Vergil's Judgement Cut is my favorite video game sound ever. It's just so unique and cool sounding, especially after pulling one off in the heat of battle.

The Binding of Isaac's Dime chime. Finding a dime was a pretty darn big deal!

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Sound a gnome makes in WoW when he dies. Also, the gnome /train.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Dialog from The Many
in System Shock 2

"What is a drop of rain, compared to the storm? What is a thought, compared to a mind? Our unity is full of wonder, which your tiny individualism cannot even conceive."

so creepy

 

[GodzillaDB]

The Killzone chirp no doubt.

Killzone Chirp

Killzone 2 chirp

Is this the Killzone sound you are talking about:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVSJg6zV8XU

?

Nothing beats the satisfaction.

Killzone 2 Chirp

Killzone 2 Chirp.

Killzone chirp, easily.

Killzone chirp

The killzone chirp has been my iPhone message notification sound for ages now. It's so good.

Killzone chirp is still my favorite

killzone 2 chirp

Or the Killzone chirp.

Absolutely this.

Killzone 2 chirp, not the regular chirp but the headshot chirp.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bwMvUaXMmM

Killzone chirp.

I buy the game for this.

I think we need a new Killzone.

Came to write this.

Yep, the Killzone chirp.

I loved the shotgun headshot squish and chirp in Killzone 2.

My fellow sons and daughters of Helghan!

 

[OmegaDL50]

Diablo III - Legendary Drop

Is one of my favorite sounds

Super Mario Power Up is another one.

And the FF7 Sword Slash sound effect.

There is also a bonus jingle that plays in the Disgaea games but I can't find it.

 

[Axbarn]

"Next-Gen Filter" in Uncharted. It was a play on the fact that next-gen filters look like turd, in especially many early next-gen games (when last-gen was called "Next gen")

Incidentally... the filter is completely brown as if to say it looks like shit.

 

[nekomix]

All the sounds in Twilight Princess's Temple of Time. Dat Dominion Rod sound, sogood.gif

 

[Firebrand]

HQ hits chopping wood in Final Fantasy XIV. Such a satisfying "crunch" sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvptkcHlQkg#t=50s

Binary Domain's "PING!" sound for headshotting robots was also pretty good.

TF2 achievement sound (usually accompanied by a slight freeze): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NnF0vpdlJo

 

[Shogun1337]

Anyone that played Valkyrie Profile has this in their subconscious

 

[Popsickles]

I know its not good to hear as it means you are in the shit but I love the MGS exclamation sound
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qbeEO58Hlfo

 

[BGBW]

When you punched someone in the balls in the N64 wrestling games and you heard that bell sound.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

The killzone chirp for sure.

The aerial hit sound in Rocket League is a new favorite.

 

[vetrox]

Armor shards in Quake 3 Arena

 

[Travo]

The 1Up mushroom sound.

 

[Solrac]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPjJCVylFBo

 

[Razzorn34]

The old Everquest level up sound. Nothing else comes close.

http://www.rozziland.com/eq/levelup.wav

 

[Lord British]

CTRL+F "Quad damage"

What the fuck?

 

[Dunan]

The female announcer in Wipeout HD when you nail a perfect lap.

This right here.

UI sound-effect-wise, I have always been partial to those of Final Fantasy 8. I used the "stepped on a save point" sound as my computer's alert sound for a while.

 

[Seven4sses]

Ra and Poseidon ultimates in SMITE.

To add to this, I like Bakasura's sound effects when he eats/regurgitates minions and Ne Zha's wheel noise when he does his ultimate.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Bad Company 2 had some pretty impressive sound design.

 

[ZarKryn7]

The gem collect sound that began in Spyro 2.


Ooooh sooo satisfying.

https://youtu.be/Z7gK8NXI4_w

 

[ryanmac]

I loved the concussion sound of a nearby explosion in BF2BC.

 

[SonyToo!™]

Binary Domain's "PING!" sound for headshotting robots was also pretty good.

Agreed, BD has crazy good game feel to it, It's amazing how SEGA made shooting metal just as fun as a Doom shotgun in flesh.

And by rights it should become an staple just like the Doom shotgun, as this is how you do shooting metal.

Space Marine 40K has some good sound effects too, especially the Bolt Gun.

 

[Wasp]

Streets of Rage 2 level cleared sound effect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckyMw0-E4TM

 

[Monocle]

The swooping camera sound after an epic takedown in Burnout 3, followed by the rest of the game audio zooming back into normal time.

 

[Syf]

A Terran siege tank line.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

The M4A1-S has the most incredibly satisfying swish to it. Shame the clip is gimped.

 

[Seraph_Nicholas]

Every part of a Zandatsu in Metal Gear Rising, especially the ripper mode Zandatsu where you have all day to line up flawless cuts.

 

[Mozz-eyes]

https://youtu.be/llyoYR8HlfE

Couldn't find a good video, but the seismic charges in Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike have always been my favourite sound effect.

I love the quiet and sudden thundering explosion.

 

[nkarafo]

The sound of the doors opening and closing in Doom

This.

 

[AoM]

Headshots in Killing Floor

 

[The Baron Count]

The hitmarker sound in Call of Duty

Yuuuuup. Came here to say this.

I think that sound made getting hits ten times more satisfying without most people even noticing it probably.

 

[jett]

Platinum is the ABSOLUTE KING of audiovisual feedback in video games. Their unique brand of SFX when doing any sort of move is pretty much bliss.

Right now I'll go with MGR's parry, it never, never gets old to pull it off. You feel like a badass 100% of the time.

But really, pretty much everything you do flashes and sounds in a way that makes you feel awesome.

Transformers continues that glorious legacy.

 

[deoee]

Got another one:

The Smartgun

[Bay Maximus]

Streets of Rage 2 level cleared sound effect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckyMw0-E4TM

Oh yeah.

Also, hitting people with the pipe never gets old.

 

[ScaryShark]

I'm obsessed with the tranq headshot sound in Phantom Pain.

The sound design in Vanquish was pretty mediocre actually, especially when you compare it to what was happening on screen. Devastation is probably the best sounding game they've produced to date.

 

[LittleIdeaSLT]

Hmm, off the top of my head...

Guard impact - Soul Calibur 2

Level up ding - City of Heroes

 

[Infinitemadness]

That crack sound when a Rogue in World of Warcraft stun locks someone with a Cheap Shot or a Kidney Shot.

 

[jroc74]

Mario's mushroom power-up.

Always gets a vote from me.

Good old Wilhelm scream.

I admit I didnt read past the first page yet....but had to give props to the Wilhelm scream.

Its truly something you cant unhear.

3 pages and no Crackdown orb? shame

http://majornelson.com/2007/02/27/download-the-agility-orb-sound/

This too.

 

[woopWOOP]

Whenever those fly enemies fall from stage after jumping on their heads in Mario Land.

NNYYYYEEEEEEEOAWW

 

[Endo Punk]

Collecting a ring in Sonic. Bliss.

 

[benny_a]

The Killzone 2 headshot chirp is so good.

But the thermal imploder is the best sound in recent memory.

 

[Hypron]

The six million dollar man punch in MGSV is just great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mva-B9hLm9o

The sound design in Vanquish was pretty mediocre actually, especially when you compare it to what was happening on screen. Devastation is probably the best sounding game they've produced to date.

Vanquish absolutely has got great audio cues. You can tell what attacks are coming simply by listening to the sound and/or what the enemies are saying. You can parry invisible enemies simply by listening to their footsteps, which is super satisfying.

 

[Head.spawn]

I was always partial to the Luminaire from Chrono Trigger...

Until I heard the Thermal Imploder going off like every other minute with my sub woofer cranked.

Goddamn

The PS1 console on sound is pretty epic as well.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

Biotic Explosions in Mass Effect 3. So much oomph.

 

[Crzy1]

I love most of the interface audio from The Secret World, never gets old turning in missions.

https://soundcloud.com/slipperhero/a-selection-of-interface-and

The one that starts at :35 is my favorite.
