Most "holy shit" inducing game section ever?
- Thread starter Diablo27
- Start date
Definitely that in terms of Adrenalin. It's a massive rush when a boss was finally down after weeks of working on it.4173 said:
Indeed. It's totally absurd and completely appropriately awesome at the same time. A poetic ending to an awesome game.Eggbert said:
Same game, different scenes.Evilsanta said:
- First time her outfit transforms into the hair monster thing.
- Shooting the second-to-last boss with Lipstick. That scene totally defines the awesomeness of that game in words I can't describe.
I'll be adding in the rooftop escape scene in Uncharted 2. Specifically the part where you end up in a skyscraper and you keep fighting in it as it topples and falls to the side. The first time I played that section I was gawking at what the game was pulling.
Right now the only things that are "holy shit" for me is when I am clearing out a planet in A.I. War: Fleet Command and suddenly I hear a massive explosion from my headset. One of the very many random attacks is probably destroying most of my planets. Damn it is hard to lose that game if you just keep your entire fleet at the front lines. =\
Gotta say the invisible water monster in Amnesia... that or pretty much any part in the second half of the game really....
It may not seem that scary in the video, but if you actually play it.... you're on the verge of ruining your pants at any second.
It was also the fist time ever, I let out a sigh of relief at the end of something in a game.

METAL GEAR SOLID 2 :
Inside arsenal gear, when the colonal and rose start going crazy and telling me stuff like, "don't sit too close to the tv, you'll ruin your eyes", "turn off the console" and "really, are you still playing this, haven't you got anything better to do with your time".
How did he know?

I was actually really thankful for that. Moira, with her blind, cheery optimism and what seems to be a mild mental disorder is my favourite character in Fallout 3Gauntes said:

In RPGs some choices should have a major impact on the game, by blowing up Megaton you lose vendors, a house, some important loot, characters and quests. This the consequence to your decision, having Moira survive really ruined that.
I suppose if you look at it another way it is the only way to kill children in Fallout 3[footnote]I find it hard to believe that they got far enough away, warning or not, to not be utterly annihilated by the blastwave[/footnote]. That's a pretty strong consequence in its own right. But I do see what you mean.ChupathingyX said:The problem is that by making her survive it really tones down the whole choices aspect.Cheesus333 said:I was actually really thankful for that.

TBH, I found that bear part to be somewhat funny, I was thinking "wow, my character must be crapping his pants right now" the whole time, that mirror scene (or should I say those scenes) were not funny at all.Deshara said:In Condemned 2, they put a mirror at the end of a hallway. A hallway that you're going to be getting chased down by a GIGANTIC FUCKING RABID GRIZZLY BEARTriggerHappyAngel said:That final mirror scene.
Exactly. I'd never run into any of the 'Legendary' critters before, so it was more the sheer size of the damn thing that caught me out. Of course, after discovering that such creatures existed, my Skirmisher character (Guns, Sneak & Survival) has become somewhat of a big game hunter.C95J said:

For a scary "Holy Shit"-
Amnesia: The Dark Descent, in the choir. It's dark, you can barely see where you're going and you got a nice demonic hellspawn stalking you. Just pray you don't hear the sound.
For an awesome "Holy Shit"-
Several of the ARGUS fights in Vanquish...Just see the transformation sequence from spider-tank to robot, and it only gets more awesome from there.

First thing that comes to mind was in the original God of War.
Ares throwing a Doric column-cum-javelin right through Kratos' guts. From a hundred miles away.
