    This is for all you people who were totaly and utterly perplexed by games. Games that, all the way through you understood. Until you got to the end and didn't quite understand one conversation, and so didn't get the whole plot at the end of the game.

    For me this must be Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. **possible spoiler for those who haven't gone through it**
    I have been captured, and have gotten of the torture table. I was walking around naked, and got a call from the colonel. He started telling me to unplug the controller, and that this is just game. Then he started talking about a bright light in the night sky that picked him up, and took him home. By now i was scared that he gone mad. Then he said that i had been playing it too much, so i thought it was just a little bug, or an easter egg. Then i get a dodgy message from Rose who says that she was a spy, she laughs and says she's pregnant then it goes wierd. The snake appears and i have to kill him with a sword. Many more strange things happen but i would be affraid to plug the post with them.
    So tell me what freaked you out in a game, or just made you think what the hell?

    The appearance of cretinous award winner Habib in SoA with "unremovable" scimitars.

    After the comment from your topic title, I just said "spare me such sh*t in the future"!

    Learning To Play Black And White

    It took me AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGES!
    The mouse control is so confusing, you're still finding new ways to use it after months, and that's just the mouse!! The rest of the game took me half a year to be confident enough with the controls to play online; and even then i got thrashed!

    Xaelifer: I'd have to back you up on that one. I just picked it up a few days ago, and even though I have the walkthrough, I'm wondering WTF?!

    There's a couple of neat ideas, like a Lucasarts-"Can't die in this game, so explore at your leisure" idea, and the Fallout1 kinda "Hub/Brotherhood/Glow" music beat.

    I'm not saying I udderly reject it, but I'm saying it will have to grow on me before I can sign off on it.

    Someone roll up a Ryder o' fertilizer, and get that sucker growing...

    Ah, I now know, seeming as i am now fighting Solidus. So the whole time Rose and the colonel were just the GW AI? Thats weird. I was Wondering, was Rose realy a Patriot tool or was that just the GW messing with your head?

    Rose exists, she was just a spy for the patriots,but she did fall in love with Jack.
    And it was just the GW interfering
    (you might have to replay the game a few times to get the whole story,i had to:p)
    BTW did you know that the patriots died 100 years ago?(you hear a radio transmission with Snake and Otacon after the credits)So i think that means that the Patriots already had the technology that we have now, in the beginning if the 20th century,so they they could exist in a computer.Do you think that the colonel is a patriot?
    Really makes you want a mgs3 huh?:D
