Your most breathtaking moment ever experienced in a video game?

Killing this Bastard: *img* Lionheart08

Before playing MGS4 I would have said things like many other have said in this thread, but after completing that masterpiece of a game nothing even compares at all now. Though walking down the wall of the citadel core behind the gargantuan reaper in Mass Effect wasn't bad either :P

In Medieval 2: Total War; my tiny army of 241 soldiers versus over 3000 Turks. It was an epic battle in which I won; probably because I was defending a citadel but that's besides the point. The french own. :)

It was such a sad moment seeing being destroyed by the sathanas

When I saw that, I felt so...doomed. The greatest that humanity had to offer was destroyed with ease by one ship out of many. The sense of doom was so strong that it was oppressive.

I remember a similar scenario in Medieval 1 for me. Had 73 byzantine infantry vs the main Mongol army of some 1500 men. (7 true heroes survived)

I won, their king was killed and their faction was vanquished.

Darn I was lucky their ballistas ran out of ammo lol.

The most breathtaking moment, for me, was my first sighting of the GTVA Colossus in Freespace 2.

The thing is just so massive, and fills you with a feeling of safety, as though it is an aegis for humanity, protecting it against all that stands to destroy us...

Gotta say I found the encounters with the SJ Satanas more thrilling, those ships are monsters, smaller but awesome. The point where a satanas destroyed the damaged Collossus was simply epic, I still cry for that ships destruction at night!.

The Embassy battle in GRAW

Most of Mass Effect

Attacking the SSD Executor in X-wing: Alliance

The armored train level of Medal of Honor: Frontline

The Volga-crossing sequence on your way to Stalingrad in Call of Duty

The Sink the Musashi level in Heroes of the Pacific

...That's all I have for now

I remember Attacking the executor in X-wing Alliance, was awesome. Pity I never completed the game, was always too annoyed when going through deathstar, took soooo long time.. Never had the patience too get back out.

Coming out of the sewer in Oblivion. My mind exploded.Deiuos

I've said it in pretty much every "what game do you want made?" thread and I will say it again: I would soil myself with glee if I were ever to hear Freespace 3 announced...

when i first played half life 2 :o so many great moments

but the most recent one was when i was playing mgs4 and you had to crawl through the microwave thing and the fight at the end....that game was amazing

When you first see the tower and what the world has become in HL2

The ending of FF8. I'm not sure what happened, but it was touching nonetheless. I was majorly crushing on Faye Wong before the game anyway, which helped.

When Tidus pulls the tackle in bltizball in the opening cinematic of FFX. Mostly because I was freakishly excited for this game, and I kind of liked his "Im a star player" attitude, at first anyway...

When Snake solutes a certain grave in MGS3

Edit: Oh yes

*SPOILERS for ODIN SPHERE*

When you take out velvet's brother w/ mercedes. That's pretty sad. Not the correct way to go though.
