Epic story moments

[fmn335]

Most games come with a story. Some are great! Some suck. Usually there are a couple moments that will leave you speechless in some. Then there are other epic moments that are hard to describe and are strange but are still cool. (*cough* Castle Crashers ending. *cough cough*.)

What are some epic moments in a games story that you loved or remember? It can also be DLC stories too. They can also be sad.

Let see here which Mass Effect moment shall I pick?

. Shepard barking down the Quarian admiral board in ME2.
. Grunt surviving hordes upon hordes of reaper modified Ranchnids-
. Making a Krogan back down but head-butting him-
. Killing a Thresermaw (probably spelled it wrong) on foot.
. Joker firing the killing blow on Sovereign.
. Making Sarren realize his fault and thus committing suicide in defiance to the Reapers.
. Making the Illusive Man realize his fault and thus committing suicide in defiance to the Reapers.
. Facing a Reaper on the ground and WIN... TWICE!
. Saving the galaxy. Three times! Or more maybe.
. Curing the genophage.
. Ending the Quarian Geth conflict without wiping out either species.
. Conduct the shortest interrogation in history.
. Blowing up the Collector home base.
. Successfully avoid killing a single brainwashed colonist on Feros.
. Taking out a Geth Champion on foot, you know those things in ME1 that you only could kill in the tank.
. (a epic fail example) Be to dumb to live and have sex with Morinth.
. Have sex with everyone! (well as many as possible)
. Have Conrad risk his life to save you, and have him survive (because some side quest in ME1).
. "This is for Thane/Miranda, you son of bitch" aka renegade kill Kai Lang.
. EDI taking on a personal vendetta directed towards Shepard's evil clone.
. Evil Shep crossing the line how? Messing with Shepards (space) hamster. "Now it's personal".
. Miranda crumb stomp the shit out of an Eclipse leader.
. Not losing a single team member in the suicide mission.
. Keith David... What?

There's more of course but now I have to play Mass Effect.

This never happened in my playthrough, but it still brings tears to my eyes.

RIP Robin Sachs.

That salute in MGS3. You know the one.

Weeping like a child. Real tears. Trying to find Kojima's phone number, giving up and just picking a Japanese number at random, and crying down the phone asking a confused foreign woman if Big Boss is going to be okay.

**SPOILERS**

Resident Evil - Seeing the first zombie.
GTA V - Trevor and Michael meet again after all those years.
Fallout 3 - Being the first Fallout game for many first stepping into the Wasteland was amazing.
Fallout 3 - Watching your Dad die.
Fallout: New Vegas - Launching the Ghouls into Space.
Half-Life - Core falling apart.

Video games aren't usually a good medium for telling a story. Buuuut, on the rare occasion that they do deliver, it's like a rain shower after a drought, or a break in the clouds during an overcast day. It's great, but in the big picture, you know it's a moment that needs to be savored, as it probably won't happen for another while.

So that's why I can't pick a moment.
