biggest surprise in a game

[second only to The One]

whether its something rediculous
or it something scary that made you jump
or a shocking ending
obivously
what were some of your biggest surprises

my most recent one was Castle Crasher (currently one of my favorite games..)
the last boss's 3rd form
was like: shitfuckrun!

I'd have to say seeing your girlfriends Head blown out her eye sockets
In the Darkness!
very cool game shame it was so underrated

 

[second only to The One]

The Darkness would have been amazing if it was a replayable sandbox

 

[a big stupid idiot]

The last case in Phoenix Wright - Justice For All. I had all the other cases figured out about mid way through but that one took so many twists and turns I was almost crushed when it ended.

the end of episode two in Half Life two, I wont spoil it too much. But when someone semi-vital to the game dies. didnt really expect that.

In Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem when you get to the second floor of the mansion, go into the bathroom and have the 'check' option on the bath tub. if you do there is a quick cut scene that zooms in on you dead in the bath filled with blood. a shrill scream echoes and a flash breaks the hallucination. some of the other hallucinations during the game are quite freaky and surprising, too!

The biggest surprise in a game? Probably when you figure out about the whole "would you kindly" thing in Bioshock. I was just like "Holy tits, didn't see that coming..."

Yeah, it's a nice family story isn't it?

Resident evil 4 bosses.
Their transformations... like...wow.
my favorite part whas when you've killed the big croc thingy fish when you're like .. pfew and than the rope get's hold of your leg.
(and leon's ice cold booty blowoff, what's up with that guy?)

Call of Cthulhu: Dark corner of the earth.
the scene you have to escape from the hotel. Gawd that was some scary shit.

Fast zombies.


I hate fast zombies!

When you get to the point in System Shock 2 where you find out who Polito really is.


That is the scariest moment of gaming. Bar NONE.

geuss whos revan?

Ahh for me the first time you encounter one of those bloodsuckers in STALKER (you guys all know what I'm talking about...)

I walked out and suddenly see this real "predator" shape running at me. Unloaded an entire clip and both barrels of the shotgun before I got out.

My housemate actually walked in going "WHAT'S WRONG WHAT HAPPENED" I was swearing so much.

That and the scene in FEAR where you hit the button to climb down the ladder and suddenly Alma is right there. I was like "CRAP *down down down down strafe aim* WHAT THE HELL WHERE DID SHE GO"

Awesome. Completely Awesome.

Two words, Dog, Window.

FF7:
No, not Aeris, I was kinda expecting that when I got the lvl 3 invulnerability limit break, that move was just too powerful. Plus I've already had characters die on me in FF5 and Phantasy Star 2.

No, I'm talking about the end-boss. Loosely quoting my inner speech here: "Wait, that was the end-boss already? I was just poking him a bit and still buffing up, preparing to unleash full carnage in a few rounds. And he's already dead? I knew that guy was a wimp from the moment I saw him, killing girls to make himself feel better, going all anguishy over everything. You can go stick it Sephy. You can't even grow a proper pair of wings."

Agreed, that made me jump too xD

 

[fedpayne]

Half Life. Ventilation Shaft. Sudden Marine attack. Bullet holes. Falling. POW POW POW. Reload, repeat.

Opposing Force. The helicopter! Yes! Now for an awesome, hopefully long to make up for how short the game has been so far, escape, shooting thigns from helicopter mission. No, the door. Wait, what the? NOOOOOO! LET ME OUT!

 

[Zwilorg]

Almost every movie part on Grim Fandango between the main character and the young lady skeleton hehe

The Bioshock and KOTOR reveals are the two most obvious ones in my opinion.

There was also one moment in (again) Bioshock, where you walk past this mannequin and after you reach a dead end, you turn around and that same mannequin is standing right there. It looses some of its punch putting it in words, but when it happened many expletives were shouted and shotgun blasts rang everywhere.
