PORTAL 2 SPOILERS: for me, it was my first time doing the final boss fight, and having the realization that you need to shoot a portal to the moon. Such a cool way to resolve the fight, and doubly satisfying because of all the talk of moon rocks sprinkled into the game up to that point. Very well done
The Halo 3 Warthog run at the end, legendary
Leaving the sewers the first time playing Oblivion.
Bioshock: >!Finding out I was being controlled by “would you kindly”!<
The first time I got nuked by the oil baddies in Death Stranding.
The intro is up there too: when that music hits.
Coming down out of the mountains and seeing Whiterun hold for the first time.
I speak for almost all of the kids back in 2009…. “Remember, No Russian” *elevator ding*
Seeing an IRL friend moving His Charakter in cs1.6 on my Screen for the First time at a LAN party.
Also that those Playground Myths actually worked in Pokemon blue/red.
The Vault 101 door opening to the Capital Wasteland will always stick with me!
Watching Rapture for the first time ahhhhh
Titanfall 2 the moment you are in a time freeze and second one when robot you are fighting with in campaign meets you few hundred meters across rubble and ocean so you can complete mission. Then catches you when you come back. Awesome stuff.
So many, but detonating Megaton in Fallout 3, and No Russian come to mind.
The openning of The Last of Us when Joel’s daughter die…😢
I have two: coming out of the shrine of resurrection in Zelda Breath of the Wild. The wide view of hyrule and the surrounding lands just struck me
The second was elite dangerous in vr, coming out of a hangar into the station centre and the sense of scale just hits you in vr. So good.
Intro to Bioshock.
The end of *Life Is Strange* Episode 4.
I’ve seen a lot of people say the end of episode 3, but for me, as soon as Max saved William’s life, I just knew there’d be some tragedy trade-off, and I was right, so Chloe showing up paralyzed in the last scene didn’t shock me.
But the ending of Episode 4 (Max drugged, Chloe murdered, Jefferson revealed to be the killer) hit me harder than almost anything I’d seen in a game.
Farcry 5 MAJOR SPOILERS >!When the bomb drops just as you’re arresting the father.!<
In Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, when you walk out of the sewer for the first time and see the open world.
Elden Ring, I think after Stormveil castle, when you are in the open world again and you see the beautiful aesthetics in front of you and the areas you can go to, I think its Liurna lakes.
Actually Elden Ring is full of awe moments like seeing the grotesque red Caelid or the beautiful Sofria underground with the beautiful night sky.
The strippers in duke nukem
Nebelhiem incident ff7
When the nuke goes off in CoD Modern Warfare. Totally didn’t expect that to happen
Stepping out into Cyrodiil from the sewers in Oblivion.
My buddy got a 360 and HDTV and that shit was insane at the time.
The BF3 intro when you take off from the carrier. Coming from BF2 I was in awe during that mission!
Having to leave Earth after the reaper attack in ME3
Leaving the pelican and looking up to see the ring on [Halo: combat evolved.]( https://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/44/43844/A1.png)
Final Fantasy 6 (3 at release) with the floating continent and what Kefka did. My kid brained could barely comprehend and I was covered in goosebumps
Horizon zero dawn when aloy found out about the scientist locking themselves in the mountain.
In red dead redemption one. The ending where Jon dies. I restarted the game probably 3 times cause I refused to believe they killed him off the way they did
RDR2. Graphically amazing..then the game play . Just an amazing game
Mass effect 3, seeing >!the fucking mother of all thresher maws take down a reaper.!< there were also other moments like that in the game but that one is my favorite imo
Landing on the beach in Halo! Epic!
GTA3, driving off the bridge and into the city for the first time. After playing the top down games for countless hours, you’re finally IN GTA, radio playing, pedestrians jibbering, tires screeching around every corner…
It was the first 3D GTA and there was SO MUCH HYPE for it. One of the few occasions I was allowed to play games on a school night, and one of the few games I ever pre-ordered. I read every magazine and combed over every screenshot, speculating on the forums about what you might be able to do. A core gaming moment for sure.
When you first meet the marines/hasmat team in half-life
Psycho Mantis reading your memory card was jaw dropping in MGS.
