MODERATOR EDIT: DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO SPOILERS!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I thought I'd start this topic because I'm both bored and curious. Basically, are there any specific moments in games that have stuck with you to this day?

For me, two that instantly stand out in my mind are the T. Rex encounter in the original Tomb Raider game and the amazing gameworld of Shadow of the Colossus. I won't soon forget either.

When I beat Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time and suddenly he turned into a 10-foot monstrous pig with two gigantic blades that throw the Master Sword off my hand. And then I was circled by fire and dark clouds surrounded the sky.

Oh snap!

My personal favourite remains to this day the HL2:Ep2 moment where there are two mine shafts on either side of you, and you see an Antlion guardian break one of them.
Then you hear a crash, turn around, and see another.

Surviving being baked in Portal is one. When you get that sense you're out of the controlled area of the world and feel as if you're rebelling against them...that's an OMG moment.

GTA Vice City.
A chopper, a beautiful sunset, and She Sells Sanctuary.

Me and my two buds were caught deep in a shared, unplanned, unexpected, silent state of awe. To this day I hold great pride in being the man behind the controls when this happened for us :P

Most of them are from Silent Hill 2.

I played it with friends. When the first half-zombie came out from under a car, we all flipped. And then the first scene with Pyramid Head banging the mannequins... Wow. The whole room screamed "WHAT THE FUCK?!?" at the same time. :)

This one:

  


Recently, the end of MGS4 made me go "No way!"

The end of HL2 Ep2 left me speechless for a while and in CoD4 when the guy you've been playing half the game dies. That was more of a WTF moment though.

1. After playing Link to the Past for the first time and reading a flier for Toys'R'Us and seeing a 3D N64 Zelda ad. (I wasn't really into keeping up with gaming news back then so you can imagine my shock and surprise.)
2.Helicopter crash in CoD4. I was literally screaming "Go, go go!" at my TV screen while I watched that plume of smoke and waves of force heading for the copter.
3. "Would you kindly?"
4. KOTOR plot twist
5. First time I saw Gears of War (graphics wise)

One of the last ones I can think of is when I beat "Mile High Club" on Veteran, in Call of Duty 4. I could not believe it.
