Seeing Carmine get his brains blasted out in the first Gears of War.
I could only smile as that annoying, faceless, cannon fodder got what he deserved.

Ratchet & Clank is full of these, to the point when Insomniac now start every level with the camera pulled way back!
Plus, any game Bethesda have so much as breathed on.

Playing ocarina of time, first time being let loose into the field. Good stuff. Metal gear solid 2 really wowed me when I played that game, the plot was bananas but it was so pretty...
Oh, and getting a backstab in team fortress 2, watching your oblivious enemy crumble to the ground, or, in an inspired moment of source shenanigans, sometimes they go flying halfway across the map.

Just about the entire game of Shadow of the Colossus. I am so looking forward to Last Guardian.
In HoI2 TRP mod, the Soviet bitter peace event when playing as Nazi Germany.

This. Also VATS headshots on Super Mutants and the ending cinematic of Diablo II. Good God was that game brilliantly atmospheric (minus the entirety of the second act, I thought the whole bright, spacious desert thing was a bit incongruous).
If you dug that, you should try Just Cause 2.Eagle Est1986 said:
My vote goes to taking in the view from any of the high peaks in that game.
Tied with that would be seeing a super mutant head explode in slo-mo from a killer VATS shot. Watching my wife play the other day, I'm still hypnotized by it.
yep, knowing that all, or many, of those corrupt politicians were evaporated by atomic fire makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.CJackson95 said:Fallout 3 was beautiful, but in a different way if you know what I meanSteinFaust said:

@ pokeball: especially after it was your last one, and it's a mon that you've been looking for all week.
lol btw, off topic:
can I officially be called a necromancer now? i just raised up like 4, year-old threads, and got them working again.
Well, I'm going old school and saying the first time I got to the Bloodmoon expansion in Morrowind and it started snowing. It is one of my favorite moments of gaming wandering around Solstheim with a gentle snow falling and the theme music at a full swell. Oblivion may use more bloom, but you just can't beat that.Chapper said:
First stepping foot outside in Oblivion
First sight of the Citadel in Mass Effct
Florence sprawling out in all directions around you in Assassin's Creed 2
First seeing rapture in Bioshock
Watching your troops trample the bodies of the enemy underfoot, persuing the remains of a far superior army which you have impossibly beaten off the battlefield
Watching the enemy get mowed down in Granary: Arena in TF2 when you get 3 good heavy-medic pairs going - they have nowhere to run
Mass Effect 2 - Lights illuminating the the Normandy SR2 for the first time.
Mass Effct 2 - The sequence between exiting the Omega 4 Relay and beginning the final battle with the Collectors
And so many more I can't think of - who says games aren't art?

Everything ever in Okami. Everything.
The top of the tallest tower in Assassin's Creed (in Acre).
The first time you see Rapture in Bioshock.
Pretty much every colossus in Shadow of the Colossus.
Looking into the distance from a cliff while holding Yorda's hand in Ico.
