A moment in a game that stuck with you:

Hello everyone!

I just want to know what people qualify/quantify as their favorite memory in a game. A single moment where something penetrated deep into their emotions, maybe even instincts.

It could be funny as hell or something that made you scream like a little girl or anything in between. Thanks! :)

p.s.

I know this is system wars and a level of bias must be in the topic to even be considered in the right section, so I will just say that I think of Playstation when I think of a game maker that makes a lot of games that pull at my emotions. Just the intro to Gravity Rush made feel like Kat was more human and fragile than some supernatural freak of nature who can just wreck the beautiful world.

Your turn!

The first one to come to my mind is KoTOR plot twist.

Wohoo! I got answers!

I love this place! XD

Many moments in Resident Evil 4.

The boss fights in Shadow of the Colossus and the ending.Made me actually cry.

There were a lot of them during my gaming "career",but here,I'll go with RDR ending and MGS4 final boss battle...

Nope... you can't say it without spoiling it.

As for me, MGS3 ending, which is about the same as RDR. Can't tell what without spoilers.

Also, the introduction of the first zombie in RE, the licker in RE2 and Nemesis in RE3

The entirety of Final Fantasy 9. It makes me wet. Badosh

"Wet" is not really an emotion! If you mean sexual ... Yeah, you need to explain otherwise that just seems like a vague innuendo,lol

End of RDR

End of MGS3

Climbing stairs after fighting The End in MGS3

Ending and every colossi fight of SotC

Shadow Moses revival in MGS4

Psycho Mantis boss fight in MGS

Screaming Mantis boss fight in MGS4

"Would you kindly", BioShock

Ship level in Uncharted 3

End of ME2

I think this pretty much covers it up

The entire Kingdom Hearts 2 game , it taught me so much about friendship... :)

Haha! So many reminicent memories left by people already.

Trust me, I love video games just as much as you all! (Well, almost as much)

:D

Atunement level in Journey, Ending of RDR, 1-1 in Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2's Heart of Ice, AC Brotherhood first time exploring Rome, Twilight zone in LoZ TP, omg.

Although being honest, the RDR ending has 2 parts IMO... that's probably the only thing we can say about it without really spoiling anything.

Huh. Well, sounds interesting!

"Also, the introduction of the first zombie in RE, the licker in RE2 and Nemesis in RE3"

Nemesis is a badass. (Dunno about the others, though)

I hated and was terrified of one part in the game where you walked out (before heading into a gardin looking part with a statue) and was in this wide open street with zombies than the Nemisis shows up out of nowhere to punch the zombies out of the way to try and kill me. I COULD BARELY EVEN MOVE THE ANALOG STICK WITHOUT SHAKING AND SCREAMING! )_)

I think I need to change my pants right now. lol

The only one I can think of, which probably means its the one that has stuck with me all this time, is the cutscene where (SPOILER) Emma (?) dies in Metal Gear Solid 2. Right before they leave that room, the cutscene features them standing up and walking out in slow motion. It just brought out the fact that they were working together, that they have something to do and they are in it together. It also helped that the music was great, and the moment was so touching before it that you wanted them to succeed.Well, that was what I felt and thought.

Basically from the 2:20 mark on this video.

After watching that video, I'm going to say that, that scene was probably one of the most touching as well, but that is going away from my point before (unless someone else found that this whole scene stuck with them).

Hmm. So true of a lot of games, I think. I could not help but overhear this as a big theme in Infamous 2. The "good Cole" and "bad Cole" infamous (no pun intended) people keep making.

Oh, and I really apologize if I am not expanding and proving more of my own examples beyong Playstation or the big three.

... I think one of the bigger "light bulb" moments in my recent memory has been playing with Angry Birdsand realizing I could roughly map acceleration and length problems directly by just using the touch screen. Atm, 'course, I was just like "huh, I just need to aim it like this *sling!*". The thing about that is, the mechnic and feeling behind that has been implemented in (arguably) better ways by other games.

Yes, the *********** (censored for spoilers) and the last duel, which stroke me as a kickass way to end the game.

It's Jason, isn't it?

No man, you got it wrong... inFamous has 2 endings, meaning you have to play it twice to get both endings, which is not the case for RDR, where the ending consists in 2 parts. I mean, the game ends and then you can get a lil extra, but that extra can really go unnoticed.

Davekeeh

Yeah, I know who it was. I watched it on a play through by some YT user called dspgaming (I think) and he kinda figured it out as he played so it was not a big shock to me because it was like having a friend who already knew and saw a lot of pieces of the puzzle and both of you kinda put two and two together.

So, are you looking forward to "Beyond: Two Souls" just based on the fact it made by the same studio who made HR?

Beginning of Uncharted 2, end of RDR, end of Arkham City, beginning of Mass Effect 2.

Okay, so inFamous 2 has a different ending based on chain events. Good cool if your moral decisions and actions are good and bad cole if you play like a d-bag. Got it.

"the game ends and then you can get a lil extra, but that extra can really go unnoticed".

Like, a super secret gun you can use when you replay the game again? (ala Silent Hill alien gun) Or some sort of trophy/achievement?

. . . I mean, I know you are not trying to give spoilers, but GIMME SOMETHIN'. haha

In ME3 I'd say what Tali does if you don't save the Quarian fleet and Mordin's determination in the tower if you go renegade on him.

Plenty of experiences in WoW over the years. When I was younger, I played OoT and MM with my father (we swapped a lot, I enjoyed watching). He's one of those sports loving, anti-gamer types, but he really enjoyed Zelda. Hasn't been interested in any other game since except poker that he got for free on his iPhone (he doesn't know how to buy apps or anything, not that he'd want to). Anyway, having memories of two of the greatest games ever made with my dad is pretty awesome.

Actual, specific moments? There have been plenty, but some that spring to mind occurred in NIER. [spoiler] Walking around Seafront aimlessly for literally 15-20 minutes, trying to decided whether to tell the lonely old lighthouse lady that the letters she thinks she's been sending to her old lover for over fifty years have actually been stockpiled by the postman, who felt too sorry to tell her that her husband had died all that time ago, and that the whole town had been pretending to be her lover writing letters back to her. The old lady is about to die because of the disease and you have the choice to tell her the truth or play along.. The sidequest was relatively long and you sort of got to know about the old lady a bit, and your feelings towards her change completely when you learn the truth behind her story. [/spoiler]

It's funny how all these Western RPG's that advertise important decisions have never had near the same effect as that side mission that could easily be skipped had. I was choking up. I decided to tell her the truth.. I felt good with how the ending to that side mission played out. There were plenty of obscure side missions that many wrote off as fetch quests that really had touching stories behind them... Man, I'm going to play NIER again, sixth playthrough here I come.

Ok, usually in sandbox games you're free to roam even after you beat the game... in RDR, there's something you can do after the ending to leave no loose ends in the story.

EDIT: Why don't you just play it??? It's a great game IMO. Unless of course, you're a Nintendo guy.

Ten years later and I still think about the fact that Meryl was raped by revolver ocelot... that was sad and scary.

Gears of War 3, when Dom and Marcus finally make love.

The ending of Read Dead Redemption, that's the best ending to any video game ever. Ever.

dommeus

Great scene.

The Entire Perfect Dark 64 storyline. Yes it was that good. Beating Omega Rugal in KOF 98 with Kim Kaphwan with a perfect. Taking Down Kohryu in The Last Blade 2. Defeating Woodman in the original Mega Man. and many many more to namenini200

Whoa, I am guessing you played a lot of games since you named some retro ones. I think I have played a lot of those just by emu's and also on the original games console.

So when you like an old game and it is remastered to be in HD (or w/e) do you like the old look or the new look of the game?

[QUOTE="dommeus"]

Sun_Universe

Great scene.

I literally had a rage quit with the ending of RDR, I actually did the whole game again, so that I could save before the ending to free roam as Marston. [spoiler] I just could not play as another guy, no way. [/spoiler]

[QUOTE="GreenGoblin2099"]

Yes, the *********** (censored for spoilers) and the last duel, which stroke me as a kickass way to end the game.

Yeah, I know that's not something super ultra awesome, but that final screen

[spoiler] when Jack turns around and all goes red and RDR name appear... hell, it screams classic Old West movie to me, and thought it was awesome [/spoiler]

First time I played COD2(my first next gen game).

Playing a Super Smash Bros Melee demo at Circuit City for the first time.

GRAW 16 player co-op

Oh and first time playing Rush mode in BC2.

RDR ending

Arkham City ending

Both had really unexpected twists that almost had me tearing up

Battlefield 3 also has some really intense moments in multiplayer

mgs_freak91

Hmm. That's interesting. I can see something of that after you linked the video and brought it to my attention. Thanks for that, btw!

That guy with the glasses kinda seems like a cry baby, but I like the monologue at the end. How he said he just wanted love or something. I think a lot of people can relate to that.
