inFAMOUS 2. Both the good and bad endings were pretty sad. And the ending credits song didn't exactly cheer me up.

I know both of these have already been mentioned, but the bad karma ending of Fallout 3, when Ron Perlman narrated all the horrible things i'd done to people amid the wasteland.

and the inevitable Silent Hill 2s various endings, especially 'In Water' and the resurrection one (whatever than was called)

Portal 2 as well, but that's mainly because i blitzed it in about two sittings, had the huge crescendo of an ending, groovy songs then got dumped back at the main menu with a feeling of 'oh, it's over, i wanted more'

The endings of Silent Hill 2. just the voice over when you see the full letter she wrote makes me cry.
Words out of my mouth. And to top it off, I got the suicide ending on my first playthrough.
God I can't wait to play that game again.

Red Dead Redemption, the clear choice as always. The ending of LA Noire was a bit of a tearjerker as well, even if it was a little jarring.

Fallout 3 vanilla, since it was so unexpected and kind of touching.

Screw you guys, I thought vanilla Fallout 3's ending was better.
I would have loved the ending for Fo3 if they'd have scripted it so there was something put in place to make it so that your followers couldn't come with you on the final mission. Would have made it a hell of a lot more logical.

Do you think people do spoiler tags when talking about Star Wars V in case people don't know Darth is Luke's father?
That's entirely different. Trivia like that is known by everyone, along with stuff like Rosebud is a sled in Citizen Kane and Bruce Willis is actually dead in The Sixth Sense.

I want the fuck out of this hellhole. If mods won't fucking delete my fucking cunted account, then maybe gunning for a ban by acting like a complete **** for days and weeks and making this site even less enjoyable than it already is MIGHT JUST CLUE THEM IN TO WHY MY REQUEST IS FUCKING REASONABLE. I HAVE A SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS THAT DOES NOT COPE WELL WITH FUCKHEADED MODS, AND THIS PLACE HAS FUCKHEADS FOR MODS. SO FUCKING DELETE MY ACCOUNT ALREADY YOU STUPID CUNTS!!!
Step away from any sharp objects immediately. Try PMing a mod instead of freaking out in someone's thread.

I have to say, Final Fantasy 10's ending was a real tear-jerker.

Though about true sadness, I was sad when Portal ended, as it ment I had finished it, so i was sad :'(

Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption; I wasn't exactly the most humane of vamps. Finished the final battle under New York against Vukodlak, closing off 700 years of rivalry.

Christof diablerised Vukodlak (take that you Tzimisce git!) ... and then drained Anezka.

Damnit, Christof! You have been trying to find Anezka for 700 years, and for those 700 years Anezka has been the lackey of a Tzimisce Methuselah ... and you rip her throat out!!? You utter arse!!

Played it again to get the high humanity ending.

Um... spoilers? ¬.¬
I suppose so... though what I mainly talked about was my characters choice, therefore it won't happen for everyone. Besides which, this is a thread about "Game endings" so anyone surprised by the presence of spoilers must be brain-dead, and therefore are unlikely to be bothered.
I get what you mean about your character's choice, and apologise - I didn't actually read your post all the way through on account of it being a potential spoiler. But your second point is so devoid of logic I'm not going to bother arguing with it.
My second point is "so devoid of logic" you're not going to bother arguing with it? So basically, I'm wrong and you're right just because? And my point is devoid of logic?

If you have a point to make or if you disagree with something I say you're free to point it out. It's not going to hurt my feelings, honest. Saying you're "not going to bother arguing with it" just makes it seem like you have no point at all, whether that's true or not.

OT: Another game I've remembered (and hasn't been mentioned yet I think) is Crackdown.

It was kind of a downer when it turned out that all your work defeating all the gangs and "freeing" the city was just putting another (and possibly worse) dictator into power. To be honest though, the real disappointment was that it didn't even bother using my character in the final cutscene.

Nier had a sad ending, the C ending I mean, where Kaine dies. I liked her, she was one of the decent characters. Yonah and the Nier sucked... "Yonahh!!!!!"

Final Fantasy X was pretty sad too. Although I found it funny that Tidus doesn't say that he loves her and instead jumps off the ship. Hilarious, but the ending overall was pretty sad.

Final Fantasy XIII had a sorta sad ending as well.

HL2 Episode 2 (obviously), Portal 2 (in a bittersweet kind of way),
Both of these, Mafia's and Sands of Time's.

Portal 2's was weird.

The overwhelming joy of being free, the sheer relief you experience, really hit home. Definitely bittersweet.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. Such a depressing ending. Also Fallout 3's original, though yes making it so no one will go into the room is stupid, I do feel that you being the one to stop the purifier is better than say Fawkes.

Red Dead Redemption....
It's very rare for the games that i play to end in a way like Red Dead and i found it to be unique and very well made. I remember the ending more clearly than any other game in my library.

John Marston was being set up to be quite a badass throughout the game and i felt like Rockstar really established the way he felt for his family. Now in what i guess is called the third act of the game when all that happens in the game gets much closer to his family like jack and abigail then i felt like it really helped understand how much he cared for them. However, then everything took a turn for the worse and he got backstabbed basicly. him being faced with this he still tried to protect his family over all else.
The last scene in particular i felt was wellmade. you were forced into the barn and well knowing that the marshals were just outside he had to sacrifice himself. the way he pushed open the door to be greeted by the loaded guns. here is where the gameplaywise part that i liked stepped in. You are thrown into Dead Eye mode. You will put up a fight! This is NOT the game going to a cutscene where all this takes place. YOU are doing his last standoff against unfair numbers. This doesn't matter because it is impossible to win that fight but still. Giveing the player that sense of 'there is nothing John could do but save his family' which he did...

That was a rather long explanation of why i thought so. It might sound like rubbish but that's how i see it :)

Terranigma left me in a depressive state for about 2 days.

Everybody who has even the slightest interest in RPG's needs to play that game.
