I'm trying to think of some of the best/most memorable game scenes, tell me the scenes from games that you guys will always remember or just think that every gamer must experience.
 
for me in no particular order....  (may contain spoilers, read at your own risk
 
1. GTA4 - When Roman dies in GTA4 at the wedding
2. The sad ending to half life 2 episode 2
3. The intro to mass effect 2 and when they go through the omega relay
4. MGS1 - when master miller reveals himself as liquid snake!
5. Ninja Gaiden 2 - when the old man slices all those dudes up in a cut scene in one of the later chapters
6. FFX - when Tidus dies...

Heavy Rain's finger scene actually drove me to turn off the game afterwards. I had played until from the start until then in one sitting, and I physically had to stop. It was too much, I felt emotionally fatigued. Super rewarding.

Let's be honest here: how many people would know what I'm talking about if I said "Battle of Barhara?" We all know "Aeris dies" or "Raiden runs around a metal bunker naked for 30 minutes", but not BoB. Besides, it's still in line with the thread; it doesn't detract from the discussion value in any way.

I know, it was a good link too but I just secretly don't want other people to follow suit so just nod and agree ;)

In fact, it added to it. Look at all the discussion fun we're enjoying thanks to that video! 
 
But in all seriousness my favourite game scene, off the top of my head, is probably in Mass Effect 1, when you had to pick between Ashley and Kaiden. Hardest decision I've ever had to make in a game.

Anju and Kafei sidequest in Majora's Mask.  It's the way that it's happy but depressing at the same time that makes it very memorable.

Probably my favourite single scene in a game ever is in Metal Gear Solid 2, where the Colonel is revealed to be an AI simulation.
 
It's a great twist in and of itself, but mostly it's how its presented that makes it so memorable.

In Bioshock, I'm sure you all know which scene.
 
The ending of Shadow of The Colossus.
 
In Modern Warfare 1 and 2:
 
 
Half-Life 2:
 


 Also, I agree with the Metal Gear Solid ones too.

" The introduction of The Flood. "
Dude, yes. I remember that vividly.

To go with this: The Introduction to Halo: Combat Evolved. I had that entire scene memorized word for word, except for Johnson's speeches, because he had like, four. But everything else in that cut scene was burned into my brain ("Well that's it then, bring the ship up to combat alert Alpha, I want everyone at their stations." 'Everyone, sir?' "Everyone...and Cortana..." 'Hmm?' "Lets give our old friends a warm welcome." 'I've already begun.'). And again, first landing on the ring, after waking up from the escape pod, was pretty awe-inspiring.

Also, at the end, where you explode the fuck out of the Installation. Such a "Take that." moment. Especially after what they did to Foe Hammer. Damn Covenant.

...you know, instead of listing more scenes from it, I'm just going to say "Halo: Combat Evolved" and leave it there. So many amazing scenes for me.

The intro to Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge were also really memorable. There's a lot more, but I don't feel like typing out a large list right now.

Not to get to technical, but he was never really alive, he was just a dream. Although I must admit I got pretty sad when he started to vanish and Yuna ran to hug him, only to run right through and smack her face on the deck of the ship. :S

Yeah if you didn't kill Dimitri then you are scum.
 
The plot twist at the end of Knight of the Old Republic is a good one and Bioshock had a good plot twist that I thought was pretty obvious but had a really good scene that revealed the twist.

I would have felt the same way but I really, really wish that they didn't use that scene in the trailer. As soon as I walked in to that room I already knew the whole story and everything and it just kind of ruined it for me. I wish it would have actually came as a surprise.

The kinda intro scene to Gears of War 2 after the hospital attack, where the president is giving a kickass speech. While he's speaking they pan over to a scene of a massive COG army marching out. That scene got me so pumped i was ready to murder every locust. 
 
That and re-introduction to Cole Train in in Gears 2.

A lot of you have mentioned some great scenes personally though I think the Halo 2 ending might just be one of the most universally emotionally enraging endings of all time. Thus technically making it a great scene, it really did make you want to "finish the fight" after all lol.

To date, this is the only moment in a video game that has managed to make me cry. Such a moving moment, especially after spending over 120 hours with those characters over the course of my playthrough.

I guess the most recent one is the end of ME2 when Joker comes out and saves you.

MW2, the knife-thing, ya know. And also the ending to HL2:Ep2.
 
And for some reason, the drugged up girl you can meet in GTA:IV hit me in some way, that's was really terrifying.

Bioshock 1, when Atlas' family get blown up. And hitting Andrew Ryan with the golf club.
