Moments where the player transitions from one state of mind in a game to another are great:

Reaching World 8 for the first time in Super Mario Bros 3 and seeing how massive it is

Discovering the Special Zone in Super Mario World

The Nibelheim flashback in FF7

Crossing the bridge in FF1

First seeing the army of Metal Gear Rays in MGS2

Reaching Anor Londo for the first time in Dark Souls 1

Time I snorted some crack off the ole wife's stinky pussy lmfao, was raiding Uldaman (Yes, 50 mans, like back in the good old days, none of this casual poo poo(, poo poo was loving Choice bros! Dip the wick and set fire to that rear end, that's my motto as far as gaming, Hell I gave up gaming after my wife started lating me gently caress her pussy.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
Was on a cross-country visit @ my brother's and he had just bought a Wii + Wii fitness board and he was super excited for everyone to play. He has never been into gaming and really wanted to help my sister in law shred some post-pregnancy weight. So we all make our Miis which everyone probably knows are player-made avatars and we've all 3 made them to look like ourselves as much as possible and we do the initial fitness test which ends with doing a weigh-in on the balance board and it gauges your form in order to give you a personalized work-out routine and nothing much happens when me and my brother does this and then it is my sister in law's turn and the game does a WOooooOoopp! sound while her Mii balloons up in size and grows fat and it is so funny to me that a laugh until I cry and I end up going home Saturday instead of staying for Sunday

Riding into Mexico for the first time in Red Dead Redemption. When I did it it was evening in the game and you enter this whole new beautiful environment you haven't seen before in the game and the music is really chill. For some reason this really stuck with me

I also love it when games have a "victory lap" postgame where the Big Evil is defeated and you can go around and see how the world is different and everyone is reacting - Earthbound and Super Mario Odyssey come to mind, and FFX-2 is pretty much a whole game of this

Dunno if Dragon Quest invented this but it's been in every one as far as I know.

The motorcycle scene in FFVII was awesome and a great way to wrap up the intro portion of the game.

It's such a bizarre, abrupt tonal shift, like up until that point you guys are dodging swarms of flesh eating bats and solving the secret of the ooze and shooting cannons off of humongous diesel trucks and entering a giant worm to blow it up from inside and then... that happens.
