And the entire final cutscene. That wedding dress is forever burned into my mind. Forever. The haunting horror of Meryl's manly shoulders in a wedding dress..

Probably for MGS3 when [spoiler] Snake get's tortured by Volgin and the Boss. I don't know why, but that scene was really hard to watch. It was really brutal. [/spoiler] Also, as someone else said, the proposal in MGS4. ****ing terrible. Meryl should have shot that wimp in the face when he asked.

Either the last cut scene in Metal Gear Solid 4 or the one after Snake kills The Boss. Nothing can beat MGS cut scenes.

Even though I enjoyed the game, I'm gonna have to go with every cutscene in Star Ocean 4. Especially the ones where Lymle spoke. I so hoped she got killed off in some horrible, disgusting fashion. Alas...

I loved MGS4, but honestly, Old Snake was lame. Raiden in all of his badassery pretty much stole the show.

This. And [spoiler] the microwave tunnel and the part were Snake is being attacked ruthelessly by the Dwarf Gekko. Also Naiomi death scene made me cry. And also in MGS3 the fight in the lillies and the Boss's final moments were horrible. [/spoiler]

Blech, no way. MGS4 completely ruined Raiden. He went from being a somewhat compelling character to complete generic "emo badass". It was awful. Honestly one of the game's most disappointing characters by far.

He's an over-dramatic cyborg ninja that is a cheap knock-off of Gray Fox. He looks like chick, whines like a chick, overreacts like a chick, and is as annoying as a chick.

I thought he was as good as normal raiden in mgs2, and I have a general genuine question :P why people always throw these "if any character thinks about his wife/girlfriend he is automatically emo" ?

I wonder do people need stories in videogames or do they not? I mean just because they are characters in videogames, is there some kind of role that says videogames character should be always robotic without any feelings ? then why in the first place people demand to see some explaination or stories to be included in every game?

I disagree with the guy who said Old Snake was lame and I disagree with people who say Ninja Raiden was lame too :evil: both were awesome cool characters in MGS4 and I actually felt for Raiden in that game in the ending of act 4.

What? Raiden in MGS4 was incredible! He wasn't an emo, that's for sure. Emos (emoes?) whine and moan about their problems. Raiden, on the other hand, is silent about his problems, at least in MGS4. I thought it was really sad how all he cared about was killing Vamp and protecting Snake, ready to die to complete either goal, no matter what. He's not an emo badass, he's a broken badass.

The last third of Heavy Rain. The idea that a story with such obscene plotholes had recieved so much praise gave me a hernia.

Seriously, I think I'd go with the end of ME1. BioWare did a great job with the handful of twists, and unlike the vast majority of games actually had me wondering how things were going to turn out.

:lol: It blew up everything. OT: I played KZ1 for 150+h, and I have some sort of attachment to Templar for the identity of the KZ series. [spoiler] So when Radec killed him, and when he sacrificed himself, I was all :o :evil: LETS GO GET EM **** HIGS! and I couldn't calm down until I finished the game :P [/spoiler] **still waiting for someone to mention a certain scene when a certain female lead character gets impaled by a certain silver haired insane supersoldier in a certain role playing game two generations ago**
