Ezio/Altair's final scenes in AC: Revelations. Overall probably the poorest game of the series (although still really no worse than mediocre), but those last moments with Ezio. So sad.
If you thinks that's sad just watch Assassins Creed: Embers.
I did... and then I wept like a menstrual onion.

I don't have to think these ones for long:
Red Dead Redemption
Death of John Marston. Say what ever you want about mr. Marston but for me he is one of the best video game protagonists ever. I really felt sad after he died.

Kingdom Hearts
Sora and Kairi parting ways at the end when Simple and Clean started to play. Oh the sorrow when I realized that the great game was over...
They didn't "part ways". They were ripped apart at the last second when finally, finally they were together again. I have never cried as hard in my life as the moment Simple and Clean starts playing and their hands are pulled apart. I went on youtube a couple months ago, looking for the ending and i was all "nah, it's been, what, 8 years since I last played Kingdom Hearts? There's no way-Oh, god, the feels!!! D:".

Never in my 26 years has a work of fiction effected me like the first Kingdom Hearts did. And I've read and watched some pretty sad stuff before.
Yeah, I used a wrong term there :D I still fuck up english language like that ;D I started replaying it today. Still a damn good game. <3

Failing to protect Faridah when she gets shot down. Never even gives a hint shes about to blow the chopper-jetthing

For some reason when I was a kid a was really anal about protecting my army it gave me great micro but when a heavily armed convoy that you sent to rescue a few troopers on the other side of the map gets ambushed and destroyed it really hit me hard.
You know you can save her, right?
Yeah I didn't discover she could die until my second playthrough.

Lucy was a traitor. In "The Lost Archive" Dlc you read that she was a traitor, and she was with the templars. Also, it was Brotherhood ^^.

Metal Gear Solid 3's ending. I cried throughout the entire end sequence. I mean, seriously, they *made you press the button.* They did. And it was *so sad.* I get little shivers of despair just remembering it.

Nier's ending, holy cow. After the second-to-last boss fight, it was tears all the way through the end of the credits. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen.

Fuck yes it is! Combat was so much better in the first one than the others. Blocking, dodging, countering, all were more intuitive. The worlds were more fleshed out and weren't just boxes you fought heartless in. That was my biggest gripe with 2. You can argue that the portable games were limited by the hardware they were on, but the smaller areas in 2 had no excuse. Damnit! Now you've got me wanting to play it too! :(

Maybe I should have actually played Revelations and Brotherhood. These actually seem like semi important plot points

Can only remember one time where I've actually gotten tears in my eyes from a video game.

The last good COD game (Call of Duty: United Offensive) had a mission where you are a gunner in a bomber. I believe it was the first mission of the British/Resistance campaign.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R9JzT-66Yg

That's the one. Anyway, there's a point in there where another bomber gets shot down and you can hear the pilots scream over the radio before they explode.

I don't know why, but the first time I played that mission, that made me feel very sad.

I don't remember a sad moment off the top of my head, but I remember the moment in Saint's Row 2 when

You captured that one guy's girlfriend and put her in the trunk of a car and somehow got the car into the arena where she was crushed by her own boyfriend's monster truck. It actually made me sit back from the monitor a moment. It was pretty fucked up cause she was screaming and stuff just before she got crushed.

Benjamin Carmine's death had me all teary eyed and Noble 6's heroic death was pretty saddening but I think all of heavy rain was the saddest thing ever apart from a couple of the endings...

The main character dies of exhaustion after learning the meaning of life.

1. Nanako's death
2. The train ride back home after the real ending. Teddie's monologue was a killer, too.

John dies. Now you have to play the rest of the game as his son! Enjoy! :3

And the Portal 2 ending.
the portal 2 ending was beautiful.
translate the turret opera, from italian to english, and it reveals a whole new layer. im italian, i was translating on the spot, and a lone tear rolled down my face when i learned what it means.

When the little boy dies at the beginning of Mass Effect 3... I cried for half an hour and had to call my best friend for emotional support. I will never forget the nameless boy.
That was when I become emotionally involved in ME3. That scene made me so damn sad, and the constant flashbacks pulled me into the experience. Say what you want about the endings, but the build up was phenomenal.
the music, though, is what got me. the sound of those pianos with the sudden brass that represented the reapers shattering the peace was so phenomenally put together, it will probably be remembered as the best choreographed sad song in this gaming generation, even without vocals. what it represented spoke better than any person could.

The ending of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days puts the ending of the first game to shame.

You have to fight and kill poor Xion who's now following her original "programming" and turns to crystal and disintegrates in Roxas's arms as she tells you just how much your friendship meant to her. To twist the guilt in even further, not only does she just die, all of the memories of her die along with her, (long story) so Roxas and Axel, her only friends who swore to remember their friendship, will forget she even existed at all. She ceases to exist in the truest definition of the word and the only one who will remember her is the player.

God damn...

Which one of Nier's endings? They all tore me up inside, but Ending C when

Nier kills Kaine to free her from her possession after they both realized they loved each other. And just before Tyrann vanishes, she tells Nier that Kaine's last message was "Thank You."

was something else.

I'm going to remind you all of a Nintendo 64 classic.
Conker's Bad Fur Day. The bright, colorful environments, random misadventures, and outrageous humor leave you totally unprepared and completely vulnerable to the game's rather depressing ending. Berri, the Panther King, and the Professor are all killed (in completely unrelated ways almost at the same time) in front of Conker, before he kills the xenomorph. What makes things worse is that, when he had the chance to bring Berri back to life, he completely forgot to, while in the hype of taking down the enemy before him. He is then left in the old castle, surrounded by his new subjects... every one of which he hates.

It also gets really sad when one of your squad members dies in a Fire Emblem game... and it's pretty much your own fault, too.
