Games are geared towards stories, nowadays. What moment in a game made you feel like " damn that's some real shit?"
The final boss of Demon Souls 5 - 3 Maiden Astraea, she kills herself after you defeat her companion (who you have to defeat in order to get to her). Of course the argument could be made that her companion is the real final boss, but of course thats not the point. The point is that video games have set expectations for boss fights, especially final boss fights, and having them commit suicide over something you have done as you approach them isn't one of them.

Thats the real shit.

Also the recontextualisation of your achievements and actions in Nier's New Game +

every moment of velvet's development and anxiety in tales of berseria. having a single heroic bsod is so 2000s, it's not a real jrpg unless you have at least three panic attacks

the penultimate boss of xenosaga 3... (HUGE MASSIvE SPOILERS)

...is the protagonist, who goes back on everything she's worked towards because her boyfriend asked her to. she only comes back around when the guy who's actually stuck by her side for three games tells her she's being selfish af

fun fact: you can steal one of her costumes from her.


edit: added a fun fact to the spoiler tag

That final boss killing herself sounded awesome
Suikoden 2's Luca Blight battle.

You assign 18 of your elite fighters to fight with that monster of a human being. Like that's not enough your army of archers on the back fires hundreds of arrow at him. Even in his last moments, it feels like that's not enough to bring down that monster... I don't know how to feel about this victory, it was pretty scary.

I can already imagine that on the first scene with Luca... ehm...
Spec Ops: The Line. Anyone who has played that game should be able to guess what scene I'm talking about.

Games with live action footage get pretty "Real."

Beat me to it.

I'm more leaning towards the end of the game, when all the pretty little lies I'd been telling myself about "I just want to fix this. I can fix this" come crashing down and I came to the realization that intentions mean exactly jack shit.

It was a hell of a ride.

The Akzeriuth scene in Tales of the Abyss. When the game itself points to a character and says "You know what? Fuck that guy."

Awhile back playing Doom 2 the Suburbs level on like ultra violent (?) listening to Killswitch Engage and on this level a big horde of enemies spawn and for a few minutes straight it was a very intense fight toe to toe until I had to fall back to safety.

I'll never forget it!
