I like to believe that people who chose to do that were held at gunpoint. I couldn't believe that just watching that made me feel awful.Fappy said:

Wow, nobody's mentioned this yet? I must admit I'm a bit surprised.
And I know this kinda doesn't count but if any fictional event has ever come close to actually making me cry instead of just being a huge impact it's this one.
Cole's death in Infamous 2's good ending

The bit near the end of Journey where your character collapses in the snow
Poor guy... how he managed to get a job there is beyond me. His presence did kind of make LaCroix look slightly foolish tbh. In fact how he even became Prince is a fucking mystery.thaluikhain said:
For me its gotta be this:
Gremio's sacrafice. The guy literally locks himself in a room filled with man-eating spores that eat him alive while hes talking to you through the door. I mean its cool you can resurect him towards the end of the game but at the time its pretty upsetting!
If I have to choose right this minute, then the ones that I always think about when people bring this subject up is actually the deaths in Goodnight Mister Tom.
I STILL cry rivers when I read that book.
Something more recent would be... Nope, can't think of anything. There was that film I saw a about 7-8 years ago, where a mother of 8 (I think) finds out she has cancer and, knowing her husband wouldn't be able to take care of the kids, she sets out to get them good families before she dies. My mother died of cancer very suddenly when I was 7 so it hit close to home. Dunno if that one counts though.
The deaths of Will's little sister and his best friend Zach to be exact.

I didn't kill the technician (i did find the body of the real one but figured it was a bug)
so therefore on the final mission the pilot blew up
it just came out of nowhere, and knowing that i could have prevented it made it even worse
godammit I miss him

Xenoblade chronicles, and what happens when you meet/fight Metal Face for the first time. Sadness so severe, I had to stop playing, and take a day of mourning.
Damn, I liked Tali, I didn't really know what I was doing, thought it meant that it would eliminate a small squad of the quarian fleet that was too close, not the lot. Then she threw herself off that cliff. I tried to grab her but I was too late.
I thought about downloading a save or savegame editor or something but I thought that it was too powerful to simply edit out. Mordin's also hit really hard but not in the same way, he died a fucking hero. And that's saying something coming from me.

I'd have to agree with people on the Code Geass and Mass Effect choices, though I believe...
... killing Mordin is a great scene for the extreme renegade Shephard. Kind of a moral event horizon, and really cements their willingness to do anything to complete their mission. Those people who refuse to do it even on alternate renegade saves are missing out on a lot, in my opinion.
I've heard a lot of criticism of the story in this game for some reason, but I really enjoyed it. Joker's entirely avoidable and self-wrought demise managed to seriously affect me, which is strange considering how clearly evil he is.
Oh god, what? I've just started these games, and now I'm going to be worried that something horrible is about to happen in every scene. I'd assumed it was pretty light-hearted, prior to reading this.Marik2 said:
Firefly/Serenity
I would have to say Wash's death in Serenity. I loved Wash's character and when he had just "landed" Serenity and everyone was alive and well when they all should have died... to just so suddenly be killed. Well... here:
Your second spoiler surprised me, but also let me know that I was reading something very new and different. Your second spoiler? Well, it is hands down one of the most gutting moments I've ever experienced in all my years of reading. I've never really forgiven Martin for it.Toaster Hunter said:
Captcha: Which one is red? (sigh) They both were, Captcha, they both were.
I didn't renegade and it was still sad. All of my mates deaths left me sad. It was/is the hardest game I've ever played on a mental/emotional standpoint. It really drains.Aerosteam 1908 said:
Another really stands out for me. And as they say: you never forget your first, which for me was:
I don't recall TV or Film, I'll edit post if I do, but for games it would have to be:
John Marston. I did not see it coming. That game was untarnished by the internet for me so it was 100% fresh, especially since I had played its spiritual ancestor back on PS2 I had actively avoided reading anything about Redemption.
When Marston died, I nearly shed a tear.

Yeah, the one from Mass Effect 3 mentioned multiple times here is my choice.
Others that come to mind are:
from Max Payne 2
and
from Assassin's Creed Revelations.

Vinnie Gognitti

desperate times, mostlyAerosteam 1908 said:
at least that's how ME3's renegade shepard comes across to me, as if he/she was desperate to stop the reapers that he/she would do anything
granted, killing mordin and preventing him of getting his redemption is the videogame equivalent of drowning kittens with your own hands, but still =P
What you do is type inscarecrow350 said:
to begin the spoily part, and type in the same thing with a / before "spoilers" (I can't demonstrate it without it becoming a spoiler itself).
Also, if you want to make it say something other than "Spoiler: Click to View"
you simply write

OT: Mine would probably be in Watchmen when
Hollis Mason was killed by the Knot-Top gang. It was so tragic, but you really couldn't help feeling happy for him, in a weird way, it seems the best way someone like that could have died
