Well, I have a few.
This isn't reeeealy sad, but in Infamous (thank the hackers for that game) there is a part where you can either save 6 scientists or your love of your life.
Now, I really had to stop right there. I was always a good guy in games, idk why, its just me, but see, if I saved her I would kill 6 scientists. I questioned myself there. I wanted to save her but I would kill 6 other people doing it. In the end I saved the scientists, but I was still very sad.
Of course, Red Dead Redemption. The fact that they let you be with your family for a while really made the impact of the ending so much bigger.
Fable. Fable fable fable. 3. See, again, I was a good guy. And of course I promised everyone that I would save them and make them all happy and shit.
See, I wasn't really sad at first. I just thought, big whoop, Ill jack up the rent on my houses and pay. But as the deadline drew closer, I began to panic and start to think "Should I really keep these promises?"
And of course, all my people got killed (Really, 6,500,000 people died) and whenever I would walk down the street afterwards I would always feel sad because all of these people hated me.
This doesn't really count as its a bunch of videos about a game (halo).
Its called Red vs Blue by Rooster Teeth (check it out) and it starts off being a funny but stupid comedy.
Then it becomes funny. Then it becomes funny with some plot. Then funny with a lot of plot. And then they get the animated fight scenes (So they don't have to fake the fights using halo.) and it was an awesome funny epic action packed video with a lot of plot.
And then.. the sad bit. The ending.
[/spoiler] One of the characters who we grew to love, Church, turned out to be an AI based on the Director (Barny Church I think) (the big guy who is a plot device) and his love, Tex, turned out to be an AI based on the women the director loved (Alice).
So they love each other because the Director loved Alice. Anyway, Tex/Alice gets trapped in a capture module (a storage unit for AIs) and Church/Barny follow her in there. They get trapped when the unit runs out of power and closes.
He then makes a FUCKING emotional speech at the end.
"About how a good love is like a good memory. The more you try to grab it, the further away it gets. But if you wait for it, it might just come back to you."
I cried my eyes out, so much so my family asked what I was crying about and they wouldn't believe it was a video. [spoiler}
Oh yes.... and Minecraft. The final showdown of Minecraft.
[/spoiler] I was in my fortress, and I went up to one of the balcony. Little did I know, a creeper was right below me. He blew a hole in the side, and the battle began. All kinds of mobs ran in, and my wolves attacked.
We held them off at each corner, but there was a STUPID amount of them. I fell back to the safe room, and shut the door with two wolves with me. The rest tried in vain to hold back the many mobs. Mobs had control of my entire castle. I wouldn't stand for it.
I was always paranoid that this would happen, so I had TNT hidden in all of my walls. This will show them. I pulled the lever and the first TNT on the lower levels exploded, the rest starting to blow.
I ran through the back door, climbing to the top. A creeper tried to blow up my stairs, but one of my wolves sacrificed himself to stop him. He was lost as we continued up. I got to the top, where I had built a skydive platform (like in Assassins Creed) and just as I was about to jump into the water below, an arrow just missed me.
I turned, and saw a skeleton had followed me up. One hit and I was dead. He fired. My wolf jumped in the way of his arrow. Wolfy died. I jumped. I was free. My tower exploded and the mobs were killed. I was sad. Really, if I had of videoed this, it would have been the best movie of all time.
P.S.
I over hyped this. When I say things like sacrifice I mean he was stupid but did a good thing. RETARD HI FIVE!
Oh yeah, and the TNT was there because I planned to blow it up later.... so at least it was useful!

MASSIVE POST END
inFamous 2 good ending. Christ, that was an incredibly sad ending.
Cole and every other conduit on earth die in order to stop the beast from destroying the rest of humanity. Zeke's narration at the end really drives it home.

Exactly, that is why the ending choice was so easy, I didn't even hesitate to revive my dog at the expense of the millions of other dead people and the gold. I didn't even care that my sister was coming back to I just wanted my poor dog back

The ending of Secret of Mana was also heartbreaking (amazing game)
The Pixie went into the final battle knowing that winning would essentially erase him from existence.
Numerous other great games have made me sad just by virtue of being brilliant and ending (i.e. OoT, LoZMM, Mario Galaxy)
Another great suggestion.LavaLampBamboo said:
Mass Effect 1: The Colonist background-specific mission "I Remember Me". I screwed that one up the first time and actually blurted out "NO!" when Talitha put the gun to her head and pulled the trigger.
Dragon Age: Origins: Loghain saying goodbye to his daughter moment's before his execution. "Daughters never grow up, Anora. They remain six years old with pig tails and skinned knees forever." That, and the fact that he surrendered (and sealed his own fate, knowing that he'd go down in history as his nation's worst traitor) without further resistance after realizing that the Grey Warden could save his country made me feel bad about killing him.
Another Dragon Age: Origins moment: Playing a female character who had taken Alistair as a lover, but who caused him to leave the party in anger by denying him justice for his King's betrayal. I was thinking "At least he'll live. He'll never forgive me for betraying everything that he stands for, but he'll LIVE. There was a VERY awkward conversation with King Alistair at the end of the game.
A third DA:O moment: Alistair sacrificing himself to finish off the archdemon when I played a female Grey Warden.

Probably Mass Effect 2 ending
on my first outing i didn't realise your teamates could die
and die they did
it got to me when Tali got tagged and Garrus got dragged away by flies
loved them both

I simply don't understand this. If you only went on two loyalty missions, you practically skipped half the game. What's the point?wolas3214 said:

This was the first thing that popped into my mind this one did give me conflict the first time.Kukulski said:
I liked most of my crew & I really liked Mission but it was a small price to pay to reclaim my title Dark Empress of the Sith & the Starforge. I f it had given me the option I would have let her go at least.
How has no one even given mention to ME2:Overlord DLC (included in the PS3 version)?
5 pages and not even a mention? (Yes... this thread is the one that lured me out of lurker status... >.<)

First they give you bits of flash backs as David shows you what Archer's experiments were doing to him...
Then when you beat the boss you find the autistic David begging for it to stop, and you see the whole thing he's hooked up to. (crying of course)
And then Archer comes out and tries to tell you how it somehow got out of control and he didn't mean to let it get that far, all the youtube videos of the paragon ending choose the "until people started dying" text, but honestly if you watched the flashbacks you know the other choice, the one where you accuse him of lying is more appropriate there.
Archer then goes on to try and justify his actions...
Then finally admits what he's done is immoral, looks his brother in the eyes, and then asks you to let him keep his brother anyway...
As I've read some commentators on youtube inevitably say in some variation or another on the various videos of this ending... "You know you've Effed up when the paragon interrupt is a pistol whip to the face..."
"The square root of 912.04 is 30.2... It all seemed harmless"

the beginning of bioshock 2. i was transfixed, staggered, saddened, and knew the game was going to be awesome.
Alpha Protocol. I pre-ordered the game almost a year in advance. When I finally got it I put the disc in ready to play what was sure to be an amazing RPG experience. What I got was a cluttered disorganized crap-fest. This game got delayed for 8 months? Why? Did obsidian decide that it was good and they needed to make it terrible?
I still look back and weep a solitary tear when I think of the game that could have been *sniff*

Jenny's death in The Darkness was definitely the most emotional moment in gaming for me, but I also think that the ending itself is sad for a number of reasons.
Throughout Jackie and Jenny's relationship he's been desperately hiding his inner darkness from her, even before he gains the powers of the literal Darkness. Then, to avenge her, he embraces both his inner darkness and the Darkness itself, thus becoming exactly what he feared Jenny would see him as.
