For me it was God Of War 2. The scale, set pieces, general epicness. I still can't believe that game was made on PS2

As a child it was Ocarina of Time, hyrule field felt massive the first time I walked onto it.
As an adult the closest thing I can think of is the trails games, where damn near every title ends on one or two massive twists that were extremely foreshadowed without being obvious where I didn't get them ahead of time. I'm almost always able to guess where stuff is going in story heavy games so for one series to surprise me multiple times always leaves me in awe.

Wing Commander 2 when:
Silent Hill when:
Freespace 2 when:
But in terms of tech, I guess in Dungeon Siege when you first make that first seamless indoor/outdoor transition. Too bad about the rest of the game. That, and coming out of the beginning bunker in Far Cry.
Spirit commits suicide.
LIsa realizes what she is.
the Colossus gets shredded by a SECOND Sathanas.

The first time I saw Turtles Arcade game I think my brain couldn't comprehend this
The sprites were more than perfect'
Konami did an amazing job bringing the cartoon Toitles to life

I was losing my mind during the final boss battle. Absolutely insane.
Metal Gear Solid 2 will always be the game I think of when asked questions like this one. It was so far beyond anything else, visually, mechanically and aurally, that it quite literally ruined other games for me for a good six months.

Also, everything about Cavalier in DMC5, cause having bike as an actual weapon in a high end action game is something that I never even dreamed about.
Going from God of War 2 ending CGI into God of War 3 which starts moments after 2 was mind melting.
Shit looked better than the damn CGI. GOW3 was so good.

Half-Life 2 was mindblowing when it came out, recently GoW and Spiderman impressed the hell out of me.
Mario 64 for me, I saw it on Gamesmaster or similar in England.
I'd only had an Amiga before and I couldn't comprehend how Mario could do so many moves, how it was possible for the player to have control over it all.
I wasn't disappointed when I got an n64 and Mario!

I think I was 14 or 15 when I first played Mario 64. It was better than the best sex I've ever had
Playing a game like DOOM at almost max settings at over 60FPS most of the time on my PC.

LOOK AT THAT FFS. It's spoiler-ish, but worth it.
You also gotta watch his Dishonored 2 montages. I didn't play that one, but oh my, OH MY

Recently it was the matterfall final boss. I was sitting there going. How is this possible. Eventually i got stuck in the bosses shield and fell through the level. It gave me a level complete and the trophy popped.
Oh....we're talking graphics....then uncharted 4.
Still screw that final boss.

MGS2 for me too but the infamous ice cubes. I heard about it a little while after and didn't believe it till I tried it and I could not comprehend how or even why they did it.
Yep! The game that made me realize this is next gen.Everyone saying GOW, but my "this isn't possible" moment was watching Gears 1 the first time. I couldn't believe a game could look like that:
Uncharted 3s set pieces. Even though they were insane for the sake of being insane I loved every second of it.
