16 Biggest Video Game Plot Twists Of The Decade (So Far)

4. You Get To Kill Edgar Ross - Red Dead Redemption

Although John Marston dying was one of the most shocking moments in recent memory, you could foreshadow something bad was coming the second Rockstar insisted you keep playing out the role of the 'happy farmer' following the end of so many bloodshed-filled missions. Instead after this event plays out, the really incredible thing that sticks in the mind (arguably more) is switching control to John's son, and being able to track down the backstabbing Edgar Ross, whilst also killing his family if you chose to. The best thing about this revenge kick is it's all of your own volition - you choose to journey back to Blackwater under the assumption he'll still be working there, and you're the one who has to get a bead on his location by talking to a string of family members - eventually finding him fishing peacefully by a river. Naturally Ross doesn't pull any punches when it comes to whether or not you should actually go through with the killing, and ventilating him with an entire chamber of your revolver only to watch the body fly backwards in slow motion is easily one of the greatest sequences and plot-resolutions in history - not to mention the realisation of the game's very title right there and then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU1vbPbm9r4
