Oh... that's kind of sad... I guess

Whisper... stupid fucking Whisper...
"and another one to me."
It'll be hard for you to steal my Hobb kills in hell you dumb (expletive deleted)!

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

Anyone who dies in Lost Planet. I couldn't care less for the story and it's characters.

When Manny died in GTA IV, I was laughing my ass off and was like "good for you", but I couldn't help but feel sorry for him afterwards because all he wanted was to help people (I think)

Luis Sera
RE4

Fuck off, I loved Luis!

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!

Granin in MGS3

How was that plaid off tragically? I was laughing as he got his ass handed to him.

 

[Gotham Soul]

Aeris from Final Fantasy 7. Her death was so greatly exaggerated yet there was only one--just one--impact on the story, and that impact could have been perfectly made when she was alive. That just pisses me off.

 

[BaronAsh]

Every Body in KOTOR.

I said EAT THIS CARTH YOU MACHO BASTARD

 

[Copter400]

Claves from Eternal Sonata.

Maybe I'd feel more if she had been any use. Maybe I'd feel more if she hadn't, after getting stabbed, lay there on the floor delivering a bunch of bland exposition on the shit we've already figured out.

In fact, come to think of it, the only two characters in the game I gave a damn about were Chopin and Count Waltz, both because they were fucking awesome.

Aw come on! what about Beat? That little dude was the only thing that kept me playing (at least for a while)

 

[The Denzel]

I didn't much care when Lt. Williams died (optional) in Mass Effect.

Pretty much the same, except I chose her as the one who lives... she had better combat ratings then that douche.... and told her to cram it and get it together when she starts whining about it.

 

[The Wooster]

Pretty much everyone in MGS4.

nearly every character in Metal Gear Solid 4 gets their own drawn out tragic death scene regardless of whether they were particularly tragic or not.
All of the bosses in the game just happen to be hot chicks with super tragic pasts. There's supposed to be a serious point in there about how war has terrible effects on everyone who encounters it but it's kind of lost in a clumsy competition to see who can come up with the most ridiculously tragic backstory and the whole thing just comes off as cheap and manipulative.
The worst example of this is of course the fact Vamp gets his own tragic death. Yes. Vamp. The guy mostly known for murdering Otacon's teenage sister in Metal Gear Solid 2, dies very slowly and we're expected to feel sorry for him because he's immortal. It's madness. Kind of like playing through Wolfenstein 3d only to find once you've killed Hitler you have to listen to him tell you about how he 'only wanted to be loved'
It's worth noting however that the only character in the game who actually isn't as much of an asshole as he appeared to be, good old Revolver Ocelot, does not get his own tragic death scene. Perhaps they ran out of violin solos.

 

[Maet]

Aeris comes to mind immediately.
Captain Brennan from Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.

That's all I got right now.

 

[oogabuga]

Edmond Duke - StarCraft, Brood War

Kind of an old game, but maybe you remember him. Although I love the idea of southerners going around in battleships shooting things, I didn't really like this character a terrible amount.

Lets try to keep this with some major characters. I like some of these responses, but, "Every character at the beginning of Gears of War"? We can probably do a little better than that.

 

[some random guy]

Call of Duty 4.

There's the stereotypical black guy, the guy with the stupid moustache and the other one that's easily forgettable.

I never really got connected to any of them.

 

[TheIr0nMike]

Randomly generated Turkish Horse Archer # 1247 from Medieval 2: Total War Kingdoms. Sure I didn't know the guy that well, I mean he was one of thousands of soldiers in my army, but when he got hit by that arrow I just didn't think much of it. Whatever, you know? Though now I feel kind of guilty for my indifference. I bet the poor guy had a virtual Turkish family or something.

I actually did get a bit emotional when French Lancer #894 was killed. For some reason I felt I had a sort of brotherly bond with that one specifically.

 

[Copter400]

He had a gun, that's true, but he used the camera, and the camera made it too easy to make money.

 

[pieeater911]

When I killed Carth in KOTOR (Dark side, of course). I HATE Carth. He's such a dick, and has an extremely boring back story.

And I was pretty cool with Ashley Williams dying in Mass Effect since she's a racist bigot. Reminds me of the people from my home town. That, and she killed Wrex once when I accidentally hit the wrong dialogue option.

Wrex is awesome, Ashley is not.

 

[6unn3r]

I was genuinely saddend by Captain MacKay's death in Company of Heroes.

 

[stompy]

Another one that comes to mind is Kahn from Rainbow Six Vegas. Even Gabriel betraying everyone is kind of pointless because you really didn't know him as a character.

Same. Didn't really care for the characters, though the gameplay was alright.

Another one for me is Bud in GRAW. He was cool and all, but I just really didn't feel anything when he died. It was more "Ok... tell me who to shoot now."
