  • Hmm, there are quite a few of those, I think. Let’s see.

    Bioshock reveal. A man chooses, a slave obeys.

    First time talking to Sovereign in Mass Effect, oh and the ending sequences from going through the Conduit and Sovereign attacking the Citadel, the Alliance fleet coming through. The cinematics and music were just so well done.

    D:OS2, fighting Alexander when Battle for Divinity starts playing. Or the end fight, with Sins and Gods. The soundtrack was a delight.

    The Witcher 3, the first time you arrive in Skellige, the landscape and the music, it just made me feel these things, it was beautiful.

    The Deep Roads in Dragon Age:Origins, when Hespith starts reciting her poem and the Broodmother afterwards. Oh dear lord, I still remember the first time I was there, it was so fucking creepy. “First day they come and catch everyone.” Truly superb.

    In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, when you’re forced to flee Skalitz, but you’re so incredibly noob that you can barely ride a horse, and you realize this game is different from many others, because you’re really just a nobody without any skills - and you’ll stay a nobody, pretty much. This entire game was a joy to me.

    There are also some games that are entire masterpieces, where I can’t really pick a single moment but the entire game would count, for example Disco Elysium, a true masterpiece. This game made me experience the entire rainbow of human emotions. Another example would be Deus Ex, which to me will never get old, however bad the graphics might be.

    Let’s stop here, before this turns into simply a list of my favorite games. :D




  • Ragnarok Online. Before the third jobs, and without donation items and high rates. I played on the kRO server for a while and afterwards for many years on a 5/5/3 private server. I still remember how it felt, the first time I played it. Never found anything like it again.

    Now, I’ve played a lot of amazing games and some of them really hit me in the feels, but this was the first MMORPG I played, ever. I was like what, 15? when I started playing and I played this game with the same people, for years. In the same guild, over Ventrilo, I knew these people. From all over the world, we’d even set alarms and such to make sure people were there when WoE started and half of us were sleeping due to time zones, or to make sure we could keep the MVP boss schedules. Some of us even met in real life, we talked off-game as well. We grew up together, quite literally, from teenager to adult. It’s not surprising it left such a mark, I guess. Nowadays… well I’ve tried MMO’s but it just isn’t like that anymore.

    I only have to listen to the soundtrack, music from Prontera or Amatsu, and boom, nostalgia!
