I'm not a heartless asshole but is it really that sad to see a videogame character die? I guess I just have no emotions in games, Dead Space and Doom 3 didn't scare me at all, I laugh whenever someone dies and I just don't care about the characters in games. I was disappointed when Sniper Wolf and Psycho Mantis died in Metal Gear Solid, but I didn't come close to crying and I forgot about both of them 5 minutes later.
Then you are an internet tuff guy or a sociopath. Pick your poison.

This, or when Shu sends Kiba off to die in a diversion in Suikoden 2. Manly tears. MGS4 would of reigned if Snake had ate his gun.

well my major ones are (in no particular order):

Ending of MGS4 as has been aforementioned with snake in the corridor (and most of the scenes after that)

Aries' death in FF7 (okay say what you will, i was in tears!)

When Dom finds his wife in GoW2

The ending of MGS4 and MGS3 were both awesome, two great and brillantly written characters resiging themselves to death.

FF7 goes without saying.

Suprising, Lady's reaction to Arkham's death in DMC3 definetely effected me, to see some (what passes for me as) real, human feelings in such as violent game. But then, the bad ending in Abe's Odyssey was sad, to see that much hard work, literally, go down the drain.

lol the abes odyssey ending is quite true, and thinking back, about the DMC3 reference it is indeed sad, on another DMC note, in DMC4 when 'his holiness' is carying Kyrie away and Nero has to fight his way towards her, then jumps, only to fall down screaming her name with her necklace in his hands, really jerked me, especially coupled with the music on the beggining video (Jason "shyboy" Arnold - never surrender for those who want to know)

That's not sad it's just kinda... I don't really know. Epic, but in the silent kind of way. It's sad to know Cortana's going to be all alone for several years
Thats the sad part. She won't ever wake him. She's going to die soon. Her matrices only allow her a 7 year life span, before she literally thinks herself to death. By the time he wakes, she won't be there.
I always assumed the Cortana was some sort of exception for whatever reason. Plus I think if the creators were going for that, they'd have brought it up somehow in the dialogue.

Still very, very sad.
I suppose it's more of an afterthought to most people, but when you sit down and think about it. You realise just how sad it is. That's why after he says that line, she reaches out to him, then she holds back. Not wanting to tell him that she'll be dead soon.

It's known she was in operation before 2550, 3 years before Reach, and 4 years before Halo 3. Who knows how long she's been in operation. She could have been in operation since 2547. Meaning she could die at any moment.
sorry i forgot to quote. im a newbie but i think she will obtain a true being and that will happen after she hits rampancy. look it up i think its stage 4 or 5 in AI aging. but the last stage has never been hit before.

*Half-life 2 Episode 2 Spoiler*

When Alyx got stabbed by a hunter. I was surprised at how upset I was.
Yeah, me too.

I think for me, it's Metal Gear Solid (Old school, huh?) where Sniper Wolf dies at Otocan's feet.

Then again, I've got this wolf obsession so...

Will people please start using
spoiler boxes
Many games have been ruined for me in the last few moments.
Mine would have to be
MGS4 when
Snake dies.
i pretty sure not many people know how to use them considering there is no tutorial so its quite ignorant of you to expect that everyone should use them
