A snazzy title is literally all it takes for me.

Shadow Hearts?

My. Fucking. NIGGERS.

The moment when i started learning more about GS in MHFU and realized charges where something you could use very often rather than a gimmick type thing.

>You walk down into Japan

>when you learn how to fuck up a Tigrex with GS Charge
Priceless

>main character is pushed to the wall
>goes berserk in a sense
>absolutely takes everyone by surpise and unleashes a force to be reckoned with
oh baybee yes pls

>play shitty jrpg with whored out female protagonist
>you get to be the shota

> SURF THE WEB SURF THE WEB

The final fight against Ilias in MGQ
The theme, four heavenly knights appearing, the flashback for all villages around the world fighting against the angels and the fuckign build up throughout the game.
I really did like this game before this fight, but after this fight i can safely say that i fucking love Monsumu Quest.

>Playing Haunting Ground
>character gets groped by Daniella while sleeping
>Daniella says she is not complete
>Bashes her head into a window several times until it shatters, then takes a broken piece of glass
>Proceeds to chase me all over with it
>Find her later and she's just cleaning
>Interact her and she calmly says "it's cleaning time now," then goes back to cleaning
>Chases me again later while acting even more manic
>Find her cleaning again and she gives me a necessary item, then goes back to cleaning
That's when I realized Haunting Ground was my favorite game. The team managed to make a psychotic character, without making her either silly or an edge-master. The puzzles in the game were perfect, too.

>You had me under a gun... yet you just walk away? No monster alive turns the other cheek. No monster does that. A thinking man does that.

Actually forget this post the moment I fell in love was when I got the drill dash.

>When you are ten years old and play Half Life for the first time.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sheer wizardry from the resonance cascade sequence?

>Playing Pokémon
>A wild Ralts appeared!

>a survival mechanic exclusive to one area made me fall in love with the whole game

Fighting cops on the streets of Tokyo was when Kane and Lynch went from a fun homage to Michael Mann films to 'holy shit I'm playing Heat.'
