I was playing Fallout 3 the other day and came upon a few super mutants...well I was killing off the first two with some plasma rifle shots to the head, but after I kill them, I see the final one deliver the crushing blow with a sledgehammer to my beloved companion Dogmeat

11/12/2009 2:56:22 PM

obligatory aeris' death

11/12/2009 3:03:38 PM

^^ i always reverted back to my last autosave when dogmeat died

Also in the game The Lost Crown., the story of train station director was even sadder than the death of Lisa Garland. Wish I could find a clip of it.

11/12/2009 3:11:21 PM

After beating all the fighters in Street Fighter IV, only to realize that I'll NEVER EVER be able to beat Seth (other than on easiest/easy mode).

My thumbs are raw.

Metroid - the entire game depressed me as a kid
Chrono Trigger- Chrono dying
MGS- Sniper Wolf encounter
Oblivion- drinking the potion or whatever and killing all the "trolls"
MGS4- Snake's "suicide"

oh yeah and the original Half-Life ending- either way

Completely agree.

the ending of metal gear solid 3 was pretty sad

11/12/2009 6:51:59 PM

When I got Dragon's Lair for the NES and spent hours on the first screen... I cried.

11/12/2009 7:26:18 PM

What a villain in this game. Its amazing how well it came off with how little he was in the game.

11/12/2009 7:29:37 PM

11/12/2009 7:43:58 PM

^whoever made that video changed the audio from what it originally was



Final Fantasy X ending

11/12/2009 9:21:03 PM

^ My eyes got slightly watery at the end of FFX. I think it was more the music than anything else though. DAMN YOU NOBUO UEMATSU!!!!

"Zelda: Wind Waker ending"

Seconded. I also think the ending to Twilight Princess was sad. The music seemed to really drive it home, though.

I watched about 2 hours of walkthrough from the first Metal Gear Solid thanks to this thread. fml

11/13/2009 5:07:22 PM

FFVII: Aeris' death
FFVI: Celes' (attempt at) suicide / Cid's death
Actraiser: Kassandora / The Invention of Music
Dragon Warrior IV: Beginning of Chapter V, when the hero's town is destroyed / hero's friend sacrifices her life. Also, end of Chapter IV, with Mara and Nara fleeing after failing to exact their revenge.
Dragon Quest V: Hero's father is killed / hero is pressed into ten years of slavery (also, when you're turned into a statue for 8 years)
Chronotrigger: When the three first learn about the Day of Lavos. Also if you fail to defeat Lavos (Witnessing the last moments of the human survivors / "But the future refused to change")
MGS3: The ending / The Boss' grave (seriously, I tear up a little every time)
MGS: Sniper Wolf (natch)
MGS2: Emma's death
Breath of Fire 2: When at the "big church" and the two resistance members are publicly executed / Katt agreeing to marry the resistance leader / Refusing to enter the underworld ending
SoulBlazer: Ending; more bittersweet than anything else. "Lisa stood alone" / hero returns with no memory

I'm sure there's others I'm forgetting. ChronoTrigger has some of my favorites, along with Celes and MGS3 as being some of the most emotional points in games I can remember.

11/13/2009 10:32:59 PM

fable 2, for some reason i got sad when you kill the evil chest, chesty. he just wanted to be super best friends
http://fable.wikia.com/wiki/Chesty

also the whole thing where you go back in time with your sister and she sets up the perfect day for you... :'(

gears of war 2 when the dude finds his wife. not only sad but really creepy.

when my princess was in another castle...

11/14/2009 1:16:29 AM

There are several sad moments in Chrono Cross (can't believe it's been 10 years since it came out)

*When Serge is turned into Lynx and he runs into Kid and she doesn't realize who he really is.
*When Serge fights the guy who sailed along with his father to find a cure for Serge's illness

11/14/2009 1:20:06 AM

when your horse falls off the cliff in Shadow of the Colossus. jeez louise.

11/14/2009 1:33:38 AM

you guys already got all the good ones except for:

Secret of Mana: the ending with sprite watching the moon alone, stuck forever in the mana realm

and aeris

i'll never get over those two
damn you squaresoft

11/14/2009 1:40:06 AM

Super Mario Brothers-when the cocksuckers kept telling me the Princess was in another castle.

11/14/2009 3:43:53 AM

seriously, the ending to Mother 3 wins this thread.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89Lj00wPlzk

I've never cried at a video game, but this ending brought me very, very close.

Mother 3 is a pretty emotional game overall. Here's another sadder excerpt:

*Modern Warfare 2 spoilers, so I'll be extremely vague*
The scene near all the helicopters. With the revolver. Sort of near the end. I mean, damn, it came out of fucking nowhere...

11/14/2009 6:14:35 AM

Oddly enough, I have been playing FF6 and just got to the World of Ruin.

You can save Cid, although its not as fun.

11/14/2009 11:38:07 PM

the only thing i could think of was the "sorry but your princess is in another castle." from Super Mario Bros.

other than that, I have never played any of the games you nerds have mentioned in this thread.

11/15/2009 1:41:00 PM

^By (unofficial) definition, having played Super Mario Bros. makes you a nerd.

11/15/2009 2:17:06 PM

right.


i mean i never said i wasn't a nerd... just not like you people

11/15/2009 4:03:32 PM

the worst feeling I have gotten in a video game is when CJ's homies double-cross him by working for the ballas.

11/16/2009 9:10:08 AM

everyone talking about FF6 Celes' suicide..

I thought the ghost train with Cyan's wife and kid was sadder

"MGS- Sniper Wolf encounter"

the saddest part of mgs is buying it after hearing everyone hail it as one of the best games ever, beating it in two days by repeatedly tapping the attack button to kill the final boss, and realizing you got hosed for $50.

12/9/2009 1:32:08 PM

maybe the later games hosed you for money because they stretched the story to preposterous lengths

but that game was awesome

12/9/2009 2:30:41 PM

HL2:Ep2 has a terribly saddening ending. After the buildup to that moment, I mean hell, I teared up.
