That part at the end of portal 2.

You know, with the singing turrets. I cried it was so beautiful.

Pretty much the entire level The Covenant in Halo 3, get to fly the jet helicopter thing(this one is infinitely better than the one found in Reach), get in a tank, and it all culminates into the largest battle in a Halo game. Two fucking scarabs, man.

The climax of Crysis 2, I forgot the levels name, but in it the aliens are invading the private compound, Hargreaves tells his men if you want to live save Alcatraz, and its the best alien invasion level I've seen in an FPS really.

FUCKING CYRENE, and Angelos with no legs.

I think there's something to be said about the final level, Halo, too. The whole thing is a massive callback to the first game, and brings the entire trilogy full circle.

You visit a rebuilt Alpha Halo, activate it with the Index Cortana's had in her brain since she stopped the original Halo, Johnson dies, you get to kill Guilty Spark for good, and then a glorious escape in a Warthog as the ring collapses in on itself, mirroring the escape from the Autumn at the end of the first game. And at the end of that, Master Chief and Cortana are left floating in empty space with no prospect of rescue.

Wake me. When you need me.

True, that too was an epic ending.

abe619 · #36 08-17-2011, 01:37 PM

I know the quality is shit, but it's worth it...I remember landing that trick.

Crashpunk · #37 08-17-2011, 02:38 PM

Aw shit, I have a playthrough of Okami I still need to finish. Thanks for reminding me.

Anyway, here's a personal moment that I think I've mentioned before:

(skip to 0:32)

On its own it's not much, but it's quite a sad moment when you realise this was the last Spyro game made by Insomniac, before the series took a major decline in quality.

Yeah the original Spyro game have a special place in my heart. They were just great and I see its greatness in the Ratchet games as well. Rep+ cause you love Spyro too

Starcraft and Brood War in general has an epic storyline.

abe619 · #39 08-17-2011, 07:09 PM

This was truly epic...contains spoilers.

***Nate*** · #40 08-18-2011, 12:20 AM

I'm not going to post a video because I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but the final level of World 1 in Braid was brilliant. Absolute mindfuckery when the switcheroo occurs.

jumper · #41 08-18-2011, 01:36 AM

Yes! I'm tempted to play Braid again now

I'm pretty confident it's the only ending to a game that's made me say "wow". The execution of it all is fantastic.

scrabface · #42 08-18-2011, 05:30 AM

two great scenes in dead space 2

Dixanadu · #43 08-19-2011, 09:05 AM

Dead Space 2...

Behind a performing stage...

FUCKING SUN

FUCK FUCK FUCK

I meleed that thing in anger so many times.

Dynamithix · #44 08-21-2011, 12:31 PM

This whole part of the game was made to mess with your head. I swear, the first time I got to this part, I thought my Xbox was about to break. Fucking awesome though.

JennyGenesis · #45 09-10-2011, 04:31 AM

WARNING CONTAISN SPOILERS
This was really confusing the first time I played it, this is also the first of Tanners "nightmares"

jumper · #46 09-10-2011, 05:06 AM

Something gives me the feeling that you like this game, I just can't put my finger on why...

(I haven't watched the video, 'cause I actually intend on playing the game

)

Dynamithix · #47 09-10-2011, 05:12 AM

This was really epic when I first saw it. Reminded me of Mass Effect 2's intro. Amazing.

Mac Sirloin · #48 09-11-2011, 11:05 AM

I just finished Montreal in DX and I'm tempted to start over. Too many scattered Augment points.

Hazel-Rah · #49 09-11-2011, 03:05 PM

BOOYAH! Blaze takes all the glory.

MeechMunchie · #50 09-12-2011, 10:22 AM

All of the bad ending vignettes from the early Sonic games.

You know, like Eggrobos rising from the wreckage, Metallix leaping on the Master Emerald, Robotnik juggling etc.

MeechCrunchies · #51 09-12-2011, 10:41 AM

Pissing off all of the PCPD and obtaining a Level 5 Chase Status in NFS:Carbon
I had my tires popped and I swear at least 10 cops gangbanged me

Mac Sirloin · #52 09-12-2011, 03:30 PM

The boss fight itself was retarded, but the entire Brumak section of Gears of War 2. Fuck yes. Also rockworm again

Wings of Fire · #53 09-12-2011, 08:49 PM

Haters gonna hate.

DarkHoodness · #54 09-12-2011, 08:59 PM

THIS... ISN'T... OVER!

However I think they should've done actual proper cutscenes for WotLK rather than just doing really good machinima. Lazy buggers.

MeechCrunchies · #55 09-12-2011, 09:58 PM

:

Haters gonna hate.

Pretty fucking epic, whether it's machinima or not.

Wings of Fire · #56 09-13-2011, 05:35 AM

I think the justification for doing machinima came from the fact it runs in game as part of a server event and many people playing WoW have shitty computers because it's the casual's MMO.

Though that doesn't forgive or explain why they used machinima for the patch videos, epic as they are too.

Splat · #57 09-13-2011, 05:52 AM

Metroid Fusion. So many fabulous moments in the game, but above all the sequence from when the power fails, trapping you in a lift, you see the X-infested Ridley, the vine-choked power core, and then the meeting with the SA-X in TRO when she pounds the life out of you, no matter how fast you run.

(Video only shows part of it, and is pretty rubbish anyway.)
