Many great nominations from folks on the previous page. A couple of them (pretty much everything everybody's mentioned from a Metal Gear Solid game, honestly) would've been on my list, as well. I think I'd have settled on the microwave corridor from MGS4 to represent the series.
The end of Marvel's Spider-Man really stuck with me. Both the boss and the following cutscene.
I'd also give a shout to the Citadel DLC from Mass Effect 3, particularly the party thrown at the end, and its melancholy coda (although all of it is superb).
My best moment from the Uncharted series would probably be controlling young Nate in Drake's Deception, and finally getting to see how he and Sully met. I think very highly of the caravan assault towards the end of the game, but there was something magical about the whole flashback which grounded both characters for me (and not a secret brother in sight).
Others worth mentioning in brief...
1) Pulling off any Hitman assignment with a Silent Assassin rating.
2) The tomb at the end of "The Nightmare" DLC from Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
3) Playing bridge with Firefly in Batman: Arkham Origins.
4) Starting by rolling up thumbtacks, ending by rolling up constellations, in Katamari Forever.
5) The ending of RiME.
6) The "Leap of Faith" sub-level from James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing.
7) Doing battle with the Egg Dragoon in Sonic Unleashed.
8) Seeing the extent of Daniel's powers (and anger) during Life is Strange 2.
9) Triggering the airport's signature power play in Split/Second.
10) The "Rough Landing" level (and its soundtrack) from Medal of Honor: Frontline.
They're in no particular order, and I've probably got a dozen more. For my own sanity (because now I wanna replay all of the above), I'll leave it there!

@Thrillho I’d kill for just a straight remaster of RDR. It’s a good game but the blurriness on a newer TV actually gets in the way of the game at times. It’s like looking through some sort of miasma!
@Arugula DDLC is Doki Doki Literature Club, an absolutely nuts free VN on Steam that plays with perceptions and hits you like a truck. It’s really quite good.
@Arugula oh yeah that ladder was awesome, I fluffed it up the second time I played snake eater and paused it or something and it stopped the music playing so I just climbed a long ladder in complete silence
Turning Lara into gold by standing on the hand of Midus was pretty great. And running into a T-Rex, of course. Dogs through the windows and a Jill sandwich on Resi 1 are classics. Meryl getting gunned down by Wolf was a laugh.
The three major gaming moments that managed to emotionally break me are probably:
Naked Snake reluctantly ending the Boss' life in Snake Eater
Celeste. Just the entire game
and Celes' attempting to commit suicide after Kefka destroys the world in Final Fantasy VI
I rarely ever tear up even in real life. I just can't really find it in me to get super emotional about anything unless I'm just super down in the dumps, but these particular scenes in gaming came at pretty crucial times in my life where I just personally lost it watching them for the first time, especially Celes' jump
I love that, in Anniversary, not only can you do the same thing, you can also wear Golden Lara as an unlockable outfit. Every footstep makes a loud, dull clanging sound.
@TheFrenchiestFry The ending of Snake Eater is agonising. I refused to pull the trigger for the longest time, before I realised that there was no other way to complete the game. Right when player choice was starting to become a fashionable thing, giving you none was harsh.
