Your favorite moment in video gaming?

I don't know if a topic like this has been already created.But i wanted to ask you guys what is your favorite moment from gaming.

Mine is when i first played World of Warcraft so many years ago,that feel of a living world with adventure was so special and unique,to bad WoW is bad now for many reasons but that is unimportant.

My favorite moment in video gaming? Finally getting my hands on the full version of Doom when it was released way back when.

 

[Zanderat]

That's easy. The SE wilderness temple battle in Wizardry 8.

Revisiting the prison colony in Gothic 2 and exploring to see what changed.

Beating Lance in Pokmeon Yellow...Those were the days weren't they?

HYPERBEAM =

Revisiting the prison colony in Gothic 2 and exploring to see what changed.

Yep. Also visiting Jankendar for the fist time.

I'd have to say that my favorite moment in gaming is the end of Skyrim's story. Appearing on the Throat of the world will all the dragons flying around you is quite a sight to behold.

Another moment I absolutely loved was the ending of Darksiders. It simply gave me chills.

Oh, my Leliana... I always marry her (well, in DAO's fashion)
If to think about it, the first time I played DAO, the scene before the battle at Ostagar really moved me.

There are quite a lot.
Some that come quickly to my mind.

1- The sword duels in Monkey Island. It was absolutely genius. On the same note: the ending of Monkey Island 2... I was left so "WTF??", but I loved it!

2- Defeating the Morgruls for the first time in Reunion. After that the game was easy, but that first victory was quite an achievement...

3- The Casino levels in Sonic 2... God, how I loved that game!!

4- Finishing Starcraft. Probably the best RTS game to this day (IMO, at least).

5- More recently: when you talk to Sovereign for the first time in Mass Effect. It´s such a "Woah!" moment...

6- Discovering "the truth" in Bioshock! What a game!

And many, many more...

Chapter iv of the Witcher, from the opening cinematic with the drowned city floating above the waters, to the howling of a lone hound bidding me goodbye from the Ladies altar as the Order mobilises and the real world intrudes into that haven of peace. For a moment in his life Geralt thought of family, home and another way, he was just as much enchanted by that place as Alina, Celina or Adam.

Second place goes to the confrontation with Ravel in the Black Barbed Maze.

Third to Deionarra's sensory stone.

Anytime I beat a tough or memorable foe.

So for recent games, that includes

-Tiamat in Darksiders on Apocalyptic setting.
-The two Big Sisters stage from Bioshock 2.
-Stubborn Kid Farm in Far Cry 3 (only because I manage to set off a grenade near a herd of buffalo and it stampeded the guards ).
-Omega Supreme as Decepticons in Transformers WFC.
-The big ass gang shoot-out in Sleeping Dogs.

Non-combat related

-The meeting in Sovengarde in Skyrim.
-When Roche saves Geralt in TW2.

I think I have more of each, but I can't be bothered to remember.

-ME1 ending. Skip to 4:50, the very definition of epic in a game.

-Hard Reset shrimp thingie. Almost as epic as Harbinger clinging to the citadel:

-Diablo, final boss.

-TW2 Cedric scene. Vanilla version of course.

One of my favorite conversations in the game.

-TW1 ending. Didn't like it at first (believe it or not), but there's no denying the eerie awesomeness of the ice plain vision.

My two favorites I can think of would be:
1. The boss fight with Shiro at the end of Guild Wars: Factions. A very intense boss fight.
2. When Roche falls off the bridge during the siege of Vergen and pulls off the manliest fall ever.

I've thought long and hard on this. It's gotta be Mordins death in Mass Effect 3. The way he mumble-sings the song he sang in the second game. the lead up to it. Got it was just amazing! It almost made up for the terrible ending for me.... Almost...

Final Fantasy VI Kefka boss fight. In my opinion, no game up to this date had a better epic showdown (well the whole game was amazing, but you know...). And in this case, the word epic is not used loosely, it's my favorite game up until now. Skyrim had potential to beat it, but... well you played it, the game just failed in so many aspects. (That's not bashing on the game, just the mere fact that it had potential to beat FFVI in my favorite list makes it ok in my book)

TW3 from all reports it may be able to deliver, and I'm quite confident it will. But the question is, will it have that spice that FFVI had? We have yet to see.

The boss fight with Shiro at the end of Guild Wars: Factions. A very intense boss fight.

Haha, man, that's pretty cool. I did not think any MMO moments would enter into here. Factions was very cool as was Nightfall. The original Guild Wars series is still the only MMO I liked. It had such a weird single palyer feel to it to me. Such nice features too: Hard Mode, Titles for reaching an insane amount of xp without dying, great PvP, etc.

Another great moment for me: Beating Ornstein and Smough for the first time, as well as dragging me mangled body out of Sen's Fortress. Better yet, facing those two challenges as well as others in NG+ and with new characters in vanilla and realizing just how much you've improved.

 

[volsung]

the confrontation with Ravel in the Black Barbed Maze.

Absolutely. That one has got to be one of the most intense moments in computer games and curiously enough it is all WRITTEN! Whoever dares say text has no place in computer games, must play this game and especially this part.

Several sensory stones, as you said, were also memorable.

I would have to add the ending of TW1. What a marvelously crafted story. It has the markings of genius writing: it leaves you with more questions than answers.

And there plenty others, but mostly dealing with dusty old classic RPG's almost nobody here likes. Except Bloth and a few others.

EDIT: OK for example, this scene has haunted me since the first time I played BGII in 2001. You board a ship to get out of Brynnlaw Island after receiving a special payment from Gaelan. Up in the distance you see a ship approaching... only it is not touching the water, but instead floating over it. Soon enough it catches up with you and you are surrounded by Githyanki, which together with the Githzerai were and are still fascinating in my opinion. Why can't we have a cRPG set in Limbo? Oh and again, this is all written.

It was an awesome fight, I think I liked Factions the best, very awesome atomosphere. But one reason I enjoyed it so was because it was very story driven(I was always the 1/8 who never skipped cutscene). I've really been debating on GW2, but I don't really have anyone to play with, I hate just joining random guilds. That and I can't really play except on my off days due to work. :/

dusty old classic RPG's

Sounds like we need a thread, such as Suggest a Game, were we could all step into a a library-like setting and ask the experts for some golden info. There a lot of people here, who like me, were knee high to a grasshopper and just learning to read when these bad boys were made.
