Saddest Moments in a Video Game

[strykr]

The conclusion to Red Dead Redemption. I was not actually prepared for that. Keeping the Rockstar theme I was not prepared for the potential fate of Roman in GTA either.

Oh you mean when John Marston dies? what a **** lol

Aerith's death in Final Fantasy VII.

/thread

Aww, wha? Thanks for spoiling that >=/
*SNIP*

Oh, you must be the 0.01% of the population that doesn't know that Aerith Dies

I didn't, and since I started playing FF7 not too long ago, learning it on a forum wasn't exactly the way I wanted to figure it out... Not everyone follows the same game-series y'know =/

I'm pretty sure spoiling that is akin to spoiling that Snape kills Dumbledore and Rosebud was the sled.

It's somewhere in between those two, yeah. Citizen Kane is WAY older than FF7, but Snape kills Dumbledore is much younger than it. In fact, HP6 is young enough that I believe the only reason it's acceptable to spoil that is because EVREYONE on the internet's been saying it basically since the book came out, so even people that haven't read the book or seen the movie know it happens.

eeyup.

I'm sorry man. I didn't even think about spoilers when I posted this topic. I'll be sure to keep that in mind in my future threads.

 

[Quantum Star]

When Mike died in RE4.

The chopper pilot who turned up nearly out of nowhere, made cliche idle chitchat, then died the usual helicopter pilots death?

Sorry, but for me watching Luis die was sadder.

I believe that was sarcasm my good chap. Sarcasm doesn't translate well to the internet you see.

Here's one that really resonated with me:

Spoiler: Limbo

Near the beginning of the game, I'm just starting to see the first signs of civilization. I'm seeing structures, traps, some other people, but then I come to a moat that would be impossible for me to jump over, and walking into would cause instant death. On the other side is another person. He looks at me, runs forward, and jumps into the water. He killed himself so that his body could act as a platform that would allow me to continue. I didn't know him and he didn't know me, but for some reason he found it necessary for him to die just so that I would have a chance of reaching safety. He wasn't being hurried, yet he didn't hesitate. I don't know if just wanted release from the hell in which everyone was living, but I will never forget him.

Whoa... I really need to get that game. The demo was so much fun and freaky as hell, too.

Spoiler

When Isara died in Valkyria Chronicles

Yeah that part was just horrible, well pretty much most parts of Valkyria were extremely sad.

I agree with this, I wasn't expecting it at all.

 

[Frostbyte]

I'm surprised that no-one mentioned Portal 2. When I found the radio playing Exile Vilify, it really choked me up.

 

[Chester Rabbit]

gonna try and keep this spoiler clean.

The conclusion of Mass Effect 2's opening.

Lisa's realisation that she was...already part of "the club" in Silent Hill.

The Darkness....Hell that entire game is The Never Ending Story of video games. Every moment gets progressively more depressing.

Bio Shock 2's good ending. It's sad but in a good way.

 

[Archangel768]

Shadow Hearts 1&2. Anyone that has played that probably knows who I'm talking about.

Final Fantasy VIII - When Rinoa and Squall are in the Ragnarok and Rinoa says she's scared and Squall holds her comfortingly. The timing of the music was great.

Final Fantasy X - The end. You know what I mean.

 

[Syzygy23]

The saddest moment in a game... The only game to EVER make me tear up a bit was in XCOM when Jurgen Berger, my highest ranked soldier and sole survivor of the original team, was mind controlled and forced to kill half his team before the rookie put him down.

 

[Catie Caraco]

Wait. Letting them die was the PARAGON option? Good thing I'm going renegade this playthrough then.

Aslo, Captcha was Council Escitat. Odd, considering we are talking about the council...

Ops, I apologize. It was the Renegade obviously. Edited post for correction.

I did a playthrough where I saved them, then uploaded it into ME2.. and they STILL treat me like dicks. Never.Ever.Again.

Also.. you saved Kaiden over Ashley? Really? I can't take Kaiden seriously with that douchey-hair and the fact that his V.A. played a really pathetic pedophile on Law and Order SVU and now plays Jimminey-frigging-Cricket on Once Upon a Time. I romanced him in a play through JUST so I could cheat on him with Garrus.

In ME2, regardless of who you save in ME1, you will be treated like a dick. So much for being a saviour.

Video is not mine. It's one I found on Youtube. I saved Ashley myself, for no good, as it turns out she loathed me like the plague.

Ahh, apologies then. Well, since she's coming back in ME3 maybe she'll forgive you. I know Kaiden sent me some email apologizing for how he treated me on the colony, but I was like "screw you, I've got me some Garrus."

And I know no matter what choice you make, people *****. But the "ahh yes, Reapers..." comment from the Turian council member pissed me teh hell off.

 

[Sarge034]

The beginning of ME2. I had no words to describe my feelings, then I got mad, and then I was happy again when I came one step closer to becoming Cyborg-Pirate-Ninja-Raptor-Jesus.

Spoiler: ME2 beginning *spoilers*

 

[XtreemIce]

For me the ONLY game to evoke actual emotion was the ending to final fantasy 9

After my first playthrough it left such a bitter-sweet sadness that I had to reload an old save and just walk around Lindblum 'til the weeping stopped.

 

[Legomaniac91_v1legacy]

When Team Ninja ruined Samus, one of my favorite video game characters. Seriously though, the ending to Mother 3 is probably one of the saddest video game moments in my opinion.

 

[Cpu46]

Lost Odyssey

just thinking of it makes me sad.

*snif*

Spoiler

when Kaim's mother dies

Spoiler: Wait

I only got halfway through the game but do you mean Lirum? Cause she was Cooke and Mack's mother, she was Kaim's daughter which made it all the more sad.

Been a while since I played it but FFVI had its moments.

 

[I Hate Consoles and Mondays]

I cried at the end of Penumbra: Overture when

Spoiler

You are forced to incinerate Red

Actually, just watched that movie Monday, did not expect it to be the sled
