The unofficial "Coolest moments" thread.
InsideOut:
Half of the cutscenes in DMC3 are in my top 10 coolest videogame moments of all time. Some of the stuff they did was amazing, and it only gets better when you unlock the movie of the Japanese actors motion capturing for the scenes.
The opening scene of Final fantasy VIII is up there too, since it was such a jump forward compared to anything that had been seen before.
The opera house scene in FFVI will always have a place in my memory too.
More recently, capturing the Ace of Clubs alive in Mercenaries was amazingly fulfilling. a great, and very difficult, mission.
Areckahn:
Best moments ever?
1)A random bit of the campain in Dawn of War, having a Dreadnaught beat up a squad of eldar, and with the finishing blow, throughing about 4 of them through the window of a wrecked cathedral.
2) The "TIMMY" bit in Giants: Citizen Kabuto
3) The Collosus being blown up in Freespace 2.
4) Evertime I kill somebody in HL2: DM by throwing their plasma grenade back at them :)
Digs:
Is there an official coolest moments thread?
Switchblade:
Well, seeing as I'm not a mod or admin of any description, I couldn't very well call it the official one, now could I?
Oh, I was playing a DoW skirmish last night - my space marines, the Storm Falcons, Versus Chaos - the Disciples of Brax'ar. It's towards the end of the battle, both sides have a relic apiece, but I'm holding a massive chunk of the map, and am really putting the squeeze on the other side's relic, when the AI summons the bloodthirster onto the field right in the middle of my force.
This in itself is no huge concern - it's facing off, solo, against eight tactical squads, a terminator squad, both commanders, four apothecaries, four dreadnoughts, two predators and a Land Raider. It goes down pretty quickly.
the nice thing is, my Force Commander gets the killing blow in - which triggers this fantastic animation sequence, where he ducks under the 'thirster's legs, runs up it's back, and smacks it in the back of the head twice with that honking great hammer of his. The 'Thirster, stunned, falls on it's face, the FC rides it's head down, jumps off, turns around, and delivers this massive overhead swing straight into the fucker's brain pain that mashes it's head. The 'thirster twitches, and then goes still, before dissolving.
I just sat there and gawped through the whole sequence.
The other really cool sequence is in a one-on-one fight between the Bloodthirster and the Avatar of Khain. Assuming both start off on full HP, the 'thirster will usually win, and the victory animation is really sweet. they fence, axe versus sword, and the Avatar turns to do this huge double-handed swing, which the 'thirster ducks, stands up, and decapitates the Avatar with a neat swing of his axe. The Avatar just collapses in a pile of ash and the 'Thirster turns around to hunt his next prey
I love that game.

Either when Dante lifts himself of Alastar after being impaled by it in Devil May Cry or getting a boss Heart Container in any Legend of Zelda game, you feel like you earned it, yet you want more!
