1986, when Transformers: The Movie was released, I was 7 years old. Watching Optimus Prime die was pretty sad. Of course now I can go back and watch that same movie, laughing when Starscream gets obliterated so I guess it all evens out in the end.
That was terrible. When that happens I just think that the universe is against himDango said:
Seriosuly, his wife dies, 5 year depression, bonds with his daughter, gets close to her...dead. Its a good thing he didnt buy a pet.
Though I never despised any of the characters, Bill was definitely my favourite - also a lucky charm for me, if I ever played any other character I would do a lot worse. So yeah when he died I was a little upset.Shihan2 said:
I know Halo is unpopular here for some reason, but damn, Sgt Johnson's death in the end of Halo 3 was quite emotional...
"Don't ever let her go..."
A lot of the deaths of major characters in that game were quite emotional. The final scene always got to me a little, even though nothing sad really happened in it.
Maria, Tai and Carmine. No epic last stand, nothing heroic, just very horrible deaths. Tai shot himself with a Gnasher Shotgun after enduring torture from the Locust, and Carmine was being eaten alive. After he was rescued, it was too late for him.
Maria was so Psychologically broken that a mercy kill from her husband was the best thing for her.

Hugh's death was a big deal in the original anime. In Brotherhood, Greed's selfless sacrifice to defeat Father at the end was quite a tear jerker.
Lelouch's death, which he orchestrated himself to secure world peace.
Will, but Kurt's death affected me more. He made a last stand against the invading Covenant. His last words to the Covenant leader was "Die? Didn't you know? Spartans Never Die."
The survivors of Halo that didn't make it to the end. The saddest one was Vice Admiral Whitcomb and Lieutenant Haverson's last stand as they lured many covenant ships to their direction so that Master Chief and his team can escape, and so that the covenant fleet can die in a nuclear fire.
The first sad one for me was Jorge's. Wasn't so much the fact that he stayed behind, but the fact that he gave you his tags, and threw you off the Covenant Corvette so that you don't begin to have second thoughts. The worst part was, his last wishes were for you to save Reach on his behalf.
The next saddest death was Kat's. As someone who's backstory involved her losing an arm for the team, she died from a shot to the head after her shields were disabled from radiation. No heroics, no last stand, just dead. The scene afterwards, in which team leader Carter was carrying her body, didn't make it any easier.
Finally it was Noble Six's death, your player character. Reach was doomed, but he wouldn't go without a fight. The level description for the epilogue made it even sadder: "Spartans never die, they are just missing in action."

I'm glad fiction is able to bring out more emotions from me than what I can express during real life events.
