I just passed this game. I think it's the last quarter of the game because you get to play as Zack and see Sephiroth as a decent if kind of cold person. Then when you realize you're going to Nibelheim and EVERYTHING goes to hell.Markgraf said:
But yes, I think watching the DMW start glitching out bit by bit just stomped on my heart. D:
I still remember this from when I was younger. I was really starting to branch out in games and I was playing Starsiege on my pc. I finally completed it on the human campaign but at the end a main character dies.
I beat the games and was depressed that he died because I somehow built a bond with the character through my own player character. Odd because their wasn't that much dialog but it still got me. I still remember that feeling haha.

Thought of another one.
In saints row 1 and 2 where Lin and Carlos respectively died. I hate it when teammates die on you mid game.
The 3 endings of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep were all pretty depressing, and even more so in the final episode.
This was the suprise of a lifetime for me, but the ending of Kingdom Hearts not only killed me when I was 12 (I didn't think it would. I felt a strong emotional connection to the characters, but I didn't think it was THAT strong), but I replayed it recently and, yep! No other ending makes me feel so alone by conencting me to my own values.
Yes, the thing that would make Sora more happy and far less lonely would be if he just gave up on his friend and lived with Kairi happily forever after, but he is forcibly torn away by the need to be a morally upright person and look for his friend, who is probably deseprately in need of him. (I would say Kingdom Hearts II reflects this.) The ending made me reflect upon the fact that, in the future, I will probably have to do things that will make me sad in order to do the things that are right. And that touch me, and hurt me, more than a little.

Alas, 'tis a prequel. See the TVTrope "Fight for the Happy Ending", which is what finally arrives at the end of Kingdom Hearts II.Fusioncode9 said:
Fallout 3. The atmosphere was very dark and depressing, though I suppose that's what they were going for.
From WoW:
Minecraft also has an element of sadness to it once you figure out that your character is essentially stuck in purgatory.
The deaths of Illidan and Arthas in The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, respectively. Both were very tragic ends to equally tragic stories. All Illidan wanted was for his people to accept him as they accepted Malfurion, and Arthas only accepted the curse as a means to save Lordaeron, only to end up being the one to destroy it. He never really acted out of his own volition, being controlled by Frostmourne and the spirit of Ner'Zhul.

When I destroyed Megaton in fallout 3. I felt sad, Then I turned heartless from there on and killed everyone. Because thats who I am. A heartless bastard >:3
Not to mention the ending of the game too...madwarper said:
When Seth sacrifices herself to "kill" Gongora
I must admit, I shed a tear in quite a few games. Yes, even the infamous death in FFVII when I first played it.
One that really got to me was:
When Sora uses the dark Keyblade on himself to unlock Kairi's heart
