@@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
My father has played it when I was 9 years old. I was just sit beside him and watch he play. Believe me, even I was just a kid back then, the ending make me goosebumps.
You could argue its the most sane thing about the game. I would find it satisfying and amusing if the chaos of my life was due to a dog having a good time.
although I love that ending, "disturbing" is probably the opposit of how I feel about it xD At the time it was just so unexpectedly over the top goofy. most hilarious twist, Id call it. ^^
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
Yeah, the type of dad Harry was in "Shattered Memories" actually reflects upon your own psychological profile. There are actually four different types of dad that Harry could've been: The abusive dad, the drunk dad, the weak dad (where basically everyone shit on him and nobody really respected him), and the family man dad (where you were actually a pretty awesome all around guy and caring dad.) I think we can definitely tell the kind of guy Falcon is because of the endings he mentioned :p
@@InkWarrior your literal argument was grabbing at straws. Maybe just say “oh my bad” instead of clinging to your initial mistake instead of denialism. And objectively that’s not what the video was “about.” It was about twists. It never indicated all twists were at the end and many of them weren’t. Cognitive Dissonance to own some guy on TH-cam, Don. And you failed. 😂
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.
Two of my favorite plot twists is in The Blair Witch when you find out that you are Carver and you continue the cycle, the second one is in fallout 4 when you finally find Shawn and you learn that you’ve been in cryo-sleep for a loot longer then you thought.
Honestly, I have a love-hate relationship with the FO4 twist. I do like it because it's a cool twist overall, but I also don't like how it was handled. Like the way you manage to track down Kellogg because he was traveling around with a young boy is fine in isolation. But the explanations from the real Shawn later on that Kellogg has stopped aging due to enhancements from the Institute, the boy was a synth duplicate of Shawn, and the reason this was done was to test the Shawn duplicate synth as well as leave a trail for Shawn's parent to follow later, all felt like really unsatisfying BS. It felt like the sole reason all that stuff was there was to create a way to throw off the people who had guessed that Shawn was already an adult before the protag wakes up from cryo. It all felt like it was just a really convoluted way to hide the plot twist that ultimately made the twist feel underwhelming once you real stop to think about how much this story was manipulated by Shawn and how much he had to go out of his way to make it happen.
@@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
@@gsofficial Elizabeth doesn’t levitate Columbia. Rosalind Lutece used a slightly fictionalised depiction of flux pinning to anchor the city to a fixed height. Honestly it’s more scientifically possible than injecting yourself with drugs that let you fire bees out of your hands.
Surprised not to see a nod to Shadow of the Colossus here - finding out that you're basically the bad guy and by killing all these majestic giants you've really just doomed yourself is pretty unsettling...
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.
I havent played this game but it triggers memories as the name is the same name as a drug from the book brave new world. Basically a happy drug that lets you stop feeling all the bad of life.
This definitely needs a part 2 Edit: Since someone actually saw this comment, I might as well suggest Doki Doki Literature Club and possibly The Turing Test.
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.
Soma's ending reminded me of the Star Trek transporter dilemma. There's a theory that every time a character goes into a transporter, they actually die, and what comes out the other end is an exact copy with all their memories. It's technically "you", but from your perspective, you step into the beam and that's it - your life ends, and your clone lives.
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
It's the other way around. Six lets go of Mono because she realizes Mono is the monster who chased her the whole time. Six doesn't become like the Lady until she gets to the Maw, and she gets to the Maw because the Thin Man (i.e. Mono) ripped her soul away from her, creating Dark Six. Until this point, she's just a survivor who has to do what she has to do to survive.
I think the interpretation of the end of Little Nightmares II is actually expected and on brand... If you play through the extra levels in Little Nightmares I you realise that Six is actually not a sweet, innocent child and with the actual ending (depending on how you play through), Six ends up taking the Hotel Owners place... So yeah, children grow up to be the scary adults that freak them out in the end. It's a great series with some really interesting underlying themes that give you a LOT to think about.
There are no extra levels in Little Nightmares. You might think of the DLC, but that's set before the end of the game and doesn't involve Six. The end of Little Nightmares is fixed and it doesn't depend on the playthrough, Six escapes the Maw after acquiring the powers of the Lady. Yes, the idea is that both Six and Mono (which are part of a group of six kids btw, more on them is found in the comics) turn into monsters at the end. But Six is a survivor, she's ruthless because she has to survive in that world, like a child soldier. Mono is doomed to become the monster that forced Six to become a monster. Six doesn't betray Mono, Six realizes who Mono is at the end because she sees him without the mask for the first time (after Mono removes his hat before fighting the Thin Man).
Small correction. In Little Nightmares 2, time wasn't speeding up in the signal tower. It was moving at normal speed, you were just stuck there for a loooooooong time. More than enough reason for you to try to stop yourself ending up there by stepping through time
It’s open to interpretation. Maybe we’re getting a montage of him aging normally. Or maybe time IS speeding up for Mono. Or, perhaps Mono isn’t actually “growing up” but rather is getting transformed into a monster in a similar way that Six was to her monstrous self (with the fact that he looks more “normal” being purely coincidental). We also don’t know for certain that there’s now a time loop happening, or if Mono is just replacing the previous Thin Man and time remains linear.
The Forest should be on here ! Its was led to be a survival based game (which it is) but the story and plot is actually amazing. What a twist to find the underground lab and unravel what actually happened prior to you being on the island and why you and your son crashed in the first place. Can't wait for Sons of the Forest to come out and see if they top it !
It's easy to come to the wrong conclusion and think it's a cosmic coin flip, but one of the things the end of SOMA really drove home (for me at least) is that there is no chance, the person who goes in will always end up being the one left in the chair.
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.
For me a VERY overlooked one was in Abzu where it's revealed you killed everyone of your "race", and you were actually a robot sent to wipe them out. The murals on the shell walls depict this.
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.
I think the most unsettling part of Silent Hill 2 is that more recently it was revealed during an interview that Mary was actually in the trunk of the car the whole time
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
Sometimes with games I never intended on playing, I find out about the plot twist or the ending of the game and for some reason that makes me want to play it more ? Lol
What makes Silent Hill 2 even more unsettling is that the games director had gone on to state that Mary’s body is literally in the car you walk away from at the beginning.
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?"
Pathologic was weird and existential in the end, and Little Hope got me with finding out you are the brother hallucinating everything, not a reincarnation of him or his past self.
I laughed at the end of SOMA. It pretty clear if you pay attention that you are not the original. You are a digital copy and you're trying to upload a cache of copies to the satelite. The protagonists rage that he's still there at the end is so funny cuz the chick that giving you orders is like "Duh!!"
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.
I loved silent hill shattered memories. It was one of the first games I finished when I was a kid (usually got bored after awhile). I just love everything about it. It was the first game I played that depending on certain things you do like looking at a hot babe calendar and the choices you made while interacting with the therapist depended on the changes in the game and the ending you got (drunk dad, abusive dad etc) they may have only had little changes, stuff like characters looking different but it was pretty cool for it's time
Of the games that aren't on the list, Doki Doki Literature Club definitely shocked me big time. You think you're playing a harmless dating sim, turns full psychological horror out of nowhere.
"It shows you images of where you live. Not where YOU live, but..." Now THAT would be freaking unsettling. I would disconnect from the internet, burn my computers and live as a hermit from then on.
Silent Hill 2 was the first PlayStation 2 game that I purchased back in 2001 along with my first PS2 console. And my goodness did it deliver the goods. Those were the days =)
Prince of persia warrior within’s plot twist was awesome You spend the whole game chasing what is basically you and the fact that you in a time loop this whole time was freaking amazing
The whole thing with little nightmares 2 was focused around a time loop. Six knew that mono was going to become the thin man, she knew all along which is why she drops him instead of saving him creating an endless time loop of previous mono's trying to warn the current mono about six's betrayal. It's kind of sad now that you think about it
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
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 😮
It’s so old school that you folks might have covered it in a long ago video, but System Shock really had a pioneering plot twist moment. SHODAN was a nasty piece of work.
My thought with Little Nightmares 2 was the Thin Man goes back in time and tries to stop you in order to save you
Agreed
I also agree
Super agreed. Poor Mono is stuck on a loop that his young self kills him even though he’s trying to save him.

I laughed at the end of SOMA. It pretty clear if you pay attention that you are not the original. You are a digital copy and you're trying to upload a cache of copies to the satelite. The protagonists rage that he's still there at the end is so funny cuz the chick that giving you orders is like "Duh!!"
Little Hope is a good example too. At the end you find out that none of the playable characters are real
Gameranx, WhatCulture Gaming, and Triple Jump are the best channels for gaming without a doubt
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.
Thanks for including chapters in this video, I was able to easily skip the games I have yet to play that I still plan to. Much appreciated!
Bioshock Infinite got me reaaaaaal good with the final reveal!
I loved silent hill shattered memories. It was one of the first games I finished when I was a kid (usually got bored after awhile). I just love everything about it. It was the first game I played that depending on certain things you do like looking at a hot babe calendar and the choices you made while interacting with the therapist depended on the changes in the game and the ending you got (drunk dad, abusive dad etc) they may have only had little changes, stuff like characters looking different but it was pretty cool for it's time
what about F.E.A.R that game has such a big twist
I love that game, I played it so much when it first came out
Oh hell yeah! I’d completely forgotten about that but it definitely deserves to be on here.
Yeah the plot Twist
Spoilers
You're alma's son
Of the games that aren't on the list, Doki Doki Literature Club definitely shocked me big time. You think you're playing a harmless dating sim, turns full psychological horror out of nowhere.
I was _blown away_ in Mario Bros when I found out that the princess was *in another castle.*
Can’t stop laughing! 🤣🤣
Surely the ending of ‘Prey’ (2017) belongs here!! That one blew me away…
Prey had a good twist.
Every video game twist list has me expecting Spec Ops The Line eventually, this did not disappoint.
so we're just gonna act like Doki Doki Literature Club wasn't one of the biggest ones in recent memory?
I just picked up the game I must see what the fuss is about.
@@landismithCOJ oh boy i feel bad bout you
"It shows you images of where you live. Not where YOU live, but..."
Now THAT would be freaking unsettling. I would disconnect from the internet, burn my computers and live as a hermit from then on.
SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years.
Little Nightmares DLC Secrets of the Maw got some unsettling twist as well and i'm shock on both endings with the DLC and LN 2
“It was one of the most depressing, and violent endings in a game. Especially for those who’ve been in his position…
But CoOkIe CuTtEr!!!!”
I love shocking twists in games. Not so much with the "unsettling" ones, but still curious to see or hear them. Great video.
👍
WHAT!!!???? NO BIOSHOCK !??!! COME THATS LIKE ONE THE GREATEST PLOT TWIST IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY.
Silent Hill 2 was the first PlayStation 2 game that I purchased back in 2001 along with my first PS2 console. And my goodness did it deliver the goods. Those were the days =)
2 in a day, thank you 🙏🏽
no problem
There are 2 more endings in Spec Ops, 1: you manage to kill the rescue team, and 2: you surrender when they show up.
Amnesia The Dark Descent, Agrippa just being a floating head lol
Prince of persia warrior within’s plot twist was awesome
You spend the whole game chasing what is basically you and the fact that you in a time loop this whole time was freaking amazing
so the silent hill ending where it turns out a random dog is controlling the entire universe is not unsettling?
Nah, that ending made me burst out in laughter.
Honestly that would make me feel better about the world at this point
Superhot’s ending absolutely infuriated me. Stupid ‘Funny Games’ “you’re the REAL MONSTER” twist.
What about Darkest Dungeon? The literal last 2 minutes change everything about the whole story.
The whole thing with little nightmares 2 was focused around a time loop. Six knew that mono was going to become the thin man, she knew all along which is why she drops him instead of saving him creating an endless time loop of previous mono's trying to warn the current mono about six's betrayal. It's kind of sad now that you think about it
I would say Bioshock Infinite gave me the big plot twist i could say😅
Ted Faro deleting Apollo in Horizon Zero Dawn is a pretty messed up twist.
It’s not as unsettling as most of the ones on this list, but the original Xenoblade’s end was pretty mind-boggling.
was thinking the same
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
I'll click like on anything that mentions Bloodborne, that game is so mind fuckingly awesome.
I purchased a copy years ago, but never bothered to play it. Now, I really want to.
I was sure that Shadow of the Colossus would make the list...
Can't forget the ending for inside
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
I am sincerely surprised that Detroit:Become Human isn't on this list, that game was disturbing as crap lol
SH2 is probably the game that still haunts me the most to this day
Not an acceptable list if Bioshock isn't here.
Bioshock is on the majority of these lists. It’ll be fine.
How about the dog in Duck Season VR that climbs through your 1980's TV set and murders your mom. That's an unsettling ending for a game.
I think the ending where you're trapped in the game really got to me.
I already know one of the games on this list is Bioshock before even finishing the video because if you know then you know lol.
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 😮
Still haven't gotten over Jason Todd being the Arkham Knight... We ALL knew he was from the first damn trailer.
It’s so old school that you folks might have covered it in a long ago video, but System Shock really had a pioneering plot twist moment. SHODAN was a nasty piece of work.
