Just those story moments that video games occasionally do that are just... amazing.
Spoilers, k?
Oh, and it's in no way to complete. I'll fill it out as I think of other moments that were great. One game can have multiple moments - but if it's the same kind of moment, I'll try to collapse them into the same post.
The moment when Minerva dismisses Ezio and turns to face the camera. That was an amazing moment that really played to the full potential of the animus as a storytelling device, and one of those moments that give you goose bumps when you are not expecting it.
For me, the whole "Would you kindly" reveal just worked on such a deep level. Of course the game is linear, forcing you down the path that you played - but that only made it more effective for me.
Basically the "Rules of Nature!"-moment. Which repeats for every boss-fight.
That seemingly seamless transition from instrumental music to howling "Rules of Nature!" as you turn the tables on the first boss - really setting the pace for the rest of the game.
And Sam. And Sundowner. Mistral. Monsoon. Armstrong. Bladewolf...
One of those crazy-multiplayer moments that happen once in a life-time.
This occured years ago, in beta. I was playing as an enforcer, being the wheelman of my Patriot V20 Jericho (basically a mustang), a friend hanging out of the passenger window, chasing a convoy of criminals.
At full-clip, I manage to drift a full 360 around one of the enemy cars - my passenger obliterating the enemy team. All the while Little Boots' "No Brakes" was blasting on the car's sound system. Ridiculous, of course. But magical.
I think that was the moment when I fell in love with the Fast and the Furious series as well.
