No, that was from Heavy Rain. And yeah, about the MassKopikatsu said:

I was in a relic, a dying, nay dead city. I had stopped over for a night at the opera. And I left quite satisfied.
There was one problem: I was the star.
There was one problem: I was the star.
I traveled a stark desert with a person I had never met beforehand, and this same companion stayed by my side through an icy tundra and to a sunny, happy place in the clouds... We stood in white sand, looking upon the goal of our journey with heavy hearts. With a final goodbye in the shape of a drawn heart from us both in the sand, we made our final steps towards our destiny.
So, I walked into the office of my worst enemy. A man who had killed my friend's family right in front of him, in cold blood.
He went off on this big speech about choice, but I wasn't interested in that. I was interested in showing him the business end of my shotgun.
But... I couldn't kill him. Not because I didn't want to... but because I COULDN'T. And with his next revelation, everything that had happened up to that point became clear. And then he ORDERED me to kill him.

Hmm... because I have one that NO ONE will get EVER, I'll include two.
1. My friend who is a girl has been kidnapped by a bi-pedal mech and has been taken aboard a zeppelin. But, I can't even fly. No one can, but somehow someone made this giant zeppelin. So what do I do? I HELP BUILD A F!@#ING FLYING ROBOT TO GO TAKE THE CARTOONISHLY LARGE PLUG OUT OF THE BALLOON. But what of the leader of the evil organization? BOOM. IT WAS THE OTHER GIRL IN YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. Now you must chase her down a river that leads through the entire country to the sea. But halfway through BOOM. THE GIRL WASN'T THE REAL LEADER. THE REAL LEADER WAS A GUY WHO YOUR FRIEND THAT IS A GIRL WAS A CHILDHOOD FRIEND WITH. AND HE IS THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE COUNTRY (provided you didn't beat him previously). Now you must chase him the rest of the way to the sea while fighting him. There, he finally admits the reason for his aggression: HE HATED MACHINES BECAUSE THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY HE TRIED TO DESTROY LEFT HIS BROTHER TO DIE AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE HE WAS PUSHED IN FRONT OF THE CAR BY YOUR BEST FRIEND WHO WAS THE SON OF ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN THE COUNTRY.
2. (this is less for actual story and more because of the "duh" moment I had) I'm going through this game about fighting the CIA in latin america because they are developing some really advanced AI controlled robots. I'm in the menu, wondering "why are my rankings so low!? I'm going as fast as possible, rescuing everyone, and killing no one! And what is this sneaking suit for!? its so horrible at combat!" when I realize: "wait... sneaking suit... can't make noise... Can I run past everyone?" sure enough I could. After that I went back to the second (technically fourth) game in the series and absolutely WRECKED it.

Steambot Chronicles. The entire ending sequences. Oh how I wish I had a playstation 2 or an emulator could properly emulate it. Seriously, if you know of an emulator for this game please tell me.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. When I realized that mechanic I absolutely flipped out.
I'm guessing here:Echopunk said:A friend and I, with suitably masochistic tendencies, were playing a notoriously hard game on its notoriously hardest mode. We traded controllers at checkpoints, or reloads - whichever came first. We were doing okay until we got to the first boss. We couldn't make a dent for ten or eleven attempts, then I managed to get him down to half health and all that did was seem to tick him off. When it was my turn again, I somehow managed to defeat the boss without taking a single hit, or even allowing him to attack. My friend and I both had a realization at the same timeamn! We should have recorded that.
Or, that time I was working against a terrorist group within a certain city and decided to try using the sewer as an alternate entrance to their territory. A knew something was up when I spotted trip lasers, and computer controlled turrets, but pressed on anyway. Then came barrels of chemicals and a secret lab. It was the first game that anticipated my ADHD and explorer tendencies and actually PUT stuff in all the nooks and crannies I'd force my character to crawl into. If not my outright favorite game of all time, pretty damn close.
First one: Ninja Gaiden?
Second one: I'd be surprised if that wasn't Deus Ex

She had made it pretty clear last time that it wouldn't happen. Maybe another time, in another life, she said. But when I saw her again, I just couldn't help but be overwhelmed by feelings for her. I tell her this, and she is still hesitant, but I can't help myself. I tell her that times are different now, that she should just enjoy the moment. She looks sad for a second, but smiles and we kiss in front of the massive window looking out of my apartment. I did my waiting. I'm glad.
It was a fight against a giant mecha, all i had was a stinger missle launcher. I managed to put two and two together when i was 8 and blew the thing down into scrap. It slayed a cyborg Ninja, but it couldn't stop a man with a lock-on rocket launcher.
I was so goddamned proud of myself when i took that down although, when compared to other gaming challenges, it ain't much. Then again, i was 8 and i had cleared a game and found a hero that forged my childhood. I call that a serious win.

A battle against a god who has withered to a husk of his former glory only to realize that everything in the end was completely futile.

Red Dead Redemption?
I was playing a game, as a character with basic shield and sword at a low level, and went into an underground area for a quest, with a huge spiral staircase going very far down that was full of all sorts of nasties. I came across a particularly large enemy that, despite being underleveled and underequipped, I foolishly tried to take on. I jumped on its leg and and stabbed away until it fell all the way down with me still clinging on, thus killing it but letting me survive. At this point I turned to my friend and said "Did everybody see that? Because I will NOT be doing it again".
The following took place after an epic battle with the Big Bad that involves bullfighting, cover shooting, and an epic aerial dogfight. The allies I made through rescuing them repaid the favor by going all kamikaze on the Big Bad, and said Big Bad is finished off by an ultra-badass, godlike equivalent to my allies.
Killing a giant...being to save time partnered only with my favorite character in the game, knowing that if I succeed I'll disappear forever.
Granted, that was the POINT of the entire scene, but damn if it wasn't awesome.

Here are two that just stand out for me.
When I destroyed all the gangs in the city and found out the people I was working for were behind it all, just so they could turn the city into a totalitarian police state.
When I punched the literal manifestation of the creator god to death, but ended up dying in the process, just to get back at him for making my daughter cry.

Two separate games
An old sun goddess on her last legs finding that she still has at least one true disciple left after all, and that the number can only grow from there.
Shooting an arrow into a dragon's eye and watching as it cartwheels through the air and into the side of a mountain, leaving a huge impact crater.
