    I’ll never forget how awestruck I was the first time I exited Vault 101 in Fallout 3. As your eyes adjust to the light, you are greeted with this huge post-apocalyptic world to explore, and the effect is still as great today as it was the first time I experienced it back in 2008.

      if theres one thing i absolutely HATE about Fallout 3 is that theres no way to do the Return to Vault 101 questline and be welcomed back in the Vault at your leisure--for one thing its out of character for Amata, for another, its likely you helped Butch when leaving and he should also be sticking up for you

      I bought a 360 with FO3 saved onto it. I knew nothing about the game, and hadn't played a console since the ps2. I couldn't conceive of a game that was large enough to take place outside the vault. The whole lead up to actually leaving was just the most epic build of awestruck surprise. And then when it finally happened and I realised exactly how epic the game was going to be? I felt like a kid at Christmas who got their perfect present. I don't think anything is going to ever match that grandiose and unexpected moment for me ever again. The reason being that I am now aware of how much gaming has advanced. So it's difficult to surprise me now. With FO3 I felt like a caveman witnessing a UFO or something 😂

    That feeling of shock and awe at the scope of the game that I felt opening the world map after getting to the Siofra River in Elden Ring for the first time and realizing it was an entirely new, fully-built, underground area in this already massive open-world game reminded me of a very distinct similar experience from my childhood. It was the same feeling I got when I beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Gen 2 back in like 5th grade, and then suddenly they put me on a ship, I opened the map, and it's the literal entire Kanto region. Epic moments man.

      I find Dark Souls' world to be much more impressive than Elden Ring. The way they stacked the DS map was enthralling - you must climb higher and higher into the light, and also descend far down into the darkness. Elden Ring's map was big for apparently no other reason than TO BE BIG; it was mostly empty and only sparsely detailed.

    Deus Ex: Human revolution had many moments that had me losing my mind. the exploration of Detroit, above and below, and then half way through the game getting to Hengsha, and realizing I have another city to explore. along with the concept of human engineering crafting this massive city above another city. what a ride that game was.

    As a young teen when playing Ocarina of Time, when Gannondorf is defeated than transformed into true form Gannon. All you can see was this giant towering monstrous shadowy form and his glowing eyes. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and I don't think I could pick my jaw off the floor throughout the entire ending. As limited as the N64 was The lighting and the environment coupled with the music was pure art. Sure it seems primitive by today's standards but there was nothing even close to that moment at that time.

    You gotta add Nier Automata here. The first ending in itself is quite something, when the game goes back to the intro of the game and you start playing with 9S. But the second ending is the real kicker and where everything gets completely wild. The story keeps going, there are amazing plot twists and the stakes get higher than ever, and after some really tense action sequences, BAM a title card... and you feel like the last 2 playthroughs were just the intro. And THEN, after you finish it a third time you get that curveball of an existential ending. All of it is absolutely speechless really.

    • @quinnmarchese6313
      @quinnmarchese6313 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    And the thing with Titanfall 2 was that how underrated... or unknown its awesome campaign were.
    People just played mostly the multiplayer modes.
    That place where those houses were built was a great example of level making and innovation.
    Also that high speed level in the air where you get tossed forward by titan to new platforms etc... just great stuff.

      only somewhat related but i always like those "end of episode" screens you get at the end of choice based point and click games like Telltale's games and Life is Strange, where it shows you your choices and also how the rest of the player base chose during their playthroughs--its a really cool way to qualify your own choices in a game, while also making clear what choices to choose next time for a new experience.
      Also, the end screen of New Vegas where it summarizes your impact on all your companions, important NPCs, factions, and important locations.
