    I always liked that level in Flashback where you have to get the terminal card installed before the place blows up - exciting!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    the hole size of shenmue 2 has blown me away thus far,still havent finished it
    and i remember playin this game,forget which console for "another world" at the start had to run away from a puma or sumthin,great game....


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    Deus Ex 2 has too much to put in but saving it at a point near the end then doing each of the alternative ways to end the game.. thats real cool!

    BG2 has some great ones but more memorable was Planescape Torment.. the story and style of play was top class RPG.. having to find your identity, interacting and conversing with your party members and being able to switch class on the fly!


  • Registered Users Posts: 78,400 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    • CS - Wasting six guys in a row 'shotgun style' with an AWP at close range. Fainting from nervous exhaustion afterwards.
    • DoD - Frustrated, running like a mad thing down the centre of the street from one end of the map to the other on 'Caen', capturing all the flags by myself (other than flag 1).
    • Red Alert - Being pulversied into the ground, but for 4 war factories and spending 30 minutes looking for a construction base, then putting 150 tanks into seomones base.

    My favourtie moment is the appearence of the first sathanas in freespace2 or the colossus being destroyed.My favourite evironment is all of thief and system shock 2.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 958 ✭✭✭Mark


    Mark1million... eh at first i did not get you but do you mean you dont know about the different endings?

    Oh fudge!
    Right I thought you were talking about the sequel but I now see you were using the 2 to say something else. Just dont write "Deus Ex 2 " please without clearly explaining what you mean for us Deus Ex addicts.

    Anyway I got the 4 endings and I must say the 4th secret one is a tad...odd


  • Posts: 2,874 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Final Fantasy 7: Getting a golden chocobo.
    Final Fantasy 7: Getting Knights of the round.
    Final Fantasy 7: Beating the ruby weapon (Emerald was a tad easy)
    Final Fantasy 7: Getting the High Wind (the music 0wn3d)
    Counter-Strike: Getting my 1st triple HE kill :)

    Hmm nothing else atm. Roll on FFX!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,335 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    I'm surprised noone has said the obvious
    FF7, end of CD1 (Nuff said)
    yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,682 ✭✭✭chernobyl


    Ridge Racer :-the first play and realising sony were not all bs about the things that the station1 could do.

    Final Fantasy 7:- [edit] The Whole Aeris Thing [/edit]

    Tomb Raider:-first time in the Cistern and being completely blown away by TR graphics.


    too many...


    (Removed your FF7 spoiler. Dunno if there's anyone here who hasn't played it yet, but better safe than sorry... - Shinji)


    yawn....im sure you have protected thousands from absolute disaster...my god..one moment in the game, 2 seconds of game time out of 40+hours...
    And it really was a huge spoiler considering the game is 5/6 years old..etc ect.
    go back to work shinji.

    Just to elaborate on the points on Another World...that game was class!

    Cool Moment: :cool:
    At the end of Another World, the main character is knocked uncouncious (either that or he's killed!) and the guy who was helping the character all through the game, picks him up and then hops on some big bird and flys away...classic! just like a film!

    Cool Moment part 2: :cool:
    fighting ganon at the end of Zela : ocarina of time. He wasn't even that hard, but the cool aspect of hopping to the side, blocking with your shield, fighting valiantly...classic moment! One of the best.

    dont write "Deus Ex 2 " please without clearly explaining what you mean for us Deus Ex addicts.

    Sorry i see what you mean, dont know how that 2 got in there... typo.. sorry (or some evil moderator.. mwuhahaha!)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    Favourite parts in games...

    hmmmmmmm........

    The REAL end of Bubble Bobble (secret road not, level 99).

    Half-Life - spotting the Administrator all along the way - I knew it was leading up to something...

    Must agree with Mark1Millions Deus Ex, escape from MJ12 base and coming out into you know where and smaks, filling the jars in Wizball. Finishing Wizball was even better (me as Wiz and my brother as the Cat).

    Areas:
    Max Payne when you're going through the V trips - it frightened me a lot.
    Also, running through the burning building was fun.
    (Max is relativly fresh in my head)


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    Max payne had some great moments! Like when you get stuck in a room and then a whole rake of goons break in.. i had only a tiny but of life yet and refused to go back to a previous save point! So stayed at it until i killed them all while staying alive..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 725 ✭✭✭pat kenny


    The FMV intro to xenogears was brilliant but the game was a bit of a let down.

    The beach attack in FF8 was very cool but again the game as a whole was a bit of a let down.

    Clouds flashbacks in FF7 were all brilliant,problly the best parts of any game ever.

    Silent hill ,when you go through the clock tower at the school.

    Going into the chapel in anti-gravity in System Shock 2.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,335 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    Jebus, those V-trips in MP were quite quite freaky alright :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭Swifty


    FF7 - That FMV scene where that weapon thing wakes up.
    FF9 - The FMV with the huge white wings.
    Max Payne - Switching into Bullet time for the first time :D
