When you first walk out of the shrine of resurrection in Zelda Breath of the Wild and view over the landscape
I’m old. I was thinking in ocarina of time enteric Hyrule Field for the first time 😅
I was thinking link to the past… Lol
Bioshock’s big twist was so well done. I still think about that one a lot especially in games where there’s no explanation for why you’re doing a mission.
“A man chooses… a slave obeys…”
I just wish they’d used actual clips from the game, instead of recording new dialogue of…
BioShock 1 spoilers
Atlas literally saying “Now, would you kindly do this? Would you kindly do that?”
Really, really takes me out of the moment every time. 😬
“It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this.”
I bet there are people out there who hate video games but recognize this line.
The number of people that actually remember this line from playing the game, and those that just heard it are probably very different though. Not sure the distinction matters.
Neither am I. It seems unique because it’s actually become a tiny part of pop culture, which, to me, is what fits the definition of “memorable”. Nobody cares about some old guy in a cave distributing wooden swords.

Which is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses.
I’m gonna give this one the top moment because while I only ever played like ten minutes of the original Zelda games, this scene is pretty clear in my head, and very few other moments in gaming are as clear
Thank you for the rush and immense chill bumps friend🥲
The first time a Reaper Leviathan attacks you in Subnautica.
The first time you launch a rocket in Factorio.
The first time you do a bunch of stuff in KSP.
Landing on the Mun was the first time I’ve ever jumped out of my chair and done a victory dance while gaming.
All of these are great picks. I’ll add:
“It had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong.”
Can’t remember which edition of Fallout it was, but my first Deathclaw encounter was almost as scary as the Reaper Leviathan. But RL still wins.
That first goomba in world 1-1
Counterpoint: that first pipe you go down, that first music change…
Yeah, that’s actually a really good one. That second theme is so dark and mysterious sounding.

Hmm, there are quite a few of those, I think. Let’s see.
Bioshock reveal. A man chooses, a slave obeys.
First time talking to Sovereign in Mass Effect, oh and the ending sequences from going through the Conduit and Sovereign attacking the Citadel, the Alliance fleet coming through. The cinematics and music were just so well done.
D:OS2, fighting Alexander when Battle for Divinity starts playing. Or the end fight, with Sins and Gods. The soundtrack was a delight.
The Witcher 3, the first time you arrive in Skellige, the landscape and the music, it just made me feel these things, it was beautiful.
The Deep Roads in Dragon Age:Origins, when Hespith starts reciting her poem and the Broodmother afterwards. Oh dear lord, I still remember the first time I was there, it was so fucking creepy. “First day they come and catch everyone.” Truly superb.
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, when you’re forced to flee Skalitz, but you’re so incredibly noob that you can barely ride a horse, and you realize this game is different from many others, because you’re really just a nobody without any skills - and you’ll stay a nobody, pretty much. This entire game was a joy to me.
There are also some games that are entire masterpieces, where I can’t really pick a single moment but the entire game would count, for example Disco Elysium, a true masterpiece. This game made me experience the entire rainbow of human emotions. Another example would be Deus Ex, which to me will never get old, however bad the graphics might be.
Let’s stop here, before this turns into simply a list of my favorite games. :D
Tiny me playing Zelda OOT when it released - in the days before guides were really a thing, so my dumb ass just had to figure it all out on my own.
Anyway, first 3D game I’d played - before that it was just some SNES and the original GameBoy cinder-block… and I was pretty much at the lowest end of that game’s target audience, so tiny me was struggling to progress. Finally finish the Deku Tree after, idk a few weeks or so, which is about how long it normally took me to finish a game, so I thought that was it.
Cool! Well that was fun! All that’s left is to escape the forest and that’s a wrap! …what’s this chick on about with the ocarina?? Oh yeah, that’s the name of the game, I got the thing! Woo! Okay, through that next log, and surely the credits will start to roll… oh, I’m still in control of my character. Weird. OMG STFU YOU GODDAMNED OWL YOU’VE BEEN TALKING FOR LIKE AN HOUR!
And then the moment: taking my first steps into Hyrule field and seeing all the paths shooting off from it. Realized the was in fact not over, but had barely started.
Mind. Blown.
Playing OOT for the first time was pure joy.
Hey, you’re finally awake.
That time I was playing Quake and I said ‘I’m cocked, locked and ready to rock’ and someone else said “You shouldn’t lock your cock. Cocks should be free!”
It technically happened in a video game and I will never forget it.
But also getting Strogified in Quake 4.
Not during locktober they’re not
Quake 4
The Space Marines being subjected to scientific experiments: “It hurts”
That still gives me nightmares
Would you kindly…
What makes thela5 work so well is that the twist works because of the format.
It wasn’t mind control of the main character. It was mind control on the person holding the controller, and it WORKED.

I miss old CS so much
Rise and shine Mr Freeman. Rise and shine
LAN party 2012ish. Playing Farcry 2 team Deathmatch multiplayer on the Clear Cut map. First team to 100 kills win. I got 60 of the 100 kills to win and from that point forward I was no longer permitted to use the 50cal sniper rifle.
The cake is a lie
