What the most memorable moment from any video game?

Not going to look the same to everyone, but being scammed in runescape for the first time. I remember trusting someone taking me to their training spot in the wilderness to level up prayer, and got back stabbed

āItās dangerous to go alone. Take this.ā
I bet there are people out there who hate video games but recognize this line.

wrote last edited by [email protected]This is incredibly niche but in the Blue Planet mod for Freespace 2 you're on the losing side of a war for the whole campaign - your elite unit pulls off a bunch of small-scale clutch victories but overall things are not looking good. Near the end of the campaign there's an elaborate series of missions involving disabling a bunch of hostile ships, intercepting and manipulating distress comms, and otherwise setting up a trap for the opposite faction's command ship, the Carthage (culminating in a mission called, appropriately, "Delenda Est"). All the setup missions go smoothly, as does the first springing of the trap, but then
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
a counter-trap is sprung as soon as your forces are fully committed - another fleet's flagship and elite escorts who are supposed to be somewhere else warp in at murder range and start absolutely obliterating your people. The absolute dread as you realize almost nobody is getting out alive sticks with me.Edit: found a video for the voice-acted version

The first time a Reaper Leviathan attacks you in Subnautica.
The first time you launch a rocket in Factorio.
The first time you do a bunch of stuff in KSP.

And right before that, GLaDOS also says, "Well, this is the part where he kills us." Then the caption. Then the achievement pop. Then Wheatley says, "Hello! This is the part where I kill you."
He then fails to kill you.
The song that plays is called the part where he kills you as well

When does that happen? Iāve played through that game a couple of times but I donāt remember that reveal. Itās cool seeing someone mention it though! I feel like that game doesnāt get enough love but itās in my top 3 RPGs.

There are many for sure, but now that I thought about it a bit, the strongest has to be me booting up and logging into World of Warcraft for the first time. Gave me such sense of wonder. And the world opening up more and more with every zone...
It's beem years since I played it the last time but the game still sticks with me anyway.

Landing on the Mun was the first time I've ever jumped out of my chair and done a victory dance while gaming.
All of these are great picks. I'll add:
"It had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong."

The number of people that actually remember this line from playing the game, and those that just heard it are probably very different though. Not sure the distinction matters.

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.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Neither am I. It seems unique because itās actually become a tiny part of pop culture, which, to me, is what fits the definition of āmemorableā. Nobody cares about some old guy in a cave distributing wooden swords.

A certain sythe sweep near the end of Grim Fandango.
The dip in the river near the end of Bioshock Infinite.
Jumping into the thing near the end of Outer Wilds, and coming down where you come down going through what you go through.

Time to reach into that icebox for that cockatrice corpse, since pit traps aren't a thing there
