For me this is the crucial moment when Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2, finds out he has TB… What about you?
Jorge’s sacrifice in Halo Reach as you drift down into orbit
Reach has a few of these. My favorite is “Objective: Survive”
Thomas Was Alone. When you reach the Internet. I won’t spoil it, but that game is my favorite for a reason.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt chills from a videogame.
Probably my most memorable emotional videogaming experience comes from Mass Effect 1, which I played near release as a teenager and again just a year ago as an adult. Same reaction both times. I can’t help but swell with pride when Shepard becomes the first human Spectre.
Two times:
Planescape: Torment - >!“Don’t trust the skull”!<
the other one is, off course, Official Evo Moment #37
For me it was when talking to the Transcendent One…the line is forever burned into my brain: “Are they dead? Yes. Unlike you they have but one life…And they wasted it for your sake.”
Silent Hill 2 when Pyramid Head shows up for the first time
The intro to Homeworld 2 still gives me chills when the narrator starts talking about Makaan and that mentions many systems have fallen under his shadow. The combination of the music, voice over and visuals gets me every time. You feel the fear and oppression.
Good. That’s one less loose end.
As Starkiller, using the force to bring down a Star Destroyer in The Force Unleashed.
Torna’s destruction with Mythra completely losing it all.
The first time I left a planet and flew to another one in No Man’s Sky.
That was a really awesome. It was such a chore to get the ship into working condition the first time but was so satisfying to get out into space.
Spec Ops the Line White Phosphorus
I felt like such a piece of shit afterwards.
In Control, entering the Research sector still is one hell of a sight! That game is gorgeous.
Control is a great game, and the Ashtray maze was amazing. But I wouldn’t call the game gorgeous, it’s mainly all nondescript office interiors.
Baldur calmly pulling up to your front door
Borderlands 2, Tiny Tina dlc, “We gotta wait for Roland” and then the whole speech about “i know I KNOW”
In a joke game about dicks and explosions and guns that make fun of you, Tiny Tina handled loss in a way that was incredibly profound and deep.
When the happy facade drops it’s heartbreaking.
That DLC was amazing start to finish
original RE4 village atmosphere: the ganados are working in the village but you are aware about that there is something wrong in the village, I never forget that
