Smash Bros Home Run Hit, no contest.

Landing a bat smash attack.

[IAmRandom31]

Popping the space helmets off the dudes on Mars in Destiny. Been awhile so forget their names. But love that sound it makes when their helmet explodes open after being headshot.

 

[SliChillax]

Most of Mass Effect 3's biotic Vanguard powers.

I was also gunna say this, so instead I will say the sound of getting a big healing capsule in Megaman X.

 

[Zambayoshi]

Mine is the Terran academy sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3WimCPUkQY

Actually quite a famous and oft-used effect known as the Howie Scream - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howie_scream

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Mass Effect 3 Biotic Explosion

ME3 had great biotic sounds, but the weapons sounded terrible in my opinion.

The DLC weapons sounded better.

 

[DavidDesu]

That REALLY satisfying sound when you zoom in and out when using binoculars in MGS. I remember it especially from the MGS1 but I'm pretty sure in Ground Zeroes (and thus MGS5) they use the same or very similar sound effect. Just feels like something out of a movie. I zoom in and out way too much as a result. MGS5/Ground Zeroes does have some great sound effects with the iDroid.

SW Battlefront of course is effectively like an interactive sound board of all of Ben Burtt's best sound effects used in the Star Wars films. Absolutely epic, and everything has a visceral feel and great 3D placement when using headphones. It's lush audio design but largely as a result of Ben Burtt's great sound effects work over the years!

 

["D"]

5 threads in and no one mentioned the parry sound effect/stagger in Bloodborne?

....trippin'

 

[Zyrox]

Junpei's "Clean hit" sounds in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. I don't even mind getting comboed by him because it sounds so good and satisfying.

Just brings back the memories.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

I've always been partial to the guitar TWAAAAANNNNNG that signifies the end of a gunfight in Gears of War.

 

[Persona7]

There is a weird sound effect in PT that reminds me of a sound effect in Eternal Darkness. I don't know how to describe it...

 

[Doc Holliday]

The virtua fighter hit sounds. When I first heard the sound of Akiras moves connecting my jaw dropped to the floor.

 

[jmood88]

Couldn't find the sound on youtube when I first posted so I had to upload it:

Transistor's OVC Terminal opening sound.

 

[kagamin]

The beginning part of the quest clear theme from MH4U:
https://youtu.be/Mv8-Pz0p_K8

 

[Booshka]

Dark Souls summoning/invading sound

As a Dark Souls Invader, I live for this sound.

 

[Alienous]

The Killzone 2 chirp.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Dark Souls summoning/invading sound

As a Dark Souls Invader, I live for this sound.

I got too much enjoyment from this comment.

 

[Voyevoda]

For a recent one, the headshot noise in MGSV. Oddly satisfying and lets you know you nailed the shot.

Came here to say this. So, this.

 

[CountAntonius]

Minecraft's pop when you pick something up and Rocket League's chime when you hit an aerial.

 

[dci260]

Gears headshot squish..

Gears of War sniper headshot.

Splodin heads/gibs in Gears.

Killin' fools in Gears. The chainsaw, the shotguns, the headshots. Yum.

I do agree on this one played all 3 of them hearing that headshot makes me smile.

I love that pop

 

[BouncyFrag]

Most of Mass Effect 3's biotic Vanguard powers.

[thrillho88]

Speaking of Star Wars. I always loved the sound of the seismic charge from the Clone Wars (thus appearing in Rebel Strike).

[Emedan]

Either the M1 Garand plink from the OP, or the CoD headshot plink.

I was gonna say M1 Garand reloading plink sound from Medal of honour Allied assault, so satisfying man.

 

[Creaking]

This sound

And lots of others in Duke Nukem 3D. There aren't a lot of sounds in that game compared to modern titles, but they really made every sound count.

 

[Einchy]

.

Late as hell.

 

[KrM DeLorean]

Capcom Q Sound Intros

also:

VS screens in the original Street Fighter.

Strider's Sword

Mine is the Terran academy sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3WimCPUkQY

Actually quite a famous and oft-used effect known as the Howie Scream - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howie_scream

I always wondered WTF is happening inside the Academy
Why the hell is someone screaming

 

[Alexm92]

Id have to say an exploding headshot in RE4

 

[Shuggananas]

Quake 3 hitsound and nothing comes close

Silenced PP7 in goldeneye is pretty rad tho

 

[Yasawas]

The Street Fighter III parry sound. I'm awful at 3S but I love it and always get so excited about successfully parrying something and hearing that wonderful sound that I delay slightly and get my face fucked in rather than take advantage myself. I've been after a clean version for a text tone for years but no dice.

[Fat4all]

In the Medal of Honor 2010 game there was a very satisfying sound and visual cue for getting headshots.

 

[kitschbeam]

Sneak attack "kthunk" sound in Skyrim.

So good.

 

[| Praxis |]

Most recently it has just been turning the viper on its axis when stationary in Elite Dangerous. It sounds like a lion growling.

 

[Spman2099]

Junpei's baseball bat ping in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.

So. Damn. Satisfying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM46DxfyrAQ

Oh, and Cody's shoulder toss sound in Final Fight.

https://youtu.be/6S6ar3A5Wz0?t=1m46s

 

[magicalsoundshower]

I'm kind of weirded out that the Mega Man robot master "explosion" sound hasn't been named yet because it's definitely one of my favorites.

Although I admit I prefer the MM7 version. I wish I could find a sound file somewhere.

 

[Reedirect]

Dark Souls parry sound followed by a super satisfying riposte.

 

[Phat Michael]

Mass effect 3 biotic explosion. Best video game sound effect ever. Mass effect 3 has the best sounding weapons and effects.

 

[N30RYU]

SW Battlefront thermal grenade sound is awesome.

 

[Iokis]

The "Good Luck" preceding a mission on Lylat Wars/Starfox 64.

A black hole exploding on Geometry Wars.

The Game Over sting from Ikaruga.

Also the boss approaching sting from Ikaruga.

An incoming airstrike on Worms.

The opening sting from Super Metroid (right before the title screen music starts).

The coin sound effect in Mario (did this ever change?)

The sound of a Pokéball clicking shut in later generation games.

This list got longer than I thought and this is just off the top of my head.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

The Killzone chirp no doubt.

First thing that came to my mind. I have it as my phone notification, I like it so much.

 

[TaterTots]

The head shot in Gears.

 

[Game4life]

The gun parry in Bloodborne.

 

[thatJohann]

"Get ready, Fight!" - dead or Alive 5

 

[exfatal]

The shine and zoomed in effect they have when u learn a Arte mid battle in tales of games
Also
"Go for Broke!" in MvC3
"It's Heaven or Hell.. Fight!"

The sound of a Pokéball clicking shut in later generation games.

this one is a good one as well
also Hyper beam in Generation 4 & 5

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Killzone chirp is GOAT

 

[Servbot24]

Mega Man X, Storm Tornado

 

[Bedameister]

Almost every sound in Half-Life 1 and 2
