Best game plot holes of all time

Plot hole: If you use a Pokedoll against the Marowak Ghost in the Pokemon Tower, you can actually skip the battle and progress through the game, without ever getting the Silph Scope. This make no sense, you skip a large portion of the game this way. Just as an example, after skipping the Ghost, you fight Jesse and James with evolved Pokemon, but if you go to get the Silph Scope after this, they will be there, with unevolved Pokemon.

Dr. James

Plot hole: On The Skeld, ejection should be impossible without killing the entire crew. There is no airlock, meaning that as soon as the door opens to eject the potential imposter, everyone in the vicinity will be sucked out, as well as the air. Everyone would end up suffocating, and the garbage chute is too small to be used as an airlock.

Suggested correction: There's an airlock in Storage, and doors at the entrance to every room.

Then shouldn't loads of trash be ejected with them?

But going all red path, this is the first time you meet them. So they are injured from you, but never fought you.

More Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro plot holes

Plot hole: According to the Lore, Purple Guy hid in a Spring Bonnie suit to lure the kids into the room he would kill them in.

More Marvel's Spider-Man 2 plot holes

More Crysis plot holes

Plot hole: In episode two, Mr. Jefferson receives a phonecall at one point after talking to Kate. However, if you rewind time all the way and then don't interact with him, he doesn't receive the phonecall a second time. Flub in the programming of the time-travel.

More Life is Strange plot holes

Plot hole: The cutscene with the first appearance of Grenn takes place at the palace and involves Diego as well; it is not correctly flagged though, and therefore it can start when Diego is included in the player's party, somewhere else entirely, not at all in Ascalia.

More Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs plot holes

Plot hole: The main character finds the dead journalist at the beginning of the movie, walks back to town using the main road, and when he gets there not only have the police found the cadaver already, but the barman knows all about it, including the outcome of the questioning of the witness. Stellar police work and mad gossiping skills, all without the police cars passing by the unsuspecting Thad and arresting him.

Sammo

More The Dark Half plot holes

Plot hole: When Shoji gives himself up to the authorities at the end of mission 9, Aoki thanks to the Senpuji Industries lies to the inspector saying that he was a test pilot, but that does not solve the not marginal issue that the playing character comes from another dimension and has no ID. The inspector is a stickler for the rules but in all the hours of interrogation apparently the subject of their identity never came up.
