz its not that I don't think games are art. It's that whenever people try to convince others they use all the aspects that are actually just art on their own. They're not even looking at what separates games from any other media.
Soma is one of my all time favourite, great to see it was included....I was just shocked in front of the screen just like at Requiem for a Dream ending. Legendary
You should come NA with me. Yeah it can get kinda awkward when u gotta say, “hi I’m (Bob or whatever) I’m a ranxhead” an they don’t know what you mean but the benefits to your life are substantial
Several of Yoko Taro's games have a weird connection and none of them have a happily ever after if i recall correctly. And most of them have 5ish endings that get more disturbing as you go.
FFX when you find out the truth about Yevon, Tidus and his dad, Auron, and a lot of Spira's residents. Due to a certain part in FFX I still continue to believe that it has to be the real end of the final fantasy story were a timeline to ever be created.
Silent Hill 2 : I randomly bought this second hand game for like 5€ when I was 13 and had no clue about the Silent Hill universe. This was so terrifying , had to have my sister watching along when playing so I could play without being too scared. Ended up being of of the best game I have ever played and still play it nowadays. A hidden gem of video games IMO
And all that is revealed along the way is so fucking DISTURBING and was absolutely unheard of in 2001. You learn that not only did James murder his wife, but that every character in the game sees a totally different Silent Hill based on their own dark secrets. By the time I finished it the first time I was completely blown away because everything was a lie.
Control where the Hiss “takes over you” and then the end credits appear. Then just a few seconds later the end credits are falling apart and then you find yourself in a gray place.
Superhot actually messed me up a tiny bit after I finished it. It was such a bizarre feeling. Nothing major, but enough to stump me for the rest of the day
Prey (2017) is also a good example of an unsettling ending with your character being a monster the entire time navigating the events of what doomed humanity
In-between half life 1 and 2 there is a pretty good twist where you realize the Nihilanth, this all powerful being that can open portals in space and time with its mind, that you also defeat at the end of half life 1, was not from the Xen demention. It came to Xen because it was the last of its kind and it was hiding from something that had hinted it nearly to extinction. First time I heard that I was nervously like "say what now!? What could it possibly have been hiding from?"
There is a great game that was put out by Bethesda years ago called The Call of Cthulhu: The Dark Corners of the Earth . It was sort of a sequel to The Shadow Over Innsmouth . I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Lovecraft.
In Soma, at the end, there are FOUR Simons! 4!! The original who gets scanned, the 2nd who plays most of the game, the 3rd when you get "transfered" to another base (this is the one who's stucked at the bottom of the sea at the end) and 4th the one who gets uploaded into the digital paradise 😮
I feel the compulsion to state that, in Spec Ops: The Line, it's not a hallucination. It's a flashback from an unreliable narrator. You weren't hallucinating --- you were trying to search for some possible rationale for why all the horrible things you ended up doing were done. And it's a lot more comforting to think you were searching for him because he was doing these things than to think you were doing these things while searching for him.
The most unsettling twist of bloodborne was in the real ending how Gehrman was basically trying to save us from the dream and being captive to moon presence
Actually, the letter in Silent Hill 2 is imaginary. Everyone may notice this through the game by seeing that rows in the letter disappear and in the end it becomes blank
Just to point out, but you can also have Walker turn himself in to the patrol, leading to this exchange. Soldier: "What was it like? How did you survive all this?" Walker: "...Who said I did?"
SOMA had such a brutal purpose built anti-climax, after such a mad struggle it was a cold, harsh and heartbreaking moment that left me just sat there with my mouth open.!!! I still remember being kinda stunned for the rest of the day...hahaha Although it was kinda softened by the final vision of the paradise, which felt like a bit of a safety move by the developers!!!! Still an easy 10/10 tho!!!!! One of my favorite all time games!!!!!
For me, Ys IX was pretty unsettling when you found out everyone in your party except for one character were clones. The main character turned out to be a clone of the main character, and the others were clones of people that died centuries ago, and they stumble on their other copies.
Not sure if this is unsettling enough to make a list like this (and I don't play enough unsettling games to be able to tell), but the ending of Among the Sleep, and then the ending of the expansion were both super unsettling to me, but also super well crafted. To find out that the monster in your dreams is actually your alcoholic mother and that the teddy bear/savior you stick with the whole time was essentially your dad was a huge twist. I loved the ending of that game. However, the twist in the expansion that your dad is ALSO abusive will forever be insane to me. You can never tell who the monsters are until you finish the whole story.
Folklore known in japan as folks soul had a great plot twist. In the game you play as two characters Elle and Keats in a pointnof view style story telling (so it is a bit redundant as you have to complete both characters side of the chapters). Keats is a reporter for a paranormal magazine, and Elle is a girl trying to find her mother. The biggest plot twist is that Keats is elles childhhod friend herve who died long ago. Another great plot twist was in shadow of the tomb raider where Lara is trying to find a set of artifacts to stop the bad guys from controlling or destroying the world with them, in her haste it turns out she causes Armageddon by retrieving one of the artifacts in the wrong order they were meant to be found. Its a twist that happens early on in the game but it was a shocking one none the less. Oh, heavy rain had an interesting plot twist where one of the protagonist were actually the antagonist the whole time.
Actually, Keats wasn't Herve, but more like a special Halflife, one that apparently won't cease existing even when realizing his purpose. He's basically Herve's desire to grow up and be a paranormal investigator, and Cecilia/Ellen's desire to see Herve achieve that goal.
How about the first Danganronpa? It’s more than one twist really, but the whole finding out why you’ve been trapped in a school the whole game and the state of the world outside. Fucking loved that game!
I've played through Nier and Little Nightmares 2 so many times already I find it difficult to believe both released earlier this year. Also, If we get a part 2, I expect to see BioShock (I'll let you pick which one, since you can't really miss).
Worth noting about the ending of Little Nightmares 2 is that it kinda flips expectations. We thought it was a sequel, when then ending after finding all glitched remains shows six seeing a poster for the maw, and then her stomach rumbles, revealing that it is more likely a prequel.
I swear to God Himself that if they put Bioshock Infinite on here I'm gonna scream. The only way it was shocking was how bad it was. It's like millions of people shut their brain off to play that game.
Infinite was the best out of the 3 Bioshock games imo with 2 being the worse, not bad just not as good as the other two. I understand if someone wants to rate the original first and infinite second. What about Inifinite made it a bad game for you?
Question why is it that no one can properly quarantine? If I was on the ship I would just send the ship carrying the marker in a near by sun. Try to get on the ship. You get a laser in the face.
Not sure if this is exactly a plot twist, but the Taken in Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion has some hidden lore that really recontextualizes a lot of the game, it’s pretty unsettling
Worth noting with soma, it's not a coin flip. You, going to copy your conciousness will ALWAYS lose. Just the new copy will perceive it as "winning the flip"
I feel like SOMA raises the question of Theseus' Paradox. If the Ship of Theseus was regularly repaired until all of the original wood was replaced; Is it still the ship of Theseus, or is it something else? I say it is both.
Man, I really want to play spec ops:the line the more and more you talk about it, incase you couldn't tell, I've never played it or heard of it until I watch the first video I seen that you talked about it in.
About the "Silent Hill 2" one... WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!! Mary's letter isn't actually real. There never was a letter. If you check the letter at specific times during the game, you'll realize that it is disappearing bit by bit.
Regarding Soma, Did the Simon that escaped on the satellite ever figure out that he was a copy and left another Simon down at the bottom of the ocean? What about Catherine? Did she ever tell him, lie to him about it when asked/if asked?
Soma should have been #1 IMO, but Silent Hill 2 is a fair #1 as well... although I think the characterization of James as a "Murderer" misses the mark a bit. He essentially put his wife out of her misery and is torturing himself over it. You CAN call him a murderer, but that's a very narrow take of the situation and ignores a ton of nuance to the story (including Pyramid Head's ENTIRE purpose for existing)
Doki Doki literature Club has a strong twist. I’m also happy to see a list like this that doesn’t mention KOTOR Revan reveal. It’s a good one but has been done too many times.
so number 10 reminds me of a certain other fps figuring out there is some sort of zombie-like thing infecting people on an alien planet where the person trying to "help you" actually ended up betraying you in the end. cough cough Halo: CE cough. anyone else?
I already know the story of dead space and the farther you get into the story you find out that nicole is already dead and she perished when the infestation began and isic has been having hallucinations of her
