As a player of every Assassins Creed game (including 3DS, PSP and Switch versions) I agree 100% with the above comments. Sadly the newer games have their "ohhh shit!" moment in the trailers 😩😩
I thought odyssey was kinda oh shit with the ending unlocking a side mission leading to more hidden main missions with you fighting Isu defence mechanisms to destroy the gate of Atlantis before Abstergo can claim its power and dominate the world. Also revealing that kassandra ending up living for like 2.5 millennia throughout every ac game. Also the prophecy that order must be maintained by an endless war (which ends up becoming assassins vs Templar’s) and that kassandra has to spend her life maintaining the balance. I low key hope kassandra puppeteers the assassins whilst a second immortal who she works alongside sets up the Templar’s in Valhalla
@@tommyhickin4669 no offence but having Kassandra secretly puppeteering the war all this time is probably the worst idea I've heard. The ending of Odyssey was trying to mimic the ending of Revelations but it fails because these characters, Layla, Kassandra, they don't have the same development or personal connection that Desmond, Ezio and Altair had, they weren't even good characters to begin with (I don't care about novel Kassandra) so giving Kassandra of all people what is arguably the most important role in the series would be insulting to say the least. Odyssey had ideas but their execution was terrible and quite frankly ludicrous at some points.
They don't talk to each other. It's just a representation, Desmond isn't there he is in Ezio because he's reliving it. They just show what's happening in Ezio's head and he knows about him and his name because of the apple
The bioshock twist is obviously great but honestly one of my favorite video game moments ever has to be when you first see the city of rapture in the elevator. That was definitely holy shit worthy.
Mass Effect 2's prologue. The Normandy getting obliterated within minutes by the Collectors. Shepherd being flung into a planet's atmosphere as he/she loses consciousness from asphyxia. It really set the tone of the game.
@@Werhgrjdtvrykum i played the ME2 right after ive completed the first, and that moment hit me because all that ive done with the ship and the crew and sudendly everything blows up :O
@@alwynmalan1 the mistake I made was that I tried to go right from Origins to Odyssey. The game play styles are very similar so I got a bit bored of Oddyssey. I’ll def go back to it. Just needed a break.
I remember playing Bioshock the first time. My girlfriend was watching and was like "why is your character just running and doing everything that voice says...?" I was like it's a game you always go for the missions. FML SHE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG :p.
And the thing was, right about when I got to that point, I was really starting to wonder, "Why am I doing all of this? What was the point?" The we get the big reveal...
To be fair, she probably would have said the same thing in regards to just about any game... “why you doing everything they tell you?” She just got lucky...
The introduction to the flood in Halo: CE completely changed how the game felt mechanically and emotionally. I wouldn't rate it it high on the list but I feel its worth mentioning.
The best thing is that Bungie and Microsoft never teased it in any way, which made its introduction even more of a shock. I'd also say Halo in general has a lot of amazing moments. One of my favorites is the Forward Unto Dawn landing in Halo 3, seeing the ship approaching from orbit, flying in over your head and blowing away everything that isn't nailed down with epic music to go along with the spectacle in front of you... I wish more games did stuff like that in gameplay and not in cutscenes, because the sense of scale and weight in that scene was all around amazing. Even seeing the Infinity, a 6 KILOMETER long ship, crashing in Halo 4 didn't feel nearly as impactful. It looked cool, sure, but it didn't FEEL as cool.
The very first moment when you get in the warthog on the second mission and see just how vast the land is. I think that was my first childhood tear of joy 😂
All of these were awesome, but the moment in KOTOR when Revan takes off their mask and it's you. Then it replays all of the moments you should have caught the first time, it really got me when I was younger.
My there favorite are (in no order)... 1. Halo CE: The first encounter with the Flood 2. KOTOR: The Revan reveal. "Recognize that you were once the Dark Lord..." 3. Mass Effect: Speaking with Sovereign. "You exist beacause we allow it, and you will end becasue we demand it."
Man, I forgot what it was like the first time you encounter the Flood in Halo CE. I got the xbox with Halo CE day one after saving up for a long time, and read so much about it before that day. So I thought I knew everything about it, and it just blew my teenage mind back then. Definitely should have made the list.
All of these! On ME3 you felt so helpless with the rest of your crew, I still cant play the game again after i did the first time. The Revan reveal should have made #1 on this list. and the flood... no words !!
I literally still get goosebumps when talking to sovereign! I play the original me trilogy at least once every couple or months.... usually 3 times a year xD and yes I play them all from start to finish again and again xD xD (yes I know I'm weird xD)
In the last of us when Henry shoots himself after his brother turns. I literally sat there in disbelief for like 5 minutes trying to process what happened.
The cutscenes in The Last Of Us were top notch. They really got you involved. You could relate to many of the people and understand their sorrow and their decisions. It all made perfect sense. It was super realistic
unfortunately the controversy it stirred up ruined the mystique for me, it would have been amazing to go in not knowing that was gonna happen im kind of envious of you
I didnt know about the controversy around the game when it came out and played this mission blind. Was different but its just a game so I was okay with it. Was great fighting in America tho
I had played Postal, Carmageddon and Fallout before so it didnt really have the shock value for me, I just found it dumb and realized the "twist ending" before it happened. It ruined an otherwise great game.
Boring, that scene had literately 0 shock value to me. i find it funny how we play grand theft auto and going on a mass killing spree, blowing up cars and ambulances and shit, but "no russian" apparently is a bit too much. bunch of pansies.
Not to mention the moment where the almost useless Battle Rifle is actually effective here all while the Combat Pistol is suddenly useless against the infectious horde.
SchoolTerrorist somehow someway you gotta find a way to play most wanted and underground 1 & 2. I literally stopped playing nfs games after those because it was never the same.
@@imchaotix5450 ugh, I tired. I tried so hard to get into the new ones ( Rivals, NFS 2015, and Payback) but everything after Most Wanted and Carbon just didn't have the same atmosphere to it. I did play pro Street and had a ton of fun playing that one even though it was a lot different. But the new ones just fell flat. Nothing to do with the mechanics as far as i can tell but idk.
I said holy sh*t when i realised Ezio thought he was gonna be special but i bet he got well depressed when he realised he was just a messenger for desmond but i love how he gets over the fact and begins to search for altairs tomb and literally talks to desmond knowing he is watching thats some great holy sh*t moments right there
I remember playing fallout 3 for the first time, I was left speechless for about 5 minutes running around all giddy and excited about playing my first fallout game, been in love with the series ever since
It was amazing!! We done it with smiles on our faces!.. weird that at the time it didnt feel that bad tbh, obviously it was but just seemed to be part of a game not a big thing, but then again you only hear of these complaints, never actually first hand lol
As a long time fan of this channel I don't know if anyone's gonna see this comment. But this is probably their best top 10 they ever made. Not only did they have every banger from the 2 thousands. Is but the explanations are exactly spot on.
Unfortunately my buddy spoiled that for me... He's always been an xbox guy and I was talking about how awesome the new GOW was (probably not even halfway through the game at that point) and he said "yeah I watched a bunch of highlights online... pretty cool that you eventually get the blades of chaos back" and I just blankly stared at him until he said "damn you haven't gotten to that part yet have you...."
KOTOR end was the biggest “WTF???” moment when you find out you’re actually Revan the whole time, one of the darkest sith in the galaxy, especially when your first play through is “light side” heavy the whole game, which is lengthy… thinking “I’m a good solid Jedi” only to find out NO ACTUALLY YOURE NOT. that was crazy!!! Surprised knights of the old republic wasn’t mentioned in this video…
Yeah, I was really expecting to see that in this video. IMO, none of these holy shit moments compare to that reveal. Really dropped the ball not including that.
I'm sorry but Shepard's betrayal from MW2 should've been nr1! In my ENTIRE LIFE I have never experienced a moment that just made me want to scream WTF more than that moment!
@Charlie Vetsworth compared to other assasins creed games i agree but this was one of my first assasins creed games and i was pretty young when i played it, so i wasnt too critical of games. I think it was the first open world game i ever finished lol
@Charlie Vetsworth When i first played AC3 i was thinking the same thing but my opinion has changed. Conor wasnt a wise man nor a good man. He was a naive child that hunted down the templars for a goal that is not only impossible to achive, but also has made it clear several times that he is too stubborn to see the world as it is. I would say every single templar in this game is fantastic since this is the only AC game where good and bad does not exist.
adippful he was looking for Atreus’ mother Faye bcs she was the last giant that kept interfering with Odins plans so Odin sent his sons/nephews to find her and not realizing that she was in a leather pouch the entire time.
I remember going into bioshock 100% blind, I didn't know it was set in a underwater city! I had just heard "it's good" and bought it from a store without looking into it at all, so just seeing rapture for the first time absolutely floored me, I was like "Hoooly shit what!?" and was so excited to explore, expecting a lavish welcome when instead I suddenly encountered the splicers and was like "oh fuck". gahhh it was all so amazing, I doubt few got to experience it like I did and I treasure those memories.
that game is literal bullshit... 0 fun. 100% grind for nothing. only to get a parameter on a database from 1 to 99/120. I cant believe i have a couple skills on 99 xD that was soo fuckin hard.
I remember starting this game cos a couple of my school friends told me its awesome. I spent two weeks mining and farming materials and realised i had to cut my losses and quit right away. Lucky i did, my friends were like addicts. Its pulls you in to the grind somehow.
Yeah, people always give it crap because like the Star war prequels it contridicted a lot of the Bioshock lore, but omfg was the story SOOO much better written then what 2k did to Borderlands 3. I don't care what anyone says, both Bioshock infinite and the Star Wars prequels will always have a spot in my heart. I don't trust 2k with a fourth Bioshock after they ruined the storyline of Borderlands 3. Heard that 2K and Disney?! I want George Lucas and Kevin Levine back, I don't CARE if they have ZERO knowledge about Science or lore consistency! I Just want GOOD story telling again!
This is true. Years ago after i finished the game, my mind was so fucked by that game and i had to like read the entire synopsis again and also watch people's theories about the game.
Eh. It's a cool moment, but "HOLY SHIT"? I disagree. I mean the game is literally called Titanfall, you're already going in with the expectation to see some giant mechs.
That first moment you come across an alien in the woods. When you go behind the hill and theres a ship,like an actual ship on the mountain in the woods and then this alien shows up, stuns you and leaves while leaving everything covered in snow.
@@leonkennedy7831 it's that type of existential horror that leaves you hollow inside. At the end of the story you have been tricked to believe this is the end and that's terrifying, very few stories are like that but one comes to mind would be Ridley Scott's Alien
Man, Bioshock's ending - I remember being spellbound and savoring one of the best moments in my years of playing video games. MGS2 was a mindfuck and quite enjoyable. Batman Arkham Asylum was amazing in so many ways. Great list.
Hoping to see the single best twist in gaming history, 2003 GOTY, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Edit: it’s not here and I am very mad, how can you leave this one out? Edit: also should have had “even the flaws” Jade Empire, lots of people haven’t heard of it but BioWare used to be the KING of twists in their time
I agree with "Would you kindly' and while outside of the time frame I'd put coming out of the sewers in Oblivion right up there with coming out of the Vault in Fallout 3
Fallout 3 really hit the nail on the head for what it was going for. I remember exploring that school near the first vault and just being in awe, totally feeling like you could sorta sus out what happened pre nuke as you explore the ruins. I didn't really get that feeling in the next installments, maybe it's just because 3 desensitized me lol
@@SimonRobeyns I wanted to like Fallout 4 so bad. I don't even know what makes it suck, well, the level up system is a little weird, kinda cool that you're supposed to level your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats but it's super time consuming(like, I was going for a perk that takes 3 more agility... so i'd get it in 4 levels lol), outpost building is fun but so tedious... They added so many cool features that totally miss the mark.
@@haachamachama7 Exactly, it was possibly the game i was hyped about the most, ever. The dialogue was lame and bland and boring, the whole story was just sad and the whole map just felt like they didn't try anything interesting or new or expanded on the previous installment and yeah, these settlements.. god it sucked.
@@haachamachama7 It was just dumbed down and not gritty or dark or anything. It just seemed like some cartooned version and even the backstory and vaults and stuff you could find just didn't cut it for the Fallout standard. I know what you mean. I played bout 30 hours before I realized "why am I even playing..? Because I want to or because I thought I wanted to?" Then I threw it away and never picked it up since. I heard the far harbour expac wasn't so bad but I can't be bothered to find out.
When I first played Fallout 3, I just jumped into the game without reading or watching anything about it really. So after the first minutes I thought that the game would take place in the underground vault only, because of the contaminated ouside etc... ... well can you imagine my reaction when the game let me step out into a huge f***ing open world? :D
Lol no mo i played that mission beat it 2nd try when i was little played it ladt month. Spent hours i mean hours couldnt do it i used slow motion cheat to slow everything...
Whats ingrained into my brain is. Wood needed mlord. More wood needed sire. Cant place that there.... Cant place that there. ( yes i know because this fucking mom holding a baby wont move) Granary stocks are running low sire Stockpiles full mlord
Thank you for including CoD4!!!! I feel as if the newer generation jumped in at like MW2/3 or Black Ops and they completely ignore CoD4, such a dope game!
@@only1dirtymouf oh hell yes. I still remember that rush. I don't know why, but I was filled with some sort of uncertainty before smashing right into that hay pile for the first time.
The most 'holy cake!" Moment i had in the 2000s was when I found out that Tien and Yamcha could do a fusion dance and become "Tiencha"(i think), in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2. Damn miss those older DBZ games.
Imagine if they remade ffx but with ffxv gameplay. That would make for a badass final fantasy. I loved them all but now that im older turn based games dont seem to have the same effect. Ff7 remake knew that all too well.
Yes that made me cry. I know her ending speech by heart and I know the sending dance step by step. Ah and my icon XD. Yuna will be my fav Final Fantasy char by far.
My name is Jack IRL, so when it was the middle of the night, and I'm there going through the end, only to have the colonel call and say, "Jack, turn the game off right now." I nearly had a stroke.🤣
the building falling down with you in it in Uncharted 2, that was a holy shit moment. the chopper shoots its rockets at the building, then the building starts to shudder then sway as furniture slides across the room before the building tips all the way. man no one does set pieces like Naughty Dog.
I think Jak & Daxter was the very first game I got with the ps2 along with Sly Cooper and Gran Turismo 3, and I got each of the sequels the very next Christmas or birthday that they released -- The bigger holy shit for me was actually finally 100%'ing the first game well after I had already experienced the entire trilogy, only to realize that the setup for the sequel was teased in the true ending cinematic and I never knew it.
@@Th3Raz96 Same with literally all of that except Grand Turismo. I was a Need For Speed kid (HP2 then Underground). Now that I think about it my life has gone downhill since third grade.
"You start in a vault because regular fallout thing." *I'm pretty sure The Courier also got a huge shocking moment when he found out it was just a simple delivery.*
I remember I was like 13 when I first played fallout three... my friend bought the game for me as a gift and the first time we got to the vault door was just so inspiring and just wow.. me and that friend spent every weekend for a solid 2 years playing nothing but fallout 3 .. thanks for reminding me of those fond times
I loved when they would quick land right in front of you. Sometimes you could hear their wings or roar, but the times when you don't know they're coming and boom! Land right in front of you. Scared the shit out of me the first time it happened.
My 2 biggest wtf moments are probably first in Max Payne with the blood trail and the baby crying when you OD and the ending of the first COD Blackops when you find out you were hallucinating half the game and you are a sleeper agent who even assassinated JFK!
Same here, played Max Payne when I was 15 and it was mind blowing, real psychological thriller. And yeah, you're right Blops was a great story as well. I remember taking a half day from work and getting the game on my way home. I know the multiplayer is really where the game's focus was, but the storyline was well delivered and riveting
It was mind blowing but when I saw it for the first time it didn't really hit me. Just a big ship I said. The real holy sh*t moment happened on Virmire when the damned ship talked to me.
And when you talk with Vigil. Ill never forget that pull i felt in my stomach. An empy almost painfull feeling, knowing that i was speaking with the last of a civilization long eradicated.
Bro, unveiling the "Truth" puzzles in AC2 is one of my fondest gaming memories. My friends and I were so hyped up about it when the game released. Trying to guess what it was, coming up with crazy theories. Felt like unraveling a real conspiracy.
meeting up with my friend directly after we'd both played the Minerva/Desmond part was one of the most excited i've ever talked about video games unforgettable game
Another holy shit moment was when Dom from gears of war , finally finds his wife or when Tye was tortured so bad by the locust , that he shot himself after being freed by Marcus
Or in gears 3 when dom literally sacrifices his life for Marcus and crew to survive and you think that now he gets to be at peace with his family finally
Can’t believe that the ending of spec ops: The line isn’t in this list or mentioned in comments. That is number one omg in all the games I’ve ever played.
@@rushpan93 Technically yes it is as it was released in 2010 and we won't be out of the 2000s until year 3000, but U know what u mean. Any games released after 1999 through 2009 is the time frame you assumed the video was suggesting no?
Having played the whole series apart from Valhalla (want to finish Odyssey first) the biggest "holy shit!' moment for me is still the reveal of Damascus in the original. It's perfectly designed, as you ride along the narrow, winding canyon that limits your view, then you emerge, and at the bottom of the hill is this HUGE in-game city, easily the biggest digital city I had ever seen at the time. The scale was breathtaking, but also the beauty of it, and the knowledge that the whole thing would be explorable. AC2 refined the gameplay a lot and is definitely the better overall experience, but nothing else has come close to that reveal for me.
the impact and mind boggling nature of the first one is all but completely lost now thanks to what they've done with the series even just the initial leadup to the game's launch with jade raymond doing what she could to give info but still withhold everything; man what a wild time that was

Assassins creed revelations when *Ezio and Desmond talk with each other*
YES
Revelations was launched in 2011.
Fuck bro i was literally about to say that. That was fucking mad. Shame it's not in the 2000s tho
That blew my mind, such a good narrative
They don't talk to each other. It's just a representation, Desmond isn't there he is in Ezio because he's reliving it. They just show what's happening in Ezio's head and he knows about him and his name because of the apple
"the rest is up to you Desmond"
Me and Ezio : they got us in the first half not gonna lie
Haha fuckin gold
You just unlocked a memory I forgot I had. Enzio is top 5 video game characters of all time
The bioshock twist is obviously great but honestly one of my favorite video game moments ever has to be when you first see the city of rapture in the elevator. That was definitely holy shit worthy.
Yessss
A man of culture, I see.
Where's KotOR though?
Just seeing the lighthouse after u crash in the ocean is a holy shit moment
Oh yeah when i first saw it i knew it wad gonna be awesome
Mass Effect 2's prologue.
The Normandy getting obliterated within minutes by the Collectors.
Shepherd being flung into a planet's atmosphere as he/she loses consciousness from asphyxia.
It really set the tone of the game.
Mass Effect is may most favourite franchise. But i wouldnt say that thats a BRUH moment
Yeah that really hit me
@@Werhgrjdtvrykum i played the ME2 right after ive completed the first, and that moment hit me because all that ive done with the ship and the crew and sudendly everything blows up :O

The Archangel reveal from ME2.

It would have been more obvious if 90% of licensed games weren't on rails
And the thing was, right about when I got to that point, I was really starting to wonder, "Why am I doing all of this? What was the point?" The we get the big reveal...
coulda told her you crashed in the pacific ocean and this dude been helping you ..

Hey edit so the spoilers gone man, people still haven’t played
@@spacejesus6581 bruh the game is legitimately almost 20 years old

The introduction to the flood in Halo: CE completely changed how the game felt mechanically and emotionally. I wouldn't rate it it high on the list but I feel its worth mentioning.
thats the first time i felt genuine fear in a game for sure
Yes! I was thinking of this, too.
The flood were the best part in bungie's halo, a shame they didnt return in reach or even some parts of halo 4
The best thing is that Bungie and Microsoft never teased it in any way, which made its introduction even more of a shock. I'd also say Halo in general has a lot of amazing moments.

Lance Vance’s betrayal at the end of GTA Vice City. I remember fighting him for the first time and screaming “ why are you making me do this!”
Yeah it's savage. You can kind of see his mental health deteriorating in his phone calls leading up to that point.
All of these were awesome, but the moment in KOTOR when Revan takes off their mask and it's you. Then it replays all of the moments you should have caught the first time, it really got me when I was younger.

Still the best star wars game ever made
Damn, that shouldve been no 1. Probably even better than Bioshock or Asylum twist.
Took me a moment to realize KOTOR stands for Knights of the Old Republic - StarWars video game 😅
Yes!!! How the shit is this not #1?! Or on the list at all???

The cutscenes in The Last Of Us were top notch. They really got you involved. You could relate to many of the people and understand their sorrow and their decisions. It all made perfect sense. It was super realistic
When you come out of the elevator. "No Russian." I was shocked as hell like "are we really doing this?"

I nearly shit my pants, then nearly fell asleep in the library
This is 100% true.
Not to mention the moment where the almost useless Battle Rifle is actually effective here all while the Combat Pistol is suddenly useless against the infectious horde.
Brought back those Resident evil 1 on ps1 days type fear
Need for Speed Most Wanted.. Mia revealing she was an undercover cop the whole time but was still on your side.. those days were THE days..
SchoolTerrorist somehow someway you gotta find a way to play most wanted and underground 1 & 2. I literally stopped playing nfs games after those because it was never the same.
@@imchaotix5450 ugh, I tired. I tried so hard to get into the new ones ( Rivals, NFS 2015, and Payback) but everything after Most Wanted and Carbon just didn't have the same atmosphere to it. I did play pro Street and had a ton of fun playing that one even though it was a lot different. But the new ones just fell flat. Nothing to do with the mechanics as far as i can tell but idk.
Rafael JImenez pto street was fun because you had multiple cars for different types of racing contest. But yeah everything else just don’t cut it.
@@imchaotix5450 I was the same for yeaaarsssss, Heat feels like all the classics but modern. Try Heat, can get it very cheap on EA Access
That damn BMW will forever be iconic and the best car ever.
The Flood reveal in original Halo was brilliant
I said holy sh*t when i realised Ezio thought he was gonna be special but i bet he got well depressed when he realised he was just a messenger for desmond
but i love how he gets over the fact and begins to search for altairs tomb and literally talks to desmond knowing he is watching
thats some great holy sh*t moments right there
Hell yeah
Ezio truly grew into the master assassin. Young and reckless at first the wise and powerful at the end👍🏻
Metal gear solid 3 when you find out the truth about the boss. That still gets me to this day.
I remember playing fallout 3 for the first time, I was left speechless for about 5 minutes running around all giddy and excited about playing my first fallout game, been in love with the series ever since
The Scarecrow mission had me like “Holy Shit!!!” for a solid 30 minutes
When "my pc crashed" I was shook
I was like, should I turn off my ps3?
Yes man i felt d same.
Eternal Darkness was like that... for the whole damn game.
"Remember: No Russian."
Very controversial but that one took me by surprise...
If you want my honesty, it's honestly a stress reliever ngl.
Never getting things a such again...
It was amazing!! We done it with smiles on our faces!.. weird that at the time it didnt feel that bad tbh, obviously it was but just seemed to be part of a game not a big thing, but then again you only hear of these complaints, never actually first hand lol
That was indeed very weird to play
Same I actually tried killing the people you go with and I understood there is no choice lol

Grove street. Home. Least it was before I fucked everything up.
My most memorable oh shit moment has to be the last act of Mass Effect 1 when you find out about the reapers.
You are not saren.
One of my most recent "Holy Shit" moments: God Of War 2018, when Kratos goes to his home and reluctantly breaks out the Blades of Chaos!
YES!!
I forgot about bioshock i was actually expecting god of war 2 to be #1. There were a few parts of that game where the scenery blew my mind
my buddy was the lead dev on that game!
Unfortunately my buddy spoiled that for me... He's always been an xbox guy and I was talking about how awesome the new GOW was (probably not even halfway through the game at that point) and he said "yeah I watched a bunch of highlights online... pretty cool that you eventually get the blades of chaos back" and I just blankly stared at him until he said "damn you haven't gotten to that part yet have you...."
Good one. That moment gave me goosebumps. The using them first person was tremendous.
KOTOR end was the biggest “WTF???” moment when you find out you’re actually Revan the whole time, one of the darkest sith in the galaxy, especially when your first play through is “light side” heavy the whole game, which is lengthy… thinking “I’m a good solid Jedi” only to find out NO ACTUALLY YOURE NOT. that was crazy!!! Surprised knights of the old republic wasn’t mentioned in this video…
Yeah, I was really expecting to see that in this video. IMO, none of these holy shit moments compare to that reveal. Really dropped the ball not including that.
I'm sorry but Shepard's betrayal from MW2 should've been nr1! In my ENTIRE LIFE I have never experienced a moment that just made me want to scream WTF more than that moment!
yes totally agree with that
or No Russian mission .
"Good. That's one less loose end."
Yep. That one and the big smoke turn from gta are the only betrayals that I never saw coming in a game and that genuinely got me
Hands down....biggest betrayal moment in the history of gaming!
Arkham Asylum has to be my favorite. I remember playing through it and being amazed at how everything looked and how great it felt to be Batman
the twist in ac3 when haytham turns out to be a templar. Man that game was good.
Although it was weird that he had a cross on his back the entire time
Dude YES. I screamed WHAT at my TV at the end of that
@Charlie Vetsworth compared to other assasins creed games i agree but this was one of my first assasins creed games and i was pretty young when i played it, so i wasnt too critical of games. I think it was the first open world game i ever finished lol
@Charlie Vetsworth When i first played AC3 i was thinking the same thing but my opinion has changed. Conor wasnt a wise man nor a good man. He was a naive child that hunted down the templars for a goal that is not only impossible to achive, but also has made it clear several times that he is too stubborn to see the world as it is. I would say every single templar in this game is fantastic since this is the only AC game where good and bad does not exist.
I had suspicions of that guy from the start but it still slapped me
When you realise baldur wasn’t looking for kratos but his wife the entire time!
Thats not the 2000s, but still a good moment in modern gaming
Baldur was looking for his mom not his wife
I thought he was looking for atreus?
@@TheGreendaleHumanBeing He meant, Baldur was looking for Kratos' wife.
adippful he was looking for Atreus’ mother Faye bcs she was the last giant that kept interfering with Odins plans so Odin sent his sons/nephews to find her and not realizing that she was in a leather pouch the entire time.
I remember going into bioshock 100% blind, I didn't know it was set in a underwater city! I had just heard "it's good" and bought it from a store without looking into it at all, so just seeing rapture for the first time absolutely floored me, I was like "Hoooly shit what!?" and was so excited to explore, expecting a lavish welcome when instead I suddenly encountered the splicers and was like "oh fuck". gahhh it was all so amazing, I doubt few got to experience it like I did and I treasure those memories.
Runescape, when i realised after 6 years that i had wasted my life
LOL when you visit that dude in lumbridge and ask him how many days have I spent here...oh noes!
that game is literal bullshit... 0 fun. 100% grind for nothing. only to get a parameter on a database from 1 to 99/120. I cant believe i have a couple skills on 99 xD that was soo fuckin hard.
I used to like scampering around in the North collecting team capes and selling them for exorbitant prices later to the clans, but then I got hacked.
I remember starting this game cos a couple of my school friends told me its awesome. I spent two weeks mining and farming materials and realised i had to cut my losses and quit right away. Lucky i did, my friends were like addicts. Its pulls you in to the grind somehow.
I had fun doing the quests when it was still mostly 2d, like 16 years ago or something.
Have to agree on the Big Smoke plot twist , did not see that coming when I first played
I was similarly surprised with Lance Vance in GTA Vice City when he sold us out to the mafia in the final mission.
Emil Dimov same
@@emildimov8955 same
Emil Dimov same !
i never finished the game and im sad that i just got it spoiled after years of never diving into the game fully... :/
Talking about that Fallout 3 world reveal...
Oblivion: "Am I a joke to you?"
Assassin's Creed II is still my favourite in the series.
So much hidden knowledge I’m that game man
It was some other worldly game at that time,i have played it more times than i can remember.
I love ac 1. Altair was my favorite assassin.
"10 Holy Shxt In-Game moments from the 2000s"

V for Vendetta NO
Horizon zero Dawn: when you find out the real reason why everything is and what Ted Faro did
Yeah, I would add reveal of who Aloy is. Well, kind of...
The end of bioshock infinite had me shock for days and still talk about it to this day
IT JUST NEVER ENDS THE LORE JUST CONTINUES
They always a light house
Yeah, people always give it crap because like the Star war prequels it contridicted a lot of the Bioshock lore, but omfg was the story SOOO much better written then what 2k did to Borderlands 3. I don't care what anyone says, both Bioshock infinite and the Star Wars prequels will always have a spot in my heart. I don't trust 2k with a fourth Bioshock after they ruined the storyline of Borderlands 3. Heard that 2K and Disney?! I want George Lucas and Kevin Levine back, I don't CARE if they have ZERO knowledge about Science or lore consistency! I Just want GOOD story telling again!
Some Aqua man vs Black manta shit
This is true. Years ago after i finished the game, my mind was so fucked by that game and i had to like read the entire synopsis again and also watch people's theories about the game.
If he does a 2010. It definitely has to include calling in your titan for the first time in Titanfall.
Halo 4 legendary ending
Eh. It's a cool moment, but "HOLY SHIT"? I disagree. I mean the game is literally called Titanfall, you're already going in with the expectation to see some giant mechs.
"Welcome to the madhouse Batman"
That quote was perfect for telling you what was in store in Arkham Asylum
3:53 I see that you are typing in upper case by keeping your finger on the Shift key instead of just pressing caps lock once, a true man of culture
Who uses caps lock?
Bioshock infinite had me messed up for a few days lol
More like months
I couldnt sleep for a day after that!
I absolutely agree, it was far out, except that was from the 2010's, not the the 2000's.
the burial at sea dlc ending was even more fucked tbh
More like forever. I still only partially understand it. It's confusing
The last of us. When you see the giraffes walk through the high school.
I was beyond amazed.
Except the last of us came out in 2013.
I'm from Salt Lake City and it was so wonderful, seeing that part. The giraffes, the buildings, the downtown temple. I still love it so much
god damn that game was amazing and till this day one of my favs
In Crysis 1 when we see the panned shot of the island . I was like holy shit this look good.
...aaand your PC is on fire
the WTF moment in crysis 1 was that part when you go inside that creepy no gravity alien ship.
Edit : and NO my PC was not on fire.
or when you exit the alien ship only to discover everything is covered in snow, that was creepy for me
i also remember my pc on fire xD
That first moment you come across an alien in the woods. When you go behind the hill and theres a ship,like an actual ship on the mountain in the woods and then this alien shows up, stuns you and leaves while leaving everything covered in snow.
The biggest wtf moment for me was the end of Soma. That was incredibly horrifying
True
Maybe he'll make a list of the best twists in the 2010s~
Soma had quite a couple of these holy shit moments throughout the story tbh, one of the best stories I've ever played
@@leonkennedy7831 it's that type of existential horror that leaves you hollow inside. At the end of the story you have been tricked to believe this is the end and that's terrifying, very few stories are like that but one comes to mind would be Ridley Scott's Alien
Yeah SOMA is an essential crisis in game form and I loved it
Man, Bioshock's ending - I remember being spellbound and savoring one of the best moments in my years of playing video games.
MGS2 was a mindfuck and quite enjoyable.
Batman Arkham Asylum was amazing in so many ways.
Great list.
Hoping to see the single best twist in gaming history, 2003 GOTY, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Edit: it’s not here and I am very mad, how can you leave this one out?
Edit: also should have had “even the flaws” Jade Empire, lots of people haven’t heard of it but BioWare used to be the KING of twists in their time
I KNOW RIGHT?!
It 100% should be. Also more to the point i can't believe that game wasn't game of the year. Thats even worse
Darthpool it was GOTY wasn’t it? Yeah the sequel always says “highly anticipated sequel to the 2003 game of the year”
Is sad that some random video can make you mad. Grow up my dude.
@@spacejesus6581 as sad as i am to say no. It was madden 2004. I know i sound like im sumb or joking but im not. I checked
I agree with "Would you kindly' and while outside of the time frame I'd put coming out of the sewers in Oblivion right up there with coming out of the Vault in Fallout 3
Oblivion was my shit, damn I miss that game. The music, the quests, damn.
Coming out of the vault... ah!
@@supersonic777able the speaking minigame!
Fallout 3 really hit the nail on the head for what it was going for. I remember exploring that school near the first vault and just being in awe, totally feeling like you could sorta sus out what happened pre nuke as you explore the ruins. I didn't really get that feeling in the next installments, maybe it's just because 3 desensitized me lol
I never got all the hate it got. I loved it from start to finish and I thought fallout 4 sucked
@@SimonRobeyns I wanted to like Fallout 4 so bad. I don't even know what makes it suck, well, the level up system is a little weird, kinda cool that you're supposed to level your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats but it's super time consuming(like, I was going for a perk that takes 3 more agility... so i'd get it in 4 levels lol), outpost building is fun but so tedious... They added so many cool features that totally miss the mark.
@@haachamachama7 Exactly, it was possibly the game i was hyped about the most, ever. The dialogue was lame and bland and boring, the whole story was just sad and the whole map just felt like they didn't try anything interesting or new or expanded on the previous installment and yeah, these settlements.. god it sucked.
@@SimonRobeyns I tried to play it 3 times from the start... I couldn't get into it lol
@@haachamachama7 It was just dumbed down and not gritty or dark or anything. It just seemed like some cartooned version and even the backstory and vaults and stuff you could find just didn't cut it for the Fallout standard. I know what you mean. I played bout 30 hours before I realized "why am I even playing..? Because I want to or because I thought I wanted to?" Then I threw it away and never picked it up since.
I heard the far harbour expac wasn't so bad but I can't be bothered to find out.
"Do not trust Shepard!" that's true betrayal
Infamous 1, when kessler reveals who he really is.
100% was hoping this one was on here. That shit blew me away.
Yess
YES, i've seen the plot everywhere, but that one was superbly done!
True xDD for me that one is the number 1 nobody expected that
I shat myself
When I first played Fallout 3, I just jumped into the game without reading or watching anything about it really. So after the first minutes I thought that the game would take place in the underground vault only, because of the contaminated ouside etc...
... well can you imagine my reaction when the game let me step out into a huge f***ing open world? :D
With San Andreas I’ve heard “ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ” so many times it’s ingrained in my memory
That mission really isn't hard though , it's just a thing to say it is.
Lol no mo i played that mission beat it 2nd try when i was little played it ladt month. Spent hours i mean hours couldnt do it i used slow motion cheat to slow everything...

I have to say Halo Reach was a Holy SH*T moment, but that moment where Kat was sniped just brought on "This is serious" and upsetting.
George sacrificing himself to destroy one covy cruiser then 12 more pop out...man I was fucked up over that.
Halo Reach was just depressing. The second I started to like a character...well you know what happened.
@SchoolTerrorist "IM READY! HOW ABOUT YOU!?!"
When kat died i was barely looking at the screen an i was like wha- wtf. It was so sudden
Thank you for including CoD4!!!! I feel as if the newer generation jumped in at like MW2/3 or Black Ops and they completely ignore CoD4, such a dope game!
Holy Sh*t Moment: Entering your first hell gate in Oblivion
and then a "holy shit, I really gotta do this 9 more times" I hated the oblivion gates after the first 2 times of doing it lol
I think the final reveal in Bioshock: Infinite about who Comstock is was also a mindfuck moment. It took me a while to understand the ending properly.
That was one that I had to google afterwards... and my brain damn near blew through my forehead.
Surprised nothing from MW2 or Portal is on this list
No russian?
@@NapoleonBorn2Party No russian.

yeah ikr, i said holy shit when a mission was to shoot up a airport and also remember saying wtf pretty much right after that
Yeah but those games a talked about enough. Also it was satisfying to be the bad guy for once. And the snowflakes should get over it. It's a game!
The Skyrim Intro, shall always have a special place in my heart
AC2 after that pope fight when she says "I'm not talking to you" that was the holy shit moment
Nice moments. For me, I was blown away by Portal 2's ending. SOOOO satisfying.
Same and since half life and portal take place in the same universe chell might've died after because of the combine
The ending of portal 2, when you shoot a portal into the moon, i was saying "HOLLY SH*T" under my breath the whole sequence.
But thats another decade man.
I talk about that to this day. That was one of the greatest moments of gaming I ever experienced, and I don't think that'll change in the near future.
I love the little twinkle and sound of it hitting the moon it was like valve was saying “yeah we know it cool”
so,so good
And the fact that they timed it out so that the travel time from shooting the portal to when it hits the moon is accurate based on the speed
I thought you were going to talk about when you first go on an eagle tower in assassins creed. Blew my mind when I did one for the first time
And the rest is history. I still remember my first eagle jump.

Thanks for the memories man, Bioshock was an absolute trip.
jade empire's story twist, i'm still not over it 12 years later.
the building falling down with you in it in Uncharted 2, that was a holy shit moment. the chopper shoots its rockets at the building, then the building starts to shudder then sway as furniture slides across the room before the building tips all the way. man no one does set pieces like Naughty Dog.
Very true. The uncharted series had plenty of terrific moments like this.
Portal 2 - "It's been a long time"
when you find out who the Precursors are in Jak and Daxter, and understand what dark eco really is
Just finished The precursor lagacy , started Jack 2 now :)
@Honudes Gai what does an open world have to do with the gameplay? All it does is pad out the time it takes to arrive at and play the actual levels.
Goooood times
I think Jak & Daxter was the very first game I got with the ps2 along with Sly Cooper and Gran Turismo 3, and I got each of the sequels the very next Christmas or birthday that they released -- The bigger holy shit for me was actually finally 100%'ing the first game well after I had already experienced the entire trilogy, only to realize that the setup for the sequel was teased in the true ending cinematic and I never knew it.

For me one of those moments was when you find out what happened in Horizon Zero Dawn :)
That was pretty intense the first time around wasn't it?
Oh yeah spot on still one of my favorite open world games next to witcher 3 :)
sadly thats a moment from the 2010s.

The original tomb raider. When the t Rex came out of the darkness. Man my heart was beating so hard.

My 2 biggest wtf moments are probably first in Max Payne with the blood trail and the baby crying when you OD and the ending of the first COD Blackops when you find out you were hallucinating half the game and you are a sleeper agent who even assassinated JFK!
Same here, played Max Payne when I was 15 and it was mind blowing, real psychological thriller. And yeah, you're right Blops was a great story as well. I remember taking a half day from work and getting the game on my way home. I know the multiplayer is really where the game's focus was, but the storyline was well delivered and riveting
Bro that Max Payne intro mission scarred me when I was 11...immediately turned it off and thought about it every night for a week.
When you first meet sovereign in mass effect
When I saw a star systems and travel i was impressed af
For me it was the final boss in ME2. It was so massive. They really made you feel so tiny in a way other games have attempted but failed.
It was mind blowing but when I saw it for the first time it didn't really hit me. Just a big ship I said. The real holy sh*t moment happened on Virmire when the damned ship talked to me.
And when you talk with Vigil. Ill never forget that pull i felt in my stomach. An empy almost painfull feeling, knowing that i was speaking with the last of a civilization long eradicated.
Reading through all these comments makes me wanna go play the Mass Effect Trilogy again
Beginning of the, “Of Their Own Accord” mission in MW2 had got me.
Yep. Still my favorite pre level setup of any COD with just the emergency broadcast followed your character coming out to a war torn DC
Bro, unveiling the "Truth" puzzles in AC2 is one of my fondest gaming memories. My friends and I were so hyped up about it when the game released. Trying to guess what it was, coming up with crazy theories. Felt like unraveling a real conspiracy.
meeting up with my friend directly after we'd both played the Minerva/Desmond part was one of the most excited i've ever talked about video games
unforgettable game
Yes!! AC2 is my favorite game of all time because of this.
Another holy shit moment was when Dom from gears of war , finally finds his wife or when Tye was tortured so bad by the locust , that he shot himself after being freed by Marcus
Or in gears 3 when dom literally sacrifices his life for Marcus and crew to survive and you think that now he gets to be at peace with his family finally
Fighting a pope is literally a holy shit moment
“ the game ends in a literal fist fight with the pope” will always be one of the greatest statements to apply to a game for AC2 lol
Can’t believe that the ending of spec ops: The line isn’t in this list or mentioned in comments. That is number one omg in all the games I’ve ever played.
The start of Mass effect 2 ... Holy shit the Normandy explosion...
Of course, but wasn't technically 2000s though.
@@rushpan93 Technically yes it is as it was released in 2010 and we won't be out of the 2000s until year 3000, but U know what u mean. Any games released after 1999 through 2009 is the time frame you assumed the video was suggesting no?
I was Holy Shit in All Ghilled Up Mission when the tank passed by
Having played the whole series apart from Valhalla (want to finish Odyssey first) the biggest "holy shit!' moment for me is still the reveal of Damascus in the original. It's perfectly designed, as you ride along the narrow, winding canyon that limits your view, then you emerge, and at the bottom of the hill is this HUGE in-game city, easily the biggest digital city I had ever seen at the time. The scale was breathtaking, but also the beauty of it, and the knowledge that the whole thing would be explorable. AC2 refined the gameplay a lot and is definitely the better overall experience, but nothing else has come close to that reveal for me.
the impact and mind boggling nature of the first one is all but completely lost now thanks to what they've done with the series
even just the initial leadup to the game's launch with jade raymond doing what she could to give info but still withhold everything; man what a wild time that was
Omg yes!!!! I’m so glad someone said this as I had the similar feeling
i totally agree, if you were there at the beginning that city reveal was nothing short of breathtaking.
Oh yes, that was such an awesome moment! AC had that magic, the atmosphere and the delivery, things were so epic!
Something that made me go "wow"? CoD World at War, just the intro gives you shiver and the berlin missions were just.. wow.
