The greatest moment in games

[killer kirby]

have you ever felt Emotional in a part of any game like for example.
when Link does the final blow to Ganon, in Ocarina of Time
or,
when in final fantasy VII the part where Aries dies, or right at the end of the game of Final Fantasy VII.
and,
in Super Metroid when you fight Ridley and Mother Brain.

what is the part you really loved the most in any game?
just put down any of what you think is the greatest part in any games.

mine are the ones i gave up the top.

[Stocka]

In Skies of Arcadia where you get seperated from Drachma and Aika and co and you're on Crescent Island and keeping track of your diary etc.
That part is just so magical.

[kav82]

So many parts of so many games, the most recent, Wind Waker. When meeting the Deku tree and he starts speaking in ancient Hylian, seeing you as the Hero of Time!

Beautiful!


EDIT: I can't leave it at just that! lol

Ocarina of Time, watching the ending after defeating Ganon, I had a real sense of acheivement! such an amazing game!

Super Metroid, the Metroid (now adult) attacking Mother Brain, draining it of it's power then syhponing the gained enrgy into you so that you can defeat it!

[Helmsly]

The whole chase section on Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater. Its probably something I’ll never forget as well as the great music that added to the whole experience. The ending for that game was pretty emotional too.

Another gaming moment I’ll probably never forget was getting online for the first time on Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast. Seeing a lobby slowly fill up with everyone’s different characters and everyone talking to each other was just brilliant.

Also Link delivering the final blow to Gannon in Ocarina of Time is one of my favourite gaming moments too.

[Retro_Link]

The ending of Ocarina of Time accompanied by the fantastic music was an emotional moment; as was the whole of that game!

[Cheapshot]

When Chrono died in Chrono Trigger.

It utterly shocked me.

[Hero-of-Time]

The whole of Zelda OOT. I dont think that game will ever be matched for pure epicness. It wasnt really a game it was an experience.

Skies of Arcadia:when
Everyone turns up at the end in different ships to help Vyse
I was like HELL YEAH!

[EchoDesiato]

Being scared to death of the Redeads in OOT.

[Athriller]

In Metal Gear Solid, when 'Master Miller' reveals his true identity. Giggidy Giggidy! I get butterflies everytime.

[BlackMesa]

Crapping myself whenever I saw the Happy Mask Sales Man in MM.
When you find out Tingle is a unsuccessful porn-star.
Meeting Mantorok in Eternal Darkness.
And of course, when Link defeats Ganon in OoT.

[Cheapshot]

In Metal Gear Solid, when 'Master Miller' reveals his true identity. Giggidy Giggidy! I get butterflies everytime.

Forgot about that, brilliance it was.

[Charlie]

The ending on Zelda OOT. Awesome, to say the least.
Playing Goldeneye, the FPS to rule them all.

[Monopolyman]

The revelation in KotOR, and the twist in Jade Empire^^ You just have to love Bioware.

[Retro_Link]

Oh and in Resi 4 when...
Leon throws his knife through Salazars hand, pinning him to the wall!!!!It was such a "This is so cool! Bring it on!" sort of moment!

[Pit-Jr]

The best for me hands down has to be in Super Metroid when The baby Metroid goes ape shit on Mother Brain . The usually cold and calculating Samus becomes enraged.

Another is the finishing blow in Wind Waker, somehow more brutal than anything in Grand Theft Auto

Also the final level in Kid Icarus, when you realize the useless items you collected in the previous stages have transformed you into a total badass.

[Konfucius]

In OOT when you pull out the Master Sword and the Sage tells you that you are some years older now and when the young Deku tree tells you, that you are Hylian.
Metroid Fusion: when you get your normal suit back
Wind Waker: being in Hyrule
Lylat Wars (Starfox 64) when you meet you're father after defeating Andross
Starfox Adventure: When Fox gives a Starfox Team emblem to Tricky.

[JonSt]

hmm, my favourite moment is probably in star wars kotr, when after all that time you finally become a jedi and get your lightsaber.

[masaki86]

I have to agree; the hyrule in WW is a joy to explore, especially when it comes back to life.

[blumeanie.]

Playing the water temple in OOT, pure genius. The fading dark samus, at last. Jumping on the helicopter after beating alec treyvalian in oo agent. Replacing the master sword to the sound of the bells at the end, i wept. And collecting 120 dark souls to give them all back to legion , achievment.

[gaggle64]

Diving off the bridge in Ocarina of Time. The final cutscene in Starwing "This is Coneria - Pepper speaking: Congratulations, on a job well done!" The last twist in Links Awakening. The opening 5 mins of Goldeneye. The final boss battle in The Wind Waker. Winning the Poke-league in Pokemon Red/Blue. The Halo level title: "I could've been your daddy" The Matrix level in Conker's BFD. Getting your own base in Skies of Arcadia. Mike's tragic end in Resi4. And many more. Many, many more.

PS. I may have been slightly zealous with the spoiler tags, but I'd complete all the games mentioned before checking the spoiler if I were you. It's best that you experience them fresh.

When Chrono died in Chrono Trigger.

It utterly shocked me.

DAMNIT.
I KNEW i shouldn't have come into this thread. Now im fucking spoiled.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Those spoiler boxes are too tempting.
Ok cheapshot, put a serious warning there. Or say what game it is. Because i highlighted it just to see what game it was and i just ruined alot of the game for myself.

[Retro_Link]

I have to agree; the hyrule in WW is a joy to explore, especially when it comes back to life.
I didn't really like the WW Hyrule very much because it didn't resemble any part of OOT's Hyrule in any way; when surely it should have been the same, except in the new graphical style.

I didn't understand why!

[Hero-of-Time]

The only part of Hyrule in WW that got me fired up was when I entered the castle and they had trashed the Hero-of-Time statue....I took it personally!

Hehe don't worry, you don't know half of it. ;)

[Sprout]

One of the best moments in videogaming I had was with Super Mario World. Being told I was a SUPER PLAYER felt so special.

[Woz]

The ending to wind waker for me was the best ending ever, therefore my favourite moment. It was just awesome hearing the king of hyrule music being played on piano.

[The3rdChildren]

I suppose it goes without saying that this post will contain spoilers. Scroll down at your peril, spoiler freaks.

My greatest moments are as follows:

- Pretty much every cutscene in Ocarina of Time is remembered as a great moment, but I have to say the "dream" at the beginning stands out. Just the look of horror on Princess Zelda's face as she and Impa flee past Link. Send shivers down my spine.

- When Queen Gohma appears and roars with her title displaying. This for me was the scene early in the game that "sold" me. I think the title displays on all the bosses were very cool, and I hope they reappear in Twilight Princess as they were sadly missing from Wind Waker.

- Fantastic is the only word to describe the final battle in Ocarina of Time. I don't think anyone failed to basically shit themselves when that hulking mass of evil began to rise up with his huge spork things. The way he knocked the Master Sword away, it really made you feel like you were facing a hopeless battle against someone far stronger than you. Brilliance beyond brilliance.

-Any time a character speaks in Starfox.

-Playing the 2 player rampage mode in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Yeah, maybe it isn't epic or cinematically astounding, but it is an awful lot of fun.

-Finally coming up against Gary in Pokémon Red/Blue and battling against him to the dramatic ending music was really great.

-Super Mario World. First getting the feather and flying successfully. Amazing.

-Wind Waker. Seeing all the Sages in the Stained Glass Windows was brilliant.

-Pretty much playing ANY part of Resident Evil 4 was brilliant. Such fine graphics, controls, story and music really did leave you wanting more. Hopefully we'll get it.

-Playing Halo 2 online provided many of this generation's greatest gaming moments. I salute you, Halo 2 online.

-Goldeneye. Enough said.

-Super Mario 64: First running around outside the castle is a very fond gaming memory. I remember unwrapping my N64 after 12 on Christmas Eve and playing it for a little while, I was so amazed at what videogaming had accomplished.

-Beating the shit out of Sasuke in Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3 on GameCube (personal favourite).

I'm sure there are plenty more, but these instantly spring to mind.

I totally agree with you that the Gohma fight was awesome and yeah I really love the Boss names and info appearing on screen; it really sets the scene for the epic battle ahead!
Bring them back Nintendo!!!!!

Mario 64 was mindblowing for me! It was my first home console game I ever owned and I also got it for Christmas!!!
Magical!!!

[killer kirby]

i knew i forgot something i should have put up there (Spoilers) next to the heading

[Librarian]

fighting "The great Mighty Poo" in Conkers bad fur day.. i was so amazed and laughing.. the best use of music in any boss fight ever..
now that's what i call a bowl movement

Playing Shenmue for the first time, it's hard to describe it but when I was walking through Dobuita for the first time I actually felt like I was in Japan. Games don't get much more immersive than that. Amazing.

[CooInTheZoo]

When aries died, and we all cried for days
(final fantasy vii)

Wow awesome, I should be getting Shenmue I+II sometime soon, as i've always wanted to get into the series and have bought a 2nd hand dreamcast JUST for these games. I've won Shenmue 2nd hand but mint condition on ebay for just £11! but I need to validate my bloody ebay account first :angry:

You wont regret purchasing them well at least the first1 as I never got to play the 2nd. Most people will tell you that they are boring to play but its more of an experience than a game.

Good buy! I must have completed Shenmue countless times and Shenmue II on Dreamcast is so much better than the Xbox version, the voice-acting is Japanese (subtitled) it's voice-acting is so much more convincing and more suited to the game than Shenmue's english speaking. Xbox'ers got the crappy english robots and the graphics are pretty much identical unbelievibly. :heh:

If anyone wants a copy of Shenmue 2 Dreamcast there's one in Gamestation in Telford Town Centre if anyones' nearby which I doubt. :heh:

Just completed Shenmue II again, which made me remember another awesome gaming moment.

When Ryo finally meets Shenhua and are chatting while treking though the forest, and when you see the Shenmue tree, it's pretty darn magical.


Sega for the last time; give us Shenmue III, NOW! *sobs*.

[Dan Dare]

the first few mins of super metroid rank fairly high on all time greatness- i've never felt so utterly alone in a game before. its earie.

the opening to resi 4.
the house seige in resi 4
resi 4.
shadow link. i dont need to say anything else.
halo. the first few levels once you land on halo are priceless. utter, utter masterpieces of design. especially the silent chartographer.
the desert level on half life.
half life 2 when you get the gravity gun. soooooo good.

[kav82]

I tell ya one thing that I think is absolutely magic!

In The Minish Cap, the tune of the Ocarina of Wind is the tune from the Warp Flute from Super Mario Bros. 3!

What a beautiful little moment that was!

[Roostophe]

A lot of people have said my fav. gaming moments. But another one for me is the title screen on OOT. Such brilliant music.

The opening cutscene of Luigi's Mansion will always take me back to May 3rd, 2002.

In SOAL, when:
You get the Delphinus and you escape Valua again.
Near the end of SOAL when Soltis is raised, and everyone just arrives at Crescent Isle in their ships.You don't think of it much when Enrique arrives, but you sense something when Drachma appears, then, you'll shit yourself.
And also, when Belleza kills Galcian and the Elders destroy the shield around Soltis

In Shenmue, when you find the Phoenix Mirror, and that different version of the chime sends a shiver down my spine.

I'll also say when I completed Sonic 2.

Finally in Streets Of Rage 2 when you defeat the last boss.

[Hellfire]

I was going to do a thread like this a time ago, but I forgot heh. Anyway there are too many moments. The first time I played N64 with Mario 64, reading Peach's letter and then running along the castle path with the birds flying along with you. That was so... beautiful. The whole OoT was a giant great moment. From watching Navi fly, to meeting the Deku Tree. Sneaking around the castle, killing Ganon. Awesome game. Duke Numer 3D also sticks in my memory because of all the awesome catch phrases. Too many great moments to put here.
