There has only been two occasions I can remember that when after I finished something I just sat silent in my seat for like 5 minutes thinking, and taking in the emotions experienced. The first is the ending to Cowboy Bebop, and the other is the end of Hanako's story in Katawa Shoujo.Breaker deGodot said:
Edit: ... And the ending to MGS3, just remembered.
The entirety of Shadow of the colossus and Wind Waker. Both fantastic games.
on a side note: AGROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Yeh, I'm gonna go ahead and agree with everyone who said that part from Spec Ops: The Line. From various bits and pieces I read on the internet, I knew that there was something in the game that was supposed to stop you in your tracks and make you really think about what you do in games, but I had no idea what to expect. On my first playthrough I got to that bit and almost couldn't continue playing for a long time after the cutscene. The whole game from that point on had an entirely different feel, and I almost felt bad for feeling compelled to continue playing just to see how things turned out. By the time I got to the ending I didn't feel much better.
3´rd mission in Homeworld. after you had a look around you were committed to see the game through the end. for it was not a simple mission now. it was survival of everything you know
The bird-like Colossus from Shadow of the Colossus. Climbing over it's wings while it tries to shake you off while kick-ass music plays was a great moment.
And the Suicide Run in Mass Effect 2 made me unironically say Fuck Yeah at certain points.

One time when I was playing fallout 3 I found a distress call radio signal. I listened to it and found out it was from a guy who was held up in a drainage pipe with his family and that i was badly ill. So I decided to look for them so I could help them like. Eventually, I found the drainage pipe and inside it I found the skeletons of three people. Next to them I saw a ham radio that was playing on a loop. I felt saddened by the fact that they had probably been dead for a long time.To prevent other's from doing the same as I did I turned off the radio and continued on my journey.
- dont flame me for this but... the ending of mass effect 3. while poorly done, i clutched my head in a bout of utter confusion of the extrapolation of the decision to come, took me a good half hour to make a choice... i almost didn't want to.
- the start of dead island, when you just wake up up until you exit the hotel building.
- shadow of the colossus (nuf said)
- geth decision in Mass effect 2

For me it would be the end of MGS3. You sit there watching the scene after you ruthlessly beat your mentor, your mother figure, and in a way your lover. After telling her story to you, she hands you the patriot and you stand there pointing it at her. Only to realize that you actually have to pull the trigger. I sat there for minutes because i grew to have nothing but respect for the boss. Then the whole segment after that bravo Kojima bravo.
2 parts in Modern Warfare 2.
Russia invaded USA and during that mission when your fighting them in that neighborhood and inside one of the houses you find a stupid russian soldier in the fridge looking for something to eat, yeah I emptied my shotgun into the back of his head.
Russia launching the EMP and your left dodging falling helicopters.

I just registered an account here to comment on this post! I agree, my friend. I started gaming on a dedicated Pong console about 33 years ago, and the moment you just mentioned tops my list of jaw dropping moments in ANY fictional media EVER. It was a little bit different for me though,Weealzabob said:
because I relished shooting her. Every time she popped up throughout the game, I got a sick feeling in my stomach, cause she was about to screw me one way or the other. Whether she was setting me up for a long fight against one of her minions, or taking my weapons and leaving me for dead, I knew I was going to be doing some savegame reloading for a while. So I didn't hesitate to pull the trigger, and laughed in glee. I finally had my revenge! And then the big endgame exposition came. I never suspected it. I sat in front of the TV for 30 minutes, stunned. The entire game I'd been waiting to blow her away, and after I did it, I discovered I had just killed a selfless hero, who sacrificied all, for the greater good. And I had enjoyed it. Taught me a real life lesson... NEVER take things at face value.
The long walk in the corridor at the end of silent hill 2 - the game totally got me long before, but that particular moment was the first time i played a scene with such an intense emotional impact in a game. I felt so sorry for these two poor lovers.
Also playing Metro 2033 on Ranger Mode Hardcore was basically one long deep moment and Spec Ops was the last game that gave me several of these moments.

These parts in Call of Duty. Say what you will, but I think this series DEFINITELY has its fair share of epic moments.

I do think that the EMP detonation in Modern Warfare 2 was its greatest moment, but you can't forget the part wherePrimitiveJudge said:
You throw a knife into Shepherd's eye.
He deserved every second of it.
Two Moments
1: The end of Halo Reach.
2: Killing the mothership for the first time in FTL. Since you can't reload an old save you end up getting so invested that it actually feels like all or nothing.
1: The end of Halo Reach.
When your character looks up at the leaving of the Pillar of Autumn and you realize, "Damn, I'm alone." Then you just kill guys till you die. It just hit me.

Joining the Spec Ops crowd. Probably my favourite game of 2012 so far. Didn't nearly expect it to be as good as it was.
Other than that:
- The twist/revelation of BioShock. Never before did I truly hate a videogame character as after that moment.
- Seeing the new Normandy in Mass Effect 2.
- Whenever I crawled topside in Metro 2033.
- The coastal area in Half Life 2. Really showed the impact the Combine had purely through the environment.
- Finishing the first Ace Attorney. It was like I was janked back into reality, I never even realized how deep I got into that game.
- Just driving around on a chopper blasting Liberty Rock Radio in GTA: The Lost And Damned.
- Whenever my empire really starts to grow in Civilization 5 I sort of...merge with the game in a Zen-like state.
- Max Payne 3. I was in a drunken, cynical state at the time so it was easy to connect with Max.
- Finishing Majora's Mask, seeing that last Giant cry (if I remember correctly) felt extremely emotional for some reason.

Never did I stand behind a choice I made in any game as solid as I did after that moment. Damn that game is good.Yokillernick said:
Dark Souls, my build is a Velka's Rapier, full Black Cleric set, and the Bloodshield. I have 0 poise so one attack from a great sword staggers me. It was a 3v1 in Darkroot Garden. All 3 of the enemies wielding Black Knight Great Axes that would stagger/kill me in 1 hit. I charge the Sun Bro in the group of 3 and dodge his swing and turn around for a 1.2K damage backstab killing him instantly. The next guy, a normal white phantom clad in full Smough's rushes at me brandishing his axe ready to swing. I dodge off to the side with a quick leap and start my barage of rapier strikes (12 strikes in a row, all for roughly 500 damage) and he dies in the 4th strike. The host see both of his phantoms dying to 1 man, standing with a rapier, untouched. He pulls out a Lightning Uchikatana +5 and runs straight at me. As he swings I switch to my Parrying Dagger and force his blade away. And in the moment, that one repose, I had won a 3v1.
