Stand-out/jaw-dropping moments in games


Recommended Posts

1. John Marston galloping into Mexico - the musical score and the scenery are just excellent and it's probably the best moment in the entire game. Just goes to show how weak the musical score was the rest of the time :angry:

2. When Aeris dies in Final Fantasy - normally untouched by character deaths in games but this one hit me hard :(

3. When you first step out of the Vault 101 in Fallout 3 - never has desolation looked so gorgeous.

One thing I remember was the introduction of the 'Shivering Isles' expansion for Oblivion.

- Doesn't look much here but when you are playing on a big screen (with full max details) and some decent speakers it is awesome!

There is quite a few, I really can't remember them all - Some recent episodes were:

Red Dead Redemption -

The ending. I was so sure I had seen the end coming and you really began to like Marston. So when the ending outcome just did a 180 and you end up getting killed instead and then play his son ... I was really lost for words, my jaw was on the floor and it annoyed me for days, in a positive way.

Metal Gear Solid 4 -

This game had a lot of moments but again, the ending really stands out in my mind. I remember when he put that gun in his mouth and you hear the shot, all my childhood memories with that game just whizzed by and thought it was the end of Snake. Just fantastic!

Modern Warfare 2 -

While the overall story and game was nothing to wave your arms in the air about, the two scenes involving Shepherd towards the end, the betrayal and ending scene was really well executed. The soundtrack was fantastic and really cinematic.

ArmA II OA - Played an MP match the other day, a co-op session with about 10 people. At the very end as we had carried out our objective and the sun was slowly setting, the Chinook coming to pick is up really made a spectacle, hear it miles away and it came roaring in and throwing up a ton of dust. That sort of atmosphere, combined with sounds and amazing graphics really gives you chills down the spine and a big smile on the face (Y)

Half Life 2 Episode 2 - final battle, it just seemed so epic

Mass Effect 2 - last battle with the reaper

Mafia - the ending scene when

Modern Warfare 1: part where your Helicopter goes down.. after the EMP or Nuke. (Don't really remember.. it's been a while since I"ve played it).
