Ending of metal gear solid 3 fuck that ost hits hard
The giraffes in TLOU.
The ending of Outer Wilds (not The Outer Worlds) is fucking phenomenal. Its one of the more emotionally evocative moments in anything I’ve ever played, and it fits so well with what the game’s about.
The fact that Kojima predicted what will be happening right now, it’s fucking mental. And it’s Really scary. Because we’re far past this point. We’re going to kill our species.
2009 general Shepard,need I say more?
“What a thrill….”
I only played MGS3 once but i can still clearly remember from years ago the rush I got watching snake climb a ladder quietly then finally hearing that line
Just wanted to say MGS2 is goat, love that game.
The beginning of Link’s Awakening on SNES. The grim music with the falling rain and the feeling of being in the dark about what’s going on in the world while you disobey your instructions and get out of bed. Really set up the rest of the game (and subsequent disobedience).
The original Metal Gear Solid for PS1 was my first real, “whoa, I was deceived by the bad guy just like the good guy was” plot twist. Was a really cool way to feel like you could somehow relate to a superhuman super-soldier.
The first time my Tomagotchi died as a kid :'( RIP Max
Playing FEAR, getting to the ladder, turning around to climb down, subsequently shitting myself for the next 20 years straight
A man chooses, a slave obeys
My first true lesson of life and death was as a child playing FF7. Aeris death actually kind of “hurt” me, as I hadn’t experienced much in the way of crushes or anything yet, it was my first RPG so I wasn’t used to actual “immersion” either. To this day the theme makes me sad just hearing it.
140.15 if you need Meryl’s codec code
I cried when sniper wolf shot meryl I was about 11 lol
From Disco Elysium
SUGGESTION – This was not about failure or success. This was always going to be horror.
I should not have suggested it, and you should not have listened to me.
“Do you feel like a hero yet?”
In Elden ring when I stumbled upon Nokron while exploring a forest
A long time ago, a human fell into the RUINS.
Injured by its fall, the human called out for help.
Final Fantasy 8. Everyone is sitting around talking about how Seifer got axed and Squall, a child soldier with memory loss, has a mental breakdown and screams, “I’LL NEVER BE A MEMORY” before running off. I just remember sitting with that and the level of fear he must have felt about slipping away from the collective consciousness of the universe. It’s one of my favorite moments in gaming.
Waking up in a jail cell in Deus Ex, then finding out just where that jail cell was…
“would you kindly” pops in my mind way too often. I loved metal gear but I’m not sure anything hit me like that.
Three.
That feeling of pure awesomeness when you jump off the final ramp in halo 3 wartog run and get to safety.
And the gut wrenching feeling of confusion and sadness when Sheppard betrays roach and ghost
And the pure feeling of wonder walking out the cave in botw to be greeted by hyrule. And realizing just how much freedom the game gives you when you unlock the glider and leave the great plateau.
Spec Ops: The Line. Realizing how easy it was for me to commit actual war crimes because a game told me to, while ignoring my allies telling me I was going too far, all because this system told me to. Honestly, I think it’s an even more effective version of “Would you kindly…”
The ending of subnautica, the first one
The oracle turret in portal 2 is great.
SOMA
*Despite everything, it’s still you.
Original Deus Ex – “some people just don’t know the dangers of indiscriminate surveillance”
So ahead of its time
Ending of Bioshock Infinite. You are the cause of all your own problems. What a (metaphor? Alogory? I’m sure someone will correct me) for my own life. And then to fix it all? To be completely unselfish and remove yourself from the equation. I sat on the edge of my bed for about 10 minutes after that ending just…..thinking.
“She said that to me once…about being a machine.”
FFXIV Shadowbringers, the cutscene between the final dungeon and the final trial. Specifically, the music drop. I don’t want to spoil anyone by accident, but if you know you know.
The ending of plaque tale requiem
I need scissors 61!
“Begin again” playing in the background as Christine bids us goodbye, and the courier leaves the Sierra Madre once and for all. It’s such a melancholic moment that I have never been able to replicate anywhere else – where you’re getting out of a literally hellhole, rich as fuck, yet somewhere inside, you’re sad that you are stepping out never to return.
Visiting Sovngarde for the first time. In the first play through, going to Sovngarde to defeat Alduin made me feel like my own ancestors were watching me play Skyrim. The music, the ethereal setting, teaming up with the heroes you’ve read about, it was an insane moment. I still play the OST of that sequence to recapture that moment every now and then.
“Raiden turn off the game console right now!” Came out of nowhere. That twist completely threw me off. I knew Campbell seemed off most of the game but i didnt expect the twist of him and rosemary being the metal gear AI the entire time
Current objective: survive
The white phosphorous bombing in *Spec Ops: The Line*.
For me it’s Miller’s Quote “ Why are we still here, just to suffer?”
For me it was getting the ending in the Witcher 3 where I hadn’t bothered to >!kill Radovid. !< I meant to do it, I didn’t think his plan of genocide should be tolerated, I just had my own family to worry about and stuff kept coming up and I told myself I’d go back and fight fascism later, that there would be time. And then suddenly I was in the end game and he had won and there were inquisitors on every street corner preaching hate, and all the minorities and sorceresses were dead or fled. I ignored fascism and then I was shocked to be living in a fascist regime. It literally changed how I approach politics in my real life – that good people doing nothing allows evil to win.
My change of opinion on Abby in TLOU2. Especially watching her on the beach. Pretty moving moment.
Kratos getting the Blades of Chaos in GoW (2018)
Meeting the Marauder in Doom eternal.
Scenes from a Marriage – Witcher 3
Everyone can win the game of Monopoly if no one buys any property. You circle around the board until you eventually have all of the banks money and the game ends because money serves no purpose.
“I guess… I’m afraid.”
This(and a few others) rdr2 cutscenes broke me in many ways.
The opening of Doom Eternal
The way he racks the shotgun is so powerful
The ending of Outer Wilds. One of the most beautiful series of moments in any game ever.
Uncharted 4 everything post Rave fight, Such melancholy.
Death Stranding final mission, BB’s theme still makes me sad.
Control, Ashtray Maze made me feel awesome like an old god.
Inazuma Eleven 3, Mark getting reunited with his grandpa gave me the feels
Cyberpunk 2077, every. Single. Ending gave me the feels man. So fuggin good.
Exoprimal final mission, storming the behemoth with some rando’s. Amazing.
Haven, made me feel every emotion for Yu and Kay. Love those 2 goofballs.
“Is it better to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort”- paarthunax.
i think about that a lot.
The first words 2B says in Nier Automata hit really hard. Especially after you beat the game and have all the context…
Also, the ending man, holy hell
This hits twice as hard after [this unreleased line](https://youtu.be/FkORvhfimzg?si=Vtg8OICwE7w9an1x) was found while data mining.
“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong”
Meeting Sovereign on Virmire.
