Final Fantasy X, when you finally reach Zanarkand & that amazingly sad music starts up & Tidus realises what's going to happen. It slays me.
Single most depressing moment in a game

The end of Call of Duty 4 because Gaz died and he was the coolest guy in that game, also the nuke scene.
The end of Modern Warfare 2 was also depressing upon realizing I just wasted 6-8 hours playing a horrible game. Multiplayer isn't too bad though.

Made even worse by the books. I've been reading them to keep my fix of the series, but the last couple were utter shit. They finally caught up to the end of the game, but are now hardly mentioned in it. If the next book in the series doesn't redeem it by making Delta squad play a heavy role and by actually giving some closure and moving past a few plot points, I am giving up on the series.nick n stuff said:
Now, on topic. While there was Republic Commando, I have to say a lot of moments from FFX and Kingdom Hearts. Both had quite a few moments that tugged me and made me go 'Damn'.
Also, the middle and end of Far Cry 2. That game's ending made me literally feel like I was the world's biggest asshole, and made me feel horrible for it.
The end of Portal. Not the ending itself mind you, but the fact that it ended. I need more Dammit!
Mine is not in game but it is game related. I was heartbroken the day I found out Tony Jay died. He played the voice of the elder god in the Legacy of Kain series. One of my favorite voice actors and played a major role, they can't continue the series without him.
Why didn't you just say Heavy Rain? We would have accepted that answer. "inb4 Heavy Rain" is just a way of saying "Heavy Rain had a depressing ending" so why not just say that?Enemy Of The State said:
OP: I would have to say FFX. When I beat it, that was the closest I ever came to crying in a game.
Chrono Cross, but it was mainly the music at the time of playing this that got me.Duskwaith said:
P.S. Who is that girl in your avatar? I've seen a few avatars of her but I never caught her name.Duskwaith said:
NO!!! The ending of Fallout 1 is depressing, after pretty much saving your vault and the entire whats left of the world when you go return to the vault, well this happens. (obvious spoiler) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG_P086L5LU someone embed this for me please, I don't know how.ExiusXavarus said:
Pretty much all of the "real" endings to Silent Hill 2.
But the true winner here is the end of Shadow of the Colossus. Never has a game touched my emotions in the same way that game did.
In Silent Hill 3 when Heather sees that Harry was killed.

Majora's Mask: reuniting Kaifei with Anju.
For those that don't know, the basic story of MM is that the moon will crash into Termina in 3 days, killing everybody. You have the power to go back in time 3 days as much as you want (like Groundhog day). Now, there are a lot of sidequests, but the biggest one is to reunite Kafei with his fiancee Anju. If you do this quest (which takes all three days and requires you to be on time for everything relevant), then they get reunited just a minute before the moon comes to kill you all. After re-trying countless times, I did it and got the reward.
I then had to play the song of time and go back to the past. I still had my reward, but Kafei and Anju were apart once again. Nothing you do to help these people will ever benefit them for more than a few days, at best.
The whole game was filled with emotion; there was the postman that vowed to do his job. His job was to deliver the city's mail, and he did it. The mayor never told him to leave the city when the moon was coming down, so he stayed there, praying for a message to come allowing him to leave.
Or the deku butler that lost his son. Later, you see a gnarled old tree. Upon closer inspection, you can see that it is an old, deformed dead deku (it is rumored that the deku mask you get contains the soul of the son; the skullkid killed him to torment you). After you beat the game, you see the butler crying over the remains of his son.

Call of Duty 4
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Also the ending to Assassin's Creed II, while not an outright tear-jerker, just seemed extremely unfair after all that Ezio had gone through to get there, and that ***** couldn't even be bothered to answer a few questions for him.
When Sgt. Jackson gets nuked, and the end, where Griggs is shot while trying to pull you to safety and Gaz is executed by Zakhaev while all you can do is lie there helpless and watch.
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Eli's death, obviously, and a bit in the antlion tunnels where you come across a dead body sitting in a chair with blood on the wall behind his head and a shotgun by his hand, with the obvious implication being that he had been the sole survivor of whatever it was that had happened in the previous room.
