Saddest Gaming Moment

[icame]

I cried at a scene in Valkyria chronicles. It was the first time I had cried in over 4 years (pain or otherwise.) but that one scene got me bad. If you have played it you know. The end of MGS4 was also a massive downer too. I was depressed for the next few days after that...

Let's see

Spoiler: StarCraft: Brood War

Alexei Stukov's death, along with Admiral DuGalle's suicide

Spoiler: Fable II

When your dog, the dog that waited for you for 30 or so years to make it out of that prison, jumps in front of the bullet for you. I screamed at the game and scared my roommates half to death

Spoiler: StarCraft

When Fenix dies, both times

 

[Savber]

'Close your eyes honey'
'I love you dad'
'Don't look'

What game is this from? It sounds so familiar and I cannot for the life of me remember just what moment this is...

The ending of Half Life 2: Episode 2

 

[emeraldrafael]

The bad ending, persona 4.

Atlus, that was just cruel.


... And the ending of the Journey in Persona 3 fes, though I liked how the answer rectified it.

 

[AyreonMaiden]

Metal Gear Solid 4

Microwaves

That's all. I can't think about it without my throat seizing up and my eyes welling. My girlfriend's gonna watch me cry like a baby when we get to that part.

 

[Hellishkratos]

A lot of the Thousand Years of Dreams stories in Lost Odyssey where pretty sad, same with the ending of the first disc, and the end of the game. Man that game made me cry a lot.

I know this is going to make me sound like an awful person, but i HATED that horse in shadow of the collosus. It would never follow your directions until you told it to do something like three or four times. SORRY posted under the wrong guy edit.

I know how you feel. The control of Agro was absolutely terrible, and at times I wanted to ship him to the glue factory, but the fact that that horse ADORES you was enough to make me forgive him. I remember fighting the giant flying snake creature (the one where you have to shoot the sacs and jump on the wing), and the fact that my horse trusted me enough to ride right up next to that giant thing, and also, if I ever missed, and got lost in the dust storm underneath, Agro was always there waiting for me. That's love

(Also, it sucked having to be in the exact right spot before pressing the button to get on the horse, no leeway like nowadays in games).

 

[drifter94]

Shadow of the Colossus. That ending choked me up a bit.

 

[superdelux]

For me, there are two. In Saints Row 2 when oyu put Carlos out of his misery. After that, I went on a killing spree of all those brotherhood jerks. The second was the ending of Link's Awakening for the gameboy. Everyone I knew, all my friends, vanished in a dreams end *sniff*.

Yeah Saints Row 2 had some oddly sad cut scenes like the one you mentioned and Aisha's death and funeral.

 

[TheFinalFantasyWolf]

Pretty much anytime Raiden was in MGS4. EG : Like when he nearly died to save Snake, and the end when he see's lil John ect.... I've been waiting to hear what happened to him since MGS2, and all that SOB do was make me cry....I have never cried more during a game in my life.

FFVII, the end and Aeris's death (overdone, In know, but what can I say, it still gets me)
Also pretty much all FF endings

Silent Hill 2 : The end with Mary's letter.

Kingdom hearts 2 ending : they were happy tears

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

The ending of Half Life 2: Episode 2

Right, that's it. Thank you.

OT: The saddest moment I can remember in a game of my choice would have to be the ending to Halo 3. I know it seems like a really lame a cliche choice, but I was generally disheartened to see the story of Master Chief come to an end like...that.

[small]Yes, I am excited for Halo 4.[/small]

I can kind of get what your saying, but the horse apparently had a terribly messed up sense of vertigo.

It is cool that he was tough enough to survive a thousands of feet drop and SOMEHOW still survive. I guess that makes up for it.

 

[silverleaf81]

At the end of every good classic, like zelda. I was so sad when the moon disappeared in Majora's Mask. I miss that freaky b*stard.

That's true. Sometimes he would jump across intimidating gaps, and other times, he wouldn't even hop down a tiny ledge. Like you said though, him saving you AND surviving the drop with nothing more than an injured leg is commendable.

 

[LevROLL]

"If you ever see me again, shoot first."
...The events leading up to the end of the Evil Karmic route of inFamous 2.

 

[Spartan448]

1st place: The (supposed) Death of Sgt. Avery J. Johnson, Halo 3.

2nd place: FFXIII: Sazh's kid turns into a crystal, and later makes it look like he killed himself.

3rd place: Ending of Halo 3, Cheif and Cortana essentially wait to die, but then discover that they're lost in space, floating... drifting.... waiting.

last place: "Mama Mia!"

He can be a pretty sweet horse, but at times, the daredevil in him gets the better of him as he decides to unexpectedly leap off the side of a canyon or something.

'Close your eyes honey'
'I love you dad'
'Don't look'

The first time I saw that scene, something died inside me.

The second time I saw that scene I started chuckling because of this.


Oh, kinda violent content everyone.

 

[SimpleJack]

Well...I kinda play games where <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.135672-Neutral-Drow-reviews-A-Drug-That-Makes-You-Dream>sadness <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.163769-Neutral-Drow-reviews-Kanon>is a <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.206764-Neutral-Drow-reviews-Kana-Little-Sister>major goal, and one they succeed at <url=http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/1760/kana34.jpg>very, <url=http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9381/kana35.jpg>very <url=http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/3777/kana36.jpg>well. Setting aside those types of games, though...

Probably Final Fantasy VI, immediately after the fight against the Ghost Train. You know what I'm talking about.

Spoiler

Watching Cyan's dead wife and son board the train, hearing their last words to him, knowing there's nothing you can do to save them...

I'm serious. I described that scene to someone who hadn't played the game, and I very nearly couldn't finish, because my throat started to seize up.


FF VI was the best one in my opinion. There was just so much character in those little guys, much more than in the shit they make now... -_-

Chaos Rings Omega (iPod Touch/iPad Game, prequel to Chaos Rings) Has a VERY deep story for a prequel and is great overall. But I recommend playing the original first.
