Except for the fact that since I didn't like her, I didn't spend a dime on her. She stayed in the reserves the whole time, just like Cait Sith.Diablo2000 said:

Infamous 2's good ending (and what happens to Zeke in the evil), Mordin's moment in Mass Effect 3, Hinawa and Claus in Mother 3, and the Pilgrim in Journey, atop the mountain.
Infamous 2 evil ending spoilers
Also Shadow of the Colossus.
Killing Zeke who really grew on me throughout the course of the second game, it honestly made me feel like a scumbag, I guess thats how an evil ending should be..
Also Shadow of the Colossus.
When you think Agro dies saving you
They didn't "part ways". They were ripped apart at the last second when finally, finally they were together again. I have never cried as hard in my life as the moment Simple and Clean starts playing and their hands are pulled apart. I went on youtube a couple months ago, looking for the ending and i was all "nah, it's been, what, 8 years since I last played Kingdom Hearts? There's no way-Oh, god, the feels!!! D:".Hawkolf said:
Never in my 26 years has a work of fiction effected me like the first Kingdom Hearts did. And I've read and watched some pretty sad stuff before.
Pretty much every major death scene in the Mass Effect series. I don't have it in me to pick just one. (Also now thanks to the extended cut the Systhesis ending is added to this when EDI says "Because of him... I am alive, and I am not alone." God damn that made me tear up like a child.)
John Marston from RDR. Need I say more?
The epilogue mission in Halo: Reach.
The end of Arkham City.
Ezio/Altair's final scenes in AC: Revelations. Overall probably the poorest game of the series (although still really no worse than mediocre), but those last moments with Ezio. So sad.

Bastion's ending damn near had me in tears, and that's rare for a guy like me.
Also, the obvious:
It doesn't seem all that upsetting now, but the first time you played through it; man what a gut punch. Merle Dandridge's voice acting really sells this scene.
There's another thing in Half Life 2, that is pretty minor but I find very depressing. At the very beginning of the game, right after you get off the train in City 17, you go left to exit the depot. There's a chain-link fence with a turnstile and you see a woman standing there clinging to the fence who asks you if there was anyone else on the train. When you go through and talk to her, she explains that the Combine stopped her train in the woods and took her husband. She thought he'd be there by now but says "They sure are being nice letting me wait for him." You know her husband won't be showing up. You know she'll probably never see him again. You know she may very well be standing there with her fingers hopelessly clenched to those chain links for a very long time. When you get to Nova Prospekt and find out what the Combine does to people they take, it just makes it that much worse. Yeah, that was kind of sad to me.

I second this. Interestingly, while I think Bioshock 1 was a better concieved and more significant game, it's emotional tone was less personal than the sequel.DementedSheep said:
For all the hate the sequel gets for not being coming close to the watershed (har har) moment the first was, I felt it was crafted with a lot of love and if it were carrying an original theme / IP / setting, it would have been assessed much more charitably.
In my own little world, I choose to believe Bioshock 2 isn't canon, but is a lovingly made, officially endorsed piece of fan fiction.

Movies, comics and TV just DON'T pull at my heartstrings... It's not a failing on their part, I'm just kinda clinical and detached. A few videogames do, which I feel is a subjective testament to the medium, but even then they are few and far between. For my own submission to this thread, I would point to the chilling, downer ending of Halflife Episode 2. Talk about a cold close. No spoilers, but if you've played it, you know what I'm talking about.
Baldur's Gate 2 runs fine on Windows 7 for me (but I know what you mean about Planescape Torment).Cowpoo said:Saddest moment in gaming?
Windows Vista/7.
I can no longer play planescape torment or baldur's gate 2
Anyway mine: Everytime you play an action-oriented game which decides its time for an escort mission!
Real option: Betrayal At Krondor has a sad ending. That would be the first one for me and still the one I found most compelling because of how the story and characters had grown on me (I still replay the whole game every couple of years).
Failing to protect Faridah when she gets shot down. Never even gives a hint shes about to blow the chopper-jetthing
For some reason when I was a kid a was really anal about protecting my army it gave me great micro but when a heavily armed convoy that you sent to rescue a few troopers on the other side of the map gets ambushed and destroyed it really hit me hard.
Zelda: Majora's Mask
The Song of Healing. Especially when played for Mikau and the whole part around the Zora domain after that.
Also pretty much every scene with the giants in it.

Yeah I watched the ending on youtube again and remembered what happened.Sean Hollyman said:odBilal said:
There's the scene
*checks wikipedia*
Wooow! Its been 4 years since it was released. Maybe I have to replay it again when I'm done with the first MGS and the HD Collection
The smaller stories in ME3. Finding out that the girl the PTSD Commando has been talking about the entire game is Jokers sister, the teen refugee at the docks patiently waiting for her parents to show up, and the guard protecting her. She is old enough to realize that they died so she would make it out, but young enough that a part of her still can't accept that. The Turian tech deploying to the front lines saying good bye to his asari wife, glad that they will be safe at Sanctuary while he fights for them. Finding out what is actually happening at Sanctuary.....
