Favourite/Memorable Video Game Moments (Spoilers)

Pics/video are preferred, but textual description is awesome too.

Cutscenes, boss fights, epic dialogue, post it all here!

I'll leave it up to the poster's discretion as to whether or not spoiler tags are required; though imo, games that have been released for more than 12 months are fair game.

Red Dead Redemption Spoilers

 

The sadness of this heightened by the fact that the last half dozen missions you actually spend with John Marston's wife and son herding cattle and rising horses etc. All John Marston wanted was to forget his old past as an outlaw and move on with his family but as the game proved he could simply not escape his past, forced to hunt down his former gang across America/Mexico as federal agents had kidnapped his family. He was a lot more likable as a Rockstar game free roam character as someone who has someone to fight for and reasoning to go on a murdering rampage, it's devastating he couldn't see his son grow up, as he ends up an outlaw, thee very thing John didn't want

Batman Arkham City had an awesome Boss fight in new games plus (it means ultra hard mode) whereby the boss ( Mr Freeze)actually changed techniques and the environment so that and takedown move you used ( a silent takedown for instance) would only work once then you would have to use a new move to take more of his health away, you had to come up with a dozen different moves to finish the guy , all the while he is tracking your footprints! a very smart boss he doesn't go down by doing the same move over and over again, like most other bosses. Epic battle/moment

My favourite boss of all time comes from the original Metal Gear Solid - Psycho Mantis. For the first time ever a game creator utilised the power of the console in a new and interesting way. Pyscho Mantis could read your mind and always be one step ahead of you in the fight. The trick was to pause the game and switch your controller from Port 1 to Port 2. All of a sudden Psycho Mantis couldn't read your mind anymore and was then easily defeated.

It was a brilliant idea and well executed. The first few times you played it, you couldn't figure out what was going on. But when he keeps repeating "I can read your mind", a lot of people then figured out the trick. Then again, some people just waited for a Tips & Tricks mag to come out and read the solution and I think spoiled the thrill of figuring it out for themselves.

But anyway, GREATEST BOSS EVER!

Stinger. The MGS games were the best for that. Depending on what saves you had on your memory card he'd name drop games you've been playing.

In MGS3 there was this old sniper called The End now he was a pretty epic boss in itself. Yet earlier in the game you can see him on a deck & if you pull out your sniper rifle & take him out a few hours early. Completely skipping the boss battle. Or during the boss battle if you saved & left the game for a week he would just die of old age!

Fucking brilliant.

The Raven fake out in MGS2 was pretty awesome as well for mind tricks.

I'd never heard of Lana Del Rey until you and KaLL had that indie bitch fight. I would have liked to keep it that way.
