Saddest moments in Video Games

What are some of the saddest moments in video game history? Anyone know of a game that got them teary eyed?

MGS3 ending was definitely one of the game that got me teary eyed. The 1st Lufia game ending. Cyan losing his family in FF6. Price tag on MW2. A couple of others. I never burst out into tears but, I definitely remember them giving me some sniffles.

Ending of Kingdom Hearts 1/2 made me almost cry.

When you See your Daughter Die in Lost Odyessey. WOW That really messed me up. Then you have to move on with your Grand Kids in your team its really epic sad. (Even more so cause the game itself is average at best lol)

The Darkness spoiler -[spoiler] About the quarter point in the game where Jenny is killed right in front of your eyes, then the main character pursues killing himself directly after. [/spoiler] That and MGS3's ending is also a given, also many of the dream sequences in Lost Odyssey left me quite teary eye'd.

Silent Hill 2's In Water ending - Seriously, that final scene was just heartbreaking. The full reading of the letter just rubs salt in the wound.

Metal Gear Solid 3's ending.

Valkyria Chronicles - [spoiler] When Isara died. She was my favourite character too. [/spoiler]

Aerith dieing in Final Fantasy VII. It was really sad...:(

:lol:

Valkyria Chronicles - spoiler

Silent-Hal

I really tempted to look at that but, I'm only on Chapter 4 of VC

Yeah, Silent Hill 2 + In Water. A defining moment in games for me.

Shadow of the Colossus was so bittersweet and optimistically hopeless.

End of Xenosaga Episode III. Seeing half the cast devastated and killed with those amazing piano and violin pieces was rather emotional.

Aerith dieing in Final Fantasy VII. It was really sad...:(

:lol:

End of disk 1 in Lost Odyssey

The stories in Lost Odyssey

Signposts got my tears following, man I had to stop playing after reading that story in LO.

Also Don't Forget Me now, you hear? was a very good story also

Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSone

Game could have been a soap opera :lol:

MGS4 ending :(

You know what I'm talking about guys :(

Ending of Half-Life Episode 2 ^

That scene might have been sad if it hadn't been about 30 minutes too long. [spoiler] That and they brought him back and killed him off again in the exact same scene. [/spoiler]

The ending of Crisis Core and a bunch of the dream sequences in Lost Odyssey.

@ Silent Hal

It doesn't matter how long it is. This is just like the other Metal Gear games but people here fail to remember that. MGS is all about Gameplay and cutscenes(story).

My favourites this gen:

Super Mario Galaxy's Storybook Segments. Just an FYI, it has nothing to do with Mario, Peach, or Bowser, so watch it! :evil:

Half-Life 2: Episode 2's Ending. I can't say anything. It's that huge of a spoiler. :cry:

Well then its probably you lol. It scored a 10/10 because it was epic from beginning all the way to the end. Besides this was the last chapter of Solid Snake.

You know what I'm talking about guys ^ :(

Ending of Half-Life Episode 2 ^

on topic: the ending of FFX, and MGS series.

How though? You know what happens in the MGS4 ending? Or Half-Life eps 2 ending? These pictures arent showing anything.

It was and while reading it, I didn't expect it to be that sad. :(

And a little off-topic, Yuki and Momohime? You're too much. :P

Ending of Kingdom Hearts 1/2 made me almost cry.

Yandere

That, and SotC.

The part where you're THIS close to killing a boss, then he does some powerful attack and you die.

When Dom found his wife in Gears 2 was sad.

I feel sad after I beat a Zelda game because I just want more. :cry:

Agreed, im actually dissapointed that Miyamoto said there will be absoloutely not story in SMG2. He was very adament about it too.

As for the topic moments in FFX, FFVII, FFVIII, Persona 3.

Waiting Eight Years for a Sequel to Banjo-Tooie, only to get some Vehicle Game with Banjo-Kazooie Franchise Characters Shoe-Horned-In.

The ending of Episode 2 for sure. And the endings of MGS3 and MGS4 plus some other moments in those games.

I've cried tears of humiliation in those moments rather than sadness. >.> Brawl and Melee come to mind immediately with my countless defeats at the last man in a 100-man brawl. Said moments quickly follow up with rage and avoiding the game for weeks, even months.

Yuki, Momohime, Stirling Inferno as my Steam name, and my post styIe are not too much! :evil:...:P

Nintendogs. They structured the game so the dogs got hungry and dirty when the game was off. I got so sick of it I cried.OreoMilkshake

"I'd like to go with as little story as possible," he said. "I've always felt that the Mario games themselves aren't particularly suited to having a very heavy story."

"Mr. Koizumi is the type of person who, whenever we're working on a new Mario game, he always wants to bring more story elements into it, as he did with Super Mario Galaxy. But in talking with him this time, he agrees and feels that with Galaxy 2, there won't be a need for as deep of a story," Miyamoto said.

Pretty dissapointing huh? Apparently, Koizumi snuck it in in SMG1.

heres the full interview. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/06/super-mario-galaxy-2/

Metal Gear Solid series and Final Fantasy series take the cake on this one.

Your all forgotten this, unless your HALF a fan of final fantasy 7

Final Fantasy 7:Crisis Core ending... There would be no cloud if it wasnt for him.. and the music.. not, that this doesnt show the final battle, how can anyone survive from it, and am not gonna spoilt it.

Ive hardly ever cried, but this made a tear fall down uncontrollable, i had to confide to my ex to cheer myself up.
Yeah, i was that bad.

The end of Zone of the enders 2: the 2nd runner, made me teary, but then again, its Hideo Kojima's work.
Devil May Cry 3 ending made me teary too.

Any game you feel an attachment to the character, you would get emotional, i guess thats part of the immersion process.

No one cared for Johnson dying in Halo 3? :(SparkyProtocol

That was so cheasy and predictable. Black military dude sacrifices himself then says a cheasy line before dying.

Eli's death came out of nowhere and was almost disturbing to watch as he got his brains pulled out of his head.

I actually laughed during Crisis Core's ending. It was so melodramatic it was almost painful >_>
