John Marston in RDR. That has seriously gotta be the saddest death I've ever seen in a game.

Oh and one of the bad endings to SH2 where James rows the boat into the lake to kill himself for what he did :(

What is the point of spoiler tags if you DON'T SAY WHAT GAME THEY ARE FROM?

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. You really felt a connection between the prince and Farah, so when she... well... At least you can time travel, I'll leave it at that!

Bonus points to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Seeing Heather die if you choose to keep her around. First and only time a game has ever made me feel like a monster by demonstrating the consequences of my actions. I knew I shouldn't have kept her around, and I knew something bad was going to happen. But damn it, you're not supposed to kill a character like 'that'. There's supposed to be a chance to save her, or at least a dramatic cinematic with sad music. As it is she's simply killed, and I was left feeling vaguely puzzled and hurt.

Not fair!

John Marston from Red Dead Redemption. Of course my character at the end of Dragon Age Origins. Everytime a character dies in Mass Effect 2 during the end mission, well it would if it happened to me :p

Game Well..
When Paulie killed Jenny.
Jackie.....this isn't your fault....
-Jenny

Also.
When both Light and L died. L dies when Light successfully manipulated Rem to kill him. Light dies when he's finally found out and killed by Ryuk. I honor both their Memories.

"Justice will Prevail"
-L

"I will become the God of the New World."
-Light Yagami AKA Kira.

This might only be because I've played the games forever and have a connection to them.

You don't see her die, but that flashback Chris has in the beginning to Jill's grave? Hit me like a punch in the gut.

Also, I'm sure if Joss Whedon ever makes a game, that'll be mentioned in this post. He likes to get people invested in characters and then kill them.

Most of the stuff that stuck with me has already been mentioned(BTW wolfwood did not die in the trigun manga,or so I heard).

One I can think of is the sister to whats his name in WIdd Arms 2 that was a bit of a WTF.

Another WTF is FO3 tenpenny tower massacre.


----------
I thought Lelouch became immortal and just faked his death and went away with with whats her name.

I didn't cry or anything at these points but it did make me feel bad and like a bit of a bastard.In MGS4 after each beauty drebin gives you a back story on her and their all quite sad and makes me feel bad for killing them.

also if were doing animes then.

In the full metal alchemist movie when wrath dies.

Dynasty Warriors 2

Nameless Bodyguard....he was only trying to serve me damn it!

In all seriousness probably Red Dead Redemption because that's the most recent one I remember.

Every team mate that dies in MW2. Mostly, when they move into my line of fire at the wrong moment.
It usually hits me when the firefight is over, and I realise that its just me and the key characters left, all the non-speaking characters having gone down. ;-;

Or what about GTAIV
Not to much Kate because no one likes her...but if Roman dies! It's awful!
This death made me happy face.
Seriously. I hated him with a passion.

A tragic death in a video game.

Tai, say what you like about Maria's death, but seeing Tai kill himself was shocking and tragic.

or

Army of Two: 40th Day, JB's death if you save him is sad. He was just chilling out and... well go find out for yourself.

In TV.

I would say that there are a few deaths in supernatural that are sad, mostly because they are typically sacrifices. The slaughter of the pagan gods is a shame as is the death of the trickster not to mention the fact that Ash died in the tavern explosion (but at least he gets his own slice of heaven).

Is was pretty upset when

<spoiler=Valkyria Chronicles Spoilers>Isara died

I liked her as a character.
I was thinking that but there were two others that really got to me from that game as well

<spoiler=Valkyria Chronicles Spoilers>Generic imperial soldier named Fritz that died in a cutscene in chapter 8 and the ensuing cutscene with general Gregor

<spoiler=Valkyria Chronicles Spoilers>Selvaria after what she said to Alicia and what she did to save the militia

That game is just really too good for words

how has no-one mentioned mother 3 yet, has no-one at the escapist played it?
there is an english version out there for ROMs, if you haven't, play it, and if you have, you would know what my thoughts are...
your mother dies and your brother shortly after, your brother's corpse is brought to life and used as a weapon against you, he only regains some of his former self moments prior to dying again
such a sad message...
