Most intense gaming experience ever.

[pipboy2010]

Also, the opening of Silent Hill 1, when the air raid sirens go off for the first time and the monsters chase you into the alleyway and 'kill' you. Completely batshit crazy.

Playing Tohuou games are intense for me, just because zun makes things just to f**k with the players.

 

[fuckwit]

1. Finally attacking the Senate in Rome: Total War
2. Fighting The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3.
3. Any fight in Shadow of the Colossus.

I can't decide.

I feel your pain with Rome: Total War.

 

[hailmagus]

Well obviously Killzone 2, my god the way you described it almost made me jump out of my seat..../sarcasm


then you're dead to me. And I don't talk to corpses.

YES YOU DO

I'd have to say the Belmont fight in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow takes it for me. It wasn't intense in the sense as you put it with Killzone 2, but rather, it was intense by the sense that the battle passed so smooth and quickly. I was almost immersed in the fight. In the end, I won, courtesy of the Balore soul(aka, the FALCON PUNCH! soul(you'll believe it if you see it)), but I will not soon forget the feeling I had when in that fight.

 

[DoctorObviously]

Crysis.

 

[figure_nine]

Similar to that feeling you get after watching Saving Private Ryan.

boredom?

1. Finally attacking the Senate in Rome: Total War.

Jesus how did you get enough popular support and how long did it take?

Hmmm...It was a while back, but I know that I was the Brutii. The Julii had been ruined by Germany and Britain, and the Scipii were doing fuck all at the time. I'd conquered Egypt, Macedon (HATE those guys), Greece, Parthia and basically all of the Eastern countries.

I'm guessing that the people were happy to back someone who was actually getting things done.

Yeah i tried to conquer the north as the julii but my empire kind of ran out of steam all of a sudden and squalor built up insanely quick

System Shock 2-the whole game...i played it years after it's release, and it was the most intense gaming experience i ever had.
And i've played a lot of games...

 

[ZerOmega]

Probably my childhood favourite: DOOM. There was just some sort of thrill for a ten year old to gun your way through the endless horders of daemon, knowing that each moment could be your last.

 

[Hyldago]

metal gear solid 4. That or one of the half lifes i forget which.

 

[SantoUno]

The best intense gaming experiences I can remember where on CoD 4, like when your cargo ship is hit during your first mission and starts to flood and you must escape, and also when that nuclear bomb is set off in your last USMC mission and you're crawling around in a devastated area until you finally breathe your last breath and die.

 

[Zombie Badger]

For the shear amount of adrenaline, Painkiller. I just finished it and have already ordered the expansion from Amazon. For atmosphere, Stalker SoC. Especially the Yantar lab.

If you have played this game, then I'm talking to you. If you haven't then I'm talking to myself.

Just take over loads of places and keep your people happy with tonnes of gladitorial games then just start hacking the place up.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Call of Duty 4, Heat, on Veteran.

 

[thousandfaces]

Halo 2 LAN party at college, 8 vs 8, game ended 250-249, the uncertainty when the announcer says game over and then realizing that you won is out of this world. Long live the lan parties!!!

 

[GamingAwesome1]

L4D on Expert. Everyone was quite pissed off with my spazz reaction to victory at the finale.

Also the poetic.

"OH MY GOD! THE RESCUE VEHICLES HERE! RUN! RUN! RUN!!!!"

That made my blood pressure rise.

I hear you brother, that fight with him was awesome in its simplicity. For the record he didnt even touch me on that fight but after that he was a ***** to kill, guess my inmersion was over by then.
