Best Moments In Action Games/RPGs

[Archem]

Mine was spraying as a fear reflex, and won an entire round. Still better.

[Cerebus]

All right, all right, you win...

Anyone mentioned Luca Blight yet? Probly not.

Luca Blight. Best goddamn RPG boss ever. From Suikoden II

Takes 18 characters, a group of elite archers, one betrayal from enemy officers, one surprise night attack by the populace of an entire castle to the heart of the enemy force, and plain blind luck, all at the same time. And what for? To kill one, non-special, non-superpowered man, who won't die just because he has too much hatred towards every living thing to accept dying and letting them live.

You ambush him, turn him into a pincushion with arrows, and he counterattacks and defeats 6 of your best warriors (to compare; by this point in game, it is routine for 6 warriors to be able to capture an entire city by themselves). You ambush him with other 6 of your best warriors, lob all city-destroying magic you have at him. He again counterattacks and defeats them all. Keep in mind he's still bleeding from the arrows. You finnally attack him with your 6 best(est) warriors, and... he survives, but retreats.

Keep in mind, each of these 6-on-1 battles take on average 20 minutes. Whereas most bosses could be killed in, like, 10, if you knew what you were doing.

You follow him, he is betrayed into giving away his position, and your archers put even more arrows into him.

Then he laughts it off and charges at you, starting a 1-on-1 duel.

And even his dying words are a mockery, pointing how weak you were next to him.

"It took hundreds to kill me, but I've slain humans by the thousands!"


If there is any moment in gaming that made me a fanboy, it was that battle.

Now that I think about it, I never did finish that game.
Guess I'll have to remedy that.

Another moment for me is in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance on the trial map where you're on an isolated island and people come to kill you.  I left Ike there alone and it wasn't fair for the people who attacked him, he's a beast!

[Prpl_Mage]

Watching my friend speedrun Fire emblem path of radiance. That one tight room where you have to defeat the black knight. Some laguz pushed ike, another one pushed ike 2 tiles forward. Ike moved just so that he could reach black knight right away. He attacks, critts both attacks and it was just the ammount of damage needed to beat him.

Also Pokemon heart gold. Got to the league, bad party. Got my ampharos with thunder and quick claw. Managed to trigger quick claw, hit and crit with thunder against all the dragonites. Then Aerodactyl came and raped it. Still, the hard part of the battle was gone.

Sequence breaking the **** out of Metroid: Zero Mission is fun as hell.
Examples: Getting the Varia Suit immediately after getting bombs.
Skipping the Long Beam.
Getting Super Missiles after killing Kraid and then using them to kill Imago, and THEN to get the Screw Attack way early.

I think I've played Metroid a 'lil too much.

[Archem]

I can't sequence break. Not enough brain juice or something.

[zuhane]

I'd sacrifice all my limbs for a new 2D metroid game

[Archem]

I'd sacrifice the lower half.

Still gotta be able to play, you know.

[fruckert]

Same here.

[daoman89]

I still haven't beaten Super Metroid... lol

[SaiKar]

I barely played it. Prime spoiled me.

[Archem]

That's an odd sentiment.

Majora's Mask. No damage against Gyorg.

**** Gyorg.

EDIT: Everyone else says he's easy. WHY CAN I NOT PLAY VIDYA GAEMS.
