Im old, so my answer will seem dated. When i beat Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, i almost lost my mind. Not that the ending was amazing or anything about the story, just the fact that i FINALLY beat an RPG game. To this day, its the only RPG i ever beat.

How do you narrow it down? I have a few favorites… -the first time I experienced The Landing playing during the opening sequence of the Seed exam in FFVIII. To this day it’s one of my favorite musical scores and cinematic sequences. Nothing in VII comes close. Actually, trying to think of a second place… Nothing in any other FF does. -literally every minute of the first Life is Strange. But specifically the chapter ending sequences for chapters 1-3. The whole game makes up my favorite emotional beat down in story telling bar none. -fighting the dragon in Dragon’s Dogma. Both in the opening and the end. It’s such a colossal affair that is absolutely worthy of the build up the game gives it… unlike Skyrim where this colossal fight against the world eater just wound up being basically the same as every dragon fight before it. A few least favorites… which I wonder how you define. Is this a poor gaming experience or an unpleasant experience (that was supposed to feel unpleasant) Poor gaming experience -I know Aifos will disagree because we’ve discussed this before, but the pull the star destroyer down sequence in Force Unleashed. This is, in my opinion, hands down the scene with the most wasted potential of any game I’ve played. I wanted to love it so much and I hated it with the whole of my being. Thinking about it now makes me angry. -Brink. I wanted to like this game. The story explores some decent ideas about morality, anarchy, and political decay. It asks serious questions about when it’s okay to lie to your people and what sacrifices a society must make in the face of extinction. But you’d never know that. Because every single aspect of playing this game was the gaming equivalent of a root canal. This is one of the only games I have thrown in the trash. Unpleasant Gaming experience (that was kind of the point) -The whole of Last of Us 2, but specially [spoiler]Leaving the Farm. I basically marathoned this game and I remember getting to this part and wanting so desperately for the game to end here. When Ellie chose to leave the farm I was so angry with her for that decision, and so angry with the game for continuing on. It wasn’t until my second playthrough that I realized why the game did was it did. We were being put forcibly into Ellie’s shoes. She wanted to stay. She wanted the story to end there. But it couldn’t because she was broken and she didn’t know how to fix herself. Telling herself it was to kill Abby was a lie. She had already failed to do that. Abby was just a good excuse to die.[/spoiler]

Most: Playing Halo 3 match making and custom games with my clan mates for a couple of years nearly every night and weekend. Least: What 343 did to Cortana in Halo 5.

One of my top gaming experiences I’d say would be in my first Soulsborne game, Dark Souls 3. Getting home after school, making my way to the Kiln of the First Flame, and fighting the Soul of Cinder (about 4 times). I get my ending, became Lord of Hollows, screen fades to black. Pretty good game. Introduced me into the genre that got me out of Destiny 2 after all. Feeling good. Proud of myself for making it this far. [b]And then the[/b] [url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dJOOqzrLa_M]credits[/url] [b]played[/b]. Until that moment, I would always skip/fast forward a game’s credits when I could (darn you Titanfall 2 credits!) But I sat there. I sat for all 6:46 beautiful minutes to “Epilogue” by Yuka Kitamura. Literally cannot type out the awe I experienced (I’ve tried for the past 10 minutes). But it hits hard after going through the game. The YouTube comments should be proof enough. As an introduction to FromSoft, this was the best I could ask for. Good sleeping music too, goodness me. [spoiler]I should’ve done the DLCs first cause that makes the credits play an extended version and by an actual orchestra apparently. But that’s alright. no regrets.[/spoiler] Then there’s Bloodborne which I love atheistically and musically. An absolute must buy for PS owners. Also Helldivers 2 with the boys. It’s been a good few years for ga[u]me[/u]rs. —— [b]Worst experiences.[/b] [spoiler]My last match of Crucible which was a month or so after Beyond Light released. I get frozen a few times, then called it quits. I hate stun lock. Actual last straw for me aside from the sunsetting. [i]2 years sober, not looking back cause the drip isn’t that hot anyways.[/i] (compared to Warframe) There’s also the occasional R6S matchup with actual 14 year old squeakers. Maybe I’ll go back to R6 after the recruit rework idk. Or when my friends do, which may be never.[/spoiler]

Favourite might be too difficult to narrow down, so I’ll go with one I can remember clearly. Playing guilty gear strive and I’m still quite new (2 months and it was my first fighting game) I’m playing with a friend who has years more experience than me. They’re playing a character who is really good and they are good at them. I lose. I ask if we can try again because of how badly I lost. We keep going. For 2 hours. Finally, after steadily improving for 2 hours, I manage to beat them. Felt great. The least favourite? I have 3 potential candidates. The first was the time I died in devil may cry 3 without having saved for 4 hours. Doesn’t wipe your save if you die, but I spammed through the options to get to the main menu and change my settings, which is where I lost my save and 4 hours of effort. I was pissed. The second one isn’t really gaming per se, rather just computer related. I was drawing something with no other programs open and I hadn’t saved since shortly after creating the document. Then my pc blue screened. The third is just sad. My terraria characters and world got lost when I changed the storage device windows was running on. One drive overwrote the steam cloud save and like that I lost 70 hours of my time.

Favorite might be GRAW 2 lobbies or Halo 3 customs. Or just playing any games with the gang when I was in middle school. Least favorite was playing Halo 4 for the first time and realizing, “wow, this is kinda -blam!-”.

Story wise: Favorite: spoilers for Neo: The World Ends With You [spoiler]The final cutscene of Week 2, Day 7. There are so many moments in this cutscene that on their own would be really highly ranked as my favorite story moment in gaming, but altogether they definitely take the top. This is in no small part thanks to Shoka's voice actor. This scene was very, very, very emotional for Shoka, and the voice actor just pulled it off splendidly.[/spoiler] Least favorite: Probably one of the many stupid resurrections in Kingdom Hearts III. The rest of the franchise is peak storytelling, but 3 just kinda ruined everything, and one of its many crimes is how it resurrected literally every character who died throughout the entire series. Gameplay wise: Favorite: Lingering Will, Kingdom Hearts II. This is the most well designed boss in any game ever. Period. No game has ever made me feel like I've truly mastered its mechanics like this boss has--it's extremely challenging, one of the hardest bosses I've ever faced, but I have never once died to this boss without feeling like it was my fault. Nothing feels cheap or unfair, but he does not hold back, even a little bit. Least favorite: Fallout 4. Just, the whole thing. I hate it.

Yeesh, so many great moments and so many awful ones as well. Sometimes they were even one and the same. I'll have to ponder this question in depth to see if I can actually come up with a definitive 'Best' and 'Worst' moment in my gaming history.

My favorite video game moment is when finally getting all the trophies in deathloop because it was the first game I ever got all the trophies and my least favorite is when finishing lightfall…
