00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?

00:16These are 10 moments in video games that came out of absolutely nowhere.

00:20When you've been at something for a good amount of time, it's easy to feel like you've got

00:23a good grasp on what to expect.

00:25Well for these moments, expect the unexpected.

00:28Let's do it.

00:29Nah, let's not.

00:30Okay, let's do it.

00:39Other Games

00:40All of his co-workers were gone.

00:43What could it mean?

00:44Stanley decided to go to the meeting room.

00:46Perhaps he had simply missed a memo.

00:48The Stanley Parable puts expectation on its head as one of the most interesting and cleverly

00:53arranged titles to ever be released.

00:55The Stanley Parable has the player repeating the same experience over and over and over

00:59again, finding that changing their pattern ever so slightly creates a butterfly effect

01:03leading them to a vast and diverse list of endings.

01:06One such ending we truly didn't expect has the narrator of the Stanley Parable giving

01:10up on his game they'd created and just deciding to use someone else's.

01:14We can anticipate almost anything, but experiencing 4 different titles from developers unrelated

01:18to this studio was very much unexpected.

01:21Firewatch, Portal, Rocket League and even Minecraft.

01:25What the hell?

01:26If you manage to get lost in this game, I will be phenomenally impressed.

01:31John's Death

01:32Our protagonist's death was somewhat more predictable in the series sequel, as this

01:45first game had set up the tone of losing a protagonist and continuing the epilogue as

01:49a different character.

01:50But unlike the second entry, John wasn't sick.

01:53John had done everything he'd been asked and John was seemingly forgiven, praised and

01:57moving on to a more peaceful existence with his family.

02:00After the game lulls us into a false sense of security, the US military shows up at John's

02:04door and after one final shootout, we face the wrath of a battalion of soldiers, all

02:09with their guns aimed at John.

02:12For a second when we enter dead aim we think, oh are we about to quickfire 25 soldiers?

02:16An obviously impossible feat in hindsight, but we just simply couldn't believe we were

02:20about to watch John die.

02:32Mr Blonde's Identity

02:34Perfect Dark follows secret agent Joanna Dark who is tasked with stopping NSA director Trent

02:39Easton from using alien technology to take over the world.

02:42The game is filled with surprising moments and one twist that nobody saw coming was the

02:46revelation about Trent Easton's right hand man, Mr Blonde.

02:50Always by Trent's side, his true identity remains a mystery until Mr Blonde tells him

02:54he's outlived his usefulness and Trent pulls a gun on him.

02:58Just as Trent is about to shoot, Mr Blonde transforms into a gigantic alien and kills

03:03him in a gruesome manner.

03:04Despite knowing that extraterrestrials were part of the overarching plot, there was no

03:08hint that they were walking among us and now we're left questioning who is and who isn't

03:13an alien.

03:20Samus is Female

03:28Nothing was more surprising than the original Metroids ending.

03:31If you completed the mission in under 3 hours, Samus would remove her armour in the credits

03:36revealing she was a woman.

03:37This twist caught everyone off guard because twists in games weren't really a thing back

03:41then and before this, there weren't a bunch of mainstream female protagonists who used

03:45blasters and violence to take down their foes.

03:48Closest was Ms Pac-Man.

03:50The instruction manual even referred to Samus as a he ensuring only dedicated gamers would

03:55uncover the secret.

03:56Since Samus showed no hint of personality through the game, some people even thought

04:00she was a robot.

04:01Nope, she's way cooler than that.

04:04Surge Speaks

04:09When Chrono Cross, Surge and his group must venture through realities to stop General

04:13Lynx from destabilizing the space-time continuum, why is it always the space-time continuum

04:19being messed with?

04:20Guys, leave it alone.

04:22About halfway through the game, Lynx blasts Surge with an unspecified energy spell to

04:26kill him, and when the dust settles, Surge seems unhurt, implying Lynx's spell failed.

04:31But when Surge's friends ask if he's okay, he replies, I'm just fine.

04:35Although this sounds like an innocuous exchange, the player immediately knows something is

04:39wrong for one reason.

04:41This is the first time Surge has talked.

04:43The player realizes that Lynx has swapped bodies with him, and the player takes control

04:47of Lynx.

04:48Welcome to the next 20 hours of gameplay where you play as Lynx.

04:52Wow.

04:53Clayface

04:54A twist to end all twists.

05:02Not really, but it was very cool.

05:04Just before the climax, Raeesh Al Ghul impales the Joker with his sword, seemingly killing

05:10him.

05:11The Joker stands back up, maniacally laughing, and suddenly mutates, revealing his true identity,

05:15Clayface.

05:16Easily the stupidest name for a supervillain we've ever heard.

05:19Nonetheless, this twist leaves a significant impact because you feel like you should have

05:23seen it coming.

05:24If you used detective mode earlier, you would have noticed he had no bones, being made of

05:28clay.

05:29And if you ask really, really, really nicely, he'll just tell you, and you'll embrace, and

05:33the game ends abruptly.

05:35I think, I've never tested this theory.

05:43Who is Comstock?

05:57In Bioshock Infinite, your character, Booker DeWitt, arrives in the floating city of Columbia,

06:02ruled by the self-appointed prophet, Zachary Hale Comstock.

06:05We love a self-appointed prophet.

06:07Always good news.

06:08At first, you assume Columbia stays afloat through some form of incomprehensibly intelligent

06:12technology.

06:13But as you progress, you discover the city stays in air through quantum mechanics.

06:18You know what quantum mechanics always leads to in storytelling?

06:21That's right.

06:22Parallel universes.

06:23Once this revelation lands, hold onto your hats, because the games can start hurling

06:27revelations at your head like they don't even matter.

06:29Elizabeth can travel to parallel universes.

06:31Elizabeth is Comstock's adopted daughter, and while you're trying to wrap your head

06:34around all these epiphanies, the game drops one more bombshell on you.

06:37Comstock is a parallel version of Booker.

06:40Not only that, Elizabeth is your daughter.

06:42Also, Pearl Harbor was orchestrated by Charlie Chaplin.

06:46That last one's a lie, but it wouldn't have been the wildest thing to happen in this game.

06:49The Huddle.

07:03Even with a game that's completely open to interpretation, we still didn't see this coming.

07:07Since there's no dialogue in Inside, context is displayed visually, and the climax is undeniably

07:13disturbing.

07:14As you approach the end of your journey, you enter a water chamber, where you discover

07:17the Huddle, a grotesque mass composed of human limbs.

07:21To escape the facility, you must merge with the Huddle's body.

07:25Although the nature of this deformed organism is never fully explained, many believe that

07:28the Huddle has been controlling the boy throughout the game, manipulating him to enter the facility

07:33and free it from its aquatic prison.

07:35The realization that you may not, in fact, be the outlier and the only person with free

07:39will is upsetting, and shocking.

07:54The Scratch.

08:02The Walking Dead's show taught us to not get attached to any character, but in the game,

08:06it's impossible not to fall in love with our hero, Lee, and the girl he's protecting,

08:10Clementine.

08:11We live in their shoes, and we falsely lead ourselves to believe we always will.

08:15After a long game, and towards the title's climax, Lee is attacked by a walker, and as

08:20he inspects his arm, he sees the zombie left a tiny bite on his wrist, meaning he is destined

08:25to become a walker himself.

08:27Our minds run almost as fast as him, thinking how can we fix this, unfortunately, we can't,

08:32and our much-loved protagonist ends his story just as it was beginning.

08:37See ya, Lee.

08:38You'll never be forgotten.

08:39Close your eyes, and be thankful you never have to see me as one of them.

08:45You can do it.

08:46I know you can.

08:47Okay, Lee.

08:48I can do it.

08:49I can.

08:50Tea up.

08:51Joe.

08:52Don't act like you heard of us or something.

09:06Because I have.

09:10Although many suspected going into this game that we were going to lose our first game's

09:13protagonist, Joel, nobody anticipated how quickly and how brutally it would take place

09:19in the game's narrative.

09:20Unless they read the leaked scripts, and the many many spoilers, or the rage-filled

09:23hate bombs.

09:25If you followed the studio's publicity, however, you were led to believe Joel was going to

09:28be with us for a good amount of time.

09:30Instead, early in the game he is kidnapped, tortured, and in a final moment of brutality

09:35in the journey of a man who had enacted a fair amount of his own brutality, his head

09:39was bludgeoned with a golf club.

09:41The helpless nature in which he went out was incredibly realistic, but shocking nonetheless.

09:45Please stop.

09:46Please don't shoot.

09:48Please don't shoot.

09:51Joel, please get up.

09:54No!

09:55No!

09:56No!
