Those "HOLY MOLY" moments...

Has to be when i installed and played Guild Wars, was my first mmo and it felt and looked amazing.
 
No spoilers needed, roughly in chronological order:
- Falcon on the Amiga. Wow, a flight sim...
- Wolf3d (i.e. the one back in 1991) when most games were in 2d
- Doom networked for the first FPS against people
- CS1.6 when you've just taken down all 6 members of the other team on your own
- Borderlands (1). The real end of game boss. Never beat him
- WoT. Just done 6k damage in a PTA
- Flying a Huey in DCS in VR
 
First ever Tank fight in Left 4 Dead Beta in the subway station.

HL2, Figthing tripods for the first time, the first combine gunship, and Ravenholm.

The new Doom. Argent Tower fights.

Serious Sam Second Encounter : 8 player LAN coop, one giant boss, and dozens of enemies rampaging around. Laughing like a drain for 30 mins.

Medal Of Honor Omaha Beach assault.

Call Of Duty: Stalingrad assault.

Soma : Getting lost at the bottom of the abyss in a storm.

Half Life 2 and Minecraft on the Oculus DK1.

When I saw a family member playing the 1st crash bandicoot on the playstation (1st time I'd seen a playstation in action). The improvement in graphics over my snes was insane. I thought that was the pinnacle of gaming TBH lol.

If it has to be PC, then when I saw a friend playing everquest before I even owned a PC. That was an epic looking game.
 
One of the Heroes 3 expansion campaigns playing Tower . After a grueling, heavy loses gauntlet of ever stronger packs, you reach the final one: 3500 Nagas. Big Holy Moly moment and, needless to say, I was slaughtered the first time I reached them.
 
The biggest wow was EQ in 1999 and the 3d open world blow my mind just running around in a 3d world, I died so many times and I did laugh quite a few times early on.
 
One of the pokemon games when i was a kid, maybe gold/silver?

Finish the i gyms and elite 4 only to find out you then go to the world from red/blue and can do all those badges and elite 4 too! Was amazed!

Unlocking Drumstick in diddy kong racing by running over a frog that looked like a chicken

The opening to the last of us
 
Darksiders, the ending.

As War of the Four Horsemen who was framed as the trigger of the end war, heaven hunts you and hell hates you and the Charred Council, the governing force of creation has enslaved and shackled you into doing their bidding.

At the end of the game you are public enemy number #1 and are now at war against everything, even the Charred Council. During the ending cinematic the last of the 7 seals is broken, meaning the end war between Heaven and Hell is on. Uriel, a champion of Heaven tells War "You will be hunted! the White City for certain, the Council, and there will be others!" "You would wage this war alone?!" and War shows his hand revealing the broken seal and replies "No..." "Not alone" as the camera looks over his shoulder to the sky showing 3 flaming streaks raining across the sky indicating the arrival of his brothers, the Horsemen of the apocalypse
 
Final battle in Baldur's Gate, when I was a druid and basically mass summoned everything I could to zerg it, haha.
Bioshock Infinite ending.
Mass Effect 1 ending.
The run up to, and battle with, BNK3R in Borderlands 2.
 
The first time i played a game with more than beeps and with actual voice acting.. my dad bought a PC with a CD-ROM drive. The game? The Dig.
 
The bit at the start of the first Far Cry game, where you are making your way through a bog standard internal underground dungeon of some sorts, and then you come across a split in the wall which gives you a glimpse of the lush outside jungle and the distant terrain. Those graphics at the time really wowed me.
