Whats your most memorable gaming moment?

filmoret · April 2016

Over the years played lots of games there's always something in a story that sticks out. So lets hear it.

Final Fantasy 5 , Aerais dies
Final Fantasy 9, The ending was awesome
Knights of the old Republic, When you find out you are Revan.

SPOILER METAL GEAR V

Metal Gear Solid V, When Quiet talks to save your life knowing she will never see you again because of it.

Trying hard to remember scripted stories and actually struggling.

Stories from RP'ing in games would be another matter as I could probably write essay's.

And nope, still unable to think of a memorable scripted story that sticks with me while writing...

I'm not proud of it, but it was stealing bolts of cloth in Ultima Online using a glitch in the system (not cool now that I'm grown).
My ultimate favorite was playing WoW as a Night Elf with my son, and confronting 3 horde on the road near Maestras Post. It was like the second day of the games release and both parties took off in opposite directions! That moment hooked me, and is the warm fuzzy everyone talks about in gaming.

For me it is when i finished Suikoden 2. That game is pretty much entirely a huge unforgettable memory.

Marathon: Durandal: "The candles burn out for you; I am free."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387381/quotes

From the level "Never Burn Money"; for some odd reason I remember reading that line very vividly while playing the game. I must have been 14.

The last level in the Halo campaign, playing co-op with my brother; realizing that the Pillar of Autumn is about to explode and we have to get out of here, taking that Warthog through the obstacle course with Covenant closing in from all sides... it's every sci-fi movie trope ending from Alien to Sphere, but Halo pulls this off very well.

edit: the Marathon quote is actually from "Colony Ship For Sale, Cheap", and I've just learned that game was designed by a pair who met at my alma mater where I attended, four years after playing the game. Weirdly cool!

Finally beating Final Fantasy part 1 only to see the awesome ending that just said " The End ".

i was pissed....

Good memory, Logging into Asherons Call for the first time and actually seeing other players running around in the same online world. that was so amazing to me, and actually looking at the sky and seeing stars and planets/moons and the sun rotate around the world. blew my mind that a video game could do that.

Back when WoW was fun I would use invisibility pots and shadow meld to infiltrate Orgramar on my NE Hunter. I would then proceed deep into the city, right outside the door way where people would go to quere up for AV and stuff.

My attacks were timed very carefully as not to provoke the patrol that could detect stealth rooms from a distance. This almost always turned into a massive hunt in the city for that damn NE Hunter that's ganking doods again.it was hella fun and I actually had people bitching about me on the Archimonde server forum. Lol

Way before I was doing the above I would always camp the Horde flight path in EPL which would also always turn into a huge fight at some point thanks to my harassment.

Thoes were the most fun and memorable times I have had, in online gaming atleast.

In Age of Conan there was this command that let the client see their name instead of the command, I think it was @name, so @name would be replaced with the name of the player behind the keyboard. You can imagine the confusion and hilarity of people just logging in and thinking everyone is talking about them.

...

Since I play for the story, there are way too many awesome ones

and the longer I think, the more "sticks out", so I just drop here the first few ones without any order:

Faith in Dreamfall. As much as I love TLJ, the story arch of Faith is maybe Ragnar's best writing. When you first see her room... it still gets me.

Shadow of Memories when you have all the endings and get the final one...
(lol, just checked the wiki... nowadays it'd be such a flop especially here on mmorpg.com peeps, with all those gameplay-addicted comments and views floating around...
two quotes from the wiki: David Zdyrko called the story "one of the deepest and most engaging that has ever been told through a videogame."[2]
And: Critics commented on the general absence of action in the gameplay.[1][2][3][15] Sanders considered it the game's greatest flaw and a possible source of frustration for players.[15] heh-he

)

From MMOs it's either Narmeleth in LotRO, or something from TSW (Ragnar ftw

). Let's say Black House.

edit: two more, Therese and Jeanette from Bloodlines, and CO's Vibora Apocalypse.

1981, while playing Dungeons and Dragons....a player told a Genie to "Kiss his ass".
So I picked up the Genie miniature put its mouth on the player's miniature's butt, and started making kissing sounds.
Oh you mean PC games?!?
There have been none.

I don't think computer games are a very good medium for telling stories, on the whole I find the writing to be of pretty mediocre quality and the stories are almost always invalidated by player actions (for example, playing an RPG as an evil guy, killing everyone, but being forced to be good as part of the story).

So, there is really very little that stands out for me story wise.

However, games are the perfect medium for creating your own, personal stories, and it is these I remember most.

So, most memorable gaming moment for me is my guilds first kill of Thaurlach, a balrog who is the final boss of The Rift raid in LotRO. I'd casually played SWG, but LotRO was my first push into more hardcore gaming. I was raid leader, I was dedicated and the group of people in my guild was just awesome. The fight itself remains one of my favourite bosses in all games and the 12 of us who did it were all good friends. Fight itself took 30mins or so, we'd been attempting to clear it for 6 weeks so when the kill finally came, we were all ecstatic! We followed up the kill by all heading to the Prancing Pony for drinks.

Warlyx · April 2016

lots of memorables , finishing CoP in FFXI maybe..... but i will never forget , when i was high level enough to charm the huge spider on EQ (terrorantula) :chuffed: , i leveled enchanter just for that :P

Finvega · April 2016

My first MMORPG... Asheron's Call, 2001. I had been having trouble connecting with standalone pc games as I never finished them, and someone suggested AC1. I logged into Holtburg, saw all the people running around, all of the crazy chat, and I felt that "other" dimension that mmorpg's have: Community.

I knew instantly I was home.

Boudewijns · April 2016

mine was in swg, was in a nuetral guild and was farming to get a sith , an was talking to the guild leader and he suddenly said "Darkom, rise (or someting similar, but sure it was a quote from one of the sw movies)", man that gave me goosebumbs like crazy

My most memorable moment was in my first game of Junta. I had just gained 19 banana dollars when I killed a character and the rules stated I had to put it in the bank location on the next turn or I would lose it. I had made a big deal out of counting that money out for all to see. When it was time to place our characters location (it is secret, you have a counter for each location) the minister "suggested" that I make sure to get the money in the bank. After we placed our character, I laughed that the minister and told him I didn't fall for that. Then he reminded me of the money lost rule. I acted like I didn't remember them talking about the rule before the game. So someone pointed it out in the rule book. So I looked at my money stack and rotated the 19 banana dollars so you could see it.

So, I had to spend the turn with everyone bringing out all their assassination cards and guessing my location. On the last assassination attempt available, the minister had to choose between my character being at the mistress or the bank. He said mistress and I turned my secret choice over to reveal I was in the bank. Everyone went nuts and although I didn't win the game, it was fun.

Riding a horse to Angmar for the first time in LOTRO :-) the music and the overall atmosphere darkened and I was drooling.

Solarstriker · April 2016

Doing the respec trial in City of Heroes, saving the city from nuclear reactor meltdown, and having your powers and enhancement slots mutate because of it (thus respecing the char).

Unlocking Jedi in SWG.

The opening of AQ 40 event (WoW).

Iwaylo · April 2016

Site is mmorpg.com so i'll be talking about MMORPG expirience.
Holding rank 1 in 3v3, doing realm first lk25hc, rs25hc and in general all the fights i had against top 2v2/3v3/5v5 teams.
This is why WoW is legendary and there is no WoW killer they had really nice competative active arena pvp.

Being top1 archer and top3 arena for a season in Tera plus clearing all the possible content and earning the hardest to earn gear at the time Nightforge oh and leading the Alliance wars! :proud: .

These are few things that i will never forget, there's memorable moment in every mmorpg i played (for more than a month duh), but i was supposed to mention only 1 thing anyway Lol it'll end up a brag fest on my part.

Righteous_Rock · April 2016

Lich King kill, then I quit and everyone was like but what about progression? I was like who cares, then I danced naked in Dalaran and never raided again.I had pugged into this group, on my 4th try we down the king. He was the whole reason I had even bought the game. Saw a cinematic on espn, was like wow im getting that, a few months later, I finally got the kill. What's funny is all the other teams guilds, they keep trying to kill him week in and week out, some people tried more than 100 times. When I pugged in, the group had 50 attempts already. It might sound like, well you got carried, but I actually provided the feedback to get us into the next phase twice. That moment was when the mystery of being a raider was taken from me, I now did not see it as anything special, nor did I see hardcore gaming as anything special. The wind had left my sails, mystery solved.

Too late, your post already is a brag fest, might as well keep rolling
