What the most memorable moment from any video game?

Good or bad honestly
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

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

I'm gonna go with a moment from Final Fantasy XIV.

Where's everyone going? Bingo?

The entire ending of portal 2.
::: spoiler spoiler
From the part where he kills you all the way up to leaving the enrichment centre. It's all done so well and it made me realise this time there was no fakeout, this was actually goodbye and we will never get a portal 3, not with Chell at least.

Reaching the peak of celeste was an incredible moment for me and the summit chapter is such a good "final" gauntlet. I've gone on to beat everything but farewell and the entire game is so well made.

When the shields on the Arsenal Bird go down in Ace Combat 7. Just the way the music swells and everything.
I was screaming and cheering. Just felt invincible in my beloved F-15E.

Learning about Revan in KOTOR 1.

The ending of "A Plague Tale: Requiem".

Would you kindly..
What makes thela5 work so well is that the twist works because of the format.
It wasn't mind control of the main character. It was mind control on the person holding the controller, and it WORKED.

Lives, all mortal lives, expire
Souls go to their doom in flame
ForevermoreThere are great examples in this thread of great games from years past. But from more recent games, everyone who has played BG3 to its close (or near it) will likely agree with me. It was an amazing buildup and amazing scene when it happened.
Fools. Fools! how hard you have fought.
Brave, brave... But it's all been for naught
True souls, who couldn't be bought.
Doomed.
Detected.
And caught.
