Moments in gaming that you'll never forget

[Ultra_Caboose]

The end of disc 1 in Final Fantasy 7. (Seriously, if I need to explain it, god help you...)

Metal Gear Solid - Psycho Mantis' fight

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - The first time you hear the "cornered" music in court.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - The opening cutscene.

Final Fantasy 8 - The opening cutscene as well

Steel Batallion - Learning how to make your mech fucking walk. The quote, "why are there six pedals when there are only four directions?" comes to mind...

 

[Walkchalk]

BlazBlue: Using Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan and hearing the epic music

Portal: Still Alive dur

Assassin's Creed: My first leap of faith. I was like HOLY SHIT. Honsetly thought I was done for.

Fallout 3: When I found out baseball bats could decapitate people. The head flew across the room xD.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

I have a lot, but I've played many games(with a few youtube videos.)

Parasite Eve: The Opera scene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPXS8xMXzOQ](Which remains the most powerful event in gaming for me) and the burning horse carriage scene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEtk23-lllI]

Golden Eye: Zooming into Bond at the very beginning on the dam

Chrono Trigger: When Frog uses Masamune [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKJnnpQIH_c]

Resident Evil 2: The zombies banging on the glass of the diner, when you're first attacked by a licker

Dino Crisis: Fucking raptors jumping through glass

Dino Crisis 2: The clinc with the half rotten body. You inspect it and it says he was killed in his sleep. It just chilled me to the bone for some reason.

Final Fantasy 7: Barret's backstory. End of disk 1, of course.

Final Fantasy 9: Vivi and the black mages. Freya after you're defeated by Beatrix in Bermecia

Final Fantasy 10: The prelude, when Tidus finds out about Yuna's plans after she defeats Sin

Fatal Frame 2: Finding the camera obsecura

Kingdom Hearts: The ending and opening scenes were amazing

Vampire the Masquerade -Bloodlines: The Hotel level early in the game. That had to be one of the scariest parts of a game I've ever played

 

[Alpha1Niner]

My greatest moments in gaming are when I beat those pain in the butt challenges, namely IWBTG, Impossible Quiz, Perfect Dark Zero, and SSBB.

 

[Yingyangathena]

There are many:
When in Dark Cloud you build the giant robot and fight the Dark Genie.

When I first clicked to say 'Objection!!' in Ace Attorney.

Crash Bandicoot Warped, N-Gin boss battle, I was on 1% health and thought the explosion would kill me.

Just to name three...

The opening of Half Life 2.
The ending of Portal.
Stepping out of Vault 101 and seeing Capital Wasteland for the first time in Fallout 3.
Chucking asteroids at the city I built in Sim City 4.

 

[Smagmuck_]

Ghosts death in MW2. My friend and I were so upset about we came up with another reason to kill Sheperd, with Dioluge and everything. XD

MacTaverish: "Price Roach is down."
Price: "Well, is Ghost still alive?"
MacTaverish: Nope, he's gone too."
...
Price: "What the fuck!? They can kill Roach no problem, that guys was a dick anyway! Kill Ghost!? Now it's personal!"

They're so frightening in the art... yet so cute in SCI >.>

[The Austin]

The day I dueled Landon Ricketts..... And won.

 

[CheckD3]

The night I won like 14 free-for-all matches in a row on MW2...I'm an okay player, not bad, not great, maybe just above average at best, but I just wouldn't stop winning, after the first 2 I said "off to bed when I lose", 10 matches later I FINALLY go to sleep because it was about 4 hours later and the sun was on it's way up

Another, is one we all know, the excitement of opening a game you've been dying to play and starting up the loading screen...had so many of those moments
