Whether they’re touching, happy, sad, or funny, I want to hear/share some of the best moments witnessed in a video game. BUT BE WARNED: SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD!!
-When Master reveals his true identity to Snake in Metal Gear Solid.
-When the nurse starts bleeding from the head in Silent Hill. Scared the crap outta me.
-Wile playing Max Payne, I once did a full 360 in Bullet Time, with both berreta’s blazing, taking down a whole room full of baddies.
More to come later…
I can think of one.
When Harry Mason has to listen to Nurse Garland’s heartbreaking transformation in ‘Silent Hill’.
The entire opening sequence of MGS2
When the long red verticial bar hit down in Tetris.
Any moment ever with Yoshi.
Blanka crying his eyes out as we finally meet his mom and find out his name is Jimmy in Street Fighter II
The whole opening sequence to Final Fantasy VIII, “Liberi Fatali” is the coolest song.
The Aeris Death scene in FF7, it still gets me
Spoilers>>>>>>>>> for FFX and Shenmue 2
The Love Scene in FFX, where Tidus and Yuna were in the lake and Yuna started crying because she couldn’t go to Zanarkand. And then went in for the kiss, and they madeout, such a beautiful scene.
Also the ending to FFX, when Tidus started disappearing, and Yuna keep saying shaking her head “No, no, no”. And then Tidus tells her that he has to go, and he is sorry that he couldn’t show her Zanarkand. Tidus then says goodbye, and starts walking towards the light, and then Yuna runs after him, to hug him, but she runs right through him and falls down. Then Tidus starts crying when the green screen is behind him(raise the volume on your TV). But wait Yuna then rises up, with each of them facing back to back Yuna tells Tidus, “I love you” (Finally after 10 games someone says it.) Tidus then turns around, knowing he can’t truly hug Yuna he puts his arms around her, and keeps them there. He then walks through he and jumps off the ship.
The stare down between Ryo and Lan Di in Shenmue 2. Also the whole 4th cd, when you finally meet Shenhua(the girl Ryo kept seeing in his dreams).
When Raiden dodges an attack from Solidus, and slices him in the back during the awesome final battle during MGS2. This one move totally changed my mind about Raiden.

Yeah that was so fucking awesome. I really liked that John Woo tribute in the beginning of the fight scene when Solidus got into his stance and then in slow-motion, you saw the birds fly behind him in the background. MGS2 had so many moments.
Fighting back-to-back with Luke Skywalker against Desaan’s thugs in a freighter depot in deep space, lightsabers whirring and blasters ricocheting all over the place, while Williams’ soundtrack thunders in the background…
That’s just one of MANY in Jedi Knight II.
Looking up at the end of the first three days in Zelda: Majora’s Mask, and realizing that the world really was coming to an end, and you were too late to stop it.
Shooting down the helicopter in Half-Life.
Wandering the streets of Portland at night while its raining in GTA3, and beating down the poor thug who mugged an old woman. And then beating up the old woman and taking her money anyways.
The mission in Tie Fighter where your wingmates betray you, and the mission where you fly alongside Darth Vader.
And about 5 million more…
The moment when a Tie Fighter enters a docking bay and flies above you in Dark Forces
Blowing away your first baddie piece by piece in Soldier of Fortune

You damn right ICO, that game was the most underated game of last year, that and Shadow of Destiny.
– The inside of the robot’s head in the original Wasteland.
– Randomly bumping into Elminster in Baldur’s Gate and Drizzt in Baldur’s Gate 2.
– Approaching the Death Star II in X-Wing: Alliance.
– Every mother-loving second of Half-Life.
The Psycho Mantis fight in MGS, when Meryl puts the gun to her head. Also, the scene where Snake kills Sniper Wolf.
The cutscene right before you fight Eddie in Silent Hill 2.
In the very first Resident Evil, running around the mansion while that girl(can’t remember her name) is playing the piano. Very spooky.
The end of Karateka when you approach your kidnapped girlfriend, but forget you’re still in a combat stance. Insulted, she kills you with one kick to the head and you have to start all over (If this chick ccould kill people with one kick to the head, why didn’t SHE bust herself out of the villain’s hideout, damnit!?!).
The first time you do a super combo in any of the Capcom “Marvel vs.” games, watching your character pummel your opponent with garish fullscreen attacks while seeing the Hulk hit him 45 times as boulders fall on him …and then seeing that, after all of that, his Power meter went down maybe 20 percent, tops.
Realizing after seeing all of the animalities, fatalities, friendships, and animalities in Mortal Kombat 2 in the arcade that there was no point to the game existing beyond that.
Fighting your way throguh Half-Life, one of the most original FPS games of all time, only to reach a level that requires PLATFORM JUMPING…in a FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER!!!
Finishing th…wait a minute. I’m sorry. I’m listing the UNcoolest video game moments…
…WHoops. wink
I ran down a flight of stairs in Half-Life in the single-player game only to run smack into two marines. I was out of ammo, but I had Ol’ Bluie (my crowbar) and managed to dodge and hit until both were dead. Getting through that game was a crowning achievement.
System Shock II when you get further down into the ship and have to run through a room filled with millions of alien/human hybrids. You have to kill some to get through, but you can’t stop and fight or you’ll be overwhelmed.
Hiding myself under a box in MGS, only to be discovered by a curious guard, only to leap up and kick his ass! I love that box! Also the Psycho Mantis psychic power demonstration
Fallout II when you meet the Knights who say Ni, and when you run into the casting room (it’s a building filled with people who auditioned for Fallout II). Also, getting the car back after it gets ripped off in Reno without resorting to violence.
Beating Ultima Underworld I. That whole game was just so good…Ultima IV / V where you can use the Skull of Mondain to wipe out entire towns
being chosen to be part of the Emperor’s Hand during TIE Fighter
playing Jedi Knight multi-player in a dark room with a bunch of friends and Force Blinding one of them. Because the room was dark and the screens were so close, the effect was to have a blind character AND a blind player!
getting a dwarven pathfinder for the first time in Myth: The Fallen Lords…accurate molitov cocktail throwing = goodness
smashing the backboard for the first time in One-On-One basketball for the Commodore 64
making the opponents goalie crumble into dust through repeated slashing with your stick in Activision’s Ice Hockey for the Atari 2600
beating the shit out of cocky kids on Mortal Kombat II
There are millions more moments for me…<sigh> a life wasted playing vids!
Gabriel Logan running from the subway to the park through the rain in Washington, D.C., andnearly getting hit by a cop car
Dunking in Double Dribble, that never got old.
