The ending of Wolfenstein: The New Order where B.J sacrifices himself for the greater good and it bleeds into Melissa Hollick's cover of Chris Isaac's 'I Believe'. I didn't expect such feels from a Wolfenstein game.

I really only use lemmy on my phone, so I’m not coming with a screen shot, sorry. Plus it would be hard to capture the context in one screen especially if you haven’t played the game.
But The Siege of Yarikawa in ghost of Tsushima was an all time gaming moment for me. So much so that I knew it as it was happening and now I call my other awesome gaming moments Yarikawa moments.
The beginning of Saints Row 4 when you drive with Pierce to your first mission and they sing Opposites Attract together.
I love when Boss was with...I don't even remember who...but they were singing Biz Markie Just a Friend.
This hits even harder at the end of 4 when the entire cast is singing it (poorly) and towards the end all the other voices fade out and it's just Michael Clarke Duncan singing it out. For those who don't know, MCD was did the voice of Benjamin King, one of the main villains in the original Saints Row. He did some VA for SR4 but passed away early on and Terry Crews took over the role. Before he died, one of the things MCD was able to record was him singing Just a Friend.

I wish I could play that game again for the first time.Tap for spoiler
Gremio sacrificing himself to save Tir. The lack of hesitation Gremio had when acting to save Tir and the rest of the party, the way the loss destroyed Tir in that moment. The following scene playing out in complete silence as you finally pull yourself out of bed and face your responsibilities, your closest friends and companions offering support, condolences, and disbelief at the loss. Flik reminding you not to betray the expectations that Gremio had for you right before you make your way to the war room to prepare for battle with the one that killed Gremio. I always appreciated that it wasn’t a quick loss, it was given a little time to breathe and sink in, it had weight. The game also provides you the opportunity for vengeance or forgiveness.
That whole game was so wonderful. The music, the base building, the slow discovery of everything you can do, all of it.
Batman (NES)... I recall there was precisely one place in the whole game where you had to press the "down" button, and it hit me like a dead-end. More impactful than super-metroid's noob-bridge, as i had advance warning for that one.
Dameon Clarke fucking killed it at the end of Borderlands 2. No screenshot because spoilers
"YOU'RE a savage. YOU'RE a maniac. You are a bandit, and I AM THE GODDAMN HERO!"
The hotdogs bit from Split Fiction.
A little one I'll neve forget is playing Jedi Outcast and you're doing battle with the 2nd in charge, Tavion. Keep in mind I was high af playing this, but after you defeat her you're holding her up and force choking her off the side of Cloud City. And she starts singing like a canary. The part that hit hard (again stoned out of my mind) was the person who was hell bent on killing you and leading to darkness which could cause the deaths of thousands and subjugation of millions says...because I'm not brave enough to die!
