1. The Campbell A.I. In Metal Gear Solid 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul8j9I90ueM With Metal Gear Solid 2 it seemed like Hideo Kojima was determined to constantly flip the bird at the player while still compelling them to continue playing the game anyway. From the protagonist switch that put many into an angry frenzy through to a naked, cartwheeling Raiden, every aspect of the game appeared designed to get under the player's skin. Things got really weird towards the end, as it is revealed that the 'Colonel Campbell' you have been relying on during the mission is nothing more than an A.I. and Raiden himself is simply in a simulation or sorts. He then proceeds to tell you to turn the console off before going absolutely loopy. Frankly, the whole thing is still really confusing and made for the biggest WTF moment of the 2000s in one of the biggest games of the era. So what do you think? Are there any moments that we have missed or some that deserve to be on this list but aren't. Let us know by commenting below.
