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

What about Journey?

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

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.

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

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

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

Garrus?

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.

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.

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.

As has been said endings of the Walking Dead, Brothers and To The Moon are quite sad.

In ME3

Mordins death is sad but i had Tali die and thought that was quite sad as well. She witnesses her people being destroyed and then removes her mask and jumps from a cliff,dying on the homeworld her people had desired to return to for so long. Don't get me wrong i did sympathize with the Geth but i think both them and the Quarians were victims in that conflict.

Heavy Rain had some seriously sad moments in it. Kinda surprised I hadn't seen it mentioned by now... I think...

I couldn't save both because of my ME2 playthrough.. I stuck with Tali only because she was my LI and Legion would die anyway, but damn.. those Quarians really deserved to have their asses kicked.

the ending of ME3 really messed with my head, i'd still like to understand what actually happened

Sudden Valley

+1 for the ending of The walking dead and Brothers. I'm just not emotionally attached to the characters/plots of the majority of games i play.

LOL, you got a point.. I had completely forgotten the ending is just you picking some colour to destroy your entire game experience

At the end of Fable 2:

Save the world or save the dog? You better believe I saved the dog!
