The end of chapter 6 in RDR2, pretty much the entire final mission but especially the final scene on the mountainside.

Sending Floyd to his death in Planet Fall.
A fair warning, that mine is “political” in some respects.
The 3 final enemies in Another Crab’s Treasure. I say “enemies” not bosses because two of them wish you no harm, and the last one isn’t capable of fighting back. But beating them feels so damn right and deserved.
Tap for spoiler
The final boss (not a human) is a capitalist who genuinely wants to help the denizens of the ocean, but believes in doing so via mass pollution and business investment. The final enemy is the person who stole Kril’s shell, and after hours of trying to earn it his way and getting nowhere, you literally just kill him in cold blood to take it back.
The game definitely read as “Haha funny Spongebob Dark Souls parody” and at many times it is silly; but that often disarms you for the moments of pure character writing and active worldly commentary. I’d even say with the level of ethereal, unreadable high fantasy many Souls games use, it’s probably the best written Soulslike. I described the savage bits but there’s some heartfelt moments too.
Assassin’s Creed 2:
“It’s-a me, Mario!”
"It's a good life we lead, Luigi."
"The best. May it never change."
"And may it never change us."
Goosebumps every time. I'll never forgive Bowser for what happened.
Beyond Good & Evil, lighthouse arc
Someone asked about best games and I said ff10. Part of it was squares graphics compared to anything at the time were just on another level. The whole opening scene blew everyone away that I know at the time and same with some other scenes in the game right up to the reveals about some of the characters existence. So really great story combined with next level graphics in a very story centric game.
The fight with The Boss in Rokovoj Bereg in Metal Gear Snake Eater.
Before, she opens up about herself like never before, and after... well, shit.
The ending of "A Plague Tale: Requiem".
Walking into this in the first Watch_Dogs. (NSFW. Very much so.)
If you take the time to interact with all the hackables and scan all the people in this area you'll have revealed to you the incredible depths of depravity and cruelty going on here. It is incredibly fucked up. It was at this very moment in my first and only playthrough that I decided that no, fuck that. Aiden Pierce was now going to be murdering a lot of very specific people.
"Business must proceed."
Yeah, that was pretty memorable. Like, it was pretty strongly implied but so much worse than expected.
Edit: oh! And the music as you slowly turn on the generators for The Bunker was the perfect amount of mysterious and exciting! Loved that part of the game
Super Mario Bros 1, I pretended Superb Mario was the Pony Express and had to deliver mail ASAP.
Made me realise what metagaming and speedrunning was.
Elden Ring the first time the tiny knights attacked me
The end of MGS2 was a prophecy.
The ending to crisis core. Even just watching it on YouTube makes me tear up every time
When the alien breaks into your spaceship in "Rescue on Fractalus".
Waka waka
When King Regis says, "Walk tall, my son". I break down crying everytime. Like how Cornelius needs to cry at the Testicular Cancer meetings, I use FF15 to cry. Such a sad tale of roadtrips and youth and friends.
