Inspired by the other topic here.

Valkyrie Profile

The Gods have been lying to you all along. You actually know fuck all about anything and will be put into stasis or outright executed the moment you stop being useful (collecting the souls of the dead for the war effort, including your old love interest who you can no longer remember because Odin broke your mind.) or when your mission is complete (defeating the totally chill Frost Giants who aren't the evil side at all). Turns out you're basically just a tool in the service of ruthless, despicable assholes. Your fight against evil has often led you to destroy the unfortunates who defied them.

Good thing there's a special ending where you finally get justice.

Personally, there'll never be a twist / secret more expansive and satisfying than the Reverse Castle.

Beaten Kaitos hands down has my favorite plot twist of all time:

It does the very tired RPG trope of "Oh no someone that you trusted is feeding the bad guy information!" and it ends up being Kalas, the main character of the game.

Metal Gear Solid

After each boss fight, I legitimately thought the bosses were never really bad guys, and had changes of heart trying to help Snake stop Liquid. NOPE, Liquid's plan all along to get Snake to activate Metal Gear. He got played.

Virtue's Last Reward

Zero is you from 45 years in the future, the entire game takes place on the moon, but you don't notice because your perception of time is slowed down by the disease that killed off most of humanity, and you have the ability to jump between timelines, and you're going to use this ability to go back in time and save the entire world from 45 years ago.

Ace Attorney has a few good ones

Mimi Miney - "It would be very hard to catch me."
and
Matt Engarde - "Hold on a sec, I'm gonna consult myself, OK?"


are the ones that immediately stand out.

Did you play Zero Time Dilemma?

Cause that twist sucked imo (ZTD's twist).

I did, and it was bad. However, I definitely liked the game overall.

If they were to make a kotor movie... wouldn't we already know the twist? I mean I wouldn't care but it's easily accessible information. I would LOVE a kotor movie. Or even trilogy. A kotor one movie, blended in with kotor 2, a kotor 2 movie, and then a third, continuing the plot as it might naturally progress.

If we're talking secrets, the game-spanning easter egg in Riven which leads to a scene with Gehn singing a piece from an opera is my favorite.

Either that of the "OH MY!!!" from Yoshi's Island.

It's not since it tells you on the first fucking warning screen when you load the game.

speaking of KotOR, I also liked the twist in Jade Empire.

your master was the bad guy, and trained you, with a heavily referenced flaw, for him to eventually exploit

I actually started to think that the supposed flaw was a clever technique to make opponents look for an opening that wasn't there.

Then the twist happened.
