Oh yeah... I'd forgotten how much that depressed me upon completion, after all of it, you return to childhood, forget everything and all goes back to normal... as if nothing had ever happened at all, made me quite a bit sad as a child.dead_beat_slacker said:Ocarina of time made me sad when I finished it. Awww,... Now I'm sad thinking about it....Im gonna play left 4 dead to cheer me up
It's even worse, don't bother. I've tried playing it three or four times so far just because everytime i get halfway through the game some bug or other stops my progress.... causing me to have to restart and try and avoid whatever ridiculous issue came next.vdgmprgrmr said:
Enemies for quests didn't spawn, crashes loading certain area's that happen all the time!
Stalker Clear Sky is one of the reasons i have stopped paying for games.
I don't know if this qualifies, but Braid made me feel partly depressed. It was a weird combination of feelings (the most notably frustrating was being let-down by anticlimax).
I don't believe in spoilers, so I'll stop there, but no matter how I seem to flip it, I get a weird sinking feeling in my stomach thinking about that game now.
--Edit--
Final Fantasy X had that effect where I was half-crying and half-happy at everything. I couldn't even figure out if I was saddened or what, it was just a strange feeling.

Totally agree with you on HL2 Episode 2. Also Mirrors Edge, because it was so short.darthsmily said:
I was depressed when Crono died in Chrono Trigger, but then I again, I was like 10.
I get more scared from games than sad, but I think that's just the genre I frequent. My favorite games are the Silent Hill, Fatal Frame and the Resident Evil series'.
I was, however, very depressed when I found out that Mother 3 wasn't going to be released in America (or any English speaking country for that matter) until the translation patch came out for the rom. I still wish I could actually OWN the game and play it legit. I'm not really fanboyish enough to go out and learn a language as complex as Japanese over an rpg...

Albert Wesker's voice acting in the gamecube remake of the original, he brought tears to my eyes ;_;
I actually beat that recently, and I have to say, it didn't depress me. I agree it makes you very "Wait, what?" but then again...Calamity said:
The Main Character (MC)'s final persona "Messiah" hints at what will happen, in addition to the fact that I was concerned that this game would end with that. It made me happy to establish these relationships with people and then sacrifice myself to save them. It touched me as well when it hit me that he held on just long enough after the fight to keep his promise, and then he died. Also, I think Aigis didn't take away from the realism, oddly. She helped to add to the symbolism of it all. I liked the way her character became. I haven't played The Answer, though, so I'm unsure how that develops with her.
Jedi Academy 2. I can't get far before the... stupid, I'll say, levels that were built by the Empire make me give up.
This is true. They took out the guns for Persona 4, it turns out.Calamity said:
Although, back on topic,
Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4 also made me a little sad.
Though MGS4,
I thought the ending was a little silly, in that Kojima basically made Snake not matter. Everything he did was scripted to the very end, and nothing came out of it. I didn't like that. I hope they either add more to the tale, or...I'll just need to cry myself to sleep over the anticlimax.
You are of course being ironic. As we all know that Portal is the only perfect game in existence. After all, even ZP couldn't really say anything bad about it. Any game that can make you lament the "demise" of an inanimate object deserves recognition...soren7550 said:
While it didn't really go so far as to depress me, the ending of Braid was one that definitely made me pause for thought.
GTA IV. I really got into the storyline for that game. And the ending was really sad
When your girlfriend dies not Roman. Fuck Roman
I sort of see what you mean with The Godfather. It's...somber, if not exactly depressing. I'm pretty sure it's the music. Also, for some reason the environment seems somewhat empty, and too big, which is odd since there were certainly people around. Didn't stop me from enjoying it though.Firefly22 said:
I think there was some game that depressed the hell out of me but I can't think of it right now. I suppose I could say The Darkness, but it wasn't really depressing just dark, and it was supposed to do that. Very well done.
