Favorite Video Game Cutscenes?

Here's one of my favorites.

Reina and Nishiki in Yakuza Kiwami



It felt so emotional. Poor Reina.

Since I'm currently playing the first Kessen, here's a memorable one from the second one, and I bet very few of you have seen it.

Before Kratos, there was Liu Bei.

Curse your mandate!

I also really like the epic opening intro to Yakuza 4.



I miss this game!

Another game I've been playing recently is Unreal Tournament 3. And it has this awesome Necris invasion cutscene:

The opening intro to Resident Evil 3 was also pretty epic. I miss the days when Resident Evil was actually GOOD and not the generic action game crap it has become today.

I cried so much the first time...

The opening cutscene from Chrono Cross. This game could be hit or miss sometimes but this is one of the best openings in a game I've ever seen.

Not really a cutscene but I love the dance sequence in the gentlemen's club in Yakuza Kiwami.

Way too many to pick just one.

Games from Grasshopper tend to have most of my favorites; the Russian roulette scene in Killer7, Dr. Peace or Charlie MacDonald from the No More Heroes games, the more surreal stuff from Killer is Dead.

Metal Gear series also has a lot of cool stuff. Mainly the gun juggling and CQC from 3.

Bayonetta and DMC have a lot of great over the top stuff.

Deadly Premonition is a bit of a gold mine, a bit strange even compared to the stuff it’s based off of. The scene where York goes to eat at the diner after the lumber mill was a defining moment of his character for me.

While not exactly 'cutscenes', a few that come into mind is the Kingdom Hearts 1 opening intro, the classic WoW cinematic, pretty much all Dragon Age: Origins cutscenes, I love that game.

Here's one which most people probably won't recognise however, the opening intro to Phantasy Star Online Ep 1 & 2.

I originally went in-depth on these cutscenes and wrote big paragraphs about them, but WrongPlanet failed to load after I hit "Submit", and everything was gone after I clicked Refresh. I'm not typing out all that s**t again, so I'm just gonna list them:

-The dialog with the Happy Mask Salesman after he teaches you the Song of Healing in Majora's Mask.

-The opening cutscene in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's World of Light (please don't reply with spoilers, as I won't be playing the game until Christmas).

SPOILERS AHEAD:
POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON GATES TO INFINITY
POKEMON SUN AND MOON
KIRBY'S RETURN TO DREAMLAND
SUPER MARIO GALAXY

-The cutscenes where Munna betrays you and Hydreigon saves you in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity.

-One of the ending cutscenes in Pokémon Sun and Moon, where Lillie gets on a boat bound for Kanto, leaving Hau in tears.

-The scene after defeating Landia where Magolor betrays you in Kirby's Return to Dreamland.

-The cutscene after the last Bowser fight in Super Mario Galaxy, where the Lumas save Mario from a black hole, Rosalina tells Mario about the universe, and the Mushroom Kingdom is reborn.

I could name more, but after what just happened, I'd rather finish this post...
