Most "holy shit" inducing game section ever?
- Thread starter Diablo27
- Start date
I don't know if it's the biggest "holy shit" moment, but Red Dead Redemption really made me drop my jaw when...
... I'd just gotten used to the ranching clothes and the lighter setting and thought the game was just about to wrap up - and John Marston suddenly gets shot to shreds, years pass in which his wife dies as well and I play as his son in the end game!
The revenge I took on the guy responsible did NOT make up for that at all and the game ended with a deep sense of hopelessness and despair. That strikes me as one of the most mature things I've encountered in a game story-wise.

'Twas a very sad moment.Jove said:Me too manSean Hollyman said:. At first though I was like "HOLY SHIT!!!", but then when i just saw the head I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! DAMN IT WHY!!!"
He must be in a future game.
Honestly, the only thing that comes to mind is the boss battle against the giant worm thing in Prototype.
I was flying around between buildings and doing cannonballs from the tops of skyscrapers and hitting the ground, cars flying all around me, civilians fleeing in terror as I cut them down because they're in my way.
I just couldn't believe how much carnage I was creating. It was surreal, I just had to take a step back and laugh about how awesomely powerful I was.

Definately the Choir in Amnesia: Dark Descent. That was the scariest "Holy Shit" moment for me. And I agree with most of the COD4 moments.
Most recently, that part in Bioshock when you encounter Dr. Steinmann. God, that was creepy. I'd put down what happens, but I don't know how to add spoiler tags.
Must be mass effect 2. Right at the beginning when Shepard walks out into the room with the breached hull. Everything is in zero gravity. Poo blowing up everywhere. Freaking flying chairs that moved when you ran into them. Amazing view of the planet below. Awesome.
That was an awesome moment, made that whole battle worth it.Evilsanta said:
OT: For a negative one it was the second time you have to "fight" Pyramid Head in Silent Hill 2, but there's two of them that time. I was frantically running around like an idiot until they finally died.
The Regenerators from Resident Evil 4. Just hearing it made me nearly sh*t bricks, and to top it off, I was out of ammo on that part. You can imagine my reaction when it showed itself.
And also Andross from Starfox. Not one in particular, but every single time you face him in any Starfox game. He always manages to make me cuss, and give me nightmares for the next three days.

It's a 10 story tall monster that's about to kill you and the two ghosts you brought along for the ride! and it has friends who are archers!
Suffice to say that after a perfect run to him (Being alive) with the help of two souls I made it to him,then got destroyed 10 seconds later.
Has to be experiencing my first non-story Oblivion gate outside Bruma. The sky turned red and I thought oh wow this looks amazing, until I saw the gate spawning up in the mountain. The words "OH SHIT!!" were repeated so many times along with the odd "wow this looks amazi...SHIT!! RUN FASTER!!"
