Shocking Videogame Moments

[Blabj]

Call of duty 4

Spoiler: show

Every time I'm playing online and I'm walking through a door just as some fucker on the other team is walking through it and shoots me point blank in the face while I have my headphones on. Jesus christ I shit actual bricks.

MGS4

Spoiler: show

The final cutscene. IS HE DEAD?! IS HE ALIVE?! I DON'T KNOW!! OMG I NEED TO KNOW!!!

Resident Evil

Spoiler: show

Every moment of every game, I'm a pussy for scares.

[shidobu]

Silent Hill 2 (was 14 when i played this mindfucked 4life)

Spoiler: show

Jack watches the tape and realizes he killed his wife hes trying to find!

Dead Space (the whole damn game)

Spoiler: show

Isaac Clarke dead/ghost girlfriend attacks him at the end!

[Phalanx]

I thought the most shocking part was

Spoiler: show

when the nuke goes off and everything gets fucked up, then your character's helicopter goes down and crashes. Then he crawls out of the wreckage and slowly dies while everything is slowly burning up.

Fuckin' epic.

Also, gonna have to second the ending to MGS3. It's possibly the most beautiful ending ever and the salute at the end is the most tear jerking moment in a videogame (for me at least).

I think it was one of the best scene in gaming history. How "Boss" made us all think that she was bad but turned out to be good and wanting Snake to kill her. Reminds me of the same idea of Itachi and Sasuke in the Naruto series.

[Blabj]

To be honest, most of Metal Gear Solid 3 made no sense to me, I sat through most of it thinking "Something about World War 2 and the Cold war, Metal gears havent been invented yet but they have but they suck, Boobs, lol I have an arrow stuck in my head in every cutscene, The End is retarded, The new (old?) Vamp is a homo, Volgin is gay lololol, Lol nuclear radiation, stupid bitch in outer space, okay I'm supposed to care now? Lol quick draw fight with Ocelot this is cool. OHSHI. Oh it was just a blank."

My exact thought process.

[BRP]

When 'gief beat my Rainbow Roll with a spinning piledriver.

[Brill Weave]

Yakuza -

Spoiler: show

When Yumi ends up sacrificing herself to save Haruka which is the ultimate cockblock since Kiryu had been searching for Yumi the entire game

Yakuza 2 -

Spoiler: show

The ending where Kiryu and Sayama kiss as the bomb on the top of the highrise counts down to zero

^ Is probably one of my most favorite series of games ever made. I am so glad I got the first one when it came out. I will seriously considering purchasing a PS3 just for Yakuza 3 when it does inevitably come out. Decent but repetitive combat. Amazing stories in both that would be worthy of any filmmaker.

[Ragnell]

THat blew my mind when I was a little kid. I remember very clearly yelling very loudly.

Same

also
Pokemon Gold/Silver:

Spoiler: show

YOU CAN FUCKING GO BACK TO KANTO

And

Spoiler: show

RED IN THE FUCKING CAVE WITH A lv 80+ PIKACHU

FF6

Spoiler: show

Finding out Terra was half Esper, then going to the Esper homeworld

[Stiker]

Bigger shock in Assassin's Creed for me was:

Spoiler: show

The ending -- when Altair's abilities start bleeding into Desmond and you can see all the hidden messages around the lab.

Another MGS4:

Spoiler: show

Namoi in general. Finding out about her cancer, her presumed betrayal, and her redemption at the end by creating FOX Alive.

The situation with Rose/Raiden was also a bit interesting too, especially with the revelation Raiden had a son.

Flashback to MGS1 when you go return to Shadow Moses. Everything from the dream sequence with PS1 gameplay to the music and memories running through.

MGS2:

Spoiler: show

Introduction of the Patriots and the Colonel being a AI fraud

MGS1:

Spoiler: show

Snake and Liquid are clones.

Post-ending when Ocolot talks to what is first revealed as a third clone to Snake and Liquid and then the revelation right after that said third clone was the president of the U.S.

Meryl is the Colonel's daughter.

FFIX:

Spoiler: show

Zidane is a clone

The massive amounts of pure destruction in the game thanks to the summons and the ultima spell in various areas.

FFX:

Spoiler: show

Even though it was revealed early: Sin is Jehct.

The final Aeon and whole Yu Yevon religion being a monumental farce.

Auron is unsent.

Tidus is a dream.

Not too major, but didn't see it coming at all -- from GTAIV:

Spoiler: show

Roman and Niko having the shit completely hit the fan with Roman's apartment and cab company being set on fire.

Chrono Cross:

Spoiler: show

Serge is dead in the Other World.

Serge having to fight his own father.

Serge/Lynx swap.

Kid is Schala's clone.

Chrono Trigger:

Spoiler: show

Finding out Magus was Janus.

The multiple forms of Lavos -- seems like nothing now but back then I remember thinking "wow this fight is never ending"

And of course as mentioned, Crono dying.

[Hitoshura]

MOTHER 3

Spoiler: show

Hinawa found dead with a huge Drago fang in her heart. Seriously, I see why this game wasn't localized now. Nintendo doesn't want their cute little image of characters ruined with the kind of setting and tone this game has.. which is made of fucking win. I really couldn't believed that happened though, damn.

[Klain]

Baten Kaitos

Spoiler: show

The main character is one of the bad guys.

And a shitty one at that

[Koul]

Breath of Fire 2

Spoiler: show

Having to kill Ray =/

[Dmitry]

Ok since most of these are MGS and seem pretty epic without reading them, how high of a priority should it be for me to finish MGS1 so I can play the rest?

[Blabj]

Very high. Get a gamecube and get the remake. Though many purists will disagree, the graphics can be a bit of a problem to overcome nowadays, though if you're willing to persevere it's definately a good game (and series!)

[Null]

If you know whats good for you, get the ps1 version. The remake shit all over the game and I weep whenever I hear somebody say they prefer it. MGS1 is by far my favorite game of all time, the best of the series.

[Feedmenow]

I Wanna Be The Guy, after going through a short gauntlet of platforming hell, there's always an innocuous platform or background object that unexpectedly turns into a dangerous object and kills you JUST as you think you get to safety.

[Wintermute]

As far as "wtfawesome" Shocking Moments go MGS4 Act 4 with the flashback audio in certain spots as you play through was incredible.
When I got to the entrance I just put the controller down and left the room. I could not handle the awesome contained in that level and the boss fight at the end was icing on the cake.

The Patriots reveal in Act 3 was pretty heavy too, never saw any of that coming, likewise

Spoiler: show

Liquid snapping out of it at the end of the game only to die in your arms having never got to meet Big Boss again. Poor bastard

.
That last part of the fight when you can barely swing a punch takes it from awesome to best evar.


The post-credits was on par with Act 4. The credits roll and you're all "wtf he wasn't in the game ohshitheis"

System Shock 2 Shodan reveal is still a bitch to this day.

Cloud <> Zack thing was pretty epic back in the day as far as mindfucks go.
Aeris/Aerith thing is hilarious once you notice the cutscene is on the back of the CD case.

The Therese and Jeanette Voerman thing from Vampire:Bloodlines. Fuck that Malkavian blood is some potent shit.

Having a conversation with a Stop sign and Traffic lights in Bloodlines is right up there on the shocking list too. Especially if you've never played that clan before.

[Exoduso]

I don't think anything can beat the final scene of MGS4...

[darkepyon]

Let's see...

Mega Man X8

Spoiler: show

Finding out Sigma WASN'T the final boss, unlike the previous seven games.

Phantasy Star II

Spoiler: show

Star Ocean 3

Watching the world regenerate after seeing it get destroyed. You see the destruction part whether you win or lose to the final boss.

Super Metroid

Spoiler: show

The final battle with Mother Brain where the now overgrown baby Metroid comes to save Samus from certain death but is subsequently killed by Mother Brain.

[Headspace]

Eternal Darkness

Spoiler: show

Shocking? I think so.

[OzzofAsura]

Very high. Get a gamecube and get the remake. Though many purists will disagree, the graphics can be a bit of a problem to overcome nowadays, though if you're willing to persevere it's definately a good game (and series!)

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong... That abomination completely shat on the whole feel of what MGS is. I was SO excited when I heard that was coming out and SOOOO disappointed when I played it. As a game it's meh at best, as MGS it's blasphemy and garbage. No offense brotha, but I couldn't let him do that. Not with MGS1. If you like Resident Evil, that remake is great.

If you know whats good for you, get the ps1 version. The remake shit all over the game and I weep whenever I hear somebody say they prefer it. MGS1 is by far my favorite game of all time, the best of the series.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes... ^ He speaks the truth.
