Game stories of ridiculous scale?

After remember a metal album I listened to last year, I would love to find some games where you just do horrendously epic things. Things like killing entire pantheons, taking them over and reigning over planets with an iron fist. Extinguishing civilizations, severely ravaging the time line or tearing holes in the force with your mere presence. KoToR2 I know steps into epic territory with the whole
UR A HOLE IN DA UNIVERSE
thing, but are there any other games of similarly epic stature? [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

yeah, those horses pulling the island around? GUESS WHERE YOU ARE GOING
Beat it, was sort of epic.
Does that count?
I never finish anyth
For games with "Epic Moments" I'd say Rune: Viking Warlord - the part where you drink the blood of Loki and
Does not count unless the hug is punctuated by driving a dagger into its spine.
Uh.
sort of?
did you count how many immortal titans and/or heroes of the greek myths you killed in horrible ways
True enough. I wouldn't mind replaying GoW2, in fact. My favourite part was smashing that guy's head in a giant metal door over and over. God of War is the line of thinking I'm shooting for. Are there really so few games where people do insanely epic things? Small-minded developers!
Fei, the main character of the game (and the guy in my avatar), is an iteration of a child named Abel, who was on an interstellar transport. On the ship, Abel made contact with the Wave Existence (WE), a being from a higher plane of existence, which was trapped in a device called the Zohar. Making contact with the WE essentially made his soul immortal. Until the WE can be freed, Abel will continue to be reborn.
Also on-board the ship was a biological weapon named Deus. It took over the ship, causing the captain to initiate the self-destruct sequence. The wreckage crashed on the planet below, where the game takes place.
Over time, an evil nation called Solaris came to power. It hid behind a cloaking device, manipulating the surface from afar.
In short - Fei slays one of his past iterations that hounds him throughout the game, slays Deus, helps an enemy transcend humanity by joining with the WE, destroys Solaris, destroys the Church, destroys the zombies, which were created by Solaris, destroys the Soylent System, eventually stops humans from devolving into mounds of gelatinous goo that try to rejoin Deus as raw genetic material, and gets the girl. Pretty epic, IMO.
Half Life 2, and Episode 2 in particular are pretty epic.
Mass Effect too.
The Darkness has some surprisingly epic moments. Not enough for my liking though.
HL2 isn't really what I'm looking for. Mass Effect fits the bill.
The album that inspired this post is about a man. This man got angry at the gods. So angry at the gods that he decided that he would create an army to battle them and set out to create it. Eventually he takes over the world, wages a war on the Gods and wins. He then becomes a God himself and scorches the Earth.
That's what I consider epic.
Not soon enough.
My best guess, March at the earliest, October more probably. You know how these things get pushed back and back.
Still, Brutal Legend is right at the top of my most wanted list. I think only uncharted 2 and mass effect come close in terms of sheer hype for me.
Heavenly sword has some awesome moments, even if the game is overall a let down. Still worth a play though.
Also, i second Earth Defense Force for huge battles though there's not much story.

You can't get much more epic than that.

You just described every JRPG. Maybe they don't like Christians over thurr?
Yea, but what other JRPG pissed off the clergy quite like Xenogears? :P

Yeah my first vote is for Xenogears. Also, Breath of Fire II does the whole "pissing off a religion" too.
I'd also say Valkyrie Profile, since you
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
It was pretty brutal, to say the least.
In a word it's pretty epic, fighting thirty something guys in one staircase without getting hit is the very definition of badass.
Mass Effect bears another mention. The last four or so hours are the most intense I've been a part of for quite some time.
Origin is the exact same as my Steam, in case you're needing a Support or Assault in BF3.
Metal........GEAR?
Celeste [Switch] - She'll be wrestling with inner demons when she comes...
Super Mario Wonder - Wowie Zowie!
By the by, what album is this?
Anyway, on topic, what about X3? in theory and occasional practice (and with the right mods) you can create a titanic manufacturing and military empire capable of completily conquoring the universe.

Also, Ginormo Sword was posted several months ago on this forum. If you haven't played it, you get to wield big swords. The word "big" in this context is an understatement, ginormous might work.
