For me it is opening credits sequence in Nier Automata, Shadowlord's castle in Nier Replicant and AI reveal in MGS2. All these three games are masterclass in storytelling.

The moment in System Shock 2 where you meet Shodan for the first time. The audio is done so well and the first time I played it, that reveal got me really good.

The ending of SOMA. I sometimes watch it on youtube just to enjoy it again. Note: the ending won't mean anything to you if you don't already know the story.

Retrieving the master sword is always a good one

The Mass Effect trilogy is full of favorite moments for me, but perhaps the most memorable one is when you romance Tali and get(h) to the final push on Earth, in ME3.It's beautiful.

Any dialogue instance whatsoever between Aveline and Isabella in Dragon Age II. Here's one of my (many) favorites:

Aveline: You're right.

Isabela: About?

Aveline: About knowing who you are.

Aveline: I'm the captain of the guard. I'm loyal, strong, and I don't look too bad naked.

Isabela: Exactly. And if I called you a mannish, awkward, ball-crushing do-gooder, you'd say...?

Aveline: Shut up, whore.

Isabela: That's my girl.

Conclusion and credits of Final Fantasy IX. Especially after playing all the previous entries. What a rollercoaster..

The factory level in Titanfall 2, where you're trying to escape

Fuck so good, peak single player FPS. Still blows my mind that they used the Source engine.

The moment early in Fez when you receive your titular hat, hit me at just the right time and place in my life. I was ready for exactly that kind of cheeky, childish, wonderment

When I have a perfectly flat four row stack and the 4x1 tile appears.

Freespace Intro.

This would have made a great movie.

The Ghost Train fight in Final Fantasy 6 is by far, one of the best part of the game. Too bad I didn't get to complete the game entirely.

KotOR. Just the whole thing basically but especially the story turning points.

the story reveals in Horizon: Zero Dawn. it's hard to say much of anything without spoilers, but that game had me absolutely riveted.

also HL: Alyx had some stunning moments. I haven't been much of a VR fan but that game is fantastic.

I need to figure out how spoilers work in Lemmy haha. hard to talk about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (4 children)

I’ve yet to play Alyx, but I have a similar experience with most of VR gaming. It’s an interesting experience, but the controller UX gets really annoying very quickly, IMHO. I’ve had quite some fun playing Elite Dangerous until I got bored. The only VR game I play with some semi regularity is Beat Saber, especially when a good pack comes out…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

yeah my vr rig is just a dedicated beat saber machine these days.
