A scene that definitely deserves a spot on this list is when Kratos gets the Blades of Chaos back in GoW 2018. Specifically, the part where Athena says "You cannot change. You will always be a monster." to which Kratos responds "I know. But I am your monster no longer.". I seriously got chills seeing this scene for the first time!
the tomb raider reboot from 2013, at the end where lara picks up a second pistol and begins unloading on the boss in her classic form lol fan service but a great one
That one mission in Far Cry 3 where Jason just picks up a flame thrower and burns a whole farm of weed is just so badass. The enemies running away from you in fear with that awesome Skrillex song playing in the background just makes it amazing.
The Ashtray Maze from Control. Blowing through fools with Old Gods of Asgard blaring in your ears as you travel in the ever-changing walls of the Oldest House. It makes you feel invincible and shows you what being the Director of the Oldest House actually means.
I was literally thinking the exact same thing when Falcon mentioned Alan Wake. Such an awesome sequence and a nice little Easter egg to link both games too. I hope they include it if they make a part 2 to this video.
The Halo 2 "give the Covenant back their bomb" sequence gave me chills the first time playing it. And it did it again when the anniversary edition came out. The updated graphics made it feel so much more intense. Great choice.
i would like to see the end mission of halo reach in part 2, 3 Spartans holding off an entire army of covenant and falling one by one until it is only you left fighting to the end
This is another cutscene rather than gameplay, but I love in Mass Effect 3 when the fleets arrive in force to fight the final battle at Earth. Watching your ship appear all alone for a half second, and then the music kicks in and suddenly THOUSANDS of ships are showing up after you. It really shows how huge the collected forces of the galaxy are, and makes you feel like such a badass for being the driving force behind all of it. Plus then you get to see 5 minutes or so of the biggest space battle in the series, and probably in most video games in general. It gets me pumped every time I watch or play it.
Ludwig the Holy Blade in Bloodborne!! That cutscene halfway through the fight is nothing short of a badass epic moment. The moonlight greatsword, the earth shattering soundtrack, Ludwig's conversation with the sword, the lore behind how he lost his mind becoming a monstrosity, etc. Goosebumps all over the shop.
That scene when BT goes down and you take his data core then drop it into a new mech and get BT back... Man I was ready to take on the world with BT at that point
I agree loved that titanfall mission... there to busy pausing broke back mountain to check a box and pick a random mission from red dumb repetition.. to put on the list.
My RDR2 badass moment is American Venom, the hike with John at the end of the game to finally take down Micah. Put on Arthur's hat, turn up the volume, and start obliterating bad guys on your way up the mountain with your strongest ammo and guns, without using deadeye to avoid interrupting the kick-ass music once it kicks in. It gives me chills every time.
my favourite is the one on guarma where you shoot the boats with cannons just because it’s so different from the normal gameplay, and the view from the top of the fort is incredible
The final boss of Dark Souls 3 turning out to be an amalgamation of all the souls of Lords that came before him. As his stance chances to reflect Gwen’s fighting style and you hear his theme music again after all those years. It stunned me.
When I think about Badass moments from video games, those I really love are the maze section from Control, with the Old Gods of Asgard song adding epicness to the moment, and the hole in Mars moment from Doom Eternal.
Worthy of mentioning on a future part 2: Ciri from The Witcher 3, basically any scene she's in (since her power level just keeps on growing until at the very end she's virtually unstoppable); but as a specific moment, or set of moments rather, I'll point at two scenes involving her and Caranthir - first, at the battle of Kaer Morhen where she comes to the rescue of Eskel; then later during the final battle with the Wild Hunt, getting her revenge and ultimately shattering his staff. Peak video game cinematography, always giving me goosebumps.
Defending kaer morhen was one of the most emotional and badass gaming moments where ever. Everybody coming together to protect Ciri not just for her sake but for Geralts gives me goosebumps everytime
For me one of the most unforgettable badass moments is fighting Olgierd in the DLC Hearts of Stone for the Witcher 3. It was a boss fight, and one thinks it's the end of the DLC, last Boss fight. In fact, it reveals that the DLC is just getting started. The fight is incredible, and music just for that fight is memorable, and the moment you notice this guy has superpowers you notice somethings off. Even more so when beating him. Oh yeah, and did i mention the fight is optional and you can miss it if you did not select the right dialogue options? Badass
Honestly that was the worst part of the game for me. Take off your nostalgia glasses and you will see how rushed they made that section. While you are trying to pull that Star Destroyer down, not only is it ineffective it was slow and on top of that you had a bunch of Tie fighters shooting at you.
The rock concert in Alan Wake is one of the most memorable moments in gaming hands down... just thinking about it gets me hyped AF and I'm not really one to loose myself to hype but it gets me... Asura's Wrath & Revengence as well... pure sauce
For me in DMC 5 is when vergil and dante killing demons and vergil says "don't say it" and then dante said "jackpot". The brothers pose is so badass and amazing.
The Heavenly Strike mission from Ghost of Tsushima will always be one for the books! Also there’s a ton of moments from the God Of War franchise. Defeating the dragon in the mountain was so dope.
My personal favorite badass moment was from Infamous second son, when Delsin Rowe beats Brooke Augustine using her own power and then says "yeah, I heard that hurts" to her. Which was the same the she said to him at the start of the game.
You can't make a list and leave out Middle Earth: Shadow of War. Remember when you , as Talion, return to Minas Morgal as a necromancer? There's also the scene earlier in the game where he defeats all his opponents in the arena and stakes his claim over the Minas Ithil.
The original "Darksiders." The final cinematic gave me and my friends goosebumps, with War holding up the Seventh Seal and saying, "No... Not alone." And then it focuses on the other Horsemen falling to Earth.
Yeah! It was clearly a throw back to the Alan Wake scene in the video. One of the greatest curve balls in gaming history too. I never expected that to happen when I entered the maze.
I really like the Braithwaite mission in all aspects. Badass walk. The reason for it. The whole big fuss and burning just to save a kid that becomes the final hero of the series
I love these moments! I always get goosebumps. I’m kinda shocked that there isn’t a god of war moments in this video but you’ll probably do that in like a part two
I was so happy to see the Alan Wake moment make the list. I just love the switch up from being terrified in survival horror to becoming a complete badass in a rock and light show. It’s what made the game for me.
Halo 2 was just plain crazy, filled with badass moments. Dual wielding, insane plot twists, the fact you could play as the arbiter, etc. My personal fav in the halo franchise apart from Infinite. My personal fav moment in halo 2 isn't when Chief returns the bomb, but rather the part where you get to take down the supergiant Scarab. Like the music, gameplay and cutscenes all fit together perfectly. Basically, it's what the bomb sequence would've been if it'd been playable.
I'm just glad they gave Infinite the spotlight it's deserved all these years. After that absurdly negative reaction to the trailer most fans have never even played Infinite and yet it has probably the best CoD single-player campaign ever made. It's filled with hype moments. Honestly you could make an entire list out of Asura's Wrath alone. I don't think I've been so consistently hyped and felt like a badass as I did with my time in that game. And it never got old, I replayed the stages over-and-over to get an S-ranking and it was just as fucking awesome the 50th time as it was the first.
Yes! GOT is one of the PS exclusives that doesn't get talked about enough it's over-shadowed by God of War and Spider-Man (those are still masterpieces but I think Ghost of Tsushima is just as good as them).
For me the most badass moment was in Far Cry 3's "Kicking the hornet's nest" mission, where you burn through a whole marijuana field and soldiers with a flamethrower while "Make it bun dem" by Skrillex is playing in the background. I never felt more powerful
Also that entrance at the end of Star Wars Jedi : Fallen Order (won’t spoil it if you haven’t played it but if you know you know) that entire section is one of the best moments in the game easily iconic.
It doesn’t have to be always a fight sequence. The scene where Kiryu says he would bury the entire Tojo clan is one the badass moment in all of gaming.
How Doom Eternal doesn’t make up half the list is beyond me. I would personally pick the opening cutscene to the final level of the last DLC, Immora. Seeing the armies getting ready for all out war was amazing. Another great pick is the Doom slayer riding the sentinel ship to The Dark lord’s tower and then jump off it and then grapple on to a pain elemental with the meathook and the land on the tower by slicing the throat of a Dread knight.
Exactly what I thought. For me it would be killing the icon of sin and walking away while the narrator says "you remain unbroken for your fight is eternal." Still gives me the chills.
In Ocarina of Time, when Navi joins you again after Ganon takes his final form saying "this time we fight together". Idk why but I always got chills from that. The level of comradery between the two of them was beautiful
I loved the Scene in Assassins Creed Odyssey where Cassandra/Alexios fight in a Warehouse and Brasidas turns up and they team up. The whole thing is just so great. No words needed, just fighting together like they always did it
Such a badass scene, especially if you play the mission during a night section of the game, it's just so much more badass with them back-lit only by torches and fire.
I'd add a moment from Brutal Legend, the escape from the Pleasure Tower to the sound of Through the Fire and Flames. It's an absolutely epic moment as you're driving through the crumbling tower and dodging stuff while that fantastic track plays.
Something I would mention is the Ghost of Yarikawa mission in Ghost of Tsushima, specifically after beating the boss and unlocking the Ghost Stance, that whole sequence was just so amazing!
My favorite scene is from Max Payne 3. Its last level. Even though the whole level is badass but there is a scene when Max manages to jump from train to another.
Deus ex human Revolution, farcry3, GTA San Andreas, assassin's creed 3, dying light and so much other amazing games are filled with badass moments like these that this can be made into a very long series and I am all up for it. Let's just appreciate this kind of things shall we. Great video.👍
Call of duty: Modern Warfare 3 final mission where Captain Price gears up with heavy armor to take on the bad guys single hand as a revenge for killing us(the protagonist we play as) gotta one of the most badass moment!!
My favorite badass moment is probably the end cutscenes from the paladin fight in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Dracula grabbing the cross, being unaffected, and then finishing the nuke prayer? Perfection.
A few picks for part 2: -playing Freebird for the first time in Guitar Hero 2. That was insane -Kerrigan fighting everyone at the same time during the last mission of Starcraft Brood War -the Derelect Citadel boss fight in Returnal
The most badass (or at least made me feel badass) moment that stands out to me is when you finally get the hang of the learning curve in Titanfall 2 and just go on tear through the random lobby. I'll never forget that feeling.
Alien Isolation- Playing as Ellen Ripley setting the Self-destruct sequence then trying to escape The Xenomorph and the Nostromo before it self-destructs is totally Badass!!
I played FFVII Remake recently because it came to Steam and the whole Midgar Expressway section was one of the best action set pieces I've ever experienced. Maybe not so much in the gameplay department but the music and presentation were just incredible.
Aww yeah! This is one of the best lists ya'll have done in a while! There's SO MANY badass moments in video games this list can go on for a long time! Pick any video game from any genre and you've got something you work with. Hell, even in Ocarina of Time when Ganondorf transformed into Ganon and you gotta fight him against without the master sword was a big moment for me on the n64! I hope to see a part 2 or 3 of this list soon!
Both, finding the Reservoir and fighting the Stalker during Warframe's The Second Dream quest, the finale of the Call of the Tempestarii quest and the big bossfight in the New War quest. Warframe has some really badass moment.
Nothing will ever be more bad ass to me than Arthur STILL kicking Micah’s ass in the final fight after helping John on the mountain. That scene will bring me to tears everytime. So many emotions as Arthur is fighting tooth and nail till the very end. And still managing to fuck Micah up even with the TB putting him on deaths door
My favorite was Legion Fusion in Astral Chain. It was one of the most fun video game moments for me. You're an 8ft tall roaring monster with six claws bigger than your arms, beating the ever loving crap out of your sibling, because it was literally the only way to even harm them. The climax of the fight is a clash where you two come together and start slashing at each other at more and more ridiculous speeds until you come out victorious with an uppercut. All set to the track "Dark Hero". I had a smile on my face the WHOLE time during that last stage of the mission.
Honorable mention: Saints Row The Third, when you're about to parachute down to the penthouse and POWER starts stirring up in the background and then fully kicks in when you leap from the helicopter, it sets the mood so well and makes you feel pretty damn badass and invincible.
Nothing is like experiencing that moment for the first time when saints row three first came out. I vividly remember my first time playing that mission, and trying to time the jump to a beat drop 😅
If you loved the scene in Halo 2, you should check out "the jump" from Dead Space 2. It was actually the only moment I thought of when I read the title of this video. I don't think I've felt more like a badass in anything since.
Don't forget Twilight Princess! When Link saves Colin after getting Epona back. Every time I watch that cutscene I get chills. Let's not forget that the edgy Link of Twilight Princess just makes the encounter all the better with his more gruff, angry voice.
lol sad how that's one of the most memorable events of god of war, look at any god of war before the 2018th one, especially 3 and you'll have your heart explode if that was exciting to you
@@s30n Ok buddy. I've seen gameplay and walkthroughs of the previous games. Even played the third one after the PS4 version. Not an expert on the games. I like this one. Quiet badassery. No yelling. Simple. involved.
@@thisguy7976 okay, I respect your opinion. I was talking in general how it's sad that people usually don't know about older God of Wars, which are truly "hidden" gems, but if you like the latest part in the series, that's cool too...
Honestly we can fill the top 10 with GoW moments, A scene that should be mentioned was when Kratos blew a whole into the throat of a lightning dragon, and just stands there menacingly, while the dead dragons flops to his feet… THE CHILLS!!!!
One of the most epic gaming moments for me was at the end of the gotg game and you hop into the final battle and the final countdown starts blasting. Truly an amazing moment
I think it’s pretty cool when you enter bullet-time (slo-mo) at the end of Botw and send an arrow into the eye of gannon (even if the ending is basically just target practice) it looks really cool
Mass Effect 1- when the alliance comes in to make the save against Sovereign (as paragon). 'It's the Alliance!' gets me every time. Idk. It feels epic. Also everything in Doom:Eternal... Especially the scene where the Doomguy walks through the space station full of humans who are all in fear and awe of him. So badass.
For me, some additional epic moments would be: When you unlock the Ghost ability and officially become The Ghost of Tsushima, when Kratos goes back for his blades in GOW, when you discover you were being manipulated in Bioshock/you're Zachary Comstock in Bioshock Infinite, when you discover you are made of mold in Resident Evil 8, the entire ending of The Last of Us & when Lilith floats the city in Borderlands 2.
I love the final fight against Balder in GoW. The way Kratos and Atreus are truly fighting as one after goin through so much in their journey. From the moment they’re free falling while Atreus shoots his arrows at Balder, to the part where they are taking turns throwing blows is just awesome. The whole thing just feels so badass and it gives me chills.
Finally, some love for Infinite Warfare. I loved that scene. It seriously was one of the best scenes of the game. Heck, the whole game is awesome. Too bad it was swept under. Thanks for shedding some light on it.
Some of my favorites come from Last of Us there’s so many iconic moments in that game and surprises!! Also BioShock Infinite also had some great moments!!
If you do a part 2, a must in my book is the last mission in Ace Combat 5 where it has you so hyped up by this late in the game as just these vengeful ghosts of an ace fighter squadron and you just strike fear in every enemy on the battlefield with a squadron of black fighter jets. Then to tie it all together, you fly through a subway tunnel and have to get out the other end of this tunnel that's a good 50 miles long while shooting down jets. Gets you hyped up every time and in my opinion a highlight of badass gaming moments!
If you make a part 2, I think the moment from Dead Space 2 where Isaac Clark gets rocketed towards the Sprawl having to dodge huge debris would be a worthy addition.
In my opinion nothing can top the airport shootout in Max Payne 3! It was so cool when the lyrics of that HEALTH track kicked in and you realized it was Max's dead family singing to him! It's truly one of the most underappreciated games made by Rockstar! Can't wait for those remakes of the first two games to come out especially now that Remedy is at the helm once again!
Max Payne 3 helped me quit smoking cigarettes and quit drinking. The story about how Max loses his loved ones and uncovers conspiracies throughout all of games, then becomes addicted to alcohol and pain killers, and then becomes sober is an incredible journey on its own. I started drinking socially in 2001 and then took a turn for the worst when my sister died in 2005. I know what Max's pain was like losing someone close to you, but drinking does not make dealing with loss any easier. P.S. If anyone who reads this is currently battling alcoholism and truly wants to quit, do not attempt to quit drinking cold turkey, as you would be more than likely to get a heart attack or stroke. With that, just measure how much you drink per day on average and gradually reduce the amount that you drink until you get down to nothing.
Recently played Guardians of the Galaxy, and gotta say the Final Countdown scene towards the end is on my personal top 10 badass moments in videogames.
A scene that definitely deserves a spot on this list is when Kratos gets the Blades of Chaos back in GoW 2018. Specifically, the part where Athena says "You cannot change. You will always be a monster." to which Kratos responds "I know. But I am your monster no longer.". I seriously got chills seeing this scene for the first time!
same i was crying there, and that was my first true gow game (played ghost of sparta but nvm)
The fact there's no scene with Kratos is insane. Those are some of the most badass feeling games ever
the tomb raider reboot from 2013, at the end where lara picks up a second pistol and begins unloading on the boss in her classic form lol fan service but a great one
Did he say “it’s monsterin time”
I was very disappointed to see god of war 2018 wasn’t on this list I appreciate the mention my guy
That one mission in Far Cry 3 where Jason just picks up a flame thrower and burns a whole farm of weed is just so badass. The enemies running away from you in fear with that awesome Skrillex song playing in the background just makes it amazing.
There’s a lot of missions from far cry 3 that could have made the list. Killing Vaas while high as fuck is one of my all time favorites
@@nachibtalib102 I was gonna comment about that

“For a brick, he flew pretty good!”
Ghost of Tsushima’s Yarikawa mission where you get the ghost ability not being here is such a miss
When you chop the dude’s head off right? That was tight
Yes yes, then when u walk slowly towards the gate seeing all the Mongols turning around and running away in fear. Absolute badass moment
@@ayrio844 and one shot every person after “slaughtering” and decapitating the mongol leader

Yaaaaassssss. That was a culmination of a looot of hours. And it didn't dissapoint.
One of my favorite moments is in Resident Evil Village when Chris Redfield and his squad infiltrate the village at the end. Awesome as hell

That scene when BT goes down and you take his data core then drop it into a new mech and get BT back... Man I was ready to take on the world with BT at that point

When I think about Badass moments from video games, those I really love are the maze section from Control, with the Old Gods of Asgard song adding epicness to the moment, and the hole in Mars moment from Doom Eternal.
"You can't just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars." New Objective: Shoot a hole in Mars
Badass as well as comedic. Gotta love Doom.
The part from Control was Epic!
For me walking to the mansion scene in RDR2 is hands down the most badass video game scene ever. Such a cinematic masterpiece.
ohhh ...the music completes it for me....
If anything the simplicity of it is what makes it so real it feels like your there

How could I forget Force unleashed pulling down a star destroyer!! God that made me feel so powerful
One of the most underrated games of all time In everybody's opinion
What a game that was
Honestly that was the worst part of the game for me. Take off your nostalgia glasses and you will see how rushed they made that section. While you are trying to pull that Star Destroyer down, not only is it ineffective it was slow and on top of that you had a bunch of Tie fighters shooting at you.

Also that entrance at the end of Star Wars Jedi : Fallen Order (won’t spoil it if you haven’t played it but if you know you know) that entire section is one of the best moments in the game easily iconic.
I was so disappointed the game ended there
@@isaacmclean6259 yeah me to, at least we have survivor to look forward to
It doesn’t have to be always a fight sequence. The scene where Kiryu says he would bury the entire Tojo clan is one the badass moment in all of gaming.
How Doom Eternal doesn’t make up half the list is beyond me. I would personally pick the opening cutscene to the final level of the last DLC, Immora. Seeing the armies getting ready for all out war was amazing.
Another great pick is the Doom slayer riding the sentinel ship to The Dark lord’s tower and then jump off it and then grapple on to a pain elemental with the meathook and the land on the tower by slicing the throat of a Dread knight.
they think red dead redemtion was more bad ass.... lmao
Exactly what I thought. For me it would be killing the icon of sin and walking away while the narrator says "you remain unbroken for your fight is eternal." Still gives me the chills.
Because doom is arcade-y monster porn garbage
@@HereToWatchNotRead braithwright manner was epic, maybe the best sequence in the game. It deserves the list as much as Blowing a Hole in Mars
@@dcub6251 ☠️bro is oblivion npc irl
In Ocarina of Time, when Navi joins you again after Ganon takes his final form saying "this time we fight together". Idk why but I always got chills from that. The level of comradery between the two of them was beautiful
I love the scene in Dying Light where Crane kills Tahir, that quote was badass
Gameranx: Does not include GOW 3 in this video
Kratos: ZEUS!!
Facing the first Marauder in Doom Eternal on Nightmare. The music, the buildup, the battle. Yes do a part 2 please.
Fallen Order’s ending definitely deserves a mention; perhaps not so much bad ass moment for the main character but for the surprise villain.
Great to see the Infinite Warfare campaign get some love; it's so much fun.
The best cod campaign imo
@@bm-ye1jj couldn't agree more mate, I replay it fairly often tbh, it's just so damn entertaining!
@@FutureExitsMedia yeah it’s crazy how a cod campaign is one of the best sci-fis in gaming
@@bm-ye1jj and it's crazy how few people realise that fact!
I loved the Scene in Assassins Creed Odyssey where Cassandra/Alexios fight in a Warehouse and Brasidas turns up and they team up. The whole thing is just so great. No words needed, just fighting together like they always did it
Absolutely loved that scene such a badass moment
Such a badass scene, especially if you play the mission during a night section of the game, it's just so much more badass with them back-lit only by torches and fire.
@@madalice5134 oh gosh yes ^^ I am still soooo mad that you can't romance that guy.....well back to Allie it is ^^
I'd add a moment from Brutal Legend, the escape from the Pleasure Tower to the sound of Through the Fire and Flames. It's an absolutely epic moment as you're driving through the crumbling tower and dodging stuff while that fantastic track plays.
The final mission is also pretty sick
Something I would mention is the Ghost of Yarikawa mission in Ghost of Tsushima, specifically after beating the boss and unlocking the Ghost Stance, that whole sequence was just so amazing!
Many missions in Ghost Of Tsushima make you feel badass
Especially when you unlock Ghost Stance.
I think from beginning to end is badass lol. Mongol fear you
My favorite scene is from Max Payne 3. Its last level. Even though the whole level is badass but there is a scene when Max manages to jump from train to another.
Deus ex human Revolution, farcry3, GTA San Andreas, assassin's creed 3, dying light and so much other amazing games are filled with badass moments like these that this can be made into a very long series and I am all up for it. Let's just appreciate this kind of things shall we. Great video.👍
Far cry 3 ❤️🔥
Oh yeah for Far Cry 3.
Every doom game is filled with pure badass
Also every god of war
@@billybobchicken8769 hahaha, don't even speak about it because it's an unspoken truth.🤟
Call of duty: Modern Warfare 3 final mission where Captain Price gears up with heavy armor to take on the bad guys single hand as a revenge for killing us(the protagonist we play as) gotta one of the most badass moment!!
Half-Life 2, the supercharged gravity gun just makes you feel so powerful.
My favorite badass moment is probably the end cutscenes from the paladin fight in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Dracula grabbing the cross, being unaffected, and then finishing the nuke prayer? Perfection.
Kuze is still one of my favorite bosses in the entire Yakuza series, and I'm happy Yakuza is number 2 on the list
A few picks for part 2:
-playing Freebird for the first time in Guitar Hero 2. That was insane
-Kerrigan fighting everyone at the same time during the last mission of Starcraft Brood War
-the Derelect Citadel boss fight in Returnal
Kratos vs Zeus at the end of God of War III was bad ass too
The most badass (or at least made me feel badass) moment that stands out to me is when you finally get the hang of the learning curve in Titanfall 2 and just go on tear through the random lobby. I'll never forget that feeling.
So nobody is gonna mention the moment Noble Team gets ambushed by the elites in Halo Reach?
😳🔥 amazing moment
Emile wrecking a few on the last level. "I'm ready! How bout you?"
DOOM 2016 + Eternal have some pretty badass moments
Alien Isolation- Playing as Ellen Ripley setting the Self-destruct sequence then trying to escape The Xenomorph and the Nostromo before it self-destructs is totally Badass!!
My personal favorite badass moment is Majima trying to save Makoto in Yakuza 0. Fighting through waves of enemies in a building was just awesome.
I played FFVII Remake recently because it came to Steam and the whole Midgar Expressway section was one of the best action set pieces I've ever experienced. Maybe not so much in the gameplay department but the music and presentation were just incredible.
Aww yeah! This is one of the best lists ya'll have done in a while! There's SO MANY badass moments in video games this list can go on for a long time! Pick any video game from any genre and you've got something you work with. Hell, even in Ocarina of Time when Ganondorf transformed into Ganon and you gotta fight him against without the master sword was a big moment for me on the n64! I hope to see a part 2 or 3 of this list soon!
Both, finding the Reservoir and fighting the Stalker during Warframe's The Second Dream quest, the finale of the Call of the Tempestarii quest and the big bossfight in the New War quest.
Warframe has some really badass moment.
Nothing will ever be more bad ass to me than Arthur STILL kicking Micah’s ass in the final fight after helping John on the mountain. That scene will bring me to tears everytime. So many emotions as Arthur is fighting tooth and nail till the very end. And still managing to fuck Micah up even with the TB putting him on deaths door
IT WAS A WELL DESERVED ASS KICKING! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MARSTON THAT GOT THE FIRST SHOT ON MICHAH! NOT DUTCH!
You definitely missed out on the airport scene from Max Payne 3. As soon as the music hits you knew nothing was stopping you from pushing forward.
My favorite was Legion Fusion in Astral Chain. It was one of the most fun video game moments for me. You're an 8ft tall roaring monster with six claws bigger than your arms, beating the ever loving crap out of your sibling, because it was literally the only way to even harm them. The climax of the fight is a clash where you two come together and start slashing at each other at more and more ridiculous speeds until you come out victorious with an uppercut. All set to the track "Dark Hero". I had a smile on my face the WHOLE time during that last stage of the mission.
My favorite badass moment is subtle:everytime you turn off comms while talking to the Council, in Mass Effect 1.
Honorable mention: Saints Row The Third, when you're about to parachute down to the penthouse and POWER starts stirring up in the background and then fully kicks in when you leap from the helicopter, it sets the mood so well and makes you feel pretty damn badass and invincible.
I was tryna think of a third moment and this was it. Tht shit was hard
One of my favorite game moments ever
Nothing is like experiencing that moment for the first time when saints row three first came out. I vividly remember my first time playing that mission, and trying to time the jump to a beat drop 😅
@@isaacmclean6259 ...Was so fun.
"Yeah i see a problem, there are people in my pool".
If you loved the scene in Halo 2, you should check out "the jump" from Dead Space 2. It was actually the only moment I thought of when I read the title of this video. I don't think I've felt more like a badass in anything since.
Not really a “badass” moment, but when you first step out of the vault in Fallout 3 is pretty memorable.
Escape from Vault 101 !
Imagine being trapped their for eternity
Don't forget Twilight Princess! When Link saves Colin after getting Epona back. Every time I watch that cutscene I get chills. Let's not forget that the edgy Link of Twilight Princess just makes the encounter all the better with his more gruff, angry voice.
Beating up the pope in AC2 is pretty badass
One of my all-time fave moments is in Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC where Wrex uses his own body weight to take down a shuttle.
Everything in red dead redemption 2 is bad ass!
I don't know about you guys but that Leon and Krauser knife fight in Resident Evil 4 was pretty badass to me!
Remake will be more badass
Great list. Kratos killing the "dragon" and not flinching when it falls before him never fails to get my blood pumping.
lol sad how that's one of the most memorable events of god of war, look at any god of war before the 2018th one, especially 3 and you'll have your heart explode if that was exciting to you
@@s30n Ok buddy.
I've seen gameplay and walkthroughs of the previous games. Even played the third one after the PS4 version. Not an expert on the games.
I like this one. Quiet badassery. No yelling. Simple. involved.
@@thisguy7976 okay, I respect your opinion. I was talking in general how it's sad that people usually don't know about older God of Wars, which are truly "hidden" gems, but if you like the latest part in the series, that's cool too...
Honestly we can fill the top 10 with GoW moments, A scene that should be mentioned was when Kratos blew a whole into the throat of a lightning dragon, and just stands there menacingly, while the dead dragons flops to his feet… THE CHILLS!!!!
You speak 100% truth
One of the most epic gaming moments for me was at the end of the gotg game and you hop into the final battle and the final countdown starts blasting. Truly an amazing moment
The whole game felt like a loveletter to people who loves 80s songs
It's vice city in space lmao
@@AhmadWahelsa definitely
That rdr2 moment was epic! It gets you every time with that great music while you're approaching the house. Loved it 😍
I think it’s pretty cool when you enter bullet-time (slo-mo) at the end of Botw and send an arrow into the eye of gannon (even if the ending is basically just target practice) it looks really cool
Mass Effect 1- when the alliance comes in to make the save against Sovereign (as paragon). 'It's the Alliance!' gets me every time. Idk. It feels epic.
Also everything in Doom:Eternal... Especially the scene where the Doomguy walks through the space station full of humans who are all in fear and awe of him. So badass.
Final Fantasy 6 world getting destroyed was amazing and unexpected
For me, some additional epic moments would be: When you unlock the Ghost ability and officially become The Ghost of Tsushima, when Kratos goes back for his blades in GOW, when you discover you were being manipulated in Bioshock/you're Zachary Comstock in Bioshock Infinite, when you discover you are made of mold in Resident Evil 8, the entire ending of The Last of Us & when Lilith floats the city in Borderlands 2.
Far Cry 5. All the Clutch Nixon stunts.
One of the most badass parts of a video game is the end of resident evil village. It is sick.
I love the final fight against Balder in GoW. The way Kratos and Atreus are truly fighting as one after goin through so much in their journey. From the moment they’re free falling while Atreus shoots his arrows at Balder, to the part where they are taking turns throwing blows is just awesome. The whole thing just feels so badass and it gives me chills.
Finally, some love for Infinite Warfare. I loved that scene. It seriously was one of the best scenes of the game. Heck, the whole game is awesome. Too bad it was swept under. Thanks for shedding some light on it.
Some of my favorites come from Last of Us there’s so many iconic moments in that game and surprises!! Also BioShock Infinite also had some great moments!!
I love when Joel tortures the two dudes then Ellie kills David
The dlc for bioshock infinite was amazing!
i can't recall any epic sequences, maybe the last mission but nothing else really.
i'm not saying there wasn't any cool moments just nothing epic
Darksiders 2 when fighting "the guardian" is among my most badass moments in gaming ever.
I disagree for rdr 2, last mission with john hunting down micah, walking with double sawed off shotguns with american venom playing is more badass
👍🏼
Braithwaite is more badass
"Ain't you got a habit of just showing up?"
"When I've got some to take care of, sure."
"Just you left is it?"
"Yeah... just me."
@@Nobodysurvivesevenonebit i disagree, it was badass as hell but for me final mission takes the cake
@@balsabozovic4510 sure. I respect your opinion.
If you do a part 2, a must in my book is the last mission in Ace Combat 5 where it has you so hyped up by this late in the game as just these vengeful ghosts of an ace fighter squadron and you just strike fear in every enemy on the battlefield with a squadron of black fighter jets. Then to tie it all together, you fly through a subway tunnel and have to get out the other end of this tunnel that's a good 50 miles long while shooting down jets. Gets you hyped up every time and in my opinion a highlight of badass gaming moments!
RD2 is truly one of the games ever made
If you make a part 2, I think the moment from Dead Space 2 where Isaac Clark gets rocketed towards the Sprawl having to dodge huge debris would be a worthy addition.
Please tell me there is a segment dedicated to Don't Fear The Reaper from Cyberpunk 2077.
I think Lee killing his way through the horde of walkers in episode 5 is my most badass moment.
If its badass,RDR2 gets the top spot hands down
In my opinion nothing can top the airport shootout in Max Payne 3!
It was so cool when the lyrics of that HEALTH track kicked in and you realized it was Max's dead family singing to him!
It's truly one of the most underappreciated games made by Rockstar! Can't wait for those remakes of the first two games to come out especially now that Remedy is at the helm once again!
Max Payne 3 helped me quit smoking cigarettes and quit drinking. The story about how Max loses his loved ones and uncovers conspiracies throughout all of games, then becomes addicted to alcohol and pain killers, and then becomes sober is an incredible journey on its own. I started drinking socially in 2001 and then took a turn for the worst when my sister died in 2005. I know what Max's pain was like losing someone close to you, but drinking does not make dealing with loss any easier.
P.S. If anyone who reads this is currently battling alcoholism and truly wants to quit, do not attempt to quit drinking cold turkey, as you would be more than likely to get a heart attack or stroke. With that, just measure how much you drink per day on average and gradually reduce the amount that you drink until you get down to nothing.
That part in Control when you are making your way through the maze. the music, the action....completely badass.
Recently played Guardians of the Galaxy, and gotta say the Final Countdown scene towards the end is on my personal top 10 badass moments in videogames.
The ending of the final quest in Elder Scrolls Online main quest line will be engraved in my mind forever & hooked me ever since.
