>the finale that is Click Clock Wood and everything after in Banjo
>the slow realization in 2001 that Animal Crossing was a game that kept going without the player, changing day by day, and proceeding to play it for 5 hours straight, while having so many questions about its quirky presentation before not caring and becoming an addict
>first time starting up DKC2 after years of doing every single possible thing in DKC1, as it was my first game ever. Experencieng that amazing aesthetic, and eventually hearing lockjaw saga with all it's bubbly submerged sounds, hearing the seal's cries in echo in the room as the tension ramps up. Soaking in the tone and realizing this game was its own different beast, but fully deserving of the DKC title. In fact, could it be even better?
It doesn't even have to be good games. Just moments that you remember going, "holy fuck."
For example, something like a full server on MAG on the PS3 was something I had never even come close to experiencing at that point. I was used to at the most 16 players, and the moment I parachuted down onto the map and saw an ocean of players firing at each other I couldn't even believe it. The game may have been unrefined, but I wouldn't trade that first feeling for anything.
nostalgiafags are the worst

If it helps, I recently played Wario Land 4 and I've had an equally powerful reaction to its level design. That game shot its way up into my top 10 with ease

The thread would've been nice if the OP wasn't such a cringeworthy faggot about it. I felt like I was reading a youtube comment.
>>338164913
Maybe it was just me, but after playing Super Mario 64 all the time as a kid, the first time I started playing Mario Sunshine was a "whoa" moment for me. It looked better, brighter and I loved controlling Mario as much as I did before.
>>338165732
sorry you've never felt passionate about anything anon
>(A) Protect Earth
>>338166078
I'm not a faggot about things I'm passionate about.
Life Is Strange. I doubted it until a friend of mine recommended it, but the game is amazing.
Other than that most multiplayer games give you that feeling when you do something that is really badass, or if youre just having a blast talking with your friends and playing.
>>338164913
Easily it was playing Morrowind for the first time. How almost everything was interactive just blew my mind for some reason. "Wait I can pick that up? And that? AND THAT?" Walking outside Seyda Neen and exploring that nearby cave and getting all kinds of loot and fighting for my life, getting all fucked up and tired as it started raining and finally seeing Balmora as a safe haven. Can't describe it. Was just so happy to see civilization after all that adventure and it was only a small fraction of what the game had to offer. Blew my mind.
>>338166272
Not him, but this is /v/. You're allowed to let down your hair a little, anon. Instead of complaining about OP, why not say something that you liked or that was memorable about video game for you?

The entire MegaMan Battle Network series and the multiplayer. What a great span of years for vidya in general.

You just don't get that as much as you should nowadays. I'm usually surprised if the furniture moves at all
>>338165781
Super Mario Sunshine is still *the* comfy game for me, it's like a vidya version of taking a beach holiday. Holy fuck how I loved it when I got it as a christmas present.
>>338166904
I loved how nearly everything had a purpose like the lanterns and candles, sure they look nice and can be used to decorate, but they are also functional as a light source if you don't have any torches. After I installed a few mods for a nice small and cozy house I would spend a lot of game time just reading all the books the game had to offer.

>>338165414
normie the post
>>338167020
Agreed. Every level was so colorful and vibrant, and even if it sounds tedious on paper, cleaning up all the goop in the levels was fun because the levels were designed around it. It's honestly one of my favorite games of all time because of how much polish the game had.
>>338164913
It wasn't a holy fuck moment, I don't think, but it was a moment.
>>338167020
Gonna have to say SM64 and Galaxy for me. 64 because first 3D game, and Galaxy because I guess music plays a big part in how seriously I take a video game, and somehow it seemed like all the stakes were there in Galaxy. Not just in-game, but in terms of Nintendo's practices
The rock concert in Alan Wake.
One of few enjoyable "defend position" scenarios in vidya and easily redeemed the game.
All of shadow moses in MGS4. Especially after the vamp fight when otacon tell you to hold of the geckos while he gets rex working.. It's really not a great game in hindsight, but that first play through was a fucking doozy.

Red Dead Redemption, the whole game was amazing and the same goes for Max Payne 3.
Batman Arkham Asylum was and is the best superhero game ever.
TFW I don't like buying remasters but they just announced return to Arkham.

I really hope they do something similar with Half Life 3 where you have to go back to Black Mesa only it's all ruins and overrun with vegetation and shit. And no, it did NOT get blown up by a nuke.

I only truly love games that give me this sensation. Pity I can't find it anymore. I'm certain it has to do with the state of the industry, but I wonder if maybe my perception of games nowadays affects it too.

people can't divorce their perception from reality

People can say what they want about the quality of the game itself, but the final boss was the most well executed thing in the entire series.

My favorite example of this is the manta ray boss. That huge fucker is sliming up the entire front part of a hotel and it's your job to clean things up, all while getting rid of the manta ray, which can split into tiny ones. That was my particular favorite.
Other than that, there were plenty of enemies that made use of shitting up the place like piranha plants. Sometimes the goop was electric or magma. Sometimes you could find Mario signs under the goop for blue coins.
There was so much done with the goop and how you had to clean it up that I'm hard pressed to call it "random". "Distracting" is up to you.
>>338168470
Good for you, gramps. Some of us are still okay with being happy and living in our version of the world we perceive. If you take a superior stance to being """mature""" cause you purposely put yourself in a lifestyle that you don't enjoy because that's "the adult thing to do," then do us all a favor and keep it to yourself.

I loved both Xtreme G 2 and XGRA(ssociation). Both have tremendous flaws with certain mechanics:
>in 2 the only way to win is to upgrade your engine first until you hit max engine, then you can think about unlocking the weapons and other stuff
>in association some weapons are clearly OP and the pickups are all imba
>perfecting courses (not necessary for winning) requires some memorization because some inclines/declined simply don't let you see what's ahead
But graphically and gameplay-wise they rock. Great sensation of speed while pasted to the ground on a jet-powered motorbike. XGRA had a hype soundtrack and the courses were quite wild. My memory of 2 is more fuzzy but it helped tide over myneed for speed.
>>338168745
Hrm, I suppose I see what you mean. I mean, manta is obvious but I forgot about most of the goop-spreading variations with the electrics and such. I also never cared about blue coins so that might be part of it.
>>338164913
Serious Sam.
>>338168420
Max Payne 2 is by far the most solid entry in the series, be it bullet time or story or gunplay. Just be sure to bind and use the bullet-time that comes without diving, so you can activate it while running.

Like you, not him, but there's nothing wrong about taking a break from reality and indulge in things that make you happy. If you manage to make something of yourself, like get a job or whatnot, it's good to have something to de-stress yourself on the side. So much depression and suicide out there, why contribute to that?

that kind of experience made it one of my favorite boss fights of all time.
