Gaming

I remember really enjoying Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time right up until >!it was revealed that everything that the characters had experienced was essentially a MMO video game being played by 4th dimensional beings who were determined to delete their existence. So every tragedy suffered by the characters up to that point and all the lives lost was literally because their creators/programmers had forced upon them. That just completely ruined my immersion with the game and broke the fourth wall so hard that I just stopped. Granted the twist could have worked, but for me at the time I was like "This is just really stupid. It would be like if your MMO character jumped out of the computer screen and threatened you because you were going to delete the game to make hard drive space."!<
