**SPOILER WARNING** Expect tons of spoilers in this thread
So guys, thread title says it all. What are your favourite videogame moments? This can range from the title screen perhaps? a gameplay segment, a notable character, a boss fight, a town, a setpiece coupled with soundtrack, a cutscene or even something that was so bad you found it hillarious.
The only thing i think should be excluded from this is online moments (no "killed 10 guys with AWP!!" sort of things) and saying something like "chapter 10 in HL2". Refer to the specific moment. The final thing is that it must be from a game, so nothing from the system wars. If you cant think of 5 right now then 3 is fine, or as much as you can do. Here are mine.

5. Kameo - Troll barrage -
Kameo along with PDZ were the main reasons i got a 360 at launch and it really impressed me. That was untill i reached the part where you're at the badlands and must get past 100s of trolls, that was when i realised we were in next-gen. Sure you could just stamp on them but the moment coupled with timing left me with my jaw hanging wide.
4. Sonic Adventure 2 - City Escape -
E3 2000? or E3 2001? I really cant remember but i saw SA 2 and my mind was blown. The graphics looked like a generational leap over SA1 and sonic was moving so fast and looked big. What made it worse was that i didnt get it untill 4 months after launch so i had 4 long months of my friend telling me how amazing the game was and what his Chao got up to. The day finally came (my b-day) and i popped this bad boy in. It was all that i had imagined. I kept pausing the game several times just to take it all in, was overwhelemd.
3. Majoras Mask - Intro -
From what i've gathered, most people do not like the typical Zelda opening. A young boy in a forest, you do a few typical village tasks and this extends for a few hours. I love that. I really love the come before the storm and the peaceful aspect, really shows Links just an ordinary kid. But as we all know, MM changed that. Literally from 5 minutes of starting the game, you've met the main antagonist and have already been thrown into a set of unfourtunate events. The instant you got control of the game, you have no idea what to do. I mean your goals clear but there hasnt been any tutorial, the musics beating fast and you're under pressure. Definately got the heart pumping.
2. FFX - Yuna and Tidus Kiss scene
FFX was my first video game opera and it was one hell of an emotional ride. I know its pretty shunned upon with all its cheesiness but i was thoroughly emersed. I WANTED them to be together and not let anything happen to them. Although you know what has to happen prior to this scene. So seeing this was really heart-warming.
1. Majoras Mask - Happy Mask Salesman -(spoilers avoided for the sake of Foxhound_fox).
From this
To this
In a few seconds.
First what i loved about him is how in OOT his role was so minimal, just one of those shop owners and for him to become such a main pillar of MM, well that was bloody brilliant from Nintendo. What makes him and every one of his appearances my favourite moment is that you really did not expect him to be like how he was. I mean his name starts with happy for goodness sakes and with what OOT established of him it felt like one of those moments where a neighbour is the nicest person in the world and is later revealed to be a serial killing monkey raping communist. Nothing like that but his insanity is shown when Link fails his task and his constant attempt at bargaining shows him to be a desperate man.
These are mine. What are yours SW?
EDIT: Do i have to put a 56k warning on the thread title?
