Memorable God-like Moments

[billyro]

Have you ever played a game for a brief amount of time, where you are just absolutely unstoppable? A killing machines? A GOD?!?!!

 

Well, I know I have. There is this one that I have nagging my brain about, so I thought I'd share it before I end up forgetting. :smile:

 

 

 

 

The story goes: my brother and I were playing Call of Duty: MW3 on the Xbox (he was player 1), and we were playing the mode "Infected". For those who don't know what Infected is, it's a mode where 1 person on the map (chosen randomly at the start) is the "infected", and he has to to kill other people to "infect" them until everyone is infected. Once said person has infected someone else, their guns are removed and they are left with only a knife and throwing knives, making killing the rest of the players quite difficult. Usually the Infected dies 4 times more than he kills.

 

Anway, we were playing for a few rounds, surviving until the end, generally staying mid-range on the ladder by the end of the matches, getting our fair share of kills for both teams. Now, generally those who are infected early don't get really high scores due to their high death count... This results being generally mid to low range on the ladder. The game makes a "thump" weird sound whenever someone gets infected, and usually at the start of a game, you'll hear it immediately, or once that person has respawned and then killed someone.

 

Well, it turns out that I was first infected for one of our matches. Immediately I gunned down the person in front of me, infecting him and losing my guns in the process, but I didn't stop there. I charged down the next player who was still bewildered, killed him, turned around, killed another guy, kept running, killed another, turned the corner and killed yet another, then continued running until I killed another. That was 6 kills as first infected within 10 seconds. Someone then got the better of me and killed me, but I respawned and managed to kill another 3 people until everyone had been infected.

 

I had 9 kills, 1 death, almost triple the score of the person who was second on the ladder, and I just made the fastest infected match I've ever seen... about 1 minute.

 

 

 

 

So yeah, that's my story of becoming an Infected Legend.

 

Has anyone else experienced a supreme god-like playing ability while playing any games? Even if it was for only a few seconds, I want to know!

(Doesn't have to be multiplayer. ;) )

Penta Kills on League of Legends, give you that moment of Godliness.

 

ive had some pretty good moments on BFBC2 (the only online FPS i play).l

Crisis Core:

 

There's a spot in Banora that you have to cut down Artillery shells and I got all ten. Perfectly timed.

[Thor.]

Ratchet and clank crack in time platinum trophy, enough said. That was a true moment of epicness with all those logic puzzles, my favorite type of puzzle :biggrin:

[hoofhearted4]

Yea platinum for that game was a pain. Took me a bit to get all those puzzles

[Vindekarr]

Gears Of War, Judgement? two. First, in survival mode. In survival, you have to protect a generator from ten waves of enemies, each increasingly insane than the last, enemies come in a variety of types, mainly humanoid Grenadiers with rifles, shotguns, and bolos, but there's also Serapedes, which can only be harmed by shots to the tail, various huge melee enemies like the Corpser, and everyone's favourite, the Ticker, which is like a gerbil strapped to a kilo of C4. When you get to wave 10 though, it's pretty intense stuff, it lasts a LONG time, and the atmosphere is further magnified by for the first five minutes, kills not counting(you can kill enemies but they don't count for wave progress) When the dust finaly settles, on Insane dificulty, and you're still alive as is the generator, you feel like a real badass.

 

The other I would mention would be the time today I won a game of Overrun(same rule as Survival except the enemies are player controlled) in which I won an entire game, in a single life as a Ticker. A foolish defender kicked me over their barrier, and as a result I then ran and hid in a drainpipe, before shooting out and hitting the generator. I managed to destroy it before anyone else arrived, winning the game in one life, as the weakest possible class(tickers have no attacks that can be used against players and only 10 HP, most players have 400, they're just a landmine with legs)

 

Guild Wars 2. This was quite a moment, and I still quote it every now and then, back in the olden days of AC, before the buff, when this was one of the easier dungeons, I was leading a fairly inexperienced all-guild group through it on my Guardian(essentially a paladin, good DPS, huge durability melee tank/healer) On the final boss, Howling King, my group were all killed of D/C'ed, except for me. With the boss on 22% health, I decided I was either going to Valhalla as a hero or I was going to smack that overgrown lizard down. And that's precicely what I did, my tank was strong enough, and my evades were well enough timed, that over the next 15 minutes, I was able to solo the final boss, much to the approval of my group.

 

Gran Turismo 5. Perhaps not a killing machine moment, but finish the 24 Hours Of Le Mans event in game is probably the proudest moment I've ever had in recent gaming memory. Not only is it a punishingly hard race against fearsome opposition, but to make matters worse, it literally lasts for 24 hours real time, and the weather in game changes dynamically, as does the time of day, which goes through a full 24 hours day/night cycle starting and ending a 3:00 PM.

 

For those who haven't played racing games the Le Mans 24 hour race is one of the toughest in the real world, even in good weather, I got unlucky on that front, at around midnight it started pouring rain, and let me tell you, a race car of this level of speed, gets pretty hard to drive when it's pitch black, a handful of degrees above freezing, foggy, and pelting rain-and it's not like you're in a road car either, racing tyres struggle horribly in wet conditions. When I finally, on my eighth three-hour stint crossed the finish line, that really was a special moment.

 

No game has ever thrown me a more insane challenge than that, and normally I wouldn't consider it, but Gran Turismo is one of my all time favourites, and with the PS3 era about to end, I wanted to have that win as a final capstone for my time on the console, and so I can go into GT6 knowing that I made myself the best GT5 player I could be.

Final Fantasy Dissidia 012:

 

I played mainly as Yuna and all I had to do was stand back and use magic. My opponent never even had a chance.

[Thor.]

Borderlands 2, a always epic moment against raid bosses, that is if you survive. :teehee:

[Rennn]

Killzone 3 online: I got a 32:2 kill/death ratio playing as a saboteur. That includes a couple total 4 versus 1 victories where I killed entire squads with guerrilla warfare and well placed proximity mines. The next match I sunk to 24:2, and to this day, I have been unable to replicate the original 32:2 in any online game.

Halo 4, playing Spartan Ops on Legendary(highest difficulty, punishing and virtually impossible without dying repeatedly) Halo really does a good job of making you feel like either a true supersoldier when you're doing well, or a complete and utter derp, in this particular battle I was really feeling the former. My loadout was basically what most seasoned Halo players bring to CQB; an MA5C assault rifle, which is a firebreathing dragon in CQB, and an M6D handgun, which is essentially a Desert Eagle. I was getting swarmed. You get that with aliens, but the mission was one spawn from being over, and my co-op buddies and I were damned if we were going to die here after going flawless this far.

 

The aliens came, and we weren't ready, none of us had much ammo. I went through my second last rifle mag gunning down a Warrior, then my last mag was spent downing a Zealot, so I pull out my pistol, 3 mags, mag 1 clears 6 grunts and saves a reloading teamey from a de-shielded Minor, mag 2 goes much then same way, and by that point it wasn't a gunfight, it was fisticuffs! So I see another Warrior running at me with a Plasma Sword, in the heat of battle I do something stone cold moronic, I charge him, bash him over the head before he can swing at me, and then jump back as he swings, and misses, I jump in again, hit him again, dropping his shields, and then put my last remaining pistol shot through his mouth, grab his sword, and then finish off the 4 remaining Grunt Imperials.

 

By that point the others had cleared their quaters, and the game was done. A level with no deaths, no reloads from checkpoint, and in which we all had less than a full mag left. As a matter of fact between the four of us, there wasn't enough ammo to fill a single MA5 mag.
