saddest moments in games

allibastor

For me some games have had sad bits, but gears three where Dom drives the truck is the worst. Was playing Co op with a friend and we were both musty eyed.

GTA 4 the aftermath of the mission where you choose between roman or malorie to die! As much as roman was annoying it was sad.

Batman and the Joker at the end of Arkham City.

When the main character (can't remember his name) was killed in Red Dead Redemption.

Myrddin

Moved from Xbox

F1ngers

From Playstation.

Penn

The end of The Walking Dead for sure. Only other thing that has come close for me was the ending of MGS3.

allibastor

If anyone has played the legacy of kain Games, where raziel finds out his fate.

Akrasia

When you get to the end of level 1-4 in Super Mario Brothers to hoping to rescue the princess and it turns out she's actually in another castle.


Oh, and Aerith's death in FFVII

john marston i think it was

had me in tears

krudler

Wasn't so much sad as bittersweet but in The Last Of Us;

the giraffe..

tok9

It's probably best people say the game title and then spoiler the rest as right now I'm glad I'm half way through ME3.. Anyway I'll mention whatever hasn't been.

The Last of Us -

Sam becomes infected, Henry kills him and kills himself

Journey -

Slowly making your way up the snowy mountain with your companion

Brothers: A tale of two Sons -

Burying your brother

MGS -

Sniper Wolf and Otacon

Shadow of the Colossus -

Argo's fall and in general just a lot of that game

That's all I can think of now.

krudler

+1 for the Shadow of the Colossus one, right in the feels.

Mr.Saturn

The first and last hour of Mother 3 is one of a handful o'times where a game's gone for my ticker and not made my eyes roll.

It's odd in how quickly Hinawa's buried, but it's messed around with a bit with the zombies popping up in random battles; likely you're nonchalantly decking the revived corpse of your dead aul'wan.

There's also

Ninten and Ana's dance in the original Mother, where you get a couple of crude, pixel-y outlines hitting notes generally reserved for Pixar's offerings.

lala88

At least 1/2 things in every MGS game

gimli2112

The Last of Us :

When they're trapped on the bridge and Ellie throws herself in the water rather than let Joel sacrafice himself...... gulp!

Aeris

Mickeroo

To the Moon, the reveals regarding the

dead brother and how he met the girl when they were kids, made the deal regarding the moon and what he origami rabbits meant but she couldn't just come out and say it because of the aspergers.

Yeah basically al of it.

Shiminay

For me it was in Mass Effect 3 when I had to

decide the fate of the Geth and Quarians.

I had to stop playing for 20 minutes and all I could do was stare at the screen and try to figure out how I felt about the whole thing. It was a really difficult decision to make as I felt invested in both sides of it. The fate of

Mordin

was also quite a blow, he'd probably been my favourite character.

Someone mentioned

the death of John Marston in Red Dead Redemption

which was definitely sad, but I sort of expected it and it definitely felt like the right way to play that story out.

krudler

In The Walking Dead (season 1 spoiler) when

you have to decide to be blunt with Clementine about her parents not being in Savannah and just just lies down crying

I hated lying to her but I hated being honest with her too.

J. Marston

“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.”

Red Dead Redemption

Marston's death. It was such a vicious death too.

TLOU

Sarah's death at the start was horrible. Joel hugging Ellie after she killed David. The ending. That game is full of feels.

The Walking Dead ending.

MGS4: "This is good, isn't it?"

Bioshock Infinite's ending.

astonaidan

Clearly ye guys havent played Brothers

Grimebox

Near start of Homeworld, you come back from your maiden hyperdrive voyage to find your entire civilisation has been destroyed. You find out at the start of the next mission that the assault took place for developing hyperdrive technologies. It mentions calmly at the start of the next mission that the enemy who was interrogated for that information does not survive the interrogation.

I found that calm voice saying how they essentially murdered a prisoner in retaliation genocide to be quite moving

Blazer

Mordin in ME3 without a doubt...he and Garrat were my favourite characters..the rest I didn't give a rat's ass about.

Temptamperu

Mass Effect 3 :

Mordin

The walking Dead - the ending

People say Final Fantasy 7 and Aeris, and maybe it was at the time, I don't know anymore as it was 17 years ago, I was 12 or 13, played it once since and it didn't have the same impact....probably because I knew it was coming.
Also maybe it's due to constantly seeing it replayed over and over in Top 10's and Top 100's for shocking, sad , gaming moments etc. I don't know how I feel about it anymore

XCOM : Enemy Unknown - The part where a soldier you named at the very beginning, kitted him out, brought him with you on all your missions, was the backbone of your squad........gets cheaply one/two shotted at the start of a level and is gone forever.

Maybe I'm a heartless monster, but no game has ever made me sad. In fact I dont think any has ever connected with me on any meaningful emotional level

Did you play the Walking Dead ?

I just want to check you did before I confirm that you have no soul or emotions and are basically a robot of some sort.

I have played good parts of twd although not in sequence necessarily, or even in a reasonable time frame. I really should

What about Journey?

That completely negates the point of it, it's like watching a movie out of sequence.

You do realize you can save them both?

for me, it's ME3 with

Mordin and Thane

.

Played and enjoyed very much. No emotional resonance there though, just a wonderfully realized game

Absolutely! Won't find any agreements l arguments here

Wow.. I'm surprised at that.

For me it was the emotional connection with Journey that made it so special. Just an absolutely amazing experience.

Your a video game psychopath!! thats pretty awesome.





you eh... you don't hurt small animals do you? :P

COYVB

hahaha no I don't

Never really made any kind of emotional connection with a game actually now that I think of it, at least beyond the usual self-centred ones like pride, accomplishment, frustration, happiness and anger. I wonder why. Possibly I'm overexposed to them and view them as work

Not sure if sarcasm but I actually genuinely did feel a bit sad there. I'd played through Borderlands with Mordecai as my main. That bloody bird saved me quite a few times.

Potential-Monke

I'm slightly different to most in that i found

Legions

death in ME3 to be more emotional. It was the hardest decision i had to make in that game. Like another, had to take a wee break to take it all in!

The Walking Dead - the ending.

Does this unit have a soul?

If you happen to win Bioware-Storytelling-Russian-Roulette you can. I found myself locked out of all sorts of options because of perfectly reasonable things I had done earlier or in previous games. Sometimes I chose Renegade options and sometimes I chose Paragon because I am a real human being and react to different situations differently, which is apparently wrong. I was supposed to pick one or the other and commit to it or I am weak and don't get fun conversation options later. That was dumb.

The day I paid money for Rise of the Robots was pretty saddening, as it turned out.
Next saddest gaming moment was turning it on.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

when

morrigan left

in dragon age origins

it was like i'd had claudia black sarcastically insulting me for 40 hours and then she just left, heartbroken

Uncharted 3:

I know it turned out that he was actually fine, but in Uncharted 3 when Sully is "shot" originally. Broke my heart at the time.

It's a pity they didn't follow it through

Holy Hand Grenade

There are a lot of moments I can't recall, but the ones I can are:

Mordin and Legion (especially if you have to stop him) in ME (I know there are tons of sad moments in ME, but those were the saddest for me)
Ending of The Walking Dead
Dom in GoW3
Ending of Halo 4
Ending of RDR
Ending of Chrono Cross (and Harle's departure)

I can't really choose between these.

"The Walking Dead" as listed by many others.

"Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons" - Finished it recently and

was floored when Big Brother died. For a while I kept jiggling the left stick as if I could wake him up but then realised it wasn't going to happen as the game, very cruelly, made me bury him.
