This is the man who's strung you along the entire duration of the game. He's used the promise of amnesty and the threat of execution as a carrot-and-stick, forcing you to do his bidding while keeping freedom just out of reach. When it's all said and done and you think it's really over, he guns you down in cold blood.

Years later, when you track him down as Jack Marston, you've finally got the chance to take your revenge. There's no gang of criminals to fight, no US marshals to evade. It's just you, Ross, a spit of land and a pair of revolvers.

And when you do it... That's it. You blast his brains out and it's over. No one throws you a parade, no one congratulates you on avenging John's death. Jack doesn't even smile, or show any signs of satisfaction whatsoever. You build this encounter up in your mind, but once you finally get there, you find out that all you're really doing is shooting some old man for a reason that nobody cares about except you.

It's the ultimate anti-climax. It's pretty brilliant, from a storytelling perspective, but as a gamer... Ouch. Twist the knife more, why don't you?

Emile from Reach

He got stabbed in the back with an energy sword and could still speak like nothing happened at all... All in all i had great hopes that the character emile would do something cool at the end but well..
Oh boy, Halo fanboy time...

The reason Emile could brush it off as if nothing had happened was because he is a Spartan III. When they went through their Augmentation process, Kurt had added some of his own augments because he wanted his Spartans to be as good as possible so they didn't die. One of the things he added was something that made the Spartans virtually invulnerable to pain. Emile literally didn't feel a thing.

Emile's death was pretty badass IMO.

Explain to me how you can EMP proof any electronical tech.
As far as I'm concerned, the big-ass weapon went boom, and they all should've been frozen because their suits went offline.
Use a Faraday cage.

Kat in Halo Reach

It was so undramatic and uninteresting. It was just like "wait, what just happened?"

It happened so fast that if you blinked you would have missed it.
Please spoiler box that...That's all I ask.

Tassadar in Starcraft - it was an awesome idea, plot point, etc, but the cutscene fell flat.
Agreed.

I'd have to say that Dr person from Starcraft 2. It's as if nothing really happened. I blame Raynor's lack of character development.

The final boss for Fable 3. Hours spent leveling up my guy and the final battle is won with a freakin' music box never seen since the beginning of the game. After that you can choose to shoot the guy or wait till the other guy does it for you. What was the point of the rest of the game and those powers?!

Maria from Silent Hill 2, because I couldnt do anything about it. Then later in the game they made me think I could, then she died AGAIN!
Silent Hill is a good choice. The one that made me shake the most, however, was this one: <youtube=9Zt3fCg2SKA>

The Metal Gear Solid character death is pretty memorable. I was always embarrassed to have anyone in the room while playing MGS just because how corny the death was. "SNNNAAAKKKKEEE!!!".

Counter Strike was also a funny death. Pressing your M button when switching teams and hearing your character groan is quite memorable.
dude, the "SNNNNAAAAAKKKEEEEE" was like the best part of the games.

I'm gonna go with Tychus Findlay, sure he was the typical, gruff space marine archetype character but I liked the guy, and after everything he and Raynor had acomplished, hell he even hijacked the odin and took it for a rampage around town, to just be downed by one pistol bullet to the face, thats just bad

So nobody's gonna mention that ***** from FF7?
It's grossly over-rated, but not the worst. It lacked substance, meaning, or emotional attachment; but it would have been amazing if those outside elements were actually there to build to it.
Yeah, I eventually figured that I could find much, much worse...Like Maria from Silent Hill or those brothers from Gears
But I agree with Aeris.

This was actually my fav. part of the game. I thought it was so surprising and I was shocked.

Sgt. Gary 'Roach' Sanderson (MW2). Seriously, after all he gets put through, a guy murders him while he's wounded? Unfair.
No Ghost. I loved Ghost he was so cool. He wore a cool skeleton mask. And his name was Ghost, I wish my name was Ghost.

I believe there was a video Once about this...Somewhere on Newgrounds about a Reporter in the SC world, something like that.

OT: im gonna go ahead and say Shepard at the beginning of Mass effect 2. when his suit starts leaking, I like to yell "Im melting, Meeelting!" like the witch from Wizard of Oz.
