Im not a big fan of horror, so I'm gonna go with the last Homicide mission of LA Noire, the dark, with a crazy guy shooting at you, it was pretty scary, at least for me
Rawest emotion you've felt during a game.

I'm going to third this. When I first saw it, there was such a mix of emotions. Pure terror when I first saw the turrets, complete bafflement as they started to play, a return to terror when I was elevated to the legion, and then...man tears were shed at the sheer beauty of that music. I can't describe it better than that.TheYellowCellPhone said:
The only other time I can recall ever feeling so strongly toward an ending was when I was a kid seeing the ending to SMRPG for the first time. At that age, not only was Smithy a challenge, but it was probably one of the first few games I had actually beaten, and seeing Geno return to star form...I don't know why, but I was bawling like crazy. I had my suspicions back then, I thought "I'm never going to see him again." Little did I know how freaking right I was...I MISS YOU GENO!!
Pure unadulterated rage when playing certain things. Mario Party, Pokemon, pretty much any fighting game (Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat that kind of thing). I don't rage often but when I do I rage hard.
Also there is a bit in the intro of Fallout where an american soldier executes a captured prisoner and then seems to luagh and wave at the camera. I'm not entirely sure why but I find that EXTREMELY unsettling everytime. I think it's that it shows that society at that time was completely ok with that kind of behaviour and that creeps me the hell out.

Fallout 3: I was aimlessly wandering the wasteland when I noticed someone running straight towards me. I readied my weapon but instead of attacking the man started talking to me. He told me that he had read the Wasteland Survival Guide and wanted to thank me personally for all the good that I had done by co-authoring it and how much it had made his life better. I continued wandering, head high and spirits soaring, when I noticed some flames off in the distance. Coming closer, I found the source: an enclave soldier wielding a flamer. I dispatched him and his cohorts fairly quickly, then noticed the charred corpses of two ghouls. One was a male, the other a female. Neither was armed. In a sudden, blinding rage, I turned to the body of the officer in charge, stripped her down and unloaded all the remaining flamer fuel into her. I then proceeded to hack off all her limbs and decapitate her, placing her head on top of the nearby comms array as a warning to any others who would come to destroy the peace of the citizens in MY wasteland for the simple fact that they weren't pretty.
Mother 3: I choked up a little at the end of Earthbound when Ness's party defeats Gigyas by calling upon you, the player's, power. I cried like a little girl when, after all that Lucas had gone through, all that I'd helped him through, I was cut off from his world by a black screen giving me the final 'thank you's and farewells from the cast. This game was truly a masterpiece and the most satisfying, loving, and heartrending ending to a series I've ever seen.
Majora's Mask: This one had so many moments; visiting Romani Ranch after "they" came, witnessing Anju and Kafei facing the end together, saving the little girl's father from his curse in Ikana Valley... The hardest for me, though, was the first time I visited Clock Town on the third day (coincidentally because I was doing the Anju and Kafei quest, as well as being the same time I saw the Romani Ranch incident). The bells ringing and the ground rumbling as a constant reminder of how dire things are, the moon taking up the whole sky, the city almost entirely evacuated, everyone left behind in a stupor as they await their deaths, the eerily peaceful music... I had to set the game down and go out for a bit to clear my head after that.

Never have I been in as much awe as the one time in Fallout in which I was traveling with a caravan consisting of at least seven or eight other people. We came into a random encounter with a super mutant who proceeded to crit everyone simultaneously with a mini gun burst, causing everyone in the party to explode into gibs.
I see that Ace Combat 05 was mentioned, but don't forget Ace Combat 04. For me, specifically the last mission. I thought that it was all over, that the game was over. And then, another mission briefing screen starts loading up. Confusion, disbelief, and then outright rejection of what was being asked of me. But...I did it. I beat it all the same. I can't really describe any of the feelings that go with that. But I've never felt so satisfied or happy to have finished a game before.
And there's nothing I've ever replayed as many times as AC04.
Oh, and let's not forget the, sorry, the FUCKING GLORIOUS SONG that accompanies the last mission.
As for the song itself:
LISTEN, LISTEN AND LOVE IT FOREVER.

It would have been a number of things previously (raging in Left 4 Dead 2/COD/CS:S/WoW/Bf3/generic FPS) but now it is only the indie game To The Moon. Seriously, it was crippling, a depth of sadness/happiness I didn't know a game could induce. http://freebirdgames.com/to_the_moon/ Buy it and play it and feel born anew!
Oh and various bits in FF VII/VIII

The Half-Life 2 - Episode 2 ending.
As it cues to the credits while still hearing Alyx in the background.

The most memorable one for me was the original homeworld. I have never heard of the game at that time and just started playing. I played it for a while, then mission 3 happened. I saw this:
I turned from a curious player to a Kushan commander with hatred and a thirst for vengeance to those who left Kharak burning.

I recently played through the first 2 Mass Effects again after buying them on PC so I could import the saves when I get Mass Effect 3, I was going for a perfect run which it was (everyone loyal, all upgrades etc) until at the end of the suicide mission when I found out just one person from the ground team didn't make it. Tali.
This ones already had a mention a couple of times.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent, I've never felt anything like the unbridled fear that I felt in the water part. If you've played it, you know why...
I had to stop half way through because I couldn't take it all in one go...

Resident Evil 2, Scenario B, every time T-90 smashed suddenly through a wall I would spasm with good old fashioned physical terror.
Watch it, man. The sensible thing to do when talking about story in relatively new games is this:RedBird said:
Sadness when the joker died at the end of arkham city. Oop, spoiler alert: THE JOKER DIES AT THE END OF ARKHAM CITY!!!
Take example from the others since you are new to the forums.
Mine would have to be Mike's death from RE4. I liked that dude so much for helping me with that helicopter cause I was low on ammo. And then that bastard Saddler came and RPGd him out of the sky. My emotion would have to be...
Rage. Pure, raw, unadultered rage. I wanted to go medieval on this guy's ass.
I've never been able to finish Shadow Of The Colossus because I feel so sorry for the Colossi, I'm serious.
I've also felt intense fear playing Amnesia The Dark Descent, every and any Fatal Frame game and the Penumbra series. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself.

I have to admit to being a grognard who loves the setting and fluff to the 'verse, but the passages in PlaneScape:Torment were simply so well-written and so deserving of their grandeur that I've yet to see their equal in any game I have played since.
I still remember feeling genuine emotion. Most games people think are high impact can't do that to me. I'd have to say the most intense part was the bittersweet farewells and utter, crushing acceptance of guilt in the best of the endings. The worst endings are dark beyond dark.
Nothing has come even close, and I'm normally just not emotionally affected by games.

Great game, and easily one of the best horror sequences I can think of. I can definitely see why that'd do it for a lot of folks.butternut said:
Rage. Pure and simple. Can't rememeber the game, it was a while ago, but wow. I rememeber being so. Angry. I threw my control at the wall, before screaming at the top of my voice.
I was pretty mad. I think it was somthing to do with doing somthing, that took ages, then dying. Then not being able to do it again. -_-
