Paperboy  Posts: 18 Joined: 21 Feb 2008     | 1. Playing through the first grueling two hours ( yes, it took me two hours ) in Bug Island and realizing * SPOILERS START! * that I'd have to play the whole freaking game again and keep everybody alive. * Spoilers Finish! * Honestly, does anyone actually care about the spoilers to this game? You play the first half you've spoiled the second half for yourself anyway... 2. A really random, on-edge moment in Half-Life. Me and a friend were playing Decay, trying to figure out the whole ' send the carts across the lake of neon green sludge to progress and get killed ' puzzle and then, after realizing that you had to go to the other half of the room and press another button to send the teeny cart across the room for your friend, a jolly PMS Monster jumps on it in the middle on his merry way. Now I was the person waiting for the cart, so the thing scared the living shit outta me and I literally screamed ' FUCK! HAYLEY GET THIS FUCKING CART AWAY FROM MEEEEE! ' =3 |
Beat Writer  Posts: 204 Joined: 20 Feb 2008  | Half-Life 2 has more than its fair share. Let's see... In the first chapter, when you are surrounded by CPs who proceed to beat you down. Followed by "oh, yeah!" when Alyx takes them out. When Lamarr screws up the teleport. In Episode One, when the train crashes. When Alyx tries to turn on the elevator, and instead shorts out the power supply. Episode Two had plenty. Many of these were the preludes to epic battles. The first moment was when you retrieved the crowbar, causing the elevator to collapse. Later, when you are at the underground outpost, there were two "oh, shit" moments. The first was the false alarm, when what should have been a massive horde of antlions turns out to be a bunch of dead antlions and four vortigaunts. The second, shortly thereafter, was when all the tunnels lit up. That turned into an epic battle scene. I mean, yeah, there were like a million antlions, but those vortigaunts rocked! Running into the antlion guard in the tunnels, knowing that you couldn't kill it, was another "oh, shit" moment. When hunters ambush you and Alyx at the radio outpost, that was an "oh, shit" moment. At that time, I thought of hunters as mini-striders. I didn't know how to kill them. I was so relieved when my usual strategy (maximize DPS) worked. The Combine ambush at the White Forest Inn heralded another "oh, shit" moment and another epic battle. And finally the warning that there were about four striders coming at the end of the big strider battle was a worthy moment. Of course, I'm sure the Combine had their share of "oh, shit" moments. Namely, every time they realized they were up against Gordon Freeman. |

Reminds me of the bit in the very first Silent Hill, where you go into a room, and the phone just starts ringing, apropos of nothing. You pick it up, and it's your daughter, crying. The one you've been looking for in the town. Honestly, I had to pause it and go and have a sit down. In fairness though, thinking about it some more.... SPOILERS COD4, when the nuke goes off. Wow. THat was chilling, surprising and scary all at once. |

Chill Penguin? Dude, I gotta revoke your platforming license now. Sorry. Anyway, for me... Finding out that Polito commited suicide before you even started playing System Shock 2, so who was it that sent you those emails....OOOHHH SHHH- Resident Evil 4. First time facing...pretty much anything and everything. "Chainsaw? Oh shit!"(Double that when you realize that one attack from it will messily behead you) "Lord of the Rings cave troll? Oh shit!" "Giant bug-man on fire? Oh shit!" "Little napoleon dude in a plant? Eh, that's not so b-HE ONE-SHOTTED ME? OH SHIT!!!" Devil May Cry, the original, DMD difficulty: Three Shadows. The first one just devil triggered. The room's locked. Two words: oh... shit. |

EDF the shmup or EDF the 'Dynasty Warriors with guns'? 'Cause I thought EDF 2017 was too easy for that kind of moment. Anyway, my moment would be in Einhander. "Congratulations on winning the war, we will now betray and murder you." The first time I saw that I didn't know there was another level after that and all I could think was 'bastards...' Another great moment was ShadowRun on the SNES. When I had to kill Drake I thought he was just a corporate suit. Then one character told you (in a vague kinda way) that Drake is a dragon. But I thought he meant metaphorically. Then I actually fought Drake and yelled "Holy Shit! Dragon!" |

Watching Ugh-Zan III get bigger and bigger and bigger as he walks towards you in Serious Sam. Most of Condemned... the school level in particular, I genuinely started panicking when children started laughing in the distance and my vision started blurring. Granted I was in the habit of playing Condemned very late at night, in a recently redecorated room with no curtains... that really added some spicy je ne sais quoi to the proceedings. (Finding the body in the locker in the same level... I actually paused the game and put the controller down because I knew what was going to happen. Even so, the shock still gave me a swift de-pantsing.) |
Anonymous Source  Posts: 8 Joined: 3 Mar 2008 | The first time I ever played Resident Evil 4. I was just running happily along, not making any efforts to conserve ammo, cause I figured it would be like any other shooter...ammo everywhere. Anyway, make a long story short, I got to the first little village, went into the two story house, triggering the extra 11 villagers and the chainsaw maniac, and ran out of ammo with the chainsaw dude followed by a wall of villagers pouring through the window, with another group coming up the stairs... Well, you probably know how that one ended... |

I knew there was someone here who shares the same Metroid fear as I. Once you hear that sound, you just stop, look around, breathe, look around some more and then just stand there like if you don't want the Metroids to hear you breath. |

Stop! Hammertime! The hammer will keep them away from you. The hospital is a nice relaxed area because of it. Now, the School, on the other hand. Brrrr. Anyway, the biggest "Oh Shit" moment is in Ace Combat 6 mission 12. You get in, nice and quiet, and hit the target, and are told to bug out west as half the Estovakian airforce comes shouting and hollering behind you. And then the other half shows up in front of you, with jammer and ESM craft. And you're trapped in a 60-2 furball. |

Paperboy Posts: 14 Joined: 4 Feb 2008 | Best "oh... shit" moments I can think of: The scene near the end of FEAR when you need to shoot the girl as she walks toward you. It's a bad time to need to reload your pistol. Having to do the Test of Beauty in Hellgate: London. Pretty much any moment of Team Fortress 2. Seeing the Tigrex for the first time in Monster Hunter Freedom 2. |

As if his blood soaked body in SH3 wasn't bad enough they through this in just to mess with our heads. An honorable mention spot goes to RE2 for the first licker encounter . He may not have been much of an obstacle but watching him scuttle across a wall on the other side of window for the first time was unnerving. |

uhh, i don't know if any of you guys have seen this one, it only appears on one of the games in the series, and on the mission, you have to perfect it to get the boss battle... but anyways, here it goes... in armored core 3, silent line, I remember that you're doing some mission to test a new engine with a far superior capacity to fly around (quite alot like the motors in AC4) but anyways, you're flying around on four planes, doing some mediocre dodging and flying around, and then killing the droids, all for testing purposes, and when you ace the mission, out of FUCKING nowhere, comes this flying kill-you-machine monster of a war mech, with a cannon that flips up on top, and a shit load of vertical missile launchers... when that thing came out, and I was optimized for speed, nothing but some handguns, and a sniper rifle, with the lightest frame possible and jack for any armor... I was like... "O...M...G...no wai.... not fair.... "
