God of War 2 from PS2. The final battle with that music… it gaves me chills

Half Life going through the portal and the workers were just so docile.

I haven’t played it in a while so my memory might be hazy.

Near the beginning of Haunting Ground, Fiona comes across a statue or effigy of a pregnant woman. A voice over the intercom says “That will be you”.

Not many horror games will be straight-up go “You will be forced to have my child”. Very visceral and it made me shudder.

General Shepard’s betrayal…

Running into this mofo for the first time. My heart must’ve skipped a beat.

Final fantasy x, pretty much all of it

Far Cry 5’s moment when you’re captured by Jacob and Joseph tells you about his life before the cult

that was spoken in such a tone to the point where hairs stood up on my body as he explained in his way how fucked up and psychotic he was

Control, moving through the ashtray maze. One of my top gaming moments of all time.

Talos Principle’s ending.

!As you slowly uncover the “where/what/why” as to what’s going on, and you finally defy the coding through the end game’s final act of free-will and the entire game transitions to a cutscene of you waking up to a decayed, ancient-human world. The feeling of “I am the only one left and I carry the entire knowledge of humanity on my shoulders” was just a surreal moment, I actually shed a tear. (Talos Principle 2 talk ahead) Now, of course, way more is expanded in Talos Principle 2 where you’re not the only AI to exist as humanity is essentially being carried on by many other androids just like you. I have yet to play it and I’m very excited to, but that feeling at the end of the first game…. Damn…!<

Made me cry twice, you won’t get it if you haven’t played Yakuza 0, but basically this guy protected this girl the entire game (70 hours) and gave up his love at the end to protect her https://youtu.be/GzHRzWzrwZY?si=nAYjXmPwLESposdW

The Siege of Yarikawa in Ghost of Tsushima. The game really made you feel like you were trapped in a village under siege, but that moment when you unlock the Ghost Stance and turn the tide of the battle still gives me goosebumps. Seeing the Mongols turn tail and run, Jin rallying the villagers, and regular non-samurai chasing a Mongol army out of their home was EPIC.

Loading up Myst for the first time. What a time to be alive.

I’m going to share a few for you

1. Assassin’s creed 1: When you see Damascus for the first time ever, from a distance upon the mountain tops. The music creeps in, and then goes full force, you pull the reins on your horse as you gallop your way down the meandering pathways, leading into this enormous bustling city, bursting with life! Simply a masterpiece moment. The first truly next gen game made of that era.

2. Red dead redemption 2: I agree, when the tuberculosis reveal happens, and then you watch yourself slowly degrade. I can’t think of a single game where you’re given a diagnosis that you’re going to die and then you watch yourself die. I think it speaks volumes on how life can be short and it was done in a very realistic way in terms of how fast the disease progresses.

3. Modern warfare 2 (Xbox 360): Just being thrown into this amazing world of multiplayer and customization and freedom and kill streaks and weapon and iconic moments on YouTube that have lived on there forever, AND IT WAS ALL TOO GOOD TO BE REAL. But alas, I lived it, and so did many others, it’s all that matters.

4. Assassin’s creed origins: just the entire world design gave me shivers, it was like playing assassin’s creed 1 again and being lost in this beautiful rendition of Egypt, and everything had purpose.

5. Bloodborne: The spiders.
