The most beautiful sight in a video game

[bunkymag]

A save point.

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

Flying around for the first time in Dragon Quest VIII was quite amazing.

 

[OverlordSteve]

The end cinnematic of Warcraft 3, the frozen throne. Arthas puts on the Lich King's helmet while the cavern collaspes around him, then it all blows up and it's just him sitting on top of this giant spire of ice.

It's not beautiful, per say, but still pretty awesome.

 

[CTU_Agent24]

Final cutscene fight in 'Drakes Fortune' (on the tanker). Amazing.

Also walking/crawling through the microwave hallway in MGS4 and watching the three seperate battles being waged above you. Powerful

 

[Tanthalos]

Flying around Hogwarts on Buckbeak's back during the winter in the Prisoner of Azakaban game. I did it for hours; the music, graphics and general feel were simply amazing.

 

[corporate_gamer]

The helicopter that comes to rescue you at the end of One Shot, One Kill in Call of Duty 4.

i concur, a beautiful sight.

but i would have to say getting your car shot up by the cops in gta4. pulling away with that single shotgun (pellet?) spread in your passanger door for the first time, it was purty.

More beautiful than the above: A teabagger getting headshot.

Spoiler: WarCraft 3 Spoilers!

The end of the Orc campaign in WarCraft 3 where Grom Hellscream and Thrall are facing off against Mannoroth, where Grom single-handedly takes down the demon lord who had enslaved his race for a generation. Grom the motherfucking Hellscream will forever be the Chuck Norris of orcs.

A shame he had to die because he surpassed the maximum ammount of awesome one can achieve in life

 

[Mr Wednesday]

Oblivion, slowly wandering north and watching the leaves shift from green to gold.

In fact, pretty much Oblivion in general.

 

[the protaginist]

battlefield: bad company on live.being the attacking side,getting on the artillery and blowing up the building your enemy was about to hide in.

 

[Hippobatman]

First seeing the outside world in Oblivion. I actually just stood there for a few seconds, taking it all in.

That is exactly what i wanted to post.

Me too. I was so tired of walking around in that dark, gloomy castle dungeon, so stepping out into the bright and beautifull outdoors, gazing down at the river, seeing the mountains and a butterfly flying by was nothing but breathtaking.

When you discover cool "set pieces".

Something like in a FPS game where you come across a secluded perch overlooking lots of bad guys crowded around a explosive barrel.

 

[runtheplacered]

Lord of the rings online has some beautiful scenery in it. They really did a great job with that. The music tends to go right along with it, too.

 

[MindBullets]

C&C 3's Ion Cannon.

 

[Jumplion]

Shadow of the Colossus is a givin' but when i first started to play the game and see the vast openness of the world i just rode around with my horse and gazed at the open plain.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Stepping out of the City 17 station and seeing the stark contrast of the obelisk with Breen's face on it, dwarfed by the Citadel.

 

[SteinFaust]

Sailing in TLoZ: Windwaker. that was just pretty.
the entirety of Okami.
my first slowmo headshot in Sniper Elite.
