Resident Evil 7 VR.
My first proper foray into PSVR, and it was legitimately an amazing experience.

I just finished RE7 tonight, and there is no way I'd be playing that in VR...
It'd be fucking terrifying.
I kneel b4 Zod.

It's worth checking out VR. It's the biggest mind blowing experience since going from 2d Sonic to 3D Tomb Raider

Awesome artwork. There is a lot of interesting things about the game. It was made by one guy (except the music), he did the original cover, the engine was made from scratch and so on. This is a must see for any fan:Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing, feels like a great company to be in
By the way, this is hanging over my gaming TV.

When my friend showed me ff7 running on their PS1, I was amazed at the scale, and the 3D graphics, and soundtrack. It was all fantastic for me who did not own a console at the time, and only played games on my dad's pc, mainly shareware titles such as Duke Nukeum, before it went 3D. It was also my first jrpg, and first introduction to the final fantasy series. I recently started my playthrough of the remake and it's stirred those same old feelings of beautiful nostalgia, and a friendship I have long lost touch with.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
My Im amazed moments in gaming:
1. When you left the ship in the original Unreal at the beginning of the game. That still gives me chills
2. Entering hell in Doom 3.
Since then, I don't feel like I've anything has quite had that wow factor.
One other moment in gaming that was intense was the "conversion scene in Quake 4"

Old shmup arcade cabinet. That was the best game ever.
Golden Axe imported arcade cabinet (had a crowd watching. it was almost like cartoons! had volume in the characters (shadows and highlights, so the arms and legs where not just one color).
Road Avenger (ok this was an anime)
Virtua fighter imported arcade (3D WTF!!!)
Virtua racing on megadrive (spent 6h in a row (a long time back then since games where more arcade) playing, or living in that world.
Panzer Dragoon, just wow! 3D gaming at home.
Mario 64, how the world felt, the camera, the solid 3d...
Shenmue, the level of detail and realism
Wreckless a generational leap from Dreamcast and PS2
UE5 PS5 demo

Nothing will ever match my amazement at seeing Super Mario 64 running in a demo kiosk for the first time. My mind was utterly blown, I couldn't really comprehend it.

Its kinda cheating but Dragons Lair more of an interactive cartoon when it was released looked well nothing like it. With that said Pit Fighter kinda put realism to a game for the first time that I can remember but then that 30 years ago.

- Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis (it was my first 16 bit game after having an Atari 2600, the difference in quality was brutal).
- Red Zone. I was amazed with the FMV intro and all the different kinds of effects that the Genesis could pull off without any extra hardware.
- Virtua Racing (Arcade)
- Daytona USA (Arcade)
- Virtua Fighter 3tb (Dreamcast). It was the first game I saw on Dreamcast (Japanese import) and at the time, no other home console could stand eye to eye with those graphics and fluidity.
- Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast). The long awaited 3D Sonic finally arrived.
- Soul Calibur (Dreamcast). Awesome graphics, epic music and all running at 60 fps. Pure gold.
- Final Fantasy X.
- Rogue Squadron in Game Cube. Those graphics were just amazing at that time.
- Project Gotham Racing 3 on Xbox 360.
- Metroid Prime.
- Final Fantasy XIII on PS3. The story is mediocre, but the graphics were beautiful.
- The Last of Us on PS3.
- God of War PS4.
- Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Zelda Alttp:
When I first saw it I had only played gameboy sidescrollers. The top down view was new to me and very enticing, leaving me in awe as to what wonders the world may hold.
Zelda OoT:
I had seen other 3D games before, but an open 3D world, with a sword wielding hero was just amazing.
Metroid Prime:
Saw it first in a store at a demo machine.
Coming from the Sidescroller predecessors it was just awesome to see Samus in such fidelity, morphing into a ball and shooting in 1st person.

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 (Storyline, atmosphere, voice-acting, music, size of world)
Knights of the Old Republic (Outlandish sights, different from anything starwars, yet still Star wars-y)
Fallout 2 (Story, Setting, Combat, Dark Humor, Music ambient)
Fallout New Vegas (all of it)
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (Philosophy behind the game & dialogues, music, Western mythology & D&D creatures in a Japanese RPG)
Arcanum (Steampunk Setting, RPG options possibilities)
Mount & Blade => different from all other RPGs (range of player liberty rarely found elsewhere)
Deus Ex 1 => predating current issues & Philosophies discussed.
For their Originality, Quirkiness, cool world, or overall FUN factor:
Outcast
Beyond Good & Evil
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havok
Anachronox
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
Grim Fandango
Sam & Max
No One Lives Forever 1&2
Evil Genius
etc.

The answer is always Killer 7
I had just gotten the internet and was obsessed with scouring GameSpot.com for as many Gamecube related crap I could find.
This. Blew. My. Mind.
Still does. I'd never in my life been exposed to anything like this prior. It's still so damn weird. Arguably the all time GOAT.

Donkey Kong N64 was the first game I played that gen... it blew me away as a kid.

Red Dead 1 back in 2010. Finally bought it in November. Got everything ready like snacks n stuff, but the disk was scratched. Bought it 2nd hand, and was looking forward to killing bears, but my disk was the only thing that died that day. Replaced it the next day and never looked back. Much love to that Welsh baaastard I had to kill in Armadillo.

I also got this game for my Gamecube. And correct... Bizarre!
Well, we needed to save Irish, the drunk bastard!
