Your most memorable scene in any video game? [SPOILERS, duh]

[jimbo118]

But you played as an SAS soldier, fighting the Russian Spetznaz.

I stood next to griggs the whole time, so I thought that was also Griggs, thanks

Fighting the spetsnaz? WUT!?

 

[Cavalry]

thats what I have pulled from the game (I lost hold on the story during what may have been crucial parts.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Those be some Ultranationalists boy.





Defeating Bagan in Super Godzilla for the SNES. **** yeah button mashing.

 

[Cavalry]

so wait, the Spets aren't part of Russia's army?

now you got me confused.

 

[taviow]

There's quite some memorable stuff in Deus Ex too.

Spoiler

Walton Simons. I love killing the bastard. One of my favorite DX characters.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I didn't pay much attention either, but from what I know the Russians we fought in COD4 were a bunch of Ultranationalists fighting for Imran. They weren't really a part of the Russian military as far as I know.

 

[ailevation]

Werent the SAS fighting russian mercenaries during that whole campaign? Then the real russians militants came through at the end, they looked badass with their ushankas.

 

[Cavalry]

then why were they called the Spetsnaz in the Multiplayer, especially when you fight the SAS.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Thread is spoiler tagged just in case anybody would be stupid enough to walk into a 'GREATEST GAMING MOMENTS' thread without realising there'd be some big ones in there.

 

[Gray Fox]

[_Z_Ryuken]

Is it bad that I can't recall anything significant? *prods brain*

I guess maybe that moment I turned on the N64and the things popped up. That was pretty surreal.

 

[jimbo118]

then why were they called the Spetsnaz in the Multiplayer, especially when you fight the SAS.

The bad Russkies in COD4 were a seperatist group of Ultranationalists.

The good Russkies you fight with(and who save you at the end)were Loyalist government special forces.

 

[Asuka]

Pretty much all of Deus Ex!!!!
The ending of Metal Gear Snake Eater. A lot of Metal Gear BTW.
The ending of Half-Life and Episode 2.

 

[jimbo118]

[Dog--]

Morrowind: "You have contracted corpus"
Me: "God dammit..."

Morrowind: "You've been awakened by a strange noise"

In Morrowind when you kill the heart at the final boss, also..

Actually, there is lots more for Morrowind.. It's such an awesome game..

[Bad^Hat]

Saint's Row: *boat blows up*

Which reminds me - Assassin's Creed ending. I don't think I've ever hated myself so much for finishing a game.

Bioshock - 4510

hardy har har

 

[theotherguy]

The beginning of Half-life 1 for the very first time.

It was something totally new in an FPS game. I remember being amazed that they put all of those cinematic, scripted sequences at the beginning. I was hooked from then on.

 

[Narvi]

Kane lives in death! Kane lives in death!

The time has come - to destroy GDI!

Man, I can't believe I forgot that one.

 

[Houndini]

to many to name..

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Halo, Chief escaping via Longsword.

 

[Qhartb]

When time stops at the end of HL2. My thoughts were something like: *Alyx stops in midsentence* "Crap, something screwed up the game. Wait, there's the G-Man. The G-Man screwed up the game!"

A bunch of stuff from Psychonauts. Particularly, going into a mind for the first time, getting stuck in the static in the brain-tumbler experiment, Sasha's mind, Lloyd's mind, and some of Lungfishopolis.

The dream sequences in Max Payne.

Aeris ('nuff said)

Surviving the fire in Portal.

KotOR's famous twist.

Oh, and for being "memorable" (not necessarily in a good way), watching the opening scene of Final Fantasy X-2 after beating Final Fantasy X. That was one of the biggest "WTF" moments in my gaming life.

 

[Jintor]

Everything from Psychonauts was memorable. Even the Giant... Hairless... Bear.

And of course... "Once again, the world is quick to bury me."

And "How was I supposed to prepare for an ambush BY MY OWN FORCES?!?!?!"

 

[Warbie]

The intros to HL and Hl2 were awesome - especually the lab scene. The opening to HL is the best i've seen. OoT also deservers a mention - Link waking up and finding Navi, the music, setting, and how it all blends so well. I boot up OoT every year of so just to play the first 20 mintues.

 

[jimbo118]

When time stops at the end of HL2. My thoughts were something like: *Alyx stops in midsentence* "Crap, something screwed up the game. Wait, there's the G-Man. The G-Man screwed up the game!"

For me that was one of the worst endings evers, i was honestly thinking "what!? Thats it? Fs"

Agro's scene before the final colossi in Shadow Of The Colossus and the later scene with him.

 

[Laivasse]

The beginning of HL1 and the beginning of HL2

Approaching the final colosseum in Shadow of the Colossus, Agro falling (as someone said) seeing the final colossus, as well as the superb ending and so many other jawdropping vistas in that game.

Ico:
Opening the main gate and trying to escape with Yorda, and my D: face of incomprehension as she keeps falling and can't keep up. Lots of scenes of vertiginous architecture. Also the ending to that game.

The Fortress of Regrets and endgame of Planescape: Torment where

Spoiler

you see your party members die one by one and you come face to face with your other fundamental incarnations

The general feeling I got from Baldur's Gate when entering towns like Beregost and Baldur's Gate itself - like finally I felt like I was playing the ultimate sword'n'sorcery RPG.

aaaand.... Hitman 2:
The penultimate mission which is a set-up. To my retarded shame I couldn't figure out that

Spoiler

my sniper rifle was filled with blanks and that I was shooting at a cutout

until I had entered the building and gone right up to the 'target'. At that point the sudden influx of enemies and the clone sniper at the window were all 'OH SHI-' moments. Also, the final level in the church - great.
