I was actually pissed about two deaths, both in the same game. Mind you that I came from gory-death-shooting-action-fun, so I had nearly no experience in good drama in gaming.
Crisis Core when:

I don't want to sound like a fanboy, both those deaths really created a solid ending for the characters, but I just got a little pissed when those died.
Edit: I forgot literature.

Now to end this post, here's a dismissal.
Crisis Core when:
Genesis bites it. Twice! First time I was "Huh. Well, too bad." Second time I was really pissed, 'cause the guy actually cured his cancer. Then he stands before the goddess (Who is acutally just a spirit, but what the hell, he belives it.) and dies AGAIN! I'm no fan of the FFVII series, but Genesis was a favourite character of mine.
and:
When Zack dies. One of the missions has you facing a THOUSAND SOLDIERS and I went through that with ease. Then this army comes by and shoots you in the face. I hated that, a lot. And to rub it some more, Cloud gets all the glory of the death, taking the sword with him and leaving the body of the guy who dragged him 'cross country and saved him from a life of experiments and addiction. That really pissed me off. I hit new game after that and kicked arse with Zack.

Hedwig made me go "What the hell?" Although it was a good way of 'shedding Harry's youth' as Rowling put it. For that matter, Dumbledore was quite the WTH as well.
The main antagonist. I think his name was Jagagan, or something. That was an intentionally quick death, but too quick for my taste. At least Nicci should have gotten a bit of vengance.
When Mara's first born died, crushed by a horse that was poisoned via a dart from an assassin tasked with the assassination of Mara. That was a real heartbreaker. Quite the surprise as well

Seriouly, you didn't see that one coming? It was kind of obvious.monkey_man said:
Ok, I have a 'curse' where characters I like are almost certainly going to die... but the one that really stands out to me...
Watched angelic Layer, loved it, fell in love with one of the characters. I learn that 'Chobits' was set in the same universe (not a direct sequel, but definitely the same setting advanced a few years)and was surprised to find out my favorite character was in it...so I looked it up, only to find
It REALLY upset me. I didn't think they would do something so cheap to a character who had had a 'happy ending' in her own show

She's a supporting characters Dead Older Sister... She's killed off before it even starts to give a character tragic backstory... and the character isn't even in or mentioned in Angelic Layer!

That was quite a poignant scene. But what is art for, if not to manipulate your feelings?hardter said:
Roarschach
Hughes gets killed, damit!
Your dog. After Lucien killed him I lost all simpathy I felt for him.
Everything is a spoiler, I don't know how to put spoiler tags though.
Romin dying in GTA. Gaz and Captain Mustache in CoD 4. Boromir dying in LOTR, but he took that arrow like a man. Obi-Wan dying in Star Wars. It could have at least been a bit more epic.

Hedwig-- what the Hell.
Mad-eye Moody-- He was just plain cool-- and he dies three seconds after Hedwig bites it.
Professor Lupin, Tonks, and that other bloke-- Do I really need to explain?
Professer Snape-- ah, here's a character we all know and-- nope.

Those were all pure bulls**t.
Also, I'd like to give honorable mention to Starkiller in TFU-- and if you didn't see that coming, you probably need help dressing yourself.
Fullmetal Alchemist
Fable II
Gundam Seed
And finally, Cowboy Bebop.
They killed the coolest character, Hughes, in almost no time at all.
Fable II
Your dog. Screw being eternally good if I lose the best thing about that game.
Gundam Seed
When Mwu La Flaga died. This was before I knew he came back in Seed Destiny.
And finally, Cowboy Bebop.
When Spike dies at the end. No man that awesome should die.
Trish in inFamous. First, she didn't get a whole lot of screen time and I felt she could have been a very well developed character. Second, you got screwed over no matter what you did. Once I finished that, I punched a wall in anger.
