Video Games are a very powerful medium, they're capable of making one feel a wide variety of emotions and imprinting memories on the user that they'll never forget. You could say the same about a song that sparks a specific memory in you or a scene in a film that stays with you forever, but I believe Video Games are so much more special.
The fact that as a medium games are so vivid in how they always place you in the drivers seat, you aren't listening to a set song that has already been written and produced into one way, you aren't watching a film that always will follow the same structure with you as a mere observer, you are actually experiencing it all directly and gaining a vastly more memorable and emotional connection with said game. And whilst it is true that games too can follow a set structure and in some cases like a David Cage game you are for the most part literally watching it like a film, I believe Gaming is truly unique in how you can experience things and realise dreams you never thought were possible.
This forum is built off the widespread admiration for this medium and I think we can all agree on how special games are, I would love to know from some of my fellow Gaffers what moment/moments in your life time playing video games will stay with you forever and mean so much to you always, it can be a level/stage you adored, a character you fell in love with, a narrative that encapsulated you or a ending that left your mouth agape, in a time where there seems to be so much discourse between people over their gaming preferences, I think to be able to just reflect on what makes us love this art form so much would be nice.
So my friends, what moment and/or moments in Gaming will you never forget?
