The end of BP:WiH.

[Dilmah G]

As pro galtev as I am, I really have to agree with you, mate.

[mxlm]

I hadn't realized WiH was released. I'll go get on that.

Being forced to shoot my own buddy in Far Cry 2. (Happens if you wasted all your medkits). That was harsh, especially when she took teh gun (which I was holding), placed it on her throat, and whispered: "Do it! it's the only way!"

The first buddy I had to kill was Quarbani Singh.

[Ghostavo]

Not exactly emotional, but there was that moment in Oblivion where

Spoiler:

you discovered that the world you were in was actually Dagon's in the first place and that WE were the invaders.

That certainly put the whole game in perspective.

I actually figured that was just propaganda.  Of course, I would doubt that their religion was real at all if i didn't get buffs from praying at churches.

Michelle, right at the first time. But i bet that you get different buddies depending on the character you choose, as some of them (such as the captain of the barge in act 2) appear quite important.

The end of BP:WiH.

This. The end hit me with a sadness that only Adagio For Strings Op. 11 pulled off, not only because it was the end of the most awaited campaign of the entire year, but what happened during it.

Spoiler:

I want Simms to live.

Some great picks; Nice to know most of you have such good taste! 

I'm trying to remember older games just so I don't end up repeating too much...

XWA - When your home is taken over by the Imps and you're forced to flee to the
rebellion, and later when you find out Anton sold you out to the Imps. Bastards!

TIE Fighter - When Harkov makes you take out a minefield in a @#*%$& TIE Interceptor! (gitface!) And once you are assigned to Thrawn and are hunting down Zaarin. (Taste my missile boat!)

Dark Forces - The Arc Hammer level when the epic ass kicking iMUSE music kicks in. You know what I mean. (Seriously, why can't people write music for games like that any more?! Michael Land, Clint Bajakian and Peter McConnell were GODS of the iMUSE system in all early LEC games!)

Republic Commando - The ending. Seeeeeev! Why did they kill off Sev?! He was the best guy in the game!!

Day of the Tentacle - Back... to the MANSION!

Sanitarium - The whole game is just a huge mind****!

Command and Conquer - When you first start the game with the Act on Instinct track playing

Forgotten Worlds - First meeting the final boss

Bubble Bobble - One of the secret levels (It had really spooky music! I was like, 6, and it scarred me for live! )

Midnight Resistance - Completing it the first time and then finding I didn't have enough keys to rescue all of my family!!

ChronoTrigger - Pretty much the whole game was a jumble of WTF?, OMG! and *sniff*

Full Throttle - The ending, the cavefish and the bunnies

Super Metroid - I don't need to say it! I'm just glad it wasn't just me... Awww...

Sonic 2 - The end song before the credits (Although the credits music rocks too)

Diablo - The Butcher 

Doom - I went through all that and they still killed mah bunneh!! 

StarCraft 1 - When you have to abandon Kerrigan! Damn you Mengsk!! Li'l Jimmy almost scored!

System Shock 1 and 2 - Both games build pretty intense atmospheres, but the Delacroix reveal in 2 and the first time you run into a Cortex Reaper in 1 are two of my moments.

AvP - I was on the verge of ****ting myself pretty much through the whole Marine campaign!

Thief: When the Trickster and Viktoria take Garret's eye *ugh!*  It really galls that you have to work with her later on in the sequel too I never finished Thief 2 tho'

MechWarrior 3 - Intro cutscene, where everything goes tits up straight away Frickin' lasers! 

Battlezone (The Activision one) - When you first get attacked by Furies

[Scourge of Ages]

Ah, one more: The end of Call of Duty 4.

Spoiler:

Griggs! Gazzzz! Noooooooooooo. Stupid armless, nuke firing dude, I will shoot you in the head for that!

[starbug]

silent hill 2 - whole game made me uneasy

system shock 2 - same as above

Deadspace - almost made me require a change in boxershorts, first time i played it in the dark

Realms of the haunting - freaked me out when a first played as a kid and what an intro, i still haven't played a game like it in length and epicness.

Fear 2 - the game wasn't the greatest but the fate of the character keegan, pulled at me, for such a good guy what alma does to him is tragic and pretty heartbraking

[Scotty]

Republic Commando - The ending. Seeeeeev! Why did they kill off Sev?! He was the best guy in the game!!

We never get this confirmed.  It's the equivalent of "left wide open" in Star Wars canon.  We have a mention of Delta getting a new squadmate in Order 66, IIRC, but never any further word on circumstances of his "death."

[SpardaSon21]

I prefer Fixer.

Yay!  Wookie life debts for everyone!

[X3N0-Life-Form]

OK, let's quote this

"No one's left. Everything is gone. Kharak is burning."
"WE LIVE"

"I'd say ... about 90%." -(same game)- "Full 180"

"Ahhh fresh meat !"

"What can change the nature of a man ?"

"Evacuate Chakris sector immediatly !"

"Affirmative, Sathanas configuration ! Repeat, Sathanas configuration !"

"My name is Legion, for we are many."

"-Did it trouble you to murder your brothers ? -Did it trouble you when you ordered me into the abyss ? -No, I had faith in you."

& some minor others
    "Heh, party time !"

    "The complete elimination of the other"

    "Come get some !"

EDIT : Almost forgot Unreal 2.

Legend of Dragoon where one of your friends is impaled to death, first-chapter.

Doom 1 was actually pretty freaky back in the old old old days. . . . Before I was fourteen I think. Cacodemons used to freak me out, the sounds. Lack of save on the snes. Playing it til three AM, glad it de-sensatised me.

[utops]

Cannon Fodder:
The three first characters in this game -Jools, Jops, Stoo must not die,otherwise i was forced to start at the begining due save game problem issues.
Also,Bioware games gets me go emo sometimes.

[Cyker]

<Kahn voice>Joooooools!!
I tried so hard to keep that little smeg-pot alive, and he'd ALWAYS (*ALWAYS!!!*) get killed by a roof or tank turret or something landing on his head! 


@Dekker - I still think it is pretty scary, although as you say we're all pretty desensitized in these modern times... I think it was all down to the audio tho' - SoundFX and music are very important for atmosphere - Far more than the visuals IMHO - and it was just much better done in Doom.
The music alone sets the mood for every level, and the sound effects they picked were just so much better than the pathetic crap in, say, Doom 3, even tho' they were 22k 8-bit! (The shotgun reload sound,  the baron of hell scream and the cyberdemon's footsteps are all iconic, whereas almost all the sounds in Doom 3 sound like forgettable 44.1kHz 16-bit crap.)

[watsisname]

HOW HAS NOBODY MENTIONED PORTAL YET!?

Poor companion cube.


Also the curiosity sphere.
