Bad-ass moments in video games

[acemcmac]

Duke Nukem 3d, episode 3, level 1.

Duke cracks his knuckles and says "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum"

The end of Metal Gear Solid 3, when snake is in the oval office and walks out. That along with the music - awesome. Also the fight with Ocelot in the same game (especially if you played MGS1 and 2). Snake > Ocelot.

The majority of Half-Life and Half-Life 2 is also badass.

ugh, hl2, badass? that game is way overhyped. i didn't play it until way after its release and thought it was mediocre at best.

Unreal where the lights go out and the Skaarj warrior comes after you. That was awesome.

Good for you, and you are entitled to your opinion.

It wasnt the greatest game ever made, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am sure someone will disagree with me when I say that every grand theft auto game sucks (which I do believe).

i have to say when mario defeats browser and save the princess. badass!


seriously though, i think solid is one badass dude.

the conclusion of BG2 where Jon Irenicus looks back and sees a host of demons/devils behind him. "After all that, to end up like this"

Completely owning the last couple levels of HL2 with the upgraded Grav Gun was definetly badass

I nearly died of a heart attack as a 9 year old kid when that happened back in the day.

Ditto. I almost had to stop the game to check my underwear after that scene. :Q

KOTOR, toward the end in the Star Forge you just feel BADASS.

What's badass about a powerless mage getting killed by a single imp? Weak.

End of Hitman: Blood money

The bouncing bullet tank game in Combat for the Atari 2600.

hmfg. there were hundreds of them and they were definitely not imps.

Goldeneye, dominating your friends in multiplayer was badass

Yeah, but it took one to push him off IIRC. The rest just committed suicide.

 

[JohnAn2112]

Another vote for Sephiroth. The cut scene where he sets Nibelheim on fire and walks through the blaze was :thumbsup:

 

[jagec]

Oh, and a lot of CoD and CoD2.

 

[Shadowknight]

Planescape: Torment - 1) Where you have the option of talking Vhailor, the bad-ass Mercykiller, to death by systematically dissecting his whole worldview and making him realize that his occupation, philosophy, and existence are ultimately meaningless.... and according to Mercykillers in the Smoldering Corpse Bar, he's supposed to be the living ideal of Mercykiller beliefs 2) The Memory you recall of disproving the existence of a guy you're talking to at a party and having him realize this right before popping out of existence 3) "Forgiving" Trias, the angel instead of killing him, only to have Vhailor walk right up and axe-murder him anyway 4) Taking off the rune of Torment, and using its power to bitchslap the Transcendent One at the end of the game

Riddick: Escape from BB: Crashing the ship into Hoxie's office, then setting it up for his own men to kill him. Rampaging in the riotguard, rampaging in the heavyguard, breaking into the computer core and reprogramming it to let you use machine guns, the entire level where the aliens are overruning the place and the guards are fighting for their lives.

FF7: Anytime you use Omnislash

Mortal Kombat 3: Smoke doing a multi-hit combo ending in a back-fist, Kabal doing the move where he spins someone arounds then does a multi-hit combo with his hookswords

C&C:Red Alert 2: The level where the Russians destroy the statue of liberty

Final Fantasy Legends: Fighting The Creator at the end of the game, who is very difficult to take down, and killing him in one shot with a monster that I morphed into a black knight, who used the "saw" ability

Oh my that brings back some heartstopping memories. I can't remember if it was Resident Evil 1 or 2, but when that huge main boss busts through the wall as you're turning a corner in one of the hallways. I damn near pooped myself.
