That's right. Not even the ending or sniper battle in MGS3 can hold a candle to this one. Anything in Mass Effect or Final Fantasy, even in Final Fantasy 7, INCLUDING Crisis Core, Cerebus and Advent Children come close to this. The entire emotional content in Gears 2 put to together is a mere 5-year-old's tantrum compared to this incredible moment. Are you ready for it? Here it is:
At the start of the first Half Life 2, shortly after you exit the train station, a CP knocks a can onto the floor and orders you to pick it up.Â
Immediantly fury and righteous rage will course through you like you had just been connected to a live wire. Who is this ex-human who dares to order the prophet of humanity to pick up a can? With great justice you will pick the can and hurl it at his face, only to be beaten to near death. However, as you bleed to death on the ground, your defiance will roar only stronger, and your hate at the enemy will truly soar.Â
I defy you to find a more emotionally charged moment than this.Â
