As a fan, we like to scream for the things we love. Football fans scream when a goal is being touchdowned and a Soccer fan screams when the ball is being kicked in the goal. Either angry like or just in happiness fans just scream. But what about us? The gaming fans? What do we scream about? Well, there is many things to scream about in gaming. I mean, what did most of us do when Last of Us Part II was announced? Hello and welcome to this six best moments to scream in gaming.
6. Gamecube Reveal
Nintendo fans everywhere just loved what was going to come. As soon as they announced the Gamecube, people wanted jump up and down like little kids. And the reveal of the graphics and what the console was capable of was even better. The rumors of a Serious Zelda was finally coming true and almost everyone in the conference room got up out of their chairs and screamed. At least Nintendo sticked to their words of a Serious Zelda after the Wii's launch. Yeah... There was another reason to scream...
5. The No Man's Sky Debacle
As an overhyped game and an overly talked about game, people expected too much from the game and the repeated death threats that the developers got for delaying it and delaying it again and again. People screamed and cheered for the game's release both happily and angrily. After the game's long awaited release, people were met with a different game. But you already know that. People turned to anger and the game got generally mixed reviews. Developer, Sean Murray (the man who made the promises) changed his look entirely just to go around town to not get beaten by the raging fans. There was more than screaming there, if you look at it.
4. Fallout 4 Release
Fans for ages waited for this game to come out since the hinted messages given to us in Morse Code, and the site giving us a count down on the game's release or reveal. When we heard the game wasn't coming out at all, fans were angry to see that the site was a prank and the Morse Code being a teaser for the canceled game. After 7 years since the release, we were greeted with the game during an E3 panel. We couldn't wait to get our hands the game since the release was only months away. Although the game got mixed reviews from many fans, the game has still been a loved by fans.
3. Rest in Peace, Dom
Dom is a great character in the Gears of War series and people to this day still miss him. In Gears of War 3, you see Dom suffering from losing his Wife, Maria. Even being reminded wit that in the game's cinematic prologue was heartbreaking. We weren't expecting him to die in the game, but in an epic sacrifice. Seeing him drive and screaming Maria's name made us scream "No!" with Marcus.
2. Half-Life 3 Canceled
This is an overly talked-about things, so I'll make this as short as possible. The beloved game, Half-Life, ended in a dramatic cliffhanger and has been a fan awaited event to see what happened to Gordon and Alyx after the Combine as almost killed the Resistance Homebase. The last thing you hear in the game is a radio chat that was going to help the infamous duo.
The game was announced to release in 2012, then got delayed to be released in 2015 and then was later canceled do to the selfish greed that is Steam. Because of Steam, the chances of them producing a game is very slim, so the long awaited and begged for game, Half-Life 3 or Half-life 2, Episode 2, is so far gone. At least they're working on VR Games am I right? Yeah, barely anyone plays that genre of games, so what's the point?
1. Show Time!
Smash Bros. was a great and still is played no matter what. I mean, who wouldn't like a Nintendo mash-up filled with their favorite characters from their favorite franchise. When the game was rumored to have a sequel, people were requesting characters from Nintendo's Consoles. Cloud was requested, Wario, King Dedede, almost everyone from the entire roster, but the one that got the eye of both Kojima and Nintendo was Snake. The trailer was released at that year's E3 and as the video seemed like it ended, that classic Call Sound you hear from Metal Gear made everyone stop and look in silence. Snake appeared and everyone cheered as he snuck in battle.
That's the list! Where any of these moments worth screaming? I was never there at the time, nor was I born for some of them, but I can imagine screaming my lungs out. What other moment made almost the entire population scream? I would actually love to know... There are so many, that I might have glossed over, so please tell me, and 'til next time...
