Most depressing game storyline(s) this gen

Having just finished the Walking Dead, I was inspired to make this thread. Which games' plot this gen made it feel like your heart was being shoved through a meat grinder the most?

Nier

Actually...none, i haven't played a depressing game...maybe Lone Survivor, but nothing that made feel sad or anything like that.

Uncharted 1 and 2...

Dark Souls.

Pokemon explorers of time/darkness.

Also, Spec Ops: The Line.

Because that game hates you.

The Walking Dead and Mass Effect 3 for me, Shepard and Lee are easily my two fav characters this gen.....sigh...was so mad

No spoilers please. But Heavy Rain has a pretty F'd up ending if you get the bad one. So depressing, never played a game that did that before.

Too the moon.

Bioshock 2 ending was kinda sad :c

Oh, for the love of...

To the Moon is not a depressing game. I say this as someone who is a massive fan of it. It isn't depressing. It has a lot of sad moments, but it's hardly depressing.

Heavy Rain

It also had a very depressing soundtack to go along with the tone of the game.

The Darkness and Spec ops the line are the only answers here.

Those games are not happy, at all.

It's sad, but it's a happy sad. It's not depressing where you think "I wanna kill myself after playing that". In the end you're happy for the old man and it ties everything up in a nice little bow.

[QUOTE="Blabadon"][QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]999 isn't exactly depressing, but it's such a well-written thriller that whenever something sad happens, you feel it. the more you play, the more you feel your heart weighting at everything that is going on. i don't think i have ever underestimated a game so much in my life, and i'd say that it's on par with my favorite books.BrunoBRS

Sounds like you guys are diving into spoiler territory here
