Sad gaming moments.

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

Spoiler: Aquaria just gets sadder as you progrss and it turns out that

you're alone in the ocean

Spoiler: Also, every boss battle in Aquaria that you win is not celebrated

but instead you are shown either how the creature you just defeated became so, how it wiped out a civilization or both.

 

Spoiler: Sword of mana also has its moments

such as when you (as Hero) defeat medusa and you have to kill Amanda.

Some old WoW RP I did a good many months back (before the new expansion's reveal) in which my old Shaman Equani sacrificed himself to keep, and I quote from a prophet from the RP, "A terrible cataclysm from befalling all of Azeroth." It was an epic and moving moment for everyone there, and I lost one of my favorite characters as a result.

... It wasn't quite successful, was it?

And the Cataclysm still happened

Kinda what I hinted at, yeah.

playing kingsfield for the first time.

NEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD.

Just kidding.



OT: Hm... probably Oblivion, when I tried to go undercover in the thieves guild and killed the Gray Fox, but only I can't kill him, because he just goes unconcious. I SHOT HIM IN THE F@#%$@*!&*@$#&*$ING FACE HE IS TOTALLY DEAD!

But seriously, when playing Bioshock for the first time - watching Atlas' wife and kids die was pretty bad.

Also, Baldur's Gate - Gorion! Noooooooooo!

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

I would say when the american died in cod4 but that view of the mushroom cloud was just beautiful

plus I didn't really like him.

I don't really get sad from games,sorry.

 

[magicmonkeybars]

how about all of halo, that makes me sad

 

[Metropocalypse]

When Raiden is revealed in MGS2.

 

[pipboy2010]

In the original KotOR, if you were evil you could

Spoiler

kill Mission.

It is possibly one of the most despicable acts in videogames and made my heart pang in sadness.

Then you were clearly doing a bad job of being a Sith.

C-, must try harder.

Wait, how is that? Mission is one of the most likeable characters in the game, and

Spoiler

forcing her own best friend to kill her

is low even for a Sith I must admit.

I remember that. Luckily enough, I didn't force Zaalbar too, as I didn't use him. I just killed her myself! But it was sad. I had a great connection to her, as well as Jolee. But HK made it all better.

Also, when [spoiler/]Seargent Johnson died[/spoiler] I was very sad. He was one of the main reasons I enjoyed the Halo single player, with his witty one liners and his great joy in shooting the living hell out of any non human or elite.

 

[Axle_Bullitt_19]

Each time a member of the original cast of caracters died In Call of Duty 2: Big Red One and when Joe "Red" Hartsock got paralized in Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway.

True enough, I suppose. I never got much out of playing the evil path anyway. The game gives you better rewards for playing the good path, and besides I'm naturally more Jedi than Sith.

 

[ElephantGuts]

Hmm, let's see. Half-Life 2 Episode 2's ending, a few parts of World in Conflict, The Darkness, several parts of GTA4... That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh also, Empire: Total War when

Spoiler

You realize what a mess of a game it is.

 

[Hybridwolf]

Gears 2, Doubt no one knows about it. The music just made it worse, and the fact that I knew it was going to happen. That and the ending of frontlines. The whole speech at the end, then the camera panning out to show the red star's retaliation. Just made me feel like I wasted all that time, that huge final fight only for a counter attack. That and the speech was more or less about how the world could rebuilt itself.

 

[Gaderael]

Like too many will say, in FFVII, when Aeris dies.
Also FFVIII, when Laguna visit's Raine's grave.

 

[Shadowfaze]

When dogmeat got shot by the enclave in fallout 3... he took one of them with him though.. sob. butt how did his bites work through the enclave armour? oh wel... sob
