The video game death that's most affected me was:
Eat your heart out, Aeris.
The death of the main character. P3's main storyline is somewhere in the 70 to 80 hour range assuming you only grind in moderation and do the Social Links as they're made available, so you've probably had a good while to get attached to the kid. The way it happens has a lot to do with how effective it is too, so bear with me for a bit...
For the last two months of in game time, you're aware that humanity's collective despair combined with an unfortunate accident in magically-powered mad science has started summoning the ancient Greek goddess of primordial night, and mental contact with her will lobotomize every living thing with a consciousness on Earth when she arrives. Her son/harbinger, the grim reaper, is telling you that it's a fight you can't win; and he's actually pretty bummed out by this. So, your characters, being plucky JRPG protagonists, completely ignore this (unless you opt for the bad ending), and show up ready to kick ass on the day of judgment... Except after they irritate Thanatos for a bit, Nyx is summoned anyway. And she is totally invincible.
The main character is able to avert the end of the world, but only by using a power that seals her away at the cost of all his HP. A month later, at the end of the school year, he's still alive but obviously ill, and you're given the opportunity to drag yourself out of bed to talk to all your friends one last time. On graduation day, he's so exhausted that he can barely move under his own power, and the demon-killing gynoid who is the only other member of the party that clearly remembers the supernatural goings on has to literally carry you to school so that you can meet the rest of the characters for a prearranged victory celebration. While you're waiting, everyone else finally manages to break the memory loss (apparently placed on them by a sympathetic reaper to help them move on with their lives), and goes out to meet him, but he succumbs to his injuries before they arrive.
And since this is a game where you choose all your protagonist's dialogue, you get to choose how to console the distraught AI that's first asking you what she'll do without a purpose and then begging you to hang on just a bit longer, and finally whether you want to close your eyes and die with dignity, or struggle (futilely) to stay awake until your friends arrive.
...Yeah.

Call me a traditionalist, but...
Granted, if I were really traditional, I'd probably be talking Planetfall [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetfall#Reaction].

HL2Ep2 There was a room full of hopping mines and Alyx walked into it, until then i thought she was invulnerable.
I was sadder over GLaDOS x3THEMILKMAN said:
Especially the Curiosity Core. That thing was so cute.
I'll also say that Areis' death never did anything for me. She was useless, I didn't like her, she... well, she was just a Companion Cube. Only more annoying to carry around.
This is why I gave up on the game. It was SO EMO!!! Hate me if you will, I never liked turn based RPG's & this was my attempt to give them a shot. I just couldn't get over the whining shite of this game.D_987 said:
yeah i know this is about games but my jaw hit the floor when the guy dies in 3 10 to yuma i was literally in the theater screaming WHYYYYYYY!!!!!!
Yeah, I felt sad when....
Roach and Ghost died, but I found it wierd that Ghost had the same voice actor as Gaz. Maybe they were related? Or maybe IW was lazy with the voice actors?
Woah, must have been some tough enemies. My Fawkes has taken down anything in his way with ease.Eggsnham said:
FF7 = no. seriously.
However,
Though the saddest death has to be when you were killed in multiplayer by a 10 year old kid with dual shotguns and a really high voice.
However,
In MW2, I was bit disappointed/saddened when Shepard kills you. I was like, KILL SHEPARD!!!!! However, on reflection it was because I had gotten though that level and to die at the end was really, really annoying

Fallout 3. I was exploring an area full of ghouls and dogmeat was with me. I had just used up all my vats and was moving around carefully with my shotgun out. All of a sudden one of the stronger ghouls comes running around a corner at me, straight in the sights for my shotgun. Without thinking I pulled the trigger. Then I see that dogmeat's jumping at the ghoul from out of nowhere and boom. Exploded dog and pissed off ghoul. I had to do a twenty minute replay to get back to the same spot with dogmeat alive. I swore from that day on he was not going to come with me until he had puppies.
Soul Calibur 4, online ranked Standard match... I'm playing Yoshimitsu, facing a decent Nightmare. It's the final round, and we're both one hcost it away from losing I press the button combo to make a Death Helicopter, but my finger slips on the D-pad... and I commit suicide by doing a move that shifts Yoshimitsu counter-clockwise, at the cost of HP...
