10 Video Game Reveals That Make You Wish You’d Given Up Instead
1. Scott Shelby Is The Killer - Heavy Rain
The twist that Scott Shelby is/was the killer wasn't a bad one, all things considered. I'd had it spoilt for me, but I can see where it would surprise a few.
No, the disappointment in the reveal comes from taking a step back and wondering why he had to play out the seemingly innocent bits of Scott's story in the first place. Perhaps it was Cage's idea to throw us off of the scent, but having Scott care for a baby whilst also being a child killer was a weird juxtaposition.
Or shooting up an entire mansion to get to Charles Kramer, which seems entirely redundant when we're already playing as the serial killer.
Again, it could be to throw us on the scent. But when you discover our boy Shelby's motives, it's only afterwards you think, "Well why did I need to do all of that other stuff?" and it renders it a bit of a wet fart of a twist in the grand scheme of things.
Someone give David Cage a script editor.
Please.
