Here's an old one. The end boss for Yoshi's Island on the SNES. Little pipsqueak Bowser suddenly towering over the horizon really comes as a shock when you play for the first time.
Most "holy shit" inducing game section ever?
- Thread starter Diablo27
- Start date
Hydra in God of War 1. I was like "Holy shit, I'm like 5 minutes into the game!".
And probably the entire second half of Amnesia. There it was more like "Holy shit, RUN!"

The entire last hour of Metal Gear Solid 2. Anyone who has played it knows what In talking about.
The Dunwich building in Fallout 3. Every turn warrants a "holy shit" moment. Especially the flashback.
Modern Warfare just seemed overdone to me, and the whole EMP/nuke bit lost it's interesting novelty when it was impossible to see a damned thing, which made shooting, arguably the only point on the game, nearly impossible. So while I did think "shit," it was Hole-y not holy. A couple of great moments from a game that frequently scared me were in RE4. The first time someone's head explodes in a plaga-thing basically comes from nowhere and freaked me for a bit. The second time when you meet some normal dogs for the first time, and they maul you and you're sitting there going "SHITSHITSHITSHIT" trying to survive. And the next one that really stuck out at me was next time you see the dogs, now thoroughly weary of them, you nigh on shit yourself when they explode into plaga-things too.
