I’ll never forget crossing over into Mexico in Red Dead Redemption. Acoustic guitar kicks in, then you hear “Step in front of a runaway train. Just to feel alive again.” Goosebumps
Oh hell yea man, RDR is a juggernaut of a living breathing open world! I remember the first time I crossed into Mexico and thinking to myself “holy crap this map just goes forever!” RDR is also home to what I personally consider the best expansion ever with undead nightmare! Talk about DLC!
I was literally opening the app to make this same comment. That is one of the most stunning and impactful moments I've played in a long time.
that's my morning alarm because I heard it from that and just makes me smile.
@Female Doggy oh hell yea! Those were the best years in gaming in my opinion and it marks the end of an era, the era of “complete” and finished in development games.
My overtired brain read "crossing into Mexico in Animal Crossing", and for a second I wondered what the heck had happened. Then I read the sentence again and figured out it was just my last braincell abandoning ship. 😅
I will never forget the intro into Red Dead 2. Majority of games always place beautiful graphics into the cutscenes, but when you first get a glimpse of the world from the different views in the snowy mountain, and then the camera pans to you before you take control and realize this is the game you're going to be playing rather than a cutscene, it was AMAZING.
The game that actually took my breath away
I literally forgot I was holding a controller
The opening title sequence for Ghost of Tsushima where you ride out of the Forrest into to field and the music swells as Jin reaches down to touch the grass…very reminiscent of the emotion evoked from Assasins Creed 2s title sequence with Ezio and his brother. The power of music in video games 👌
that was such a "let's f'n gooooo" moment
Gotta be the most beautiful game I've ever played
That and demon souls the graphics were crazy in that too
For me, the Omaha beach level of Medal of Honour: Allied Assault on PC was, especially for 2002, utterly absorbing, stupidly intense, and one of the best things I've ever played to this day.
Was. Hoping to see that one being mentioned here, good times
the PC medal of honors weee intense for that time period and some authentic ww2 energy
Easily one of the greatest ww2 game moments to me. It was so intense. I miss the Medal of Honor games
I did NOT expect the helicopter jump from Tony Hawk Underground.. core memory unlocked! that was such a great game
It’s literally my favorite game
Never been big into tony hawk but man that part was memorable when I played as a kid.
eh! TBAG!!
EYYYY, WHAT UP TBAG!😁
Despite only riding your horse, Arthur’s last ride is one of the most incredible gameplay sequences I’ve ever experienced. Knowing he’s going to his death, Arthur reflects on everything he’s done and whether or not he’s a good man.
That and the song that plays gives me goosebumps every time
and when he thanks the horse😭 It hits harder if you stuck with one horse throughout the whole game
I have a recording where the moment got ruined due to the horse running up straight up a tree. However, after saddling up again, I got back into it and felt the beauty once more.
Love that, only the high honor version though. Feels most right with him.
@@riddlerecsful For sure man. Loved Icarus. My first horse name.
Battlefield 4, I remember seeing levolution for the very first time and that truly made me sit there and go "next gen is finally here" was such a cool idea and was executed very well throughout most of the maps, changing how you approached combat for the rest of the game after the event. The fact it happens all seamlessly too, such a shame they took steps backwards after 4.
How was that desert map I forget what it's called. Fkn darude sandstorm happens, then you can't see shit and you've gotten be more careful cos you literally can't see more than 10m and always bump into enemies. Ahhhh the good ole days
@@kissarmy7310 they should just remaster battlefield 3 and 4 as a definitive edition with both maps in the multiplayer, with battlefield 3 maps having new added levolution to match 4s maps. I'd rather that be Dice's next. Project over trying something new and falling on their faces again
@@kissarmy7310 “golf of oman “it was a bf3 map too
It’s a shame the franchise has gone backwards ever since.. they had the formula almost perfect I don’t understand
Big brain drain from Dice most likely from EA’s mismanagement. All the cool shit they created, yeah those guys left to make another studio and the new hires had to just keep going without their expertise.
The moment the Normandy was torn apart and you walk amongst floating debris, a view of the planet below, and Shepherd falling to the planet. That was intense.
I just started mass effect 2 for the first time ❤
The moment the T-Rex appeared in the original Tomb Raider. Totally unexpected. It was my first experience of a pure adrenaline rush from a video game. Epic.
This right here!
I still remember setting off the Nuclear warhead in Fallout 3. It was impressive and permanently removed the town of Megaton. That choice had impact and was definitely for your karma.
That scene of the nuke blowing up megaton amazed me back then. Will never forget that feeling
I remember in my first play through i did it just kind of out of greed at the time and afterward when they started sending bounty hunters after me for being a shithead i felt bad and changed my ways. Ended the game as a good guy 😂
Yep and totally worth it for the Tempany Tower Penthouse.
I just wanted to say this then i saw this comment !!!
I remember playing through this with a friend and the whole time we were like “no way they let us set it off”, then our jaws dropped.
The white phosphorus scene from Homefront still hits different to this day. Honestly the whole story for it did. Underrated as hell.
Homefront or Spec Ops: The Line?
Favorite thing about this channel is the fact they're always finding compelling video ideas and remembering games I grew up loving and playing. Keep it up guys you're the best
Glad you like them!
I remember playing for the first time the opening segment in Bioshock, back in 2007. Mind numblingly astonishing.
And, closer to this date, those lysergic moments in It Takes Two. Those who've played it know what I'm talking about.
To me, always seeing an airship coming down in Battlefield 1 just gives this feeling of epicness, whether you’re in the airship or witnessing it happen from the ground
Who cares this guy is uploading old ham
bringing those sucker's down with an AA gun was sooooo satisfying!!
Bruh, the feeling of it coming down over you and trying to run from it was epic as hell too, I wish they could incorporate all the levelution moments in the new game, those made messing with the map interesting
Everyone in the match stops shooting and looks up to see that beauty when it comes crashing down.
The airship falling is still my PlayStation banner picture after all these years
The ashtray maze from control is one of the most epic moments in video game history. Up until that moment the game has you on the ropes with tense encounters, but when you go into the ashtray maze and the old gods of Asgard song "take control" starts playing you finally realize you've got the skills and power to take control as the bad ass you are. The surreal environment shifts and changes around you in one of the most beautiful and creative levels ever built. It's truly awesome.
That ashtray maze in control is wild, for those who haven't played it. It feels like being in the mirror dimension out of Dr strange
I feel like every scene or battle with baldur in it is absolutely amazing, especially that long cutscene when baldur tries to take atreus from you, it's just so well done
Ragnarok bouta up its game fr 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah that first encounter with Baldur was a great intro into the game. I was totally invested at that point.
I can't be the only one who was absolutely blown away by the Ashtray Maze section of Control. One of the best gameplay moments in video games. Ever.
Most of that game blew me away.
Take... *control*
No one makes setpieces like Remedy. Most games put you on rails while something cool happens on screen, Remedy lets you loose and uses the game's mechanics to create setpieces. The Alan Wake concert was sooo good.
Underrated game & underrated comment !
I have played hundreds of games from every era and i can say that the Ashtray Maze was the best gaming experience i ve ever had. I clicked this video just to see if it was in here....
Launching down the hillside on horseback alongside your army as flaming debris and arrows rain down around you to literally START Ghost of Tsushima is my number 1. That "wait, am I controlling this?" moment as it happens and it is the first gameplay moment of the game. Absolute masterclass in moments, that game.
I remember the size of the Witcher 3 map really blowing me away. Also with the inclusion of all the various creatures, as well as endless amounts of lore and character progression.
The RDR2 gameplay is incredible but the ambushes are just brilliant at helping the immersion.
For me, it would be the first time I stepped into the Amusement Park in Nier:Automata. The feeling, the music, and all the wierd robots trying to mimic human blew me away. I almost cried for them during my second route.
Holy crap , yeah that was amazing.... or the part with the weird cult
for me it was the robots in the desert, "This can not continue"
overall the game is extremely deep and imo the ending of the game deserves top 1. with context, it's really hard not to get emotional while playing it
@@JohnJRanbo This. And the subsequent encounter was incredible, second only to the last 30 mins of the game.
SO HAPPY to see MGS3 at the top here. Possibly the greatest video game. There are mechanics in that game that no other game has ever replicated as well.
One gaming moment that never gets mentioned in these lists, that I've always thought was epic, was the Leviathan battle in FF15. The cutscene that leads into it, the battle music, and the fact that you're turned into, basically, a god, for this battle. That entire battle is just epicness
Too bad it was nothing like what was shown in the original E3 2013 gameplay reveal. Massive downgrade to the Altissia level.
no one cares weeb
What about ff7 even the remake, There is so many opportunities for crazy cutscenes from the original
Tons of jaw dropping moments in the Mass Effect trilogy. Sovereign's assault on the Citadel in ME1. Normandy ripped to shreds in the ME2 intro. Shadow Broker's lair. Reapers' arrival at Earth. Meeting Leviathan.
Agreed. ME2 and 3's opening sequences blew me away when they were released.
But, fighting the Reaper with the orbital strike of the whole fleet? Sure, it can be a pain if your timing is off, but man is it epic!
Yeah,managed to get the full fleet on my first playthrough, just seeing so many ships jumping in and launching a counter assault was beyond epic. The ending? We all know our opinions on that, but god the battle for Earth.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 That is one of my favorite moments in gaming history. Just seeing tiny little Shepard stand up against a giant Reaper, and kicking its ass. Absolutely epic
Suicide Misson? Hello? The best mission in video gaming?
The GOW3 intro with Kratos riding the Titans and then fighting Poseidon was breathtaking to me when I was 13 and still hits for me today. The scene also lines up with the ending of 2 frame for frame, and I thought that was pretty spectacular.
Love it
The scene in Medal of Honor (2010) where you are being ambushed in the little shack while begging for air support was one of the most mind blowing missions I ever played. I really felt the despair as their magazines were empty and the enemy closing in.
With a million fuckers coming down the mountain.
I love how in Bioshock Infinite, after you die, those two entities show up and talk to Booker. However if you pay attention, what they are doing is pulling another version of Booker from some different timeline and placing him in current one, so that Booker doesn't repeat the same mistake and dies. It's very neat detail to explain game mechanic (respawn and continue) with plot point. Also if you look even closer, behind them you can see crossed stick figures on the wall, which represent each Booker that has died (equal to the number of times you died in game).
I find amazing how much love MGS gets from the team. It is a testament to how epic the games were.
Too bad Konami couldn't give a fuck about quality, or their legacy, and were all too quick to shit on Kojima and the entire franchise in less than a nanosecond.
MGS is still in my top 3 franchises, and definitely with good reason. MGS3 is amazing on so many levels... I never get tired of playing it.
@@DalionHeartTTV there are some rumors of remasters
Only game I really play.
I literally cried at the end of Metal Gear Solid 3. It's so well written and plays so well. Easily my favorite of the series!
NGL...RDR2 had me teary eyed at the end...
That was the first game I ever cried to and it really made me realize how well written the story was that I fell in love with the series
Best moment in Red Dead was when Dutch and the gang walked up to that mansion in the foggy swamp under a moonlit night before that big gunfight. Just having everyone in a row with the moonbeams cutting through the fog made it so memorable. Still have it as a desktop wallpaper.
I always found the last fight with Raider and Solidus at the end of Metal Gear Solid 2 was one of my favourite moments in gaming!
The first time you reach Damascus in Assassin's Creed. Looking over the whole city as you ride in really gives you the sense that this is a lot bigger than you thought.
Right in the nostalgia. Crazy to think how long ago that was. I remember being just so floored by the systems in AC1 as a pre-teen.
To me, and from recent games, the most amazing gameplay moment I can think of was The Ashtray Maze in Control. As Jesse Faden sums up perfectly at the end of the level, "That was awesome". Killer music, killer surreal weird physics, frantic action...just perfect.
Ashtray gets a lot of attention, but how about the first time you go to Black Rock Quarry. That level design just blew my mind, my God, it was gorgeous!
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 Ashtray was kind of the perfect storm and clearly designed as such, with the song and all, but yeah, the Quarry was killer too. But hey, the whole game was awesome both visually and gameplay-wise. Love it.
Can't believe Control's Ashtray Maze wasn't on the list. I've been playing video games for over 40 years, and that has been the most immersive experience I've ever had. Amazing combination of gameplay and music to put you right into the action.
Take Control became one of my favorite songs, as many of the others in Control. "my dark disquiet" in the secret lab is also one of my favs, but the ashtray maze will always remain #1 for this Game
I'm guessing no one has mentioned the Witcher 3 because the whole thing is just an amazing cinematic spectacle. Specifically when Geralt, Lambert and Letho are defending Kaer Morgen, there's a cutscene when they are twirling their swords. It gave me the tingles 👍
The Control ashtray maze was mindblowing
Annoying asf too lol
In halo 3, when you first defend to the ark and the pelican doors open on the vast desert with the other arms in the background. The sheer scale, sense of the unknown, and feeling of dread knowing what the ark is still gets me all these years later.
The fight against Grigori in Dragon's Dogma was really exhausting but really mindblowing the 1st time. It felt like a cinematic fight with multiple stages.
Assassin's Creed 2 - when Minerva talks directly to Desmond through the animus. That was such an awesome moment.
Also, Assassin's Creed 3 - when Haytham says "May the father of understanding guide us" and we all collectively said "wait, what?" - Still one of my favorite twists ever
👍🏼
I have exactly the same thing hahaha. Those moments we're epic.
The gaming moment that really blew me away was the reveal of Jormundandr in God of War 2018. The sound design, the full reveal, the music all created such a massive wow moment for me.
That's completely a cutscene though
@@frozenfenix0 doesnt matter
@@frozenfenix0 they said moments, as in cutscenes included.
@@jakebrady7426 Yeah _gameplay_ moments. Even says it in the description, "no cutscenes here".
@@frozenfenix0 it's triggered by gameplay.
I know it's not spectacle, it's not AAA, but the moment that stands out most to me in all video games is - not to spoil anything - the cathartic character growth moment late in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The way it's conceptually integrated with the interactivity of gaming controls is an emotional release that could not be done in any other medium. Pure art.
Yeah there was definitely something in my eye when that happened
Honestly such an underrated game. Played it twice and it was even better the second time!
I was honestly shocked un those moments, I thought I won't press the other side of buttons anymore ...
The surreal environment shifts and changes around you in one of the most beautiful and creative levels ever built. It's truly awesome.
Nothing was crazier than seeing the Scarab come out on halo 3. Me and my friend was in absolute awe
The ending of Bioshock Infinite! I was stunned, when it ended, I loaded my save again and played one more time, because it was really perfect!
Such good memories with that ending. Crazy stuff.
Taking down a star destroyer using only the force, as Starkiller, is probably one of my favorite in game moments ever!
👍🏼
For sure an amazing moment!
You sir, have one the internet today.
@@dajmendz205 hey thanks man!
For me it has to be the ending sequence in Metal Gear Solid 2. Everything being revealed to Raiden about the mission's goal, AI talking about information control that is pretty much what we have now. I played this game for the first time not too long ago and I'm still amazed about it. The entire series is phenomenal
I’ll never forget the halo 2 cut scenes specifically halo 2 remastered when they give the arbiter his armor the music, sound effects, voice acting, graphics give the best cinematic scene in my opinion of the whole franchise
Lets appreciate all the good videos GAMERANX give us😌
😍
I swear you guys are bot
If there's a follow up i vote for the opening title card moment for Ghost of Tsushima. Easily the most visually stunning intro I've ever experienced! 😍
Great suggestion!
Also when Jin unlocks the Ghost Stance is a great gameplay moment!
This one actually moved me to tears.
absolutely, and the final battle in yarikawa!
Totally agree
The Hillcrest sequence (encounters and chase) in The Last of Us Part 2. Probably one of the greatest gameplay segments I've ever played.
Ghost of Tsushima's title card opening will always be one of the greatest openings in gaming history
I never played much Call of Duty but the Nuclear Bomb going off in front of you miles away in Modern Warfare was pretty epic and chilling to me
The intro sequence from the OG Borderlands game.
No Rest for the Wicked playing in the background while we’re introduced to the playable characters.
Really awesome.
Portal 2 has loads of moments that just can't be described in words. Huge facility, crumbling onto you, and sometimes there's only a slim escape chance. It's really fun and captivating.
Ryse was freaking great, hoping the support could be there for a second one
I have to say, It Takes Two managed to give me multiple wooow moments that I really wasn't expecting my first play through. Such a great game.
MGS3 goes down as one of my favorite games of all time. The entire MGS series just kept increasing in scope, fights got bigger and that much more memorable.
🤝
My fave of all time, I’m still hoping Konami give the rights back to hideo kojima so we can see another amazing game come our way
That ladder climb with the song. Still in my head from highschool
never played any of the MG games
Snake Eater still my favorite of the series!
God of war 2018 when Kratos and Atreus were on the boat and the world serpent came out of the water, then Kratos goes "Stay calm boy" and Atreus says "I am!". One of the most beautiful scenes in gaming.
One of the most memorable gaming moment for me was when I played fallout 3 for the first time as a teenager. Had never played any open world rpg prior to that. When you come out of the vault and first set eyes on the wastelands, knowing I could just go anywhere, just blew me away.
The last section of Hellblade when you’re running towards that giant monster with the whole world exploding around you then fighting to the end against those enemies…that was just spectacular af
All of Hellblade was spectacular af
That was such a creative game
Forward Unto Dawn coming down and landing in atmosphere in Halo 3 on The Ark followed by the tank sequence gets me every time. Not to mention being followed up by The Covenant. Perfect video game!
The Baldur fight from GOW was pretty unexpected but when Kratos retrieved his blades of chaos before going to hellheim.. I think the hair on my arms are still standing up
Yeah I spent hours on photo mode during that gameplay and it’s cutscenes. November can’t come soon enough for GoW Ragnarok, only reason I bought the PS5 really. Can’t wait to visit the other realms.
I really love Tomb Raider 2013! There were so many action scenes that just blew me away when I played it for the very first time 🤩 Very exciting.
The feeling of swinging down Manhattan in a sunset in Spiderman with raytracing on is quite amazing I must say.
👍
Pretty lame. My best my moment was in fallout4 when I faced 3 protectron and a deathclaw with only my 9mm and some vats.
@@zairomolino4074 #TryHard
@@zairomolino4074 man. Imagine being able to enjoy two things.
@@olaff4223 of I could do two things at once I would be president of the universe.
I absolutely loved Rise, and the gladiator mode was good too. For an xbox one release it was amazing. It was a really well put together game.
As someone who has played Hell Let Loose a fair amount recently, I agree. Those explosions, from either side of the battle, are something else. *Especially* when you're in a tank with your crew, and someone calls in airstrikes danger close or the enemy has an artillery battery aimed on your position. Strikes just the right amount of pant-pissing fear into you, but also just looks absolutely gorgeous...in a very bloody sort of way.
The Ashtray Maze sequence in Control. I go back and replay that scene every few months. The music, the pacing, the visuals, it's all just phenomenal. That whole game is underrated but it's still one of my faves.
true
Just played this game recently and it definitely became a top favorite of mine and that Maze was 🙌💯
I'd like to add the Ashtray Maze from Control. That immediately comes to my mind when I think about awesome game experiences that I've replayed a lot.
I don’t know if it’s been talked about before but a spectacular moment I had quite a lot back in Battlefield 1 was when everything in a multiplayer match lined up to perfectly immerse you.
Usually at the very beginning of a round as you spawn in on one side of No Man’s Land, then run alongside numerous allied infantry through the trenches and artillery-holes, seeing bombers soar overhead and level buildings in the distance, only to be promptly engaged by enemy fighters and get crash into the earth ahead of you, watching artillery shells fly past you and your squad mates as you avoid the walls of gunfire coming at you from zones, seeing the tanks drive up ahead of you firing their full barrage.
Small moments where everything is working in unison really made you feel like you were part of a large-scale epic war, and knowing that every single thing happening was directly because of someone else playing with you was astonishing
Battlefield 4 we will never forget! The Goat of the series.
Taking on the first Scarab in Halo 3 was insane.
I’ll never forget the first time I played Bioshock… man, that ‘Would You Kindly’ twist came out of NOwhere and really blew my mind. Been hard to top that ever since
The entire first God of War game was just a constant stream of epicness.
I totally agree with the Jedi Fallen Order pick, that game is still fresh in my head as I only finished it a few weeks ago. That scene with Vader was awesome. And the way they fake you out too by making you think you're actually going to fight him only for you to swing your lightsaber once and he just kicks your ass.
I played through ryse son of Rome a few months ago and it really surprised me. The story honestly was pretty dang good and the combat was a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend it
When people say today that it was underrated....it really was. I've played through that game maybe 5 times since it was released. No, it didn't have the depth of an Action RPG, and it was short, but man, what was there looked amazing and 'felt' just as amazing to play. Combat was really meaty. Like a Souls game but 3x as fast combat. Really wished there was a sequel. I'd pay full price for that one.
Genuinely I was surprised the plate over sector 7 falling in FF7R wasn't in this, as a kid playing the OG and seeing what I saw then, translated into this insane, scary, monstrous scene... God it blew me away in a very scary but also like awe striking way
No one ever mentions the drop pod sequence in Quake 4. You literally fly through the air and crash through a building. Its an awesome sequence
The final cutscene of the Destiny 2 Witch Queen campaign-the one with the Witness: OMFREAKINGGOODNESS
One of my personal favourite moment in video games comes at the start of horizon forbidden west. When aloy drop a space ship on to a pack of slitherfang. There’s something about that particular seen that is just so satisfying.
Can we also add when Dom Santiago sacrificed himself to save his friends in Gears of War 3. If you took the time to invest in the story, then you know that scene hit the "feels" so hard. Everything he had gone through, and the loss of his wife Maria, (having to put her down). I had tears running down my face. I had to put the game down and process what just happened.
Grown man not afraid to admit I teared up and my jaw dropped at that moment. That trilogy just did so much right.
I cried like a bitch man. I'll always hold the Gears of War franchise so close to my heart.
The whole Warthog driving sequence at the end of Halo 3 blew me away when I first played it
For me, the finale for Dark Carnival in L4D2. The fact that you were killing zombies while your own personal rock concert was playing felt like so insanely awesome to me when I played it as a kid, and even still does to this day.
Glad I found a commenter who shares the same love for the L4D2 finale. Grab that guitar EVERYTIME!
Alright, now lets get all these fireworks setup before they come rushing in! Love L4D!
The first time you see any gigantic enemy in VR is breathtaking. Fighting giant bosses on flat screen is impressive, but when you can actually feel the scope of how big an enemy is is just amazing.
Painkiller had some supersized bosses.
I will never forget the Strider fight in HL Alyx. Never have I ever experienced anything this epic
So hard to just do a top 10. One not mentioned at the top of my mind would be the Amusement Park in Nier: Automata is very memorable. The cinematics in the initial entrance, rollercoaster fight, and boss fight are just insane masterpiece in video games.
Something about the nostalgia is making me think back to how amazed I was seeing the first Fortnite live event. Sucks that the game went down a bad hill, but those were some of the most memorable times
Such a great video!! Nostalgia overload with THUG. Easily one of the best parts of the game. Like you said, the build up was everything up to that point. I remember playing and just being blown away!! I wish they’d remaster those games. Also, just playing Ocarina of time on the N64 for the first time. Absolutely stunning!
You guys mentioning Hell Let Loose just made my day! What an awesome game!
Fr, whenever I see a bombing run I simply stop and stare at how freaking awesome it is
The Ghost stance sequence in Ghost is definitely worth mentioning, but the final duel that takes place is perfect.
In Ghost of Tsushima between acts 1 and 2, when you’re riding your horse and the black bars slowly move the screen to a theater mode aspect ratio. For a game that is already cinematic, I was absolutely blown away with how beautiful that was
I feel this one is also underrated, it's the moment when you charge with your orc soldiers to conquer a fortress for first time, the shout from Talion to advance the assault gave me a goosebumps..
🦅 & Jake : the dynamic duo
Elden ring radahn was the coolest from soft boss ive ever fought. The buildup to the fight, the 2nd phase. It was the coolest shit ever!
HALO: Escaping the Pillar of Autumn while it is blowing up around you will forever give me chills
God of War intro always managed to impress me. Basically most of the intro of the franchise are epic.
For me surprisingly it’s the chase sequence from Ori and the blind forest. That level when you need to escape from the overflowing water in the big tree. That game just had amazing visuals and manages to get your palm sweating and heart pounding too!
Most recent game I played that had an impactful or a hit on the ol heart strings is Ghost of tsushima. Either Yurikos side quests with Sakai asking a question and slowly realizing what happened or the ending(spared) where you walk away, music picks up, fades to white, silence, and then a beautiful voice appears and credits roll with an amazing song. Straight loved it
The first time we saw every Colossus on Shadow of the Colossus is an insane moment
In Crysis 2, there's a sequence where Alcatraz steps up to the edge of a partially destroyed skyscraper. The game instructs the player to *Turn on Armor Mode* . After that, you just... jump! Instant goosebumps!
In Splinter cell Conviction, when Sam Fisher knows the truth about what happened to his daughter, the game gives us unlimited executes.
It makes it so bad ass as Sam exits the building especially if you are walking slowly picking off people like it is nothing compared to what he is feeling.
I think it was suitably awesome in Blacklist when you infiltrate the Site F bunker and then Sadiq reveals that you've been playing as Briggs the whole time, proving that he is becoming Sam's succesor through mentorship.
