What the most memorable moment from any video game?
-
Aeris/aerith ff7
Kotor the big reveal
Halo when chief and arbiter team up
the remake makes that moment even more memorable.
-
RDR2, the horse scene.
RIP Coffee. Had I known, I’d have walked.
returning from guam.

Thank you for the rush and immense chill bumps friend🥲

That moment in Final Fantasy 7 when Sephiroth, um, drops in.
Gotta be up there.
Or in Deus Ex when, if you haven’t been paying attention (or just running through killing) the twist hits. I saw it coming but still. “That’s right JC. I’m [redacted].”
"I'll come back when it's all over"🫡 -

pwning and getting pwned by friends playing counterstrike dust 2 in the local cafe
I miss old CS so much

some old guy in a cave distributing wooden swords.
Which is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses.

Yeah, the game is designed in a way where your first encounter with a Reaper is probably going to be when you’re in a Seamoth. And you probably won’t have the electric shock module to shake the reaper off. It’s the best combo of “let the player potentially escape the attack” and “make the player feel completely powerless to fight back.” It’s also a great reminder that there is always a bigger fish, because the player usually feels pretty confident with cruising around after they build their first Seamoth.
I met the Reapers long before I had a Seamoth when I played
Terrifying game.

FFX The sending (amongst the reveal moment of the summoner's fate)

The name of the friggin' gnome in the original Kings Quest on the IBM PC. Turns out I had a version with a bug in it and a spelling error.

I don’t know why, but the King Zora Sliding scene has probably stuck with me the most. Not for being annoying or amazing, but because it has been the memory my brain has used to understand so many situations in life. Like the just impossible to avoid, watching paint dry boredom that infects so much of life.
Muh-weep Muh-weep Muh-weep

In Far Cry 3 when you kill Vaasby dropping the knife from one hand to the other. No music, nothing fancy, just a look of shock on Vaas' face.

The first zombie in Resident Evil.
That uuh... thing that happens to Aerith in Final Fantasy 7.
Max Payne 3 in the airport level when Tears by Health starts playing.
Leaving the vault in Fallout 3.
The end of season 1 of Telltale's Walking Dead.
Season 1 of TWD was the first video game to make me cry. And I actually bawled my eyes out, too. It was pretty dramatic.
-
Counterpoint: that first pipe you go down, that first music change...
Yeah, that's actually a really good one. That second theme is so dark and mysterious sounding.

Eric fucking Sparrow claiming credit for the chopper hop in T.H.U.G.
most hatable villain in any game, hands down
Absolute. Piece. Of. Trash. I don't think I'll ever forget that name.

I’m sure I could come up with so many, but these sprung to mind:
- The opera scene from FFVI
- Aerith and Sephiroth from FFVII
- The intro and ending of Transistor “Hey— Red— We’re not going to get away with this, are we?”
- Final showdown with Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Revengence
- Gustave and Lune argue about whether to continue the mission in Expedition 33. “When one falls, we continue. Not if, when!”

Dude yes! I had an idea to play those in my car when I met up with a friend interstate, but I then decided to do something that was higher effort, and I made my own mock radio station where I was the host, heavily inspired by the VC radio stations
It started off completely normal with subtle hints (the station name was BSFM), and then started having odd songs play like Minecraft parodies, music from other games and small indie artists only we would know, and towards the end I did "talkback" interviewing all of our friends that were in on it, giving weird takes on bread of all things.
Pirate radio & Part15 radio
For a few months I experimented with extreme Part15. I had a big-ass antenna high on the roof (which is what made this a temporary hobby) and a deep solid ground contact. It was just slightly over legal in terms of wattage but managed to broadcast almost a mile -- including a school and some government offices.
That was like 15 years ago, when USA still had a little freedom. These days I'd be too afraid of ICE/Tulsi/Patel/Neom hauling me away in the night
