"You haven't even taken the safety off, rookie."

And every other scene from MGS.

Can't rank 'em.

Killing the Colossi. Just the searching for them. Climbing on them. Figuring out how I'm gonna bring them down with a little knife. Just the whole world immersed me completely.

Ocarina of Time. One of the earliest moments. Navi's annoying self comes in, wakes up the one boy without a fairy partner of his own and beings an sweet quest. I spent so much time trying to catch that giant fish. Even got that special sinking lure. Only got it to bite ONCE. And I wasn't ready for it and it released the lure before I knew what was what. Ugh.

Hearing Far Away and Compass play in Red Dead Redemption. A moment very cinematic and also immersive. The ending goes without saying. Didn't cry, but it made me feels.

Beating ME2. It's something ME3 failed to have. The Suicide Mission just felt right. All of it. Right pacing, right usage of choices. ME3 should've been delayed so they could flesh out the endings proper. Because ME2 beat it hands down and I felt so badass watching Shepard mow down Collector troop after troop. And the best thing is it's a game I had no compunctions about playing again and again.

Hear "Go Straight" in Streets of Rage 2 for the first time. I'd never played video games before. My parents had carefully isolated me from those for a good bit until I played it at a photographer's house with his son. From there I was hooked. Had to have one. This was the game that started it all. And thinking back it was mostly the music that did it.

Realizing how big and expansive the world in San Andreas was. I loved Vice City, but I spent so much time just fooling around doing stuff in San Andreas. I didn't beat the main story mode until maybe 6 months after I bought it. Though maybe that had more to do with that Zero mission where you had to fly the stupid toy bi-planes. I thought the mission was required to continue and I could never beat it until I got lucky.

Getting my first next gen system. N64 and wasting hours after hours playing Super Smash Bros. I was a FIEND with Link and Captain Falcon. I could hit anyone with a thrown item from anywhere. Accuracy was perfect.

The first God of War level. That hydra was a fun fight. And then how Kratos goes into its mouth, takes the key or whatever from the captain and lets him die? Had me rolling for how dark it was.

All of Uncharted 2 and 3. Especially running around in the roots of the Tree of Life and trying so hard to try and kill Zoran Lazarevic and the relief that came over me after the screen finally went black and into a cutscene.

Final Fantasy II/IV:

Palom and Parom turning themselves to stone to stop the compacting walls from crushing the group. Poor children! So noble at such a young age!

This one for me, too. That game had a lot of sad moments.

Re: Most Memorable Videogaming Moments

Most recently would be the ending of Red Dead Redemption when John Marston is gunned down.

Re: Most Memorable Videogaming Moments

I also remember beating Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari 2600 after sending away for what I can only imagine was the first "official game guide" ever made for a console game and watching the ending feeling ridiculously ripped off. First disappointing ending of many but memorable none the less...

Remember beating Kaboom! and taking a screenshot and sending it off for a patch for the game. Game companies just don't do things like that these days, and it's unfortunate as they really formed some fond memories for young gamers.

Re: Most Memorable Videogaming Moments

For me its beating Battletoads....man there were two levels where you needed to memorize where to time your jump and dodge walls....

Re: Most Memorable Videogaming Moments

Most shocking, or crappiest memory, would have been when I came home as a kid one day, found out the dog had been sick, and had diarrhea all over my Atari (was literally covered from side to side in dog poo). It was SO nasty, runny stuff that had dried up during the day and took forever to get it off and the smell really never went all the way away. It was amazing the console still worked though as it got in the slot (we took it apart to clean). Can't imagine any other console enduring that abuse and still being operational.

Beating Undertaker in the cage match on Wrestlemania 2000.

Re: Most Memorable Videogaming Moments

The ending of Wing Commander 4 will always be my most memorable moment of all time. Recently, the ending of Black Ops 2 was pretty damn epic. But back to Wing Commander 4 for a minute, the moment when your young pilot Cat Scratch died and the lady who had a crush on him was crying at the funeral, that was sad.

That hour long boss battle in Metal Gear Solid 3 was insane.

Too many moments to name in Mass Effect 2 and 3.

In Socom 3 I think when Boom Howser was found dead in this shack.

Pretty much any time a main character in a series dies.

I didn't even know beating Battletoads was possible...man the hours I spent trying though.

Re: Most Memorable Videogaming Moments

Have to go with the "A man chooses, a slave obeys" moment from Bioshock. One of the few video game storylines that actually wowed me and made me think they could make a film out of it.

I assume its the subway level on the hoverboards?

I agree with anyone that said the final battle in ME2. Just perfect. And made ME3 such a letdown that they couldn't improve on it.

Agree. Never saw it coming either.
