10 Video Game Moments NOBODY Saw Coming

The first of many (and of two on this list) of Metal Gear unexpected moments, with so many to pick from, was such a rug pull that it's still a corker some twenty two years on.

For the few that played the MSX games before it, being guided via codec was a standard. Why would it be any different for the PS1 debut, right?

Spy saves world, uses three important items to stop nuclear bipedal tank from launching big nasty missiles. Aided by a support team of well trusted colleagues, all seems well.

Until you insert the last PAL key, inadvertently activated Metal Gear REX instead of stopping the launch. This isn't right, Miller's told you that the terrorists have already activated it, this doesn't make sense.

But too little, too late, you're told Miller has died. The imposter has been Liquid Snake all along, pulling a Bioshock and essentially guiding you to blindly carry out their mission for them.

It was a blow to discover that in your mission of prevention, you were responsible for REX's activation. Played like a damn fiddle.
