10 Powerful Video Game Moments That Gave You The Chills

4. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater's Final Salute

Although people keep expecting him too, MGS mastermind Hideo Kojima is yet to turn his hand to film, instead choosing the medium of video games to create amazingly detailed works of fiction that have helped amass a worldwide following over the years.

It's easy these days - especially looking to the flying whale and horn-headed protagonist of Phantom Pain - to only think of the franchise as a bloated mass of explosions, one-liners and roaring robots, but when Kojima needs to turn up the emotional-beats, he does so like none other.

In addition he's the master of the late-game reveal, tying some startling revelations surrounding antagonist The Boss' intentions with that of your own. Following a pretty weighty in-game moment where you'll have to finish her off yourself, it's the final cutscene that has a teary-eyed Eva describing how The Boss' mission was to die by your hand all along, rounding off Snake Eater as one of gaming's finest.
