I recently completed Alan Wake 1 and it has such a badass set piece with the player surviving waves of enemies on a concert stage with music and pyrotechnics. It reminded me of the Left 4 Dead 2 Dark Carnival finale doing a similar scenario. What badass moments in games live on in your memory?
Everything past Janos Audron’s “death” in Soul Reaver 2, where you’re storming the Sarafan stronghold to retrieve his heart, are basically invincible, using the signature weapon of the game, and slaughtering your past-self and past-brothers.
And then all of it (almost) culminating in a completed time loop as you realize you were the spirit in the sword you’ve been weilding for the past two games.
