Game endings that made you sad

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?SirBryghtside said:
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.

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

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...

Fallout New Vegas....That was it ?
On a more serious note Fable II's ending was quite sad I think.

Sora goes to Kiari.
Their platforms drift apart.
My response: Head in a pillow sobbing away.
Jesus Fucking Christ RDR.
Also, FFX (bearing in mind I was like 12 when I first played it) - unique in that it wasn't really sad in the conventional sense so much as it was an early instance of existential dread. I'm always reminded of it when I reread the Sandman and the little girl is so terrified of Alice in Wonderland and the idea that they're all just part of someone else's dream.

Thats because you walked in to the room. If you wait too long the purifier explodes.MysticToast said:
Equally you can ask Fawkes to walk into the chamber... if... stuff... happens... stuff... I forget stuff...

For me Fallout 3's ending was sad but Mafia 2's ending was just D;
You bastards...
You kill off a whole fucking Mafia family... and then your "friends" take Joe away in a separate car... most likely to be killed.
Heavy Rain, being reunited with Jason.
Edit: God dammit, I meant Shaun. Jason's name was just engrained from the mall scene.

In the pre-Broken Steel version of Fallout 3, you are given the choice to go into the radiation filled water purifier to activate it (presumably dying from the radation in a glorious sacrifice), or send Sarah Lyons in to do it (she would die too).MysticToast said:
However, of all the companions you can have, it's possible you have a super mutant, a ghoul, or a robot. Any of which could easily push the buttons for you, with no harm done to them.
Bringing this up to your radiation immune companion, though, will tend to get a "No, it's your destiny", "It's not my job" response. Forcing you to die, sacrifice Sarah, or just let the purifier explode and die.
After Broken Steel, the radiation immune companions will agree to activate the purifier. However, the ending credits still have the balls to call said companion "the true hero of the wastes" instead of you, simply because you weren't "heroicly suicidal".
It's all very frustrating.
First of all, it came out 7 years ago. Second of all, once you saw the words "Metal Gear Solid 3's ending..." you could've stopped reading. Or is that beyond you?hazabaza1 said:
Red Dead: Redemption... nuff said
Persona 4, just the fact that the time me and the protagonist spent with his friends was ending
Mass Effect 2, everybody dies and it sucks
The Darkness, the whole damn game is just depressing as hell
Dragon Age 2 gets pretty sad in the end, despite every other part of the game being so shit compared to other Bioware games
