Favorite Moment in ANY game

There has been something like this in the past, but it was focused on halo moments.

What is your favorite moment of any game?

My personal favorite is the part of Mass Effect where you speak to the ancient Prothean artificial intelligence construct. The plot-twist of the reapers having built the citadel and mass relays was the most epic of any I've ever witnessed.

I don't think I've ever been so immersed in any game as I was then. I remember feeling a real sense of discovery and amazement with talking to a computer system that had been alive many millions of years before the Human race even existed.

Amidst a moment in the story where time was of the greatest importance, I had no problem standing and talking to this thing, asking it every detail, for some ten minutes before moving on.

Golden Sun: The lost Age

You've faced countless creatures, you've been all around the world, you've saved lives, you've egnited three lighthouses, and now you're at the last lighthouse. As you attempt to light it, the Wise comes and attempts to stop you. He brings down a three headed dragon which you must fight to save your world. Once you kill it, you feel a sense of accomplishment, the journey is almost over, when you see what makes the dragon. It's your parents. You've killed your parents to finish your quest.(or have you?)

favorite moment, as the game gives you that sense of accomplishment, and defeat at the same time. truely a great moment I've had.

My favorite moment in a game.

It's not really from the game's plot(I'll think of one of those later), but still pretty good.

A few years ago, before I had an XBox of my own, me and my brother were at his friend's house playing Halo.
They were on the last level(I forget wich difficulty) and they were within site of the Longsword, I was watching.

Within about 30 yards of the fighter, the Warthog is flipped, and they're surrounded by Flood. My brother was on the side closer to the Longsword, and his friend was pinned between the Warthog, a wall, and a bunch of Flood.

Instead of the heroic, "Go on without me!" thing they would say in a movie, my brother's friend says, "(Korn)! Come and get me!"
My brother says, "But I can just get to the ship!"
So his friend sits there and yells at him to come back for him, but my bro just runs to the ship and ends the level.

His friend was pissed, it was hilarious.

Yeah, I guess I mean a"best scripted moment"

Left 4 Dead
Jake and I were playing on Dead Air

A tank came running at us at the crane part and it hits jake at the smaller building with the piping running all over it
the tank managed to hit jake at the piping from there he hung to the side of the piping 3 feet from the ground
(i think this was on advanced or expert)
the remaining two computers and me battle the tank very slowly while jake hangs from his 3 foot death
we managed to kill the tank and i turned to go help jake up and his person fell and died on impact

so i basically saw his person drop dead 3 feet from the ground
i laughed for a long time afterwards

Going around beating up everybody in Vault 101 in Fallout 3...
Good fun, good fun.

erm "scripted moment"

One time when the Striders use their blue beams of death in city 17.

I flew across two buildings and skipped some of the lvl

(and I think that's scripted when they use their beams, but I'm not sure)

Shadow of the Colossus: When Argo dies....that was so emotional

or the end battle of KH2...

That's high on my list, that scene was very well done, and that I chose my name from that AI.

But I going to say another Bioware title for my favourite.

I think the reveal that you were Darth Revan in KOTOR was amazing

Aeris dies...

The cutscene itself, the out of place boss fight that works so well juxtaposed with Aeris' music and the hatred and empty vengeance you want to take on it, the sadness, Cloud's speech, and the bitter uncertainty that comes with Cloud's past.

Also Sephiroth burning Nibelheim does well in portraying the clarity and reason in his insanity. You know there and then he's working on a cosmic level.

That's as far as I got in FF VII.

The disc frooze shortly after that flashback

I really do need to play FFVII

My favorite moment is when you find out you're Reven in KOTOR.

Either that or,

"Comrade Sniper" in COD2.

L4D


Me and T-bone were playing the hospital level on the last part on either advanced or expert(either way you know how fucking hard this is)


The chopper finally comes and we both just start fucking sprinting to it(first time we ever beat the level)

We get to the ramp with T-bone in front and I get pinned by a hunter. T is at the chopper, turns around and starts running for me saying "BRIAAAN"

Then I yell to him "GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!"

lmao

I was playing Halo CE, and on Blood Gulch we were playing Assualt with 16 players. My team had just gotten to a score of 14, with 15 minutes or so left and we kept trying to make plans and sneak into their base, but it was too well defended (Scorpians, Banshees, Rocket/LAAG Warthogs).

With 2 minutes left to go I find the flag sittign their and I'm like, 'What the hell? 2 minutes left, I'll just go."

As I pick the flag up I am hit with a pistol and it takes my shields down, and an Assualt Rifle takes me to 1 bar of health, but I kill him and move on, with my shield still blinking.

I cross over the hill and onto their side and run for the door. I watch with my jaw down as rockets fly over my head, bullets go by, and grenades go off left and right, but I am not hit. As I watch, my shield goes up, all the way.

Once inside, I score and the game ends. I say to my friend, "looks like we just have to run at them. Who would have guessed?"

True story.

Sorry for ruining it then

I hope they don't make a remake. Even if they upped the graphics and left everything else identical I would still be annoyed. FF7 looked like you were walking around in a picture-frame which was beautifully designed. A modern FF7 would be forced to use a non-static cam, or else look weird, destroying the carefully crafted level.

Think about moving around inside your favourite film. It would suck because the shots are ruined. THAT's what modernization will do to FF7. As for it being released in digital format - now that I can get behind.

Also, voice acting with that script wouldn't work.

Looks like I kinda derailed your thread Recon, lol!

Sorry about that.

nyeh
I can't believe I forgot about that one!

that's better than the striders by far...

Credits for Portal.

well for me it was in KH were you basically kill your freind/nemisis when you close the dark gates on him and mickey

Hmm....My favorite at the moment, since I cant think of any other ones, would probably be in Gears 2 when Cole gives his little speech to the locust queen over the loud speaker lol.
