I re-watched some scenes from videogames that I loved and still love the most, until a certain idea crawled into my mind. I would like to know what gaming-experiences you all have. Feel free to share the most memorable moments, be it something extremely funny, something awkward, something very sad or just really cool. Also, it would be cool to know the reason why you like certain scenes, if it is not obvious :>
Here are a few of mine:
Here are a few of mine:
- The giraffes in "The Last of Us"
Reason:
- Cristina Vespucci's death in "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood"
Reason:
- Ezio speaking to Desmond at the end of "AC: Revelations"
Reason:
- The ending of "Valiant Hearts"
Reason:
- "The Walking Dead Season 2", Kenny's ending.
Reason:
- "GTA 5", Michael's character-trailer.

Reason:
The real beauty in this scene lies within the context.
After everything Joel and Ellie have been through in this game, especially after Ellie's experience with the cannibals, it is just beautiful to see them as witnesses of such a calm, peaceful situation. The giraffes symbolize the little bit of beauty and hope that you can still find between the debris of the apocalyptic, violent world.

- Cristina Vespucci's death in "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood"
Reason:
Again, you need the context for this scene.
When you see or play the memory-missions about Cristina, you learn how she and Ezio first met, became a couple and then had to go seperate ways because Ezio slid into the life of an assassin. Yet, their love for each other never expired. And then, when they met again after many years that passed, she dies in his arms, telling him that she always loved him. That broke my heart when playing this game, no, the Ezio-trilogy in general.

- Ezio speaking to Desmond at the end of "AC: Revelations"
Reason:
I freaking love this speech. Ezio is one of my most favorite characters of all time in any media.. and after playing 3 games with him as a protagonist, this scene was pure gold. You know, first, Ezio discovers the corpse of Altair (the legendary protagonist of the first AC-game), then retires from his life as an assassin, realizing that he was only a conduit for a message that had nothing to do with him or his life. Doesn't change the fact that he had such an amazing character-development. He started from being a vengeful teenager and became a very wise and spiritual man who dedicated his life to the fight for freedom and justice.
- The ending of "Valiant Hearts"
Reason:
While the entire game is sad and hard to swallow, the ending destroyed me completely when I first saw it. And it brings me to tears every single time I watch it. The music does carry the emotions brilliantly, from an artistic point of view and maybe the true story behind the letters in this game affects the feelings even more. Everyone who didn't watch or play the game should catch up on it. A brilliant game.
- "The Walking Dead Season 2", Kenny's ending.
Reason:
When you play through the game, you easily get the idea that Kenny isn't a good person. He surely did bad things, but in an apocalyptic scenario like this, you have to adjust the standards. But deep down inside he is a good person and you will see it in the video above. After all he has been through, after everything he lost in his life, he is willing to give himself up to save two children. He deeply wants them to live a better life, with friends and safety. TellTale did an amazing job here and I can't wait for TWD to continue.
- "GTA 5", Michael's character-trailer.
Reason:
Not gonna lie, GTA 5 is one of the best games I've ever played and probably ever will. It's a fantastic game and I really enjoy the character "Michael". In my opinion, he is the best elaborated character in the entire series and he has the perfect balance of comedy and seriousness. Playing this game was a big pleasure.
