Bioshock, you have to learn to cope with the crushing depression. I did, I became a homicidal maniac. The same thing applies to Fallout 3.

I know what you are talking about. When the main quest finished and The Wanderer (my char) died i seriously felt sorry for himHeadwouend said:Fallout 3 has a lot of bitter pills scattered around for you to swallow, but there was one particular moment which really made me feel sorry for my character.
He's one of the good guys proudly wearing his regulator duster, on top of that he just lost his dad, then after his latest deed, basically saving everyone's sorry asses he was sent away. Details in the spoiler.
After setting everything straight at Vault 101, talking the overseer back to his senses, new Miss Overseer sent my character away, being the self-righteous cow she turns out to be.
There lies so much in that moment as he steps out the Vault for the second time, seeing the same scenery he saw when he first left the only home, the only world he knew. He looks into the wasteland and sees the still exact same wasteland after all his efforts, having no one left of his family, being rejected from his home. The loneliness surrounding that poor guy really touched me for a moment.
I could almost hear him yell "What's the f'ing point?!"
After that I started to play one hell of a cutthroat *****. :>
I thought that Drakengard 2 was quite depressing when you fight Legna, but MGS3&4 depressed me the most
fallout 3 can be super depressing if your evil because you actually feel guilt.also 3 dog is if realy hartless if have bad carma even if you just made a mistake or had no choice like when the first over seer strarts attacking you you have no choice but amartastill hates you.

How did you make Roman die? That didn't happen for me... Or was it in-game?
I get depressed whenever I fail to do something in a game. The last time I really felt depressed was when me and my brother couldn't beat Sonic 2, we had been trying for ages on co-op... Damn the Mega Drive for not being able to save... We were depressed for a long time after that...
When I nearly completed Pokemon Emerald and the game cart was faulty, so whenever I completed it it told me the save file was corrupt. I was so damn tenacious - or stupid - I did that three times before I destroyed the game cart...
Yes! All that happened to me tonight, first watching dad die, then having to leg it and move on, then returning to the vault to sort out all the problems only to be kicked out and never return. I just yelled what the fuck *****, you cry out for me to return then boot me out. I went in with Very Good karma, came out with BadHeadwouend said:Fallout 3 has a lot of bitter pills scattered around for you to swallow, but there was one particular moment which really made me feel sorry for my character.

The ending of 'Metal Gear Solid 3' is pretty memorable (you probably know which part I'm referring to)
The endings of 'Ico' and 'Shadow of the Colossus' are both beautiful and yet very bittersweet. That depresses me more than a big, tearful ending.
It always depresses me when a character is drawn into a situation in which you know from the beginning that that character doesn't stand a chance and still fights to escape.

Let's see...
Anything Sonic after Genesis died out. Nuff said.
Anything after Spyro the Dragon II. Solid platformer from when they were popular getting worse and worse with each game.
I hate to see potential wasted.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Fallout 3, Bioshock and Dead Space
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Fallout 3 because the landscapes are washed out and enemies seem either desperate ( The Bandits/Raiders) or Mutants. Also reading and seeing the bodys of dead people in the middle of nowhere.
Bioshock and Dead Space made me feel that way aswell now I think about it with the recordings of the people you found

Actually, I thought it was a confusing load of tripe. However, you reminded me of MS1 whenAxolotl said:
I screwed up the torture room thing the first time around... Meryl died and Snake had to ride off into the sunset with Otacon. That was depressing.
Otacon: "Do you think love can bloom on the battlefield, Snake?"
Snake: "..."
Otacon: "Do you think love can bloom on the battlefield, Snake?"
Snake: "..."
I actually replayed the game so I didn't have to have that one on my conscience.
I know it's been mentioned before, but Fallout 3 really depressed me. But, kind of like what Mr. Fisher said, I was kind of depressed that I would never truly exist in that world.
It really says something about the world's current state of affairs when one starts to pine for the nuclear apocalypse. It'd make life far more interesting, don't you think?

The end of Fallout 3 (and the V.A.T.S malarkey) still haunts me. Every time I look at the case I always have the grim realisation that I wasted £40.
Dead Rising was a little bit depressing, while playing I always thought 'why am I even bothering? With the number of times I've been bitten, I should be a walking cadaver by now'.
