Subject: Most Jarring Video Game Moment

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

Simply put, what do you believe the most jarring moment in any video game is? I'd advise only picking one, choose wisely.

I would have to say Shepard's betrayal in MW2 was the most jarring. It came out of no where in the middle of a very intense mission, leading to the deaths of two characters you had grown to love. That moment is one of the only times I have ever gotten emotional over a video game. I was angry at Shepard and had a drive to kill him. I was sad that these two characters died after that in such an unexpected way. Price coming over the radio as the two were burned alive really sealed the deal for me, one of those help is too late moments. Heavy stuff for a game series most take for granted. Also as a side not destroying Infinity Ward was the most idiotic move Activision ever made.

I've got a fan!

I thought Shep's betrayel was obvious...just look at this guy. The burning scene was unexpected. On the CoD trail, the nuke gameplay from the first was pretty surprising.


However, dat Revan.

hmmm...
Yeah but one of those characters was a mute, and by this point you had already played 2 other character prior to playing as Roach.
As for Ghost, well, he was voiced by the same fella who voiced Gaz from the previous game, and wore a cool looking balaclava, that is as much development you get out of those 2.
I guess Ghost does save you a few times...

It was more the way his character had acted through the game. You had a trust for him, which for me at least made that an oh -blam!- moment. I had completely forgotten the nuke scene! That was pretty surprising as well. The scene after where you play as the guy..another sense of almost hope. Like I said, people can say what they will about COD, but they tell some great stories.

GTA IV when Roman was killed at his own wedding. As annoying as the guy was, I grew to love him.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

Yeah I forget what does it or which path causes it, but he can die or live.

Depends on the choice you make for the final deal. Either Roman or Kate dies. I've done both but I wasn't very attached to Kate so I didn't really care for that one.

Kate's the FBI girl right? She didn't die for me either I think, what is happening!

No Kate is Packie's sister. Did you even get to the mission during Roman's wedding?

The ending to World of Goo was unexpectedly moving.

I beat the game, but I don't think I ever did that mission.

I guess that I must have forgotten about everything from that game, all I remember was the bank robbery mission then the final one with the dirtbike.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Betraying the Darkbrotherhood because I was getting contracts to kill members of the Darkbrotherhood in Oblivion.

I want to say something from hitman absolution but the game just came out not too long ago.

Two makes there more than speakers.

Killing Zeke in inFAMOUS 2.
I never wanted it to end this way...

I'm not sure what you mean by jarring. But if sad could be considered jarring, Dom's death in Gears of War 3.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

Johnson :(

Also White Phosphorous from Spec ops was pretty grim.

I like those intense moments in the Mass Effect 3 DLC when you have to make a choice and the same Renegade trigger comes up like 3 times.
