The last time a game made you say "wow"

[Jynthor]

Skyrim, some areas are just absolutely stunning, even more so with mods.
The only one I can recall at the moment is seeing Sovngarde for the first time.

To look at:
Skyrim: Wow breath........taking

Story wise:
Mass Effect 3: There are so many wow moments in the game that I'm still enjoying them 9 months later!

Bastion I played it all the way through and thought wow this is the first game that made me cry... I think the reason it made me cry is because of the way that final choice gets in your head and the bit that happens before that as well

A runner up is Cthulhu saves the world, hilarious game

another runner up is Mass effect 3 I cried when thane my favourite character died

Spec Ops: The Line. The first game to ever make me actually drop my jaws in shock and go "wow..."

Seconded - even if i had spoiled myself a bit by reading some forum posts it was just "Wow". After finishing it i loaded the last save again and repeated it until i got all the endings. The whole game was a hell of a ride and finally there is a shooter deserving the term mature for it`s story not only the violence which is also just "wow" to me.

Thirded. Just seeing the aftermath of that scene showing you what you did. My jaw dropped. That is so under appreciated.

I think it's less "Wow" and more like "Ow-wow". Cause it hurts. Way too much.

Cause it's time for more lame puns, WoW made me "wow" a lot in the beginning. It has a big and wonderful world which is a pleasure to explore.

I would say that scene in the Walking Dead episode 5 when Lee is walking through the crowd of zombies with just the butcher's knife.

But sadly, it is beaten only by the part in Borderlands 2 when the Warrior awakens. That was pretty fucking awesome.

Fourth...ed..ded..ded

Was a great game for breaking the complacency of "Shoot this guy hes bad, your the super guy whos always right and is infallible, also is totally likeable." that games these days spew. Its nice to see a story not a Chuck Norris's little brother the game. Could really use more titles like Spec ops: The line.

Assuming you mean "Wow" in a positive sense. It has been a long time, over a decade. As such, I can't even recall the last time.

Fable 3, I got it the other day in the steam sale and I said "Wow, what the hell were these people thinking? I can't even say the game is a lazy cash grab because a straight copy of Fable 2 would have been better, they must have worked REALLY HARD to make this game so bad"
